There is nothing flawed about this storyline, at all.
GUNGRAVE DUB VS SUB MOVIE
I can think of one real life movie that does this same strategy, but I don't think it would be appropriate to mention. You know where the story is going (you'll know what I mean once you start watching), so you make all sorts of guesses as to when/how the situation will occur, or for what reason. That's part of what makes Gungrave so amazing, the anticipation. We see them change from day to day, we watch their transformations, and we watch it all in suspense, waiting for the climax that we know is sure to happen. True, there is a great deal of plot, but it ALL revolves around Brandon and Harry, and their friendship. Though very based on plot, the story is centered around character development in all forms - mostly with Brandon and Harry. Seem like an odd combination? Perhaps so, but it was flawlessly merged in this case.Īt it's core, Gungrave is an epic journey that two best friends take together, as they enter a new (dangerous) career, and find out what it takes to get to the top. Though it deals with the syndicate very heavily, it also has a sci-fi or supernatural sort of feel.
GUNGRAVE DUB VS SUB SERIES
Without spoiling, I will say that the second half of the series has a very different sort of focus. Although this isn't necessarily a subject I usually enjoy in movies or whatnot, it still managed to be gripping and interesting for this show. This means that a large chunk of the series is based on things like cold blooded murder, illegal activities, and general gangster behavior. The meat of the story is about Millenion, a famous syndicate. We can tell from newspapers and dates that it chronologically begins sometime around the late 1930s, though I don't feel that the buildings, cars, or surroundings would give you the impression of that naturally. Gungrave takes place in an undisclosed town that feels and looks like somewhere in Europe. That being said, my review might sound a bit wishy washy because I am going to try to not spoil at all, so keep that in mind.
Also, I would suggest not reading many (if any) reviews or commentaries on this series, because I think there is a lot that can be spoiled. Read this review with an open mind, and realize that the episodes which follow are VERY, VERY different in plot. Granted, I usually don't base my opinion on a single episode, but there are surely a lot of you out there who have done just that for Gungrave, and know exactly what I'm talking about. StoryLet me just start out by saying that if you have watched one episode of Gungrave and then put it down, thinking it was a ripoff of another well-known series (which I won't name, for spoiling purposes), or just didn't look interesting, think again.
