Bravely trying to keep up with MVM's latest DVD releases, I've reviewed the second volume of Gungrave (out now in the UK).<ul class="menu">Gungrave #2 wastes no time by throwing us into the nitty-gritty lifestyle of a mobster, but it's not all about wise-guys though as Brandon particularly comes across as a genuinely like-able, romantic bloke who wants nothing more than his friends to be happy. Gungrave is heart-wrenching already and with too many bloody promises yet to be fulfilled; it's scary to think that this series will only get more exciting as future volumes take the reigns.</ul><a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/viewreview.php?showreview=145">Read the full review.</a>
 
Yep, I agree with that. Trigun is good solid fun with a fantasticly twisted villain in Legato Bluesummers, but it doesn't come close to matching the drama seen in Gungrave. Like Berserk, the close friendship between the two main characters (Harry and Brandon) is what makes this series worth the agony.
