Gunsmith Bitch visual Gunsmith Bitch geek girl form Yoshino Aoyama also shared a comment following the casting: I was still in junior high school when the first series was broadcast. The avant-garde and innovative stimulation of this work really struck me, and I was completely absorbed in watching it. So when the new series was announced, I was just thrilled as a fan. I thought I was lucky just to be able to join an audition, so when I heard that I had passed, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I think it would be great to run through at a speed that keeps you on your toes every second, with one million horsepower…one million varigi. I would appreciate your support!
