[Gungrave] I finished watching Gungrave, which was recommended to me before. I only knew about it from images, so I’m in tears and can’t put my feelings into words.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

i

ma

to

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It’s a masterpiece and an incredible song…

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The man’s story.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s go, Brandon!

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Sorry for starting the thread, Anonymous.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>5

It’s fine, really.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Because we didn’t put into words that it was for each other…!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still keep something like a guidebook or collection of materials for anime.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought there would be a BD-BOX released for the anniversary, but that didn’t happen…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I will never forget how everyone called out Brandon and Harry’s names at the end.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The anime that is still etched in my brain and won’t leave me.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Honestly, I thought it was going to be a fantasy series in episodes 1 and 2, but then when the past arc started, it was different from what I imagined!

Well, no matter how you look at it, this is a painful ending… The more the story progresses, the more it goes in that bad direction…

Throughout, I feel like saying “stop messing around!!!” to the main characters!

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

I can’t shoot you… it’s not possible…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

I’m sorry… I’m sorry…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

It’s such a perfect performance…

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s really confusing when you know both anime and games.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I love it all, but the last two episodes are seriously amazing…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Harry’s dream was really tough, wasn’t it…?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

When I looked in the mirror, my face was…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Big Daddy is to blame for everything.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>18

It was my favorite character.

I took in a child raised by a friend.

I was able to have someone like a trustworthy son.

On top of that, I thought it was ridiculous to love the person I care about and their child, but when I consider my daughter’s honesty, I realize that this old man has lived sincerely as well…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s nice to see color return to ED…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s sad that Harry has forgotten the names of his old friends.

I forgot too, sorry Bunji.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>22

I’m not forgetting that, you know!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

There was an explanation that it’s not that I’ve forgotten about that.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

Is that so?

Sorry, Bunji.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s watch Once Upon a Time in America too!

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

It’s a masterpiece, but as expected for an older work, the ethical views of the main characters are quite troubling!

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

× I’m forgetting.

I was too busy to come right out.

Is that so?

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>26

Indeed.

I was extremely busy and extremely tired.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was it Ellie?

The existence of the heroine that I thought was unnecessary.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shidgaralde’s performance is too good.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do we need zombie elements?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

If my favorite couple is taken by an old man, I’ll have no choice but to kill.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

That stupid son’s episode is incredible, isn’t it…?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

You should take a look.

Once Upon a Time in America

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Naito Taihiro’s element subtly holds back!

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s go, Brandon.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s an anime where I thought at first (Is it some kind of poorly animated battle between non-human characters…? Hmm…) but then ended up watching it with a face like Kyogoku-san after eating a decent sweetfish.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the part where I get lost in memories of my younger days and then see my current self in the mirror and go “Whoa!” too much.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love scenes where people eat sushi heartily…

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Blardawn!

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

I really loved that scene and imitated it for a while.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the way the last diner scene is portrayed.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Everyone’s favorite elevator scene

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

Even with the same situation, it’s completely different between the game and the anime.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish more anime like this would come out…

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The hardest part was when my former boss and colleagues who hid Brandon and Mika got taken out by Lee.

It was an obvious development, but I still wonder why…

I was surprised that this kind of work usually progresses the story while looking back at the past, but it suddenly delved deeply into the past and then piled on in the main story.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

That senior who shoots without hesitation over there is cool, isn’t he?

I was powerless against Superior…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

The time we worked together was short, but we were a great team, and you even came to visit the grave.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know about games, but that’s precisely why it was too potent for me at the time.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The original work is a thrilling action game where everything is blown to pieces with a massive amount of gunfire, so it makes you wonder even more… why?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

And those game original elements subtly hold the anime back…!

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

More than half of it is the past story, isn’t it…?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry, but I only drink whiskey.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews
60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t this anime’s past arc about 2/3 of the story?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are still people who are trapped by this anime.

Me too.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the game, I wonder how many times Bunji has revived, you know?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Eddie…!

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I don’t usually recommend enduring until the end, but for this work, I make an exception.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine, really.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s interesting, but I was expecting a stylish battle…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the game, Grave is pumped up, spinning a coffin to his upbeat theme song and unleashing special moves as he takes down his past comrades in a bloodbath to protect the daughter left behind by the woman he loved…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like OD Grave was heavily influenced by anime Grave wanting to pat Mika’s head a lot.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the quiet opening with shells and gunpowder swirling.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

They’re expanding into various media beyond games, huh…

I’m tired today, so I’ll catch up on it later, but it was really a great piece of work…

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s not good when former colleagues go in a negative direction…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

But it’s just as painfully difficult not to change like Bunchi… that organization…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

You imitate running at an angle.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Harry was crying his eyes out in his dream when he called Bear ‘Dad.’

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>76

It’s nice to see that the Harry couple was actually quite a lovey-dovey couple.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although they worked hard on the Bunchi battle, I felt an overall fatigue in the animation during the action scenes.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

If I think of it as a result of reallocating resources when needed, it doesn’t feel so bad.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s a battle with zero elements of losing if it turns into a prolonged fight, but I really like that Bunchi switches to quick shooting.

