While there is more than enough action in this anime series for it to live up to its title, it is the depth of the stories being told that make it worth watching. The story of a government agency that takes dying young girls and turns them into cyborg assassins is creepy, but it pales when compared to the emotional journey each of the young girls takes as her human side starts to regain consciousness. They still want to kill when their handler commands them, but when they stat wanting to be loved in exchange for their efforts things really start to get intense.
