Lycoris Recoil

Young orphaned girls with no normal future awaiting them ✔, taken in and trained by the government to work as incognito gun slinging assassins ✔, employed under secret government agencies to do the dirty work of eliminating criminals and terrorists ✔.
Anybody looking for such a rare and specific premise like this will be served well by watching these two titles. When it comes to girls with guns, GSG is a more serious classic set in Italy, while LycoReco is a more light-hearted 21st Century take set in Japan.
Girls with guns. Action. Competent gunplay. Need I say more?
- Both have hidden weapons in mundane carrying cases (music cases, school bags)
- Both work for seedy government organizations
- Both fight with guns
- Both have children fight with guns and in dangerous situations
- Both have characters who, though human, have an advanced technology that has helped keep them alive.
Both have cute girls working as hitmen for a secret government organization, although LycoReco is more lighthearted
Both Series are Girls trained to fight the enemies of a Secret Organization. Though LycoReco has more humour and GsG is more serious and dark
Both are about orphaned girls working since a young age as assassins working under a secret organization that fights against terrorism. While Gunslinger Girl is a very serious and gritty drama, Lycoris Recoil is a lot more moe and light hearted.

Both about gunslinging girls, Lycoris Recoil is more cheerful, less lethal. Similar feeling when wathing, few times had a feeling those are a part of the series.
