Yasuna's
is your typical ditzy 10 year-old who is not the sharpest of the
bunch, but her best friend (self proclaimed) Sonya more than makes up
for it. Sonya is a highly trained foreign assassin, but more often
she finds she want to kill Yasuna for messing with her or using her
skills for trivial games. Often, Yasuna antics and ideas test
Sonya's patience or gets them in trouble and if things weren't
dangerous dangerous enough another one of their classmates is a
Ninja, Agiri, whom Yasuna asks Agiri to show some of her
(questionable) ninja gadgets, skills or tricks. Either way there is
no dull day as school for these girls in Kill Me Baby: Complete
Collection (2012).
All
Yasuna wants to do is play games with Sonya, but what kind of games
can you play with someone when their day job is professional
hitman/woman? Of course, this just ticks off Sonya each time Yasuna
tries to ambushes her or surprise her, often it triggers Sonya's
conditioned reflexes to almost kill Yasuna. While Sonya IS an
assassin, she still is a 10 year-old and it doesn't prevent her from
being scared of ghosts, animals and insects (which Yasuna uses to her
advantage).
If
you like cute killer little lolis, then look no further, there is
always something amusing about when the cute Japanese girls in
pigtails and pulls out a big gun or knife. It is a comical anime, it
makes fun of spies kids (but don't try any of these things at home
kids).
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image transfer is
unfortunately on the very weak side with detail and depth issues
throughout, but the DTS-HD MA
(Master Audio) 2.0 Stereo lossless mixes on each episode is
fortunately very well mixed and presented with warm exceptional Pro
Logic-like surrounds. Extras
include in clean opening and closing animation and trailers.
