Right up to that headshot, Gungrave was the best gangsta anime I'd ever seen. The whole "everyone turns to zombies" ruined it for me though.

Weird tone shift. Started to lose me around that time as well and I remember hating how Bear went out. Guess they just needed an excuse to revive a character and give them some villains to kill.

The tone shift is because the whole "undead gunfighter" stuff is the actual story of the PS2 video game it was based on. When adapting it to anime the studio basically overachieved by turning the premise of an arcade combo shooter game into a grand gangster epic about loyalty and friendship.

knew it was a game adaptation but this is the first gameplay I've seen. Actually looks fun.

I guess if you play the game then you can appreciate all of the references in the second half. Without doing so it's really jarring.
