Broooooooooo holy crap Rushuna Tendo is literally carrying this entire show on her cartoonishly massive back… and by back I mean those honkin’ honkers that defy both gravity and the laws of physics. Like, the animators clearly just said “screw it, we’re going maximum booba or we’re going home” and then they forgot to go home. She’s so stupidly hot it’s almost offensive. Like if someone turned the sexy dial past 11, broke it off, then superglued it back on at 47. I’m trying to watch the plot and my eyeballs are just doing that Looney Tunes boing-boing thing every time she moves. Absolute menace. 12/10 weapon of mass seduction. I need to speak to the manager of hotness because this is illegal.
The show itself? Bro it’s so dumb it loops back around to genius. It’s like someone took a fever dr…

I'd almost recommend this anime.
Its sort of like Kill La Kill, same amount of fanservice but less aura farming and less yelling.
It's a very basic, cheesy show. The voice acting, animation, music, writing. Nothing is very good. But also nothing is really awful. You can really feel the budget constraints in some scenes but in others they were definitely putting their best foot forward. The final fight scene in the last episode is legit one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a long time.
If you want fanservice heavy, early 2000s schlock you could do a lot worse than Grenadier.

“Grenadier: The Beautiful Warrior” is what happens when You’ve read “Trigun” and think “Hmm… What if Vash had huge breasts, zero to no drama and didn’t have a crippling donuts addiction?” It’s an anime about an overpowered, blonde bombshell gunslinger with a huge bosom, a pretty useless sword slinging companion and their journey to set the wrongs of the world right.. If You think that is an oversimplification of the anime…
For most of the anime the main cast consists of:
Rushuna Tendou - blonde, busty gunslinger with a soft spot for taking baths. Her weapon of choice is a six-shot revolver but she prefers using it as a last resort, preferring to avoid violence when possible. If she does use her gun, she shots to disable her opponents rather than kill. Something that is seen as weird by ot…

Grenadier is the smutty daughter of Trigun and Rurouni Kenshin. It has the same theme in it (fighting for something, either honor, peace, or ambition) and at the same time it has lots of brainless fan service in the form of nude and action. Although most such shows have only an excuse for a story, this one in particular is occasionally trying to focus on its theme in ways that are somewhat smart.
So the story begins with swordsmen being wiped out by modern weapons. A survivor of them meets a girl who happens to be a master gunner with the title of Grenadier. She is on a quest to clear her name of accusations regarding treason and at the same time doing her job as a defender of the land. So the two of them roam the land, trying to get to the capital and confront the queen who seems to have…

Dear readers,
If you have nothing else to watch at the moment, then you must watch this anime, since it has comedy, some action and ecchi in it.
The story about getting a bounty on your head is something I haven't seen so far, so that is original. It was confusing in the beginning though, because the main characters were saving people and the female main character still got a bounty lol.
The art is old, because it is an anime of 2004, but I still enjoyed it and that fact isn't something to be worried about. The characters were good developed and I also liked it, because they had guns even though it looked like the story was playing in the edo period of Japan lol.
There aren't many soundtracks in this anime, but the ones that were there, were still good enough, because the soundtracks t…

There are times where you see an anime that gets good reviews that you don't necessarily agree with, and feel like they're building it up too much (for me, a prime example is Attack on Titan), where there are others that get called mediocre or even bad that you find yourself liking (I like Tokyo ESP quite a bit). Grenadier fits into the latter for me, I quite enjoy it.
The story, in my opinion, is probably the weakest element. It's mainly just our three heroes travelling across the world and fighting people along the way. There are parts of the story that are quite nice, but for the most part, it's just serviceable, nothing really special or even all that great.
Everything else though is pretty good. The characters for the most part are good. Rushuna, though following the classic anime f…

Boobs, everywhere...
There, thats grenadier in two words, but since i'm such a nice guy and enjoy spending my time writing reviews for free \(*_*)/ I will elaborate a bit for you at home.
This basically follows a super well-endowed ditzy blonde chick as she runs around trying to prevent fighting and violence in general. How does she plan to do this? by stripping them of their armour, which is meant to be taken the dirty way, but after so long the phrase just gets really lame, but yeah thats her plan. To do that she decides that flashing smiles will solve all the problems, guess what, it doesnt. Instead she stops people from fighting by shoving her boobs in their faces, which in my opinion would work far better; if nothing else, it would work on me.
Character wise, shes about it with the…

By no means painful to watch, but more of a time killer than good entertainment. The plot feels a bit contrived as do many of the characters, and some events and decisions seem completely illogical and clearly exist only to force the plot in a given direction; perhaps I blinked at the wrong time but the end moments of Rushuna Tendou's climactic battle left me wondering what in god's name I had just missed. But perhaps you're watching for the ecchi - which is mediocre and, by the time you've seen the same boob-jiggling gag three times in rapid fire succession (pun intended), a bit tiresome. The central theme of 'men are egotistical but lovable children who can and should be kept in line with breasts' is a pretentious bit of 'wisdom,' and a bit irritating if taken out of the context of a gen…