This guy might be the most pitiful of them all.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t have many opportunities to show it, but I like Brandon’s all-back interior mafia style.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I pretended to climb to the top, but I really did love you properly, Harry…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

†Beyond the Grave†

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>83

Almost no one calls me by this name.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

Is it being influenced by the doctor’s sense?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

But the Kuzu group is lame, bro!

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bunji is a man who, in a sense, is the strongest because he followed his beliefs and trusted one person without being influenced by the organization.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

What I remember is the blue sky.

What I remember is the shining clouds.

What I remember is

It’s incredibly impressive and I still remember it in its true sense.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the game, I was surprised to see Sherry appear as an enemy.

I feel like it was 2.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Brandon… No, Beyond the Grave…!

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>91

What?

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Bunji had become the kind of guy who immediately shoots anyone he dislikes, which is quite concerning.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

It’s really tough that everyone has become a living shame due to the combined effects of mental disorders caused by transformation and degradation from pure aging.

Rather, there’s more salvation in a zombie without will.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t shoot you… It’s just that reaching the truth is incredibly tragic.

Even though we understood each other so well…

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>39

I love this sort of thing!!!!!!!!!!

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

Yeah

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The direction where everything can be inferred just from the ED returning to color is something everyone should imitate.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice to watch the last highlight video on Christmas.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can’t help but see how rough the organization has become since Harry took over.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

It’s only natural since they were doing whatever they wanted using monsters.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shelley…

Yes… Father-in-law…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ultimately, it is cruel that Augman can be confronted normally.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

What the hell is that center head of Cerberus?

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Just that

Big Daddy is really the worst.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t Brandon Punch able to do something about it?

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a work that was conscious of Kenji Hamada.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

Keni Hamada and Tsutomu Isobe shine brightly within me.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

“I can’t possibly shoot you… was one of the few performances in my voice acting life that I could praise myself for getting it right in one take, as Satoshi Hino talked about on the radio.”

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>106

It’s okay to talk and too much to brag.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just chatting for a bit, and seeing how easily Bunji pulls the trigger makes me think that all of Brandon’s subordinates have probably already been killed.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bad ending, but because there’s a glimmer of hope at the end, it also seems like a happy ending in a way.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re great!

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it time to remake the game?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really tough to see Harry breaking down, and when I talked about visiting the grave, he just responded with a “Yeah…” and that moment made me feel a lot.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

The negative effects of surviving either by augmenting binge eating or by stopping it and letting myself die are really coming out.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When young Harry washed his hands in the bathroom and suddenly looked in the mirror, the transition to his current self was so sharp and perfect.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a sad scene that even Mika, the last stronghold, is being called Brandon, but I couldn’t help but laugh a little.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s a work that shows what happens when you don’t say anything just because you’re on good terms.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

I thought the same thing in Shigurui too.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shall we go after a long time?

Visiting the grave… with Toshiaki and the others.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>122

Toshiaki…?

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t hustle at your age!

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why are these guys so clumsy…?

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why did you send the treasurer first?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Necrolize requires a specialized device to perform regular full-body blood replacement, so it would stop functioning once Dr. Tokioka, who was handling that work, was killed. At that point, it was checkmate.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

But you know… it’s freedom.

In the scene where Harry says that everything he wished for was right here… it really makes me sad.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I still sometimes dream of a future where Brandon and Maria are properly together…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

The conversation isn’t starting!

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>132

It shouldn’t start…!

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>130

Harry’s response

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

Harry’s response

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you can kill with an aug, then any kind of activity will make discipline disappear in an instant.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doctor Tapioca stubbornly says “Grave.”

No one else is saying it.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>134

In the first place, it’s the kind of sense that someone would leave the organization and give themselves a fake name like Dr. T.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked this line that was cut, “I liked this discomfort,” even though it was a deleted line; I think it represents Brandon’s character.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I’m a voice actor, it seems that it’s quite rare for my performances to be approved on the first take, which leaves an impression.

By the way, Koyasu got all his performances in Bobobo first take, so I mistakenly thought I was at the peak of my voice acting career.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>136

Nobody knows the correct answer, you know.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dr. Tokioka and Butler Tokioka are brothers, huh?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice that Brandon is the only one who realized that their paths had diverged significantly the moment he forgot about his past comrades, even if just for a moment…

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The overseas version of the Blu-ray has been in color ED all along.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s strange that it ends so beautifully despite being this painful!!!

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a late-night anime, but the voice cast is incredibly luxurious, isn’t it?

It’s only because of the times.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

The anime feels like a brand, and the game feels like a grave story.

In a game, they shoot so easily that I can’t believe they are the same person.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>145

Grave has a significant side as the absolute “I will never allow anyone to threaten Mika” man…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

I often see foreigners with their brains fried.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is this ending?

The golden age, huh…

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s such a pain to equip, so let’s just keep breaking it and make it a scene where we go back from the grave to Brandon!

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

The compression of the artwork and the story are synchronized, it’s amazing…

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I thought Yosuke Kuroda was amazing.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though Yasuhiro Naito kindly drew a simplified costume for the anime…

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I thought I would turn this into a manga after Trigun ended…

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

What, you wanted me to die, right?

