REVIEW:
This is an extensive series with just the right number of characters from differing backgrounds who gather together before leaving on a mission to find a man suspiciously called "The Claw."
Van has one of those temperaments that is straight out of a western movie, all handsome, enigmatic and ruthless, almost cold in a way to Wendy's advances as she offers herself to him as a substitute bride. Wendy is a little more upbeat in his though her life is one of unhappiness in the face of all the drama around her.
Joined by the curvaceous Carmen 99, a ruthless yet fun girl who can gun tote with the rest of them, Ray a handsome drifter with his brother Joshua who tries his best to curb his elder brother's dangerous wrath, which is harder for him to do than he imagined as his vengeance is absolute.
More characters are to come along with these, both good and bad, making the series the all action hit it is.The art is superb, the animation wonderful and fluid and the characters given enough emotion to convey their personalities to the viewer. It is action-filled with both serious and humor filled moments creating the right amount of balance so viewers can appreciate it more.
