Gungrave

I just finished watching the anime, Gungrave yesterday and OMG it's one of the most depressing shows ever. It's based off the PS2 game (not the one in my Now Playing thing. It's just called Gungrave) and it's basically a mafia sci-fi thing. There's this guy named Brandon Heat who is the main character of the show and it's about him gaining power in this mafia but always staying the good guy and he wants his friend Harry Macdowel to be the boss of the syndicate known as Millenion. Well, Harry gets a little power hungry and decides to go on a tiny killing rampage and blasts Brandon in the face out a window about 20 stories up. Tons of fun. Especially when Brandon comes back to life using this thing called Necro-rise (thats where the sci-fi part comes in) and he has to go on a rampage of his own to wipe out the top people of the syndicate including his friend Harry Macdowel. Really good show overall and I think most people would like it. At first, before all the necro-rise stuff, the show is really realistic and looks really cool so yeah. The only problem with the show is that Brandon has a slight God-Complex once he is revived but it goes away soon after (I won't tell you why in case you watch it but it's really creepy). A god-complex (for those of you that don't know) is basically a character, usually in comics or animation, that seem like they can live through anything, no matter what. For example, Superman, oftentimes has this god-complex since for the most part, it is impossible to kill him and he can do anything. If you've seen the new movie, Superman Returns, you know what i'm talking about. Of course, not saying that was a bad movie. Now i'm just kinda trailing off so i'll end it there. Peace everyone!
