Gun x Sword
On TV Tokyo
A stylized mecha-western following a grief-driven loner's revenge quest across a surreal, apocalyptic landscape, balancing action spectacle with melancholic character study.
There’s a claw-fisted, genocidal maniac terrorizing the planet of endless illusion, and only Van, a tight-lipped loner in a jet black tuxedo, can bring the scoundrel to justice. Armed with his shape-shifting sword and a mechanized suit of armor, Van hunts the villain who murdered his one true love. With any luck, he’ll find the man he seeks before the sun sets on civilization.
