Gunslinger Girl
The girl has a mechanical body. However, she is still an adolescent child.
A psychologically dark anime that uses the relationship between a child assassin and her handler to explore exploitation, agency, and the cost of survival.
The Social Welfare Agency saves the lives of terminal patients using cybernetic implants. Then it teaches them to kill. After surviving the slaughter of her family, young Henrietta awakens to her new life at the Agency with a rebuilt body and no memory. Teamed with Jose, who is responsible for turning her into the perfect assassin, Henrietta’s been given a second chance—but at what cost?