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I promised, didn’t I… that I would someday build a magnificent grave for you.

If you want, you can buy this cemetery altogether.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the scene where Brandon shoots Harry with a gun, but they end up laughing together after running out of bullets.

Brandon has a sense of his remaining ammo, and the subtitle of the previous episode being LAST BULLET is a clever play on words and is the best.

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I love how the aesthetics of the gangster genre are packed in so much that it drives me crazy.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>161

It’s almost like an anime version of The Godfather…

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey everyone! Don’t misunderstand that just because we’re best friends, you can know everything without me saying anything!

163: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have a feeling of wondering where I went wrong, and at the same time, the feeling that there was no other way given Harry’s ambition to rise endlessly.

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even looking back at it now, the amount of fun packed into it is truly amazing.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, the game has aliens involved and the settings are quite different from the anime.

166: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It was too potent for me when I was a high school student.

What is this awkward first episode… Huh, a sudden flashback episode?!

How much more is there to do? We’ve reached episode 14… We’re back in the present!

My past friends are going through something terrible…

Now!

167: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Click

…Haha

Hahaha

Ah hahaha

Let’s go, Brandon.

Ah

I cried.

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>167

Is this where it becomes a colored ED?

179: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>173

I finally realize that I’ve returned to those days.

Crying again.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

In episode 2, the older brother suddenly reminds us of how scary the mafia is, it’s intense.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking, what a year it was, since the show that followed this one was MADLAX!

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>170

MADLAX is also Yoshisuke Kuroda…

182: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>176

I used to see Kuroda Yosuke everywhere back then…

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>182

The person said they thought they would die from overwork in the past few years.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>182

I thought it was a joint signature from multiple people because I see it so often.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the episode with the elevator will be the first and last time I experience the feeling of suffocation while watching anime.

I should have seen hundreds of them since then.

172: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Even if I say I want to do this now, I probably won’t get the project approved…

To be honest, I thought Gundam would do this with Orphans.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

There was a time when I thought that in the end, Olga and Mika would be at odds with each other.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was honestly taken aback when Big Daddy actually liked this kid…

I couldn’t understand what you were saying, so I rewound it.

198: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>174

Although it’s for the sake of fitting with the game

What is this guy saying to a woman who is about the same age as his adult daughter…?

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s nice that all of Brand’s superiors have retired and are living their old age.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many anime where the first episode is the most interesting.

There aren’t many animes where everything after episode 1 is kind of weak, but then becomes really interesting.

180: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>178

But the stories about Lee’s brother aren’t really interesting…

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even in Iron-Blooded, there was Mika…

183: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When I realized that Harry and the others, back in their young days, had no money and were just pathetic punks, but that it was the best time because they were having so much fun with their friends…

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

I gained strength by seeking more and more! But it’s sad that I’ve lost what I originally had.

In reality, everyone wanted to go up together…

191: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>183

But he was a powerless kid, so he had no choice but to lose… that’s why Harry is always trying to go up and up.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what the original feel of the Blood War arc is…

187: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>185

It’s really because it’s an original anime…

197: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>187

No, the past arc is all original content except for the elevator!

Among them, it feels somewhat like an original anime, doesn’t it?

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>197

It’s the same as the original…

210: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>185

A character that anyone can see was designed by Taihiro Naito, who is probably also featured in a game.

Is this an anime original?! With such a strong character?!

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what Naito thought when he saw this.

I’ve completely lost my own elements, though.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>186

Didn’t we have an endless screening of episode one together with Kuroda?

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>186

I feel like they were having a really fun conversation.

192: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m sorry, Brandon! The crying that follows sounds like laughter, and the acting is just amazing.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice how there was nothing they could do when the opponent pulled out a handgun in episode 2.

Ah, so you’re just a mere small-time punk…

195: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s great that the meaning of the first episode, which was hard to understand, becomes clear.

207: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>195

It’s nice to have another episode in episode 15.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sense of impermanence is amazing, considering that even Rad, who brought death and terror to a level that changed the world for punks like Harry and Brandon, is ultimately just a punk and insignificant to real mafias.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>196

So you understand that Millenion is way too amazing, right?

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

If a work like this comes out from that game, then it’s bound to be enjoyable.

I had fun too.

200: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I’m sorry, Brandon! I’m really sorry…

The performance is wonderful because you can’t tell whether they are crying or laughing.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think I liked this, and since then I’ve generally started to follow Kuroda’s scripts for TV anime.

208: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>202

Well then, this bottled fairy…

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rising through the mafia, just when the story seems to drag on.

The flow from the sudden development with the appearance of the creature-transforming drug to the present has been outstanding.

205: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please stop at the last point.

These guys were bad, but they weren’t evil, right? I was crying.

206: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, in the game, she was a prostitute named Maria and a customer of Big Daddy…

209: Japan Otaku Reviews

After watching, let’s talk and then go to sleep right away.

The only way to process my feelings after finishing watching Gungrave is to sleep.

The source is me.
