That moment when you've finished the series but you're still connected to the characters

"but i couldnt kill my best friend" those lines make me cry every time.

Back when anime don't use exploding fanservice to get the job done.

I love this anime, 15 years later and I still remember this show. It's a shame most people don't know about this series

Years later, at the age of fifty, this still hits me right in the feels! Such powerful emotions conveyed in this anime :)

If you don't cry at Gungrave's ending, you're not a real man.

Both of them didn't know what they had until it was gone.

This anime is so underrated and annoyingly unpopular, it's frustrating that so few even know it exists. To watch this now after a decade brings back so many good memories...and bittersweet ones. Without looking it up, if memory serves me right the white haired girl is the direct descendant of the first boss of Millennia who is also the daughter of Brandon's love interest back when they were young and foolish. And if I recall further, all their friends (who appeared in the ending), died through accidents and being gunned down just before Harry took over and betrayed Brandon.

No matter how tough Harry came off he still loved his friend..man this ending always brings me to tears. And Harry got the chance to apologize for killing him. If only life was that easy.

Every time I hear the happy ending theme, I cry a little on the inside. Because thinking about it when brandon dies that is a bitter ending, when grave "dies" its happy now, he's reconciled with his friend and he's content with dying at his hands again but mutually. This was a happy ending for him. He died with his best friend, and in the end, maybe that's all he wanted.

One of the greatest endings that left me sitting in the dark after the credits with nothing but my thoughts and feels.

This anime will forever be engraved into my soul

Gahdamn, I picked this up when I was 14 in highschool. I’m 30 and this shit still hurts .

How fitting the mood is nostalgia I remember being 16 watching this on a smartphone and shedding a tear 🥲

This anime gives a clear message, Friendship and feelings comes 1st than greed... I cry every time I see the ending. Brandon always loved Harry even with the things he did to him, he had strong feelings for his best friend and couldn't betray him.

The coincidence that I just happened on this anime is nothin short of great dumb luck. Back when people still rented movies & bought dvds from pretty much anyone online. I meant to buy Samurai Champloo & InuYasha. I got Inu but they sent Gungrave instead of SC. Naturally I complained this isn't what I wanted & they sent SC free of charge & said I could keep GG. So I said hell with it & gave it a watch. Been in my top 3 slot ever since. Thank you random anime site from yesteryear. Your blunder has been my pleasure for 15 or so yrs now

man, the voice actors, they really know how to put emotion in this.

this is so depressing of an ending but also so beautiful. Brandon had such a hard life its sad to see him not make it in the end

If I had a dollar for every time they said each other's names, I could buy the animation company.

tears everytime. The ambience, soundtrack, and characters all blend together at the ending...

I really liked how the creators made it so you don't hear the gunshots 5:27 It really added to the suspense. I admit that I held my breath and looked away, not wanting to see what happened. But I was genuinely surprised that the creators didn't show you their deaths or had you hear the gunshots that ended it. It really pays homage to the brotherly bond that Brandon and Harry shared. It made it all the more respectful that it didn't show them dying in such a dramatic way like the other characters. Gungrave makes my top ten favorite anime series of all time.

Anybody fall into a mini depression when they saw this last scene , because I did😭

this is by far one of the best anime of all times, and my top ten of fav

This still might be the best Anime ending of all time. The entire last episode is so complex, unique and surprising. They were somehow able to pull it off without making the second half of the Anime felt like a waste of time.

Putting the scene of them meeting each other for the first time at the very end is genious. Such a bittersweet ending. Makes you feel like the story is finished but somehow is yet to be said.

"Brandon, I'm sorry" I totally felt bad for Harry when he said that, he didn't knew his best friend would just do anything to sacrifice himself for him once those people came to the picture. the condescending nature of Harry himself which caused the whole chaos on taking control of the millennium squad and that their friends and relatives have been purged just so they believe that Brandon was a vengeful foe who should be eliminated. and yet he refuse to slay him just so he could act like he was in the good old days after all the people who were haunt him down after a certain reason just so he could relax and feel safe with him. I believe those are the kind of things the show are giving us messages about: being the one to let your ego become overwhelmingly powerful so much that you're very convinced that you're an indestructible force to be reckoned with leads to terrible stuff that would only end in a horrific bloody terror. That and it also makes me miss Thomas Wyner so much. (the guy who provided the voice for him) it still saddens me that he retired since 2006, since the glorious bass in his voice legit helped the character (and loads of others) to feel really human and brought an heartfelt (tear-jerking even) performance that's hard to live up to. such a shame this man's voice will never be heard ever again....

The last two episodes of this series was the absolute greatest ending of any series I have seen mainly because it subverted our expectations. This anime played out kinda like berserk. You start off in the middle of the story tech then work your way back. Brandon and Harry were mafia Guts and Griffith. We were expecting to see Brandon get revenge on Harry for all hes done. But then you see Brandon didnt care about revenge, he just wanted to save his brother.

I cried several times during this show. Great anime.

That was the most powerfully ending ever....i still cry when I watch it ...

I love that they left the ending open, not showing us whether Brandon died or lived (Well, lived is a strong word). Hey, maybe with the new Gungrave game coming out we'll get a continuation covering Overdose?

I always come back to this time to time, this ending is so memorable.

If there was one anime I can give a 100/10 this would be it.

Still hits like a train...

