History YMMV / GunsmithCats

* CompleteMonster: Natasha "[[PsychoKnifeNut Bloody Pierce]]" Radinov, from the {{OVA}}, is a vicious ex-Spetsnaz who makes her living as an [[ProfessionalKiller assassin]] and [[PsychoForHire mercenary]], who only accepts payment in heroin so she can sell it for higher prices in Russia. Introducing herself in a routine murder, Radinov accepts a hit for a gunrunner. Radinov proceeds to storm a police safe house, [[CopKiller massacring every officer inside]] before killing her target. Later kidnapping the heroine Rally Vincent's partner Minnie May, Radinov forms a deeply personal grudge when Rally manages to injure her. Killing several innocent civilians who were just in a spot she wanted to relax in, Radinov sadistically kills one of her employers when the operation's chief judges him a loose end. When the chief, mayoral candidate Eddie Haints, tries to lure Rally into a trap for Radinov, Radinov simply sprays the area with machine gun fire, not caring if she kills Haints as well while killing several of his guards. When pursued by Rally, Radinov kills several more innocent people in her way and expresses her wish to torment Rally slowly to death, gloating she'll show the young BountyHunter "all she knows about pain."

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The series clearly happens in TheNineties, not only cause the fashions and hairstyles, and the ex-Soviet villain... but also because the animation recreated Chicago with incredible accuracy, to the point many Chicago fans of the series can identify the specific time-period the anime was made by certain key features, most notably the construction scaffolding that surrounded the Museum of Science and Industry during that building's renovation.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Many fans do not like ''Burst'' for how unnecessarily cynical it gets and its DownerEnding.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Not much the total plot of the manga (although the immense competency of a lot of the foes Rally has to deal with can be rather anger-inducing), but the final arc of Burst (and the VetinariJobSecurity HandWave regarding Goldie on top of, you know, [[spoiler: Rally retiring from bounty hunting]]) ''definitely'' triggers this.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: The production actually sent its entire animation studio to Chicago to make sure they got the setting right, and instead of using [[BangBangBANG stock gun noises]] they used recordings of each gun being used that they made themselves.

** Goldie Musou. A Mafia Princess that becomes a big-shot [[spoiler:eventually taking over the Illinois (if not the entire Midwest's) underground]] through killing everything and everybody that resists her and creating a "perfect" drug (that somehow can replicate different types of drugs depending on the dosage, is very hard to overdose from... and unknown to everybody who takes it, is capable of allowing ''perfect'' brainwashing), she is a PsychoLesbian that brainwashes her "pets" (and other people she deems important to her empire) into killing everything they love and be forced to stay drugged-up submissive puppets (which she abuses willy-nilly) rather than deal with the horrifying amounts of despair.

* MoralEventHorizon: Goldie seems to cross a new one with every appearance. Bonnie practically ''leaps across it'' in her first scene just in case you had any doubts that she was AxeCrazy.
* VillainSue: Goldie Musou. Starting with being incredibly competent and DangerouslyGenreSavvy, followed by having the knowledge to produce a perfect drug-slash-brainwashing method (and with a love for creating a situation for her brainwashed subjects that is so far beyond the DespairEventHorizon that they willingly prefer to ''stay'' brainwashed), and both surviving being shot ''point-blank in the face'' with little to show for it but two small scars and a bout of EasyAmnesia ''and'' walking away into the sunset at the end of ''Burst'' with Misty (which may or may not have been brainwashed) ''and having become the leader of the Chicago underworld'' (with only a VetinariJobSecurity HandWave to explain the necessity of it to Rally-who walks away from the same arc ''a cripple'').

** Radinov. Full stop.
