Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
musicbefit OK, I don't know if this will be a super long review but bear with me. The plot jumps around but if you have a WILD imagination like me than you'll love it even more than the average viewer. Gungrave is about Brandon Heat, a man that grows up in a small group of friends, a gang you might call it. He meets Maria, a blonde girl with a loving father who does not like anyone in their friend group. Brandon protects Maria as she is his love interest. His best friend, Harry Mcdowell is going into a far bigger industry of crime. He wishes to take over. I won't spoil it but this anime doesn't force you to hate the bad guys, like Star Wars made you hate the "Sith". I didn't like that so I LOVED this anime. 10/10 I RECOMMEND!
sonszak All I can say is wow!!! This show was great and I was just so moved by the film and all of its characters. I am normally not a big fan of anime and their shows but this show has one of the most powerful if not the most powerful story lines I have ever seen or read. The mafia story is terrific and Brandon's character is just simply amazing. Also Harry's ambition to be at the top is just so realistic. The way his character morphs from some ambitious punk that just wants to be king of the streets to being one of the most powerful and well respected men in the world. The setting is phenomenal and the emotional death scenes are so touching that they almost bought to tears after each time that I watched them. This series is one of the best that I, and many of my friends, have ever seen. I recommend this to anyone who can get past the fact it is animated and take the story into account and realize that not all cartoons are just meant for children.
bbcqta1 although i came across many animations but the moment i watched this animation it somehow felt very real and indeed the truth about life has been revealed in this animation.Man i cant even think of something else but of gun grave.A Real TRAGEDY of life.truly a real one and the worst one i have ever seen in my entire life.i pay gratitude to the director and to all the group who made it.they really are great. i hope they make many other animations in the future which are not so tragic but are about the same caliber.the action and the protagonist should be the same type but the slope of tragedy must less steeper.well the only thing that i want to say to the directors is to do their best in making such animes in the future also.
GunGriever Let me begin by saying, this anime not only defines the art and style of the anime world. But also defines what true anime masterpieces stand for.The story begins with Brandon Heat and Harry Mcdowell. Two teenage punks who are always up to no good. Such as getting into fights, stealing and conning others. Their life was already set for them, thought by Harry. Harry was the ladies man and Brandon had his eyes on a beautiful short-haired blond named Maria. Even though love was tumbling around their young minds, both of them were still doing their wreckless lifestyle. During an alley fight that broke in pandemonium, Harry and Brandons gang showed what that they were truly made of.Proud and Motivated, Harry and the others decided to go back to their hangout pad which already had food prepared for them by their friend Joylce. With laughs thrown in the air, heavy drinking and drunk conversations that took hours of enjoy. Harry's gang did not know what they got themselves into.During the ally fight, the gang that was defeated by Harry's Crew, was involved in the Mafia. Rage, Anger and total annihilation went trough the defeated gang leaders mind. He sought out help and forgiveness from others since his gang was already disgraced from the Mafia.Harry's crew one night decided to return a Treasured Jewelry that represented equal value to the owner, but haggled for decent pricings. Confident and Cocky harry tried persuading the women, But ended up getting him and his crew beatup. They returned back bloody and bruised but still laughed from all experience they all went through. Limping and laughing the crew almost smelled their friend joycle cooking. As soon as they opened the door, they found something that not only engulfed their mind with anger but brought tears to their eyes.The gang not only got themselves involved with something big but would change Brandon And Harry's life forever.**.........[ - ]...........** This anime is a combination of gangster genres such as the godfather, sopranos etc. And a combination of Sci-Fi and modern living. It's beautiful when they combined these elements cuz when u watch it, it doesn't look futuristic, it doesn't look old, it just makes u relate to what kind of world they are living in. When watching Trigun and Gungrave, director Yasuhiro Nightow, not only created worlds that gives audiences an Aww amazement base, but wants u to be living in that world the he creates in his head.The one thing I love about Gungrave is the characters. The characters are so emotionally realistic, the way each characters have their own style and feel to them. U get attached to each single character because they represent themselves to make u believing they are that person. Yasuhiro Nightow not only does an excellent job portraying the characters, but gives each one a personality that u can relate to. Other animes always have ur typical Serious Guy, Funny Guy, Quiet guy etc. To me, animes like that gets pretty boring because u know u already expect that out of each character. For example "Naruto" that list I wrote down have all that in that show. And it gets pretty boring.In Conclusion, If u want an anime that gives u an endless impression. Watch this, because this is what Anime is all about. Like I said And I'll say it again "An Anime Masterpiece Of Our Generation." Thank You.
