Gungrave Gore - Blog Posts

Grave looks too funny 😭 (Made this in October a while back but saw someone post a Jyuji one lol)

Gungrave G.O.R.E - Studio Iggymob (2022)

Surprise, surprise! It comes down to you and me, Grave. As it should be, right? No one else was gonna prove worthy. We both knew that. Just a few roadblocks to soften you up for the real showdown.

Can’t get over Gungrave Gore. Everyone that I’ve seen talk or write about it seems oblivious to the fact that the cutscenes and writing are so out of line with the style of the franchise to the point that it’s insulting.

And what the hell is with this music? Not even a hint of of the subtle jazz infused Wild West stylisation that the original 2 games and the anime had.

And don’t even get me started on the horrible choices they made with character progression and unlockables.

Oh lawd they strummin

Sketch dump

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!

The real reason Grave drags his feet everywhere is because he wants to delay dealing with bullshit for as long as possible.

Now that Gungrave Tumblr has found me, I'm posting this silly little meme I made.

Like, can we talk about this one scene in G.O.R.E. where Grave just gave the hardest and sassiest judgemental stare? I know homedude wanted to say something so bad. 💀

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

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

(This was an April Fools Joke) The old Gungrave games suck so much. I so HATE OVERDOSE!! The short runtimes, horribly written characters, terrible voice acting, and not to mention Brandon. Like Juji said, he’s just a puppet for Mika. And I also hate Juji. Oh, and the anime? Even worse. It was so lazy and not introspective. Ugh. I totally love Gungrave Gore. Like, the graphics and game mechanics are insanely intuitive. And the new soundtrack? Amazing. Ditch the old left-head and right-head album. The characters too and the pacing—-especially the pacing, is so action-focused and totally make everything believable. I hate divulging canon, too, like all my aus and headcannons? It was all I lie…. My favorite character is Spike! Obviously! 😡

Oh, and FF7? I HATE cannon divulgence. I like the cannon and I HATE any ships of the characters. And I HATE Cloud SO much—like—-so unrelatble and rude! I only draw Cloud because of the fans’ influence….and any Cloud head cannons will NOT be tolerated! I am a strict OG lover! 🫡

I need this today. 😂
