gunsmith cats full anime on youtube
>In the dangerous suburbs of Chicago, skilled bounty hunters Irene "Rally" Vincent and "Minnie" May Hopkins run Gunsmith Cats, a firearms store of questionable legality. One day, Bill Collins, an agent for the Chicago branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, blackmails Rally and May into working with him on a case. The stakes are high, but Rally’s gunmanship and May’s knowledge of explosives are unmatched. As Rally and May unravel the secrets of the case, the two will need to use guns and grenades while being faster, stronger, and better than everyone else in order to stay alive.

Gunsmith Cats was a great show. I torrented the show and watched an episode a day with some friends. Good times!

>>25950
I feel like pre-s4 rwby recaptured this vibe a bit

>>25950
Merc type people living a hardscrabble existence in the seedy underbelly lurking behind the capitalist excess of the 80s/90s?

>Merc type people living a hardscrabble existence in the seedy underbelly lurking behind the capitalist excess of the 80s/90s?

that feels like the best way to describe it, but with very edgy music that's either jazz, or electronic or even rap depending on the scene, the kind heard before on some old radio station or a low budget action film

>>26140
>>25950
I love that vibe. Anything that has to do with world of mercenaries, assassins, guns (or swords) for hire, gangsters. Out of anime, Jormundgand and Gangsta kind of managed to capture it too. In video games, there is Shadowrun series, Vampire: The Masquerade, sections of Fallout 2. Hotline Miami also kind of touches on it, as does Far Cry 2. Kane and Lynch? Theres gotta be more video games like that, can think of any though. Movies, surprisingly not many come to mind as well, lot of them feature underworld, but its more of a backdrop on which action and drama plays out, they dont really explore it. John Wick I guess does.

that one is amusing because the game is supposed to be set in 2009 but because it's african nation still technologically behind everything is still cold war era. just fun to think while people are starting to use iphones and ipads in the western world, here's you. still taking assassination contracts on your beep beep 1991 Vodafone cellphone with dusty buttons and a built in halo kitty wallpaper (don't forget the snake game) by conntecting it to the only cell tower in the area.

that and killing other mercenaries with your rusty eastern block era AKs and portuguese colonial era grenades unused since 1979.

you should try johnny rocket fingers, it has enough of that vibe, it got crime-core. edge-core. ghetto core. mafia core. bountyhunter core. guns core, action core. 90s era core, unforgiving grey city core. core core.

and it's a newground game core.

newground used to have a lot of crime vibe animations. only on newground you could see a stick animation of sonic and rose tearing up albanian thugs with guns to the sound of Superwaha.swf


>>26184
decent vibe

so have we found an overall name for that vibe yet? if i can i'm gonna start calling it gunsmith cats core, or gunsmith core

>>26199
>so have we found an overall name for that vibe yet?
Uh, hardboiled? Exploitation fiction? John Woo?

>>26200
i love john woo, i'll call it that from now, but Exploitation works too.

not sure about hardboiled, the black and white noir genre has taken over that word

fellas be honest would you want to see a gunsmithcats continuation today or is it best left it as it is? i'm not sure it can survive the current dead internet discours, it'll either be praised for being, how you say based ancap anti-woke animu by retarded xitter crowds or the reverse

Hardboiled is generally a sister-genre to noir, with a private detective protagonist solving a mystery related to prohibition-era organized crime. Stuff we're talking about tends to borrow elements from it, like being about freelancers and often having a conspiracy to uncover, but it's definitely outside that very specific subgenre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardboiled

Exploitation and grindhouse are more about graphic/explicit content and being edgy, not just being about the "seedy underbelly" of society. The point is that they're provocative in an attempt to grab attention. Like clickbait. It's more about the spectacle than the vibes.

"John Woo" implies a pretty specific visual style and action choreography that's usually intentionally paying homage to John Woo. It's often included in modern action stuff but it's more related to the style of action than the story or setting.

None of these things are mutually exclusive, but it's more like they're adjacent to or a component of this kind of story.

>>26202
Not everything needs to be remade/updated/continued. If somebody wanted more of this type of story they should come up with something original that fits the present better.

This show has the best OP. Also, the lesbian undertones and the authors genuine love for firearms made it very entertaining.

>>27966
>lesbian undertones
From what I remember it was pretty explicit in the characters being straight.

>>25968
I live there and I can confirm this place is great.

>>27967
Irene and some other character show interest in each other but they dont get together because they say things are too fucked up at the time if I remember correct

>>27967
They are lesbians in my mind


>>27971
>>27967
mods need to move the thread to >>>/lgbt/
