I like this. HMV just did a 10% offer over the bank holidays, so reckon I'll be re-ordering some of my pre-orders.

Meant to post that the MVM deal of the week is Gungrave...

[Ross]

A very, very fine series indeed. If you don't have Gungrave, buy it:

Really? Am I getting it mixed up with something else? I heard it was a rubbishy games adaptation..... and have avoided it ever since. Need to watch this Trigun first, mind... (thx Ross)

Either you're getting it mixed up with something else or you've been misinformed! Gungrave is a fantastic series - think The Godfather, with added reanimated warrior zombies.

And here's the Gungrave link I forgot in my first post:

This. It's a similar story arc to Beserk, with great characters, some lovely design work and a hint of Goodfellas about it.

Bought! I've wanted Gungrave for ages, everyone always goes on at me for not seeing it, a tenner is a bargain!

Missed Gungrave by going on holiday, but now have wifi, and the offer has changed to Berserk:

Noticed the manga got a rave review on ANN this week - would anyone like to comment on the anime?

It's really good if you can handle your blood, sex etc.. It has a good story with decent characters. Be warned however that the anime only covers about 12 volumes of the manga, which itself is at around the 36+ mark, and so doesn't have any sort of conclusion.

Also be warned that, like Gungrave, the first episode isn't at all indicative of the series as a whole.
