Gun Psycho Levy...

Never did a crazy babe look so sexy...

Wow, this episode is inexplicably bloody... [ep 6]

We get to see Levi go off the deep end and start shooting for no apparent reason [now that's cool]

We also get insight into a possible relationship between Levi and maybe Rock [at least, I hope so... They'd make cute babies lol]

that could just be my doujin dreams talking to me...

But if you want to see one pissed off Chinese dual-wielding gun-babe totally slaughter a boatload of Nazis, you'll like this ep.

[kinda sad though, the dumbass Nazi's didn't do anything at all to fight back]

I saw that one coming.

As for the Nazis, they're certainly not known for being bright.

x2. Her character seems like a pitbull to me. Dangerous if you're on the wrong side, but fierce beyond comprehension when protecting someone.

I've always been somewhat dissapointed that people tend to think that. While what they did was reprehensible, the fact that there were world class thinkers and strategists as well shouldn't be overlooked. A good deal of the world as we know it was shaped by that conflict, and in a very real way by what we learned from them.

Agreed. And correct me if I'm wrong, but...

Levi = 1/4 Lara Croft, 1/4 Motoko Kusanagi, 1/4 Spike, and more badass than can be described.

QUOTE FTW!

And yes... Levi = Sexy Badass all the way...

Her stories about her past make me wonder if she meant "beat up" by cops as in something else... :cry:

Yeah, dumb but it still almost worked. Look at how many people the Russians lost in the effort to stop them, and toss in the donated American planes on top of all that. Look at the Americans stuck in Bastogne, that was an equivalent equipment issue.

My point wasn't to glorify them. My point was that enemies that are harder to kill, and smarter are more interesting than guys that run out into a hallway and line up to be shot.

Personally, I thought the scene where Levy was jumping from boat to boat wasa lot more badass than this episode. Watching her wander around in a daze wasting bad guys like that quickly got boring. Like playing a game on god mode.

Ok, that makes more sense... At least make her try to work her victory right? ^_^

Just watched ep seven. Now we know why she's called Revy. I guess it's a mutation on her real name.

The coming arc will be a lot of fun, too.
