User Recommendations for Gungrave

I think both were developed by the same people and this would make sense because they are very similar in style to each other. Trigun is less gory and violent but still very good. Both have a great storyline, higly developed emotional characters, and action packed gun fights. I higly recomend if you enjoyed gungrave to check out trigun you will like it.

Both characters are excellent gunsmen and are portrayed as such throughout their animes, both in their former life. Grave is more on a revenge trip than Vash though and definitely won't hesitate to kill... most of the time. I think Gungrave is a little darker then Trigun but give it a try if you enjoyed Trigun.

similar storylines of redemption, gungrave is a bit darker. both have a similar badass feel where it counts, especially gungrave. if you want the lighter side of things go for trigun

Gungrave is Yasuhiro Nightows most underrated work ( Though he was only the character designer for both the games and anime) Genuinely interesting series with a lot of good characters and a good mix of grounded drama and more fantastical elements, all things that made Trigun interesting. Gungrave is set in a more modern and realistic setting, but has a lot of crazy things going on. The only other major difference to take note of is the lack of comedy in Gungrave compared to Trigun. Also, despite being based on a game, it doesn't expect you to have played it to watch the show,

Both are old-gen and give you similar experience in fights and the plot itself. Talking about the difference Trigun usually keeps a good light-hearted and warm feel to the plot, but Gungrave tends to be a little more eerie and edgy in its plot. But you end up getting almost the same fun with both the anime.
