Anime Hajime Review: Gungrave

Series Synopsis


Mika Asagi (voiced by Kumi Sakuma) is on the run from the powerful crime syndicate known as Millennium. Before her death, Mika’s mother Maria (voiced by Kikuko Inoue) spoke of an old friend that could protect her. Having been cornered by Ogremen, Millennium’s personal super soldiers, Mika is saved by said person. The man’s name is Brandon Heat (voiced by Tomokazu Seki).

Back at Millennium, the top members learn of the failure to eliminate Mika. They cannot understand how it is possible there is someone capable of defeating their Ogremen. The leader of the crime family, Harry MacDowell (voiced by Tsutomu Isobe), puts all the groups resources into finding this person. Once Brandon is identified, Harry is shocked to learn that his former friend has seemingly returned from the dead.

We are then taken back thirteen years to when a young Brandon and Harry (voiced by Kenji Hamada) are living as local street thugs. The two work their way up from the slums and join the ranks of Millennium, headed by its founder Big Daddy (voiced by Iemasa Kayumi). While Harry makes a name for himself as one of the organization's best executives, Brandon rises up to become the top ranked enforcer and favorite of Big Daddy. While Brandon is extremely loyal to his boss, Harry wishes to climb the ladder and become the head of Millennium.
