Simpler Times

Ideas that I want to discuss on this blog

This isn’t in any order or anything this is just a bunch of thoughts I’ve wanted to talk about regarding this lovely series.

Trigun/Gungrave narrative & themes comparison: On a scale of "love and peace" to "kick their ass"

Brandon Heat is a combination of both Vash and Wolfwood

Is Bunji Kugashira similar to Nicholas D. Wolfwood in certain aspects besides appearance?

Vash & Knives vs. Brandon & Harry: Expectations of trust/loyalty

Bunji Kugashira's hangups about brothers (first Juji then Brandon?)

What's the history between the Kugashira brothers?

How canon is the Gungrave anime to the first Gungrave video game? Was Overdose supposed to bridge the two (appearance of Sherry???)

Why isn't there more Gungrave/Trigun crossover content?

Tsuneo Imahori is so good at music dude: How the Gungrave soundtracks create another layer of atmosphere & emotion

What the fuck was up with Gungrave VR & Gungrave G.O.R.E.?

How and why is Rocketbilly Redcadillac?

I want to see more hijinks with Juji and RB, they are sooooo

Why is Juji not in G.O.R.E.? (Sad but probably not canon idea that he was eventually overcome by the SEED in him)

What it's like to be a deadman aka why don't we let the Gungrave cast experience body horror too

Madhouse wanted the Gungrave anime to be a spiritual successor of the 1998 Trigun anime

Will there ever be another entry in the franchise after G.O.R.E.?

Trigun and Gungrave say aliens are real folks (maybe canon maybe not)

Beyond the Grave & Vincent Valentine: Two ultra sad goth bois that just want to take a nap in their coffins

Feel free to make your own post for any of these ideas or something. As I said before my activity on this blog is going to be pretty inconsistent so don’t expect anything from me anytime soon. Then again just last night I started writing a short little Juji story but I don’t know when I’m gonna finish it. I also plan to do fanart but motivation to draw has honestly become more evasive than wanting to write. If you have any questions or suggestions I’d love to read them in the comments or tags at least. See you guys later!

Hello there fellow Gungrave fans!

(all 4 to 5 of you who still post)

I created this blog with the intention of adding my thoughts to this lovely series. Once again Yasuhiro Nightow tore out my heart right after I discovered Trigun. Even though Gungrave isn’t one of his more popular works I feel it still deserves some attention. While I admit that narratively Trigun still remains the more compelling of Nightow’s works (I haven’t seen Blood Blockade Battlefront yet please no spoilers) I loved Gungrave enough to buy the Dark Horse artbook! Ranging from stupid shitposts and analysis on both the games and anime adaptation, I would love to discuss this odd little gem with others so feel free to message me!

(However, I should add that my attention span and willingness to share my thoughts with others is a fickle thing so if I don’t respond to you please don’t take it personally. Interacting with people in any sort of capacity drains my social battery.)

Probably should’ve posted this sooner but this is my sideblog. Here’s a link to my main: TheJezHangout

is the gungrave fandom real please tell me u guys r real i want friends

You know, I still for the life of me cannot figure out why this was included in the story. Like okay, we know that Harry is supposed to be climbing the ranks in Millenion but. I’m fairly certain that marrying Sherry/Shelly wouldn’t have helped him any more than the recommendations from Randy and Bear Walken himself already had. Was it just to make sure Bear wouldn’t interfere with Harry’s plans later? I never felt like Harry and Sherry’s relationship felt genuine either. For the whole show since the two met I completely thought that Harry was totally disinterested in Sherry and just dated her to keep Bear Walken off his back. But when Sherry dies Harry is genuinely sad and. I was like oh he did care. I guess. Yeah, the whole thing overall rubbed me the wrong way.

They really did a good job in gungrave by making henrys general personality dislikable as fuck but it actually is insane that they had his grown as hell ass take a 13 year old girl out on a date and have a pretty much public relationship with said 13 year old girl and literally nobody did anything

who can relate

So I have a Gungrave artbook right?

And I was looking at Grave’s page for Overdose when I see this:

And like??

WHY was this not put into the game??? And more importantly, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS????

I hope this hurts/I don’t want anything

Jeanne and Anya are kindred spirits I think

Listen. Listen guys. I know I said this was gonna be a Gungrave blog but. Would anybody mind if I post about other stuff? Namely of the mouthwash variety? Obviously I’ll still post about Gungrave but like. Damn. Mouthwashing has me by the throat.
