Gungrave

Synopsis: Brandon Heat and Harry MacDowel, two friends so close that they could be called brothers, receive an abrupt and violent reminder, a fateful day of how frighteningly the world around him may be. All their lives before that were simple and relaxed, consisting of much of local fights, seducing women and committing petty theft to make a living and spend time. What they did not realize is that in this cruel world happiness is fleeting and change is inevitable.

Enter Millennion, the largest and most infamous union of the area mafia, which accepts Brandon and Harry on their ranks and starts at the bottom of the food chain. Harry has ambitions to climb the ranks and one day replace Big Daddy as Millennion's supreme leader, while Brandon only wants to support his friend and appease Big Daddy, who took the custody of the woman Brandon loves.

Based on the third -person shooting video game of the same name, Gungrave is an epic story of friendship, betrayal and greed that encompasses the course of several years, finally calling the first exciting and agourious episode, building all the time to the exciting conclusion of history.
