i recommend it especialy for TRigun fans. Yasuhiro Nightow and Tsuneo Imahori worked on it.

I liked it a lot, but the BIG flashback gets you confussed at first.
Because, you watch the first episode and you hope to see that kind of action the whole anime; after then you see the flashback, and you think, "yeah, flashback, nice"...like four episodes after you start guessing that isn't a flashback. And three or four episodes later you don't care if that's a flashback or not XD
But, really, it's a series that really gets you; it has friendship, betrayal, love, mafia and fantastic battle scenes. ^o^

No.

Just no.

I forced myself to watch through the entire series, and it never got good! It only had a few times in it that were interesting, all of which are too spoilery to say.

And really, I just never connected to the characters. Especially not Brandon, nor his situation.

I did however appreciate the childhood memories. That was a nice touch.

But this anime, I dont care how much people praise it; it is below average.

Horrible story telling and awful characters. Made me want to sleep.

Same as you, obviously

Good for you, but this is actually pretty darn mediocre compared to other animes.

At least we got to see a pig fly in the anime. Woot? (referring to the video game episodes at the end)

The anime was silly and boring. It tried to be deep and profound but it just failed.

Only decent character was Harry but even he they couldn't keep interesting for longer amounts of time.

fine, fine...now drift away...nobody wants you here

@Dark Seraphim: I'm glad for you. Mine was Trigun and the characters there.
Can't wait for the next project of Nightow&Imahori

It was a good flashback, not like the LOST. That whole series should be called FLASHBACK. In Gungrave it's been done, now let go finish off the bastards

Sheesh. How narrowminded >.> Why cant I state my opinon if you can state yours?

Just because I don't like it, my thoughts are worth less? O.o

Way to be mature.

And you so obviously win the internet.

And really, comparing LOST to Gungrave in form of flashbacks;
half the series in Gungrave ARE flashbacks, and half the eps in LOST *are* flashbacks.
You're just screwing yourself over with such a statement imo