Every time I have the opportunity, I tell people about this Anime. I really want more people to know of this masterpiece!! It’s so freaking beautiful! I was a senior in high school when this came out. Now 35 and still brings me to tears.

honestly the scene at the 12 minute marker of the last episode where his old crew from when they were teens was amazing. then Maria and Big Boss is there and the music for it. it's so nostalgic in a very bittersweet way all of them telling them it's time to come home to them to rest in peace.

HOW THE FUCK CAN IT BE SO GOOD AND SO UNDERATED I've watch more than 130 anime. But this shit is still my favorite one. Master piece

One of the greatest Animes Ever Made! Hugely underrated!

Seeing all of their dead friends again is so powerful.

Most underated anime.

GunGrave is in my top 5 anime for ever like Cowboy bebop

“Let’s go home” 😭

Still one of the most sentimental and touching scenes in the history of anime~

the ending was quite emotional it just felt right it really displayed what family really meant.

Such an amazing ending, so tragic yet so beautiful.

What a bloody masterpiece.

Finished this show last month. Best anime ending ever.

I want to see a remake but the original was so damn perfect

i shed tears at the end of this anime every single time i revisit. masterful ending.

Gungrave was the first anime I ever watched over a decade ago. Since then Ive re-watched it twice. Does anyone know animes similar to Gungrave or ones with strong morals at the end or something?

My childhood and forever my adulthood.

As a man this still hits hard. When revenge is empty and only full of forgiveness at the end. But this is not a fulfilling story unless you're into bittersweet endings.

This is a true classic

Watched this anime for the first time a few months ago. I remember holding back tears most of this episode but once he said "I keep making the same mistake" I saw where it was going and started crying. Loved all of it and I wish I could experience it new again already

That ending makes me cry. Reminds me of my brother. Despite there battles against each other... they still have love for each other.

one of the best endings to anything

GunGrave... So beautiful I wish shows were more like this with a sense

who put these damn onions here

One of the best ending I've ever seen so far.

This shows that Brandon, even though Harry killed him and was obsessed into "rising to the top", still wouldn't kill his best friend. That is until they decided to both commit suicide and enter the afterlife.

This show was just depressing all around. There were no winners and both of them lost everything along the way to the end. Only thing they had in the end was each other.

I akways cry at this scene. No mater how many times I watch it. Nothing like a cry of sorrow of a man with lifetime of regret finally realized..

Bruh, loved this when I watched it many years ago.

Crazy this really good anime came from a game. and had some real talent behind it and recognizable voice actors.

Harry calling Bear dad hits different for me

The feels ......i realy cried so damn sad but so good T.T

The I'm sorry kills me man

For those who Fine this Ending to Sad, and Wish Grave could have Stayed with Mika...Then you Will like the Video Game StoryLine better. And theres even a New game coming out later this Year. (2019)

Best anime of all time. Hands down

I miss bunji kugashira

this ending redeemed harry for me

God I missed this anime

I can’t stop crying

That poor little girl had everything taken away from her :/

the cast saying either Brandon or Harry during credits...are they saying the name to whom they were loyal?

I love this anime so much..Thanks. From France.

Yasuhiro Nightow makin' me cry like a little bitch again

I love this anime! The music and the story 👏

I was always torn with this anime. While it has a special place on my anime list, I loved the flash backs waaaaaayyyyyyy more than the present day stuff of zombie Brandon Heat. I felt like thats where the heart and strength of the series was at. It's a damn shame a lot anime heads really havent seen or ever mention this show though.

Japanese anime at its best ...its been a long time but I remember every scene.

Probably one of the best soundtracks wish we could see a vinyl release someday

It’s a real wonder that almost all videogames adaptation suck but somehow this one time they managed to create a masterpiece from a mediocre videogame. That series is such well written. I’ve probably watched it like 4 times and each view I see more details that make it even better. For example there’s one scene that didn’t strike me that much first but after second viewing I could see how it’s actually a brilliant piece of storytelling. It’s the scene when Harry sees a kid who gets bullied by the store owner he works for, so he kills the store owner. But instead of being grateful the kid cries and Harry gets mad. This scene gives such a smart and insightful hint on harry’s entire personality...

Sweet nostalgia... Everytime!

This anime needs a damn remaster

Heartbreaking how he said branden with broken voice

How did I not cry watching this final episode ? I did not cry until I fell asleep just minutes after this.

I just finished watching this. Hits really hard it made me cry.

I'm remember this scene too well when I'm was watching while back it made me cry 😢

One of the best series

as the guy who played the game before watching the anime I don't mind the anime ending being more emotional that the original game, i liked it

Quiet, impactful, a few places and backgrounds a viewer can relate to. Less in numbers but strong characters... Whatever happened to the good old writers :(

I never played the games, but I know this ending isn't canon. But God damn it breaks your heart.

"Big guy."

One of the greatest animes to ever come to us. Glad I played the video game first. The game was awesome, but the show's better.

When the Fourth Hokage was a big shot mob boss.

I cried thought the whole episode

Only anime that I cried

In the end we find out that Brandon was prepared to go through with harry and kill the boss

Still can't understand Brandon's decision. It's like craving for hope in a hopeless situation where you were betrayed and people died because of your mistakes and misjudgement.

Is that Spike Spiegel?🙂 7:21

I hope heaven is real in GunGrave. If only it could get confirmed (;-;)
