About

Gunsmith Cats (ガンスミス キャッツ) is a series of manga and anime work by Kenichi Sonoda. The story centers on two young women, 18-year old Irene "Rally" Vincent and her partner, 17-year old "Minnie" May Hopkins.

Rally and May operate the titular "Gunsmith Cats" gunshop in Chicago, Illinois. Rally also works as a bounty hunter, assisted by May, which is the impetus behind many of the stories. Rally characterizes bounty hunting as her "hobby" though it is in fact her main source of income.

Rally is an expert combat shooter and markswoman with just about every firearm in existence, as well as an expert driver. May is an explosives expert, knowing the inner workings of and many uses of all manner of explosive devices.

The anime version of Gunsmith Cats, released 1995 by Kodansha/VAP/Tokyo Broadcasting and a year later in North America by ADV Films, is a separate story from the manga. Was originally released as 3 individual videos, 'Neutral Zone', 'Swing High!' and 'High Speed Edge'.

In 1997 it was compiled as a single movie, 'Bulletproof' and re-released with new packaging. Many major characters, such as Misty Brown and Bean Bandit, do not appear. It was also one of the most researched animes in regards to locale and feel, as the production team made several trips to Chicago.
