sorry there's not enough you to rate it down on tv.com or youtube


well the majority agrees that it's underrated.

Geez, stop being so defensive >.> How about you just say what is so darn good about the series to want to you keep watching it? You contribute very little to this discussion

These are you.tube link, so just rename booch.sack to you-know what. They lead to Gungrave AMV's.

So. Here's my argument. I rest in piece :)




How would you go for the one you love. To love is to protect. To protect is to never betray. We've seen so many anime with guys that have ultimate power and kick ass throuout the series. Beyond the Grave is one. If he would be one hero like that, it would be really cool, but i'm glad that author decided for the deep minded way. Anyway if you search for the action, go play the PS2 games of this, cause the anime was made on the PS2 game as a foundation. So there's no point in arguing why the anime is halfway a flashback, cause the author just decided to deep the story by showing us the background of the whole picture. Returning us the missing piece that is needed to make the chain strong. And that's why you can't crush our faith in Gungrave. But I never played the game. Because I love the series, i'll enjoy the playing no matter what cause that's how much i believe in Gungrave. Because the maker and composer of Trigun are present here, maybe I'm blinded by that, that i love theanime so blindlessly.

It just starts kinda slow though but it's ending is unbelievable. It's underrated, but in my opinion one of the better. The reason why is it so popular: Friends have been showing it to their friend and they started drooling.
The show is great not for its action, even though it was great, but for its plot and for the superb way it showed the development of the characters. I loved the way that watching the first episode did leave me baffled and asking a lot of questions, and the fact that they were able to round everything together in just 26 episodes is truly amazing. Very compelling characters. Influential in character ties and developement. Don't you think it's cruel to Brandon to regain his memory every time he sees or hears someone is dead, that he cared for, from his past. And to regain his indentity he must die. Isn't there an irony of the Iron Law present here. No, he didn't betray. That what the other side of the medal is saying to us. The only downside to this one is the poor action(i love it) and some absurd consempts (i.e. mutanations, resurections,) that seem out of place in a drama. Overall a satifying experience. In the intro you can see all those one liners and quote from various movies i think. They're too complex, so deep and confusing that I'm glad Brandon is staying silent all the time. In the end the story comes to a full circle. I don't wanna spoil it.
Oh and Brandon wins 8:5 you know.

I see that there is different points of views on Gungrave and it's interpreted as either a good series or a bad series. Whether or not it's good or bad, it depends on a person's opinion. We all don't have to like the same thing because our "tastes" differ from one another. Someone might like love stories even though someone else likes mystery novels. Someone might think Dragonball Z is better than Yu Yu Hakusho, but someone might think of the opposite. Not everybody will accept the same thing especially in a large population. So, no matter what, anybody can have an opinion about a movie, cartoon, anime, etc... They'll either love it or hate it.

I'm not trying to put anybody down for their own opinion, but just clearing it up a bit that's all. Besides, If you love it, continue loving it, but if you don't like it, move on to something else that will hopefully satisfy your 'tastes'.

I'll get the chance to watch it after I take care of christmas gifts, lists, and etc...

In my opinion,Gungrave has two key points that make it score high in my favorite anime list:
- Mafia
- Trust and Betrayal

Add to this a badass character like Brandon and you get the picture. :D

I'm sure most of you heard this by now.

This might have potential. I don't know if they can fit the mafia and revenge arc in 1 movie but who knows. We'll see.

If you want a good sci-fi mafia themed story with some cool gun action scenes, then get this. If you watched Trigun before, there are some subtle references to it, since both Trigun and Gungrave are created by Yashuiro Nightow and produced by Madhouse studios.
