Gungrave takes place in an undisclosed town that feels and looks like somewhere in Europe. The series focuses on a group of friends that tries, by committing petty crimes, to earn enough money and to perhaps, one day, become high in the social scale. However, the world of crime is very cruel and it will wait patiently to find a good opportunity to crush you once and for all. Sooner or later the two protagonists will have to pay for entering this cruel domain; they will pay a very high price, but, in the end, they will find a way out. The group of friends, of brothers, achieves their dream and they become members of an influential mafia organization. This organization is powerful enough to control everything. Gungrave is a story of how power and influence change people.
Characters wise without a doubt I will straight up say that Braden Heat and Harry McDough were my favourite characters alongside Big Daddy and Bear.
The animation and art style was very good and it suits the series tone very well.
The voice acting in the English dub was excellent including Kirk Thornton, Tony Oliver, Kim Strauss, Michelle Ruff, Dorothy Fahn, Michael McConnohie, Dave Wittenberg, Bob Papenbrook RIP, Lex Lang, Steve Blum, Doug Stone etc.
Story wise there are some problems I do have with it like in the first episode it literally takes place between the time massive skip then in the second it goes back to the past on how it all started. Personally I would watch episode 2-14 before 1 if you want it all in order.
There is something I didn't exactly like such as I didn't really like how they put a massive age relationship between Maria and Big Daddy who was more like an uncle then a lover. While I know Maria and Braden's relationship wasn't very good but still, if there was something i would change about the story it would be this. While I know it was for the whole profess of Mika being Big Daddy's daughter or whatever but still.
Oh and speaking of Mika I couldn't stand her in the slightest look she is cute I will admit and I do feel sorry for her but I found her down right annoying and a pain to sit through whenever she appears on screen. Oh and it's doesn't help that the writing did try to ship her with Bredon.
Aside from those bad qualities I thought this was a fun series to watch.
