| Dang, that was really good! I'm happy I stuck with the show, the first episode with the glass like orgmen threw me off just a bit, but the route the show took after starting in the past brought me to a point where I actually think it was pretty cool. The action, camerawork, and story were excellently done; leaving one hell of a ride! |

| Well, that quite a finale. I have mixed feelings about this finale and the show as a whole. The finale just wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be but I'd be lying if I said it didn't leave an impression. As a whole, this show has its ups and downs but after a while it becomes mostly down. I didn't mind the Necrolyze when it was introduced but the series handled its execution pretty poorly. The characters were probably the high point of this series. 6/10. |
| My 84th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it an 8/10 rating. |
| it started out better than trigun anime version (more relevant character development of characters) and turned out worser than trigun towards the end (entire present part 8 episode or so turned not so good). but ending was decent, though it am not a big fan of ambiguous ending. it was pretty obvious what happened there, i am not sure why they needed a ambiguous ending there. artistic choice maybe....well, seeing mika go crazy at the end was funny. anyways, other cons include -fight scenes were bad (there was no action choreography...it was just villans trashing brandon untill he has flashback and then he somehow become powerful and defeat them) - lot of age difference romance....normally i dont have a problem with such thing. But u know there is a guy named "big daddy" and he was character developed into suger daddy of main character's lover. ofcourse others are not better, but still....."big daddy". why would there come up with such name....sigh -female character were not good especially mika. I know its a mafia story trying to add realism, but good doesn't really mean strong. Also mika's repeated dialogues were so irritating. overall, its still better than 91 days (another mafia anime) both story and ending wise. it a 7/10 for me. this was my last one out of Yasuhiro Nightow anime adaptation. so Kekkai Sensen (both season)>Trigun: Badlands Rumble> Trigun anime version = gungrave |

| This show turned to shit after the timeskip. All of the characterization that took place between the first and eighteenth episode flew out of the window after Brandon's death. Harry was a shell of his former self in those final 6 episodes, Brandon's undead version remained pretty much unexplored and the presence of Mika brought very little to the table. It's tragic because I actually felt overwhelmed on multuple occasions during the show's first three episodes. I didn't care much for the sloppy introduction of necrolyze because the character arcs were handled excellently for the most, but once that stopped, the show became overruled by its weaknesses. What could've been a 9/10 became a 6/10 in less then 7 episodes. |
| Even though I can't forgive Harry killing Maria I am kinda glad that Bradon did not kill him in anger and they still confess their friendship. But what I really really wished for is that Maria survived and her and Brandon might get a second chance. That would have been a perfect ending as imo Brandon really would deserve to be happy!! But on the other hand if he can protect Mika and Harry from now on I guess he'll be happy too in the game continuation he still protects her and this is what he wants the most So as the anime ending is open imo he is not "dead" or maybe Mika reawakened him after she needs his help again Is there anyone playing the new game or plans to buy it? I mean gungrave gore I would be really happy if someone could tell me how the story is going further ^^ |

| What an incredible ending to be honest, Harry and Brandon's character development couldn't end better... absolutely loved the series overall |
 |
| What a good way to finish this beautiful anime. Friendship and the family are all that matters most in this cruel world. I was so upset for brandon with each kill he got. That must hurt after all the time he spent with them. He had no choice but kill them all even if they were his friends T_T |
| underatted show 8.5/10, my bro Brandon deserve better.. i should have watched this long time ago but decided to wait to play the games first, beat both gungrave games on ps2 months ago but after finished the anime, i realized that you can watch anime without play the game lol (do both if you can) |
| Harry practically spoke for me in this episode. Everything from calling out Big Daddy's hypocritical bullshit preaching, to his utter confusion at Brandon's bipolar behaviour was bang on the money. It's as if he suddenly developed into a nuanced, realistic character in the final two episodes. If he pointed out the flaws in Big Daddy's philosophy towards the Millennion earlier, then his coup and subsequent downfall would've been much more poignant, and perhaps even sympathetic. Not sure if Grave survived or not. Mika's lines wouldn't make much sense if he died, and considering the gun Harry is using was out of ammo earlier and pointed at Grave's chest, he might live. Guess it's just an ambiguous ending. The video game has a sequel that continues (with Grave surviving) from what is essentially this same scene, for what it's worth. This anime is fantastic. It had extensive characterisation and developments that grab your attention if you ever dare to think there haven't been any. It also nails how tragically pointless the environment of organised crime can be. Unfortunately, the retarded protagonist and redundant narrative time hopping does bring it down. The villains are oddly stereotypical once they properly turned into antagonists too, as if they all collectively went insane overnight. Harry eventually got some depth to him, but only in the last two episodes. I also can't take the writing seriously when it tries to insinuate that Big Daddy was some sort of messianic figure everyone loves, when he was just another scummy mob boss in the end. |

| This anime was quite the ride. I really loved the ed, especially the way it slapped during these last few episodes and got me in the feels. |
  The Immortal Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings; The Sky Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings; The Exalted Thearch of Heaven and Earth for Blessings; The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. |
| What the hell! What the hell people! What happened? Did they shoot each other, because I remember these guns are empty. Did they just perish on their own and die while hugging each other? Shouldn't Brandon's body disappear after he dies? What the hell! Also, one proof Harry was a scumbag. After all of this, Brandon said he still wasn't able to shoot him. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Started good, fell off in the middle, bounced back at the end, im pleasently surprised, even if I would've changed some things. 8/10 |
 |
| I cried at the end. |
| Really going for the heart-strings on that last episode, huh? Not exactly a faithful adaptation of how the game ended, but I guess it's alright. Still, this show... kinda sucked. I think if the episode count had been cut in half, so they'd have more budget to allocate to better action scenes, and significantly less filler, it could've been pretty great. As is, it's just sort of tedious. 5/10 I also don't like how they sanitized Harry. They made no mention of how he was turning Millenion into a bunch of drug pushers. Probably because they wanted their sappy ending, and it's pretty much impossible to sympathize with a drug dealer. |

| God, this show just got worse and worse as the episodes went on lol, this whole Harry and Brandon relationship felt like some BL fanfic garbage right to the end. 5/10. |
| Quite Possibly the best adaptation of a video game into an Anime series! |