A grenadier by definition was a soldier in around the Napoleonic era that specialized in using grenades, however in anime terms aparently grenadier means "take a concept of a show that was good and add over-the-top fan-service." That good show I'm talking about is of course Trigun, and you will see me use that show as an example a lot during this review because the fact of the matter is that Grenadier is basically a half-assed rule 63 (one of the rules of the internet, "if it exists, there is a female version of it, no exception") version of Trigun. On to the review.
Story 2/10: A skilled guns-woman who is a complete pacifist (sound unfamiliar?) going around with some philosophy that if she's unarmed and smiling then suddenly the whole world will act like everything is sunshine and butter…

Will Grenadier's service with a smile put one on your face?
Grenadier is a manga series by Sosuke Kaise. Halfway through its initial publishing run from 2003 to 2006, it received a twelve episode anime adaption by Group TAC.
It's pretty short, so Grenadier is an easy show to pick up. Whether or not it's worth it is what shall soon be found out.
Visuals:
The artwork in Grenadier is fairly consistent and doesn't show too many quality issues. It's never very detailed, but does have fairly vibrant colors. The majority of detail is devoted to the characters, but only the female characters show some degree of good character design. One character in particular tries too hard to make up for this and has a gigantic zipper to compensate for the designer's lack of creativity. Nearly everyone els…

Grenadier is an anime that most people ought to enjoy seeing once. It isn't a genius work of art or anything, but it is something enjoyable to pass the time with. And at only 12 episodes, it would be a good way to take a break from some long, serious anime you happen to be watching. Cause it's about as light an anime as you can stand, really. While I say that it's almost too lighthearted, it just fits, and it kind of warms you up. You may laugh at or scoff at those sappy moments in life, but more often than not, they still warm you up inside. This is one of those.
First of all, I'd have to tell anyone that will listen to stay away from the dubbed version if they can find it subbed. Outside Wendee Lee as our heroine Rushuna, the other voice actors range from less than inspirational to trul…

On the technical side of things, great care was obviously taken with Rushuna’s massive assets and ensuring quality control on those ba-shook-shooks, but shortcuts are rampant everywhere else. "Oh look, he kinda froze…I guess that means he got shot?" "Explosion? Shake the still frame like a Polaroid picture!" You get the idea. The show never really impresses visually, and more often than not, it repulses with variable character models and halfhearted animation. The character designs themselves are sufficiently memorable, but not terribly unique.
Back to the two main focuses of the budget, they’re ridiculous. No matter how busty you are, those things never narrow to nil at the end and suspend up to one’s armpits no matter what you’re wearing, and what’s with that fake looking shiny spot on…

I've bought the Collector's Box of this anime, watched it in two days, and actually liked it very much. I don't know why has it got such a low score or why is so unpopular, all I have to say is that this anime haves everything you look for in a good anime: decent story, rich characters, action, humor and "echiness".
The theme of the story is based on the the feudal Japan. A very old era where the weapon of choice was the katana, but in this anime there are guns as well, actually the anime itself centres around the use of this guns and specifically in the marksmanship abilities of Tendo Rushuna, the main female character. So being her a female with REALLY big breasts expect a lot of echi shots (lol she reloads her revolver with her real pair of guns) on the action scenes, this will make yo…

I don't know whats wrong with everyone else but don't listen to them. Grenadier is a great anime. The story isn't overly complicated . Which can be a good thing. even though i guess for people who like really in depth stories it didn't appeal to them. The characters are very likable or dislike able if they are a bad guy. The characters generate just the right amount of mystery making you want to know more about them. There is a large amount of ecchi for guys that like to see bouncy boobs and long legs. It can also be a very funny show. there are many parts where i laughed my head off. And through out the whole show it gives off a good moral. "Killing is not necessary to win a battle". Rushina the main character believes in this so strongly That despite having amazing fighting ability she d…

I watched this originally via my University's animé club. The sole reason it was voted for as pitched was based on the idea that "She reloads her gun like this!" [shows clip of bullets flying out from between her breasts] Ok, some of you might be like "sign me up right now!" and some might be like "Oh God that's terrible". Though this is sort of one of the main "recognition" features of this animé, I'd say there's more to it than that.
Don't expect crazy plot depth and ridiculous twists, but as I recall there's enough to it to make it interesting and though relatively predictable if you like to think ahead, there are a couple of surprises. Overall the tone of this is pretty light/cheery though it has a few dark moments as well. Has that sort of cheesy idea of trying to use l…
