It wasn’t a deathly serious series, but it wasn’t mecha, like I thought. It also had good reasons to watch it.
Bear in mind that in that last picture, the “rifle” (really a 20mm cannon) is resting on the hood of a car. Pointed at the driver in fact. Sorta makes the one with a pistol kind of an afterthought, doesn’t it?
…and one of them is wearing glasses, so I guess you’re firing on all cylinders.
Enh, I assumed those were protective goggles. None of them are magical, anyway. Unless you count their ability to come out of ridiculous situations unhurt.
Well, I did sort of forget this one, didn’t I?
