10/10
interesting story, awesome ending
28 April 2014
I really enjoyed this anime series, it did a good job of keeping you interested about the story and it's characters. To be clear it wasn't anything I expected though, considering it was created by the same group that made Tri-Gun. Tri-Gun was good, but wasn't great, this on the other hand successfully fixed all of the problems trigun had and if you watched trigun before watching this series they won't even seem vaguely similar. One of the most interesting thing that Gungrave does is tackle multiple characters by presenting them all as good guys, so it's up to the audience to decide which side they support and who they are interested in. There are a few clichés but nothing that makes the series boring or seem uninteresting. The pacing is actually quite nice as well. In each episode something that progresses the story is happening and is concluding. With that being said you have to start with the first or second episode to fully enjoy the story. If you miss an episode, you might want to wait until you see it until moving to the next. Character development is this anime's strongest point though. As said before it presents all characters as good guys in their own way. The ending however is the best I have ever seen. No cliffhangers either. Because of the character development and watching the characters grow seeing the ending end the way it does is heart breaking. The hardest part about writing a review for gungrave would be not adding in any spoilers. There's so many interesting topics to debate with this show.
