gungrave on DVD

Postby Lynx » Mon Jul 26, 2004 12:59 pm

today when i was making my almost daily trip to wal-mart, i saw gungrave volume 1 on DVD. my local wal-mart has very very little anime, so i was suprized to see it there. i was wondering if it's worth picking up... anybody know?

I don't know, but a couple days ago, I was at Walmart and I saw a boxset of the first three Sailor Moon movies for like 30 bucks. Is that worth getting?
Think happy thoughts.

I would check ebay or half.com... but for older episodes I always look on-line first, the newer stuff I usely go straight to suncaost :sweat: I know the people their so..... I sorta buy from them....
About gungrave i heard about it, but haven't seen it, I am interested in checking it out because its from the creators of trigun, or at least thats what I heard. But on the other hand judging from what I've heard and the pictures I've seen it seems to have this um... evil side to it. So I really don't know if am going to get it either, I am interested as well to see what other people have to say. :)

Ebay and half.com sell mostly bootlegs. I got volume 1 from Suncoast on sale for $20. It did have some pretty violent parts, but overall it was pretty good. I'm planning on buying the next volume when it comes out in a couple months. It's kind of wierd though - the first episode shows Brandon as Grave, being ressurected and fighting monsters. Then the rest of the DVD is about him and his gang when he was young. (that's when all of the violent stuff happens) I heard that most of the series is about him when he's young. Anyway, it was still good, but not what I expected.

I read somewhere that the plot of this anime is revenge and it's really violent. Can anybody confirm that?

That is basically the plot - the main character works for a crime syndicate, is somehow betrayed and killed, then comes back from the grave to exact his revenge upon the people responsible. I think I'll still watch it though - the game was awesome, minus the repetative play, and supposedly the anime gets into the depth of the characteres better. ^^ I have high expectations for this one.

The first two episodes were shown at Anime Expo 2004, it is an excellent series definitely worth picking up, especially if you're a fan of the game :thumbsup:
