From Beyond The Grave - A Complete Gungrave Retrospective

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

Finished this old retrospective and curious about my thoughts on Gungrave GORE? No worries, I made a pseudo-sequel to this video that has ya covered: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGackGaXoKZ_a7M

[@NinjaAimless]

I’m playing it Now. Gore is quite Fun. Could use a few tweaks BUT it’s a wild animeish style fest of entertainment a Gun Grace fan would have a decent amount of Joy running through. I got it on sale for $15 can’t beat that!

[@maxharper9282]

man, I tried to dress up as grave for haloween in 3rd grade in the early 00's in alabama, and every house was like, "u a damn vampire pimp or something?"

[@GameGuy667]

My friend actually dressed as Beyond The Grave for a halloween party this halloween, he hand crafted the entire outfit including the cerberus pistols, only thing he didn't have was the coffin death hauler, I have some photos if you'd like lol

[@nightmareman9960]

Ha I went to comic-con as him one year and i can’t tell you how many ppl thought I was cosplaying alucard 😂 I did have someone think I was the guy from black blood brothers which was a nice change of pace 🤣

Gungrave remains one of the most unique anime made to this day. No other show can blend sci-fi and crime like Gungrave did all those years ago.

[@andresrodriguez8289]

No idea what are your talking about… I should watch the anime and see it by myself

[@danmoua7686]

Is it like Alucard OP... or is he like (Oh Shit! Here he comes! AND Ladies and Gentlemen it's a Wrap! Game Over!)

[@beyondthegravebrandon]

​@@danmoua7686None of them...... It is more like about personal conflicts

[@AeonofHorus]

Gungrave is my favourite anime and it's so underrated. I love the dynamic between Brandon and Harry: Brandon represents loyalty and sacrifice, while Harry is the contrast representing ambition and control. Both suffer as a result of their beliefs and their friendship is seemingly shattered, until Brandon reconciles with Harry in a last stand to correct the mistakes of their pasts. If Gungrave taught me anything is that its important to have balance. If you choose Brandon's path you will be unhappy and won't be able to pursue what you desire in life, but if you act like Harry ambition and power will consume you until you are left with nothing and become a shadow of what you once were. Gungrave means a lot to me as it helped me pursue what I want in life while also remaining grounded, and valuing the people who are important to me.

[@Dracullina]

Amazing content! Gungrave deserves more love. You've earned a subscriber. Here comes the rain.

[@baddudeonthescreen9346]

The best videogame adaptation I've seen. It's not a high bar by any means, but Gungrave made the standard sore up high into the heavens. The plot, characters, and music made this something very special. I'm annoyed at myself for not finding this video sooner as I have been keeping an eye on this series throughout this year. I appreciate you making this video, Blue and aid in spreading the show's quality to others. Quite a diamond in the rough, but it didn't give me a bitter ending, rather a happy ending. c;

[@teneesh3376]

And oddly the only adaptation where the show is longer than the game. Granted, not saying much considering the game is only 2 hours long at most. But it's still funny to think about

[@sillysphinx2330]

I've never seen an artbook that has so much practical information in it. Not just the interviews, not just the character art, but the backgrounds and set design are ON POINT! If you want to know what game studios look for in a game design portfolio, that book has some stellar examples! It's not just about drawing the characters or backgrounds, but you need to draw with programming in mind. Highly recommend the Gungrave artbook!

[@CheeseGX_]

Solid first video man, cant wait to see what you do next

As a voice from the future where GORE is out, it definitely succeeded in succession

[@Bluemansonic]

This video convinced me to redownload it from Xbox game pass

[@cinamynj]

I had Gungrave Overdose when I was 9 Years Old. It was my first experience of this series and it stuck with me for years. In my late teens I watched the anime and played the first game. It is definitely one of the most favourites series of my life.

[@s.sradon9782]

You lucky bastard! I *wish* I got to play a game like that when I was 9, but well I did go on an emulator binge a year back and who knows, maybe I did play it in the past and just forgot.

[@snknero9935]

Gungrave is ones of underrate most series.

[@lostshiki666]

gungrave is a part of my childhood, It has began when I was 10, someone's bought me the gungrave overdose and it tooks me few years to finishing up the game. I don't even count the number of hours of capture, joy, energy and madness spent on this game (easily more than 3000hrs. I was nostalgic by watching the anime years later when I've heard those wonderful soundtracks and melodies, it brings me back memories from the past when I was a young kid enjoying playing overdose... Can't wait for gore release !!!

[@dmc5924]

SO FAR SO GOOD

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

[@velvetgorge3844]

A correction about Overdose - you can actually play as the other two characters upon beating the first level.

[@thelegendarydarkknight585]

Absolutely amazing video! Feels good finding another gungrave video on KZbin every 16 years lol!

[@thejames11]

Man, to think that a new gungrave game is being made this year. Wild isn’t it?

[@lolifeche1689]

i didn't even know they had a game, i saw the anime back in the day at my boys house. I liked it a-lot. Saw the Trailer For Gungrave Gore last year and I was like I'm buyin that. Then came across ur vid looking up the release date. Great vid I learned so much about this series i didn't know. I thought it was a manga that became a Anime... Like most mangas but.... Great Vid homie!!!

[@kehribar1599]

i was working on a video about Gungrave. Then saw yours, Big Title needs respect. Great edit. thanks for your work.

[@iisanulquiorrahara8]

Gungrave has been such an experience for me. I started out with the anime cuz it happened to be on a sale and looked interesting. I was pretty much hooked throughout, going out my way to marathon it and even brought a friend into the experience. Then when I was done, thoroughly impressed from beginning to end, I looked up more about it and discovered it was a game before it was a show. Then I got into the games and retroactively appreciated what the anime did with adapting a series I was able to find a lot of fun with. Can't wait for G.O.R.E.!

[@5hawnEX]

STAYING GOLDEN, KEEP STAYING GOLDEN

[@RavenKnight2408]

One of the best things I've watched. So relaxing, so detailed and hyped me up. I agree with OD's half baked stuff. I mean it TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALIZE THAT WHITE HAIR GIRL IS SOMEONE WE'VE SEEN.

[@iceagi6969]

You did it!!!

[@Two-Man-Production]

The idea that GunGRAVE is meant to be played for the everyday salary man is something I wish modern games will bring back. Don’t get me wrong I love games like Yakuza and Final Fantasy, but the ability of enjoying a game that can be played in a few hours without feeling burnt out is much needed in life.

[@Arkham_fox]

I love the game and the anime and I love the intro song from the game I still listen to it to this day and it so fun to play the only thing that I want is more people to know about this franchise

[@jackieavocado5634]

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on GORE now that it's out!

[@hawkedarkwizart8924]

i don't know what a gungrave is, or how i even got there, but i immensely i enjoyed watching this video nontheless. "people talking about stuff they enjoy in enthusiastic detail" is my favourite genre of Long KZbin Video To Chill Out To, and this is one awesome specimen of that. something about your voiceover style just works really damn well. dog bless, have my subscription, hope you have a good day.

[@Zambadia]

Honestly, the Gungrave anime is easily is one of my most favourite anime. It blows my mind that only so few people heard of or watches the anime. It's a true hidden gem that I hope more people would watch it and appreciate the story and characters of gungrave. Thank you for making a video and talk about the series.

[@lorgami2330]

Very well done video, you've earned your subscription. Such a shame that sometimes the content you want to watch on KZbin isn't the kind that you get recommended by the algorithm though. Nice to see fellow Gungrave fans are still making videos about the game.

[@itsdantaylor]

You can tell the anime had a impact as most gungrave games after the anime released were considered sequels to the anime not the original game.

[@diamondhamster4320]

Gungrave games are unique form of beat`em up with guns (for lack of better term). Closest which also comes to mind is 10 000 Bullets ( a sorta Max Payne clone).

[@berniekatzroy]

Me personally I always wanted to see gungrave made by Nightow as a manga where he just creates the story all canon again. Don't get me wrong, the anime is still great but too short. I hope a manga comes out someday.

[@21stCenturyBoy-]

Gungrave ITS NO MASTERPIECE

[@lavenderlo-fi2970]

I've played the games since I was a kid, and still have them for the PS2. That being said, the series became a distant memory until recently, where I delved back into playing the games, saw the trailer for the new installment, and even finally bought the Gungrave Archives. Your video essay is the perfect spoiler-free summarization of this black sheep trifecta, and manages to accentuate the highs of the series while also acknowledging the lows (and unlike most people who are vocal about Gungrave, you actually have nice things to say about OD, which I appreciate because I actually prefer the sequel to the original.) With G.O.R.E on its way, hopefully the world will be able to get a well-deserved glimpse of the stylish soul behind Beyond the Grave, who is without a doubt the single most badass videogame protagonist of all time... In my heart, at least!

[@PedrituRL99]

Howdy! I don't know if you'll read this comment, but I recently finished watching the Gungrave anime. And I'll admit, I loved every episode, I think it's easily on my list of favorite animes. But there's one thing that bothers me a little, which I thought you were going to comment on in your video. Well, I know that the anime is a Japanese product from 2003, and this probably wouldn't happen if the anime were shown today, but the fact that Harry dates Shery, Bear's daughter, bothers me, due to the big age difference between them. he has. They started dating when she was 15 and Harry was already over 20, in fact, this happens when Shery was already 12 years old. And I'm not going to lie that this bothers me, since the show shows this as something "normal", and no other character questions it during the plot. I don't understand why the creator did this, but anyway.... Other than that, the anime is great.

It was on my list of titles to check out but I just never got around to it for whatever reason. I watched the entire series without making the connection, let alone knowing the series was adapted from a game

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

If it's the songlist ya want, there's a Pastebin at the bottom of the description that has credits for all the songs I used! The only reason it's in a link and not in the description is so that the copyright bots for some of the songs don't immediately destroy this video.

[@ohshino]

still think its CRAZY that the final level in the first game is so much like dmc3's final stage (the one with all the boss replays). dmc3 came out after gungrave, so i think thats pretty cool. maybe dmc3 was inspired ;)

Why haven't more people seen this video, too good, and Thanks I have a new anime to check out now

[@jordanguelbert7754]

I'm someone who got into gungrave with its newest game G.O.R.E. and as someone who has strong memories of being absolutely awful at Bayonetta, kicking ass in MGR, And loving the hell out of Helsing ultimate's aesthetic bc of the abridged series. Playing a game where i get to blast up a criminal syndicate for points with guns that looked like if Happy Chaos's Crescent moon had two babies with Alucard's Jackal as well as several tons of "It's not a big deal" rwby edition to swing around. Yeah, I got hooked.

[@russellmay4094]

Thanks for this video, I don't comment much but you did such a good job. If you see this, and haven't played G.O.R.E. yet, it gave me all the feels that the originals had but better. IMO

[@fallenmorningstar9224]

Hope your all ready cause the new Gungrave G.O.R.E. game is out!!!

[@buzzsawgr81]

I never got a chance to play the original games, by the time I had any interest in them they were already super rare. and I didn't care that much for the anime, mostly cause it spent way too much time in the flashback stuff instead of seeing grave "kick their ass". I'm currently playing gungrave gore and for the most part I'm enjoying it aside from a couple of levels filled with really cheap deaths.

[@rudeondude21]

Much like the fact that Ed O’Neil aka Al Bundy also play lord zed on power rangers

[@kar12894]

I remember i went to the DVD store to get some new anime i never watched, i picked two series together, Berserk and Gungrave...and i remember they were both so similar in themes and feeling, i was so emotionally drained after that week of binging both of them. Gungrave is a tall order if i saw them as almost equal.

[@CaptainGrimm24]

Great video. Always love hearing people talk about enjoying the gungrave series. I hope you make a video about gungrave gore as thats finally the modern game of the series that isnt vr

[@TheRealFolkBlues]

The clip at 23:40 is still from the Gungrave anime; episode 8, specifically. If you're talkin' about the clip slightly afterwards at 23:42, that's from Demolition D+'s "A game called Monster Hunter" video.

[@brainafkstube5393]

I love Trigun! It made me a goth

[@sasha1mama]

Tried the most recent Gungrave game (Gore?); hated it mechanically (Grave's hand cannons are .50cal AE minimum, but hit like they're .25cal - unacceptable and intolerable). I'm hoping this analysis might dredge up something redeemable. Will update afterward if it do. Edit: "around whom the show's main themes are built around"? Nonono. Drop that second 'around'; bad grammar, and I'm tired of seeing people make that mistake. "Around whom the show's main themes are *built".* No second 'around'. And "poignancy" is pronounced "poy-nyan-see", not "poyg-nun-see. The 'gna' is a 'nyuh' sound. Update: Nnnnope. Leave this one buried.

Nah, I've run into that issue as well so far. It's insanely fun, but there're some moments where I'm raising an eyebrow at what the game is expecting players to do. The end of that train level is EASILY the worst offender by far, though.
