Wow poor Mika and Maria...this episode. It's hard to imagine what the both of them are going through now especially regarding the latter's past. Anyways, great episode.

Why the hell is anime so friggen obsessed with a “Normal life", it's the foundation of like every show out there? I know that having the mafia chasing you down isn't something anyone would want, the exception being the mentally ill and adrenalin junkies, but most other anime out there has some thing good like some guy gets a harem for no reason other than being the main character or finds out that he's the heir to some kind of organization or somehow gets some kind of power and they almost always respond with "I just wanna live a normal life". Is living an exceptional life so despised over there?
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.

Maria getting gunned downed like a fodder character felt really lack luster, and "bloody Harry" is a very appropriate nickname.

So Bob and Lee are "superiors"
It's odd that Sherry didn't change much after all those years and that they didn't have a kid...well, Harry is so selfish, no wonder why.
So they found Maria, Harry is a ass whole! She was living a peaceful life and didn't bother him, but of course that he would go and ask to their killers kill her...

And here we are again, come full circle. Now that there's context to the first episode I'm actually feeling this set up. I can't help but feel the strongest part may be over, but Gungrave has done an incredible job thus far.

I heard episode 17 onwards was absolute trash but I enjoyed this episode. We get a quick, but good look at how Millennion has developed, as well as how the characters we've come to love have developed as people. As long as Harry is the villain and not some 1D excuse to introduce supernatural elements I think this should be okay. If nothing else, the first 16 episodes(minus two or three) were a good flashback arc. Excited to see where this goes, this episode did its job as a set up / introduction episode.

Wait, no, what? Why is Harry looking SO old? If I'm not mistaken in my calculations, he should be only 41 after this time skip, so how come he looks as old as Big Daddy looked before the time skip if not older? wtf? So far, this is the most baffling thing about this show...

This episode was so wrong in many way. Already really got me in the nerve now afterall all these cheap timeskips and now inserted more lame plot devices. Seeing how characters aged don't feel like watching the same show now sadly given how beautiful the show started. Shame this could been nice crime drama/revenge anime especially how beautiful it started (skipped ep1) but feels like they didn't knew how to write to the end. Not to mention animation/ost are shockingly average but the story was saving it and then now turned into giant wasted potential...

That scene were Lee Balladbird laughing while cut those guys up. That the moment where they went from gangsters to superhero villains. Epic story so far.

Now all this things are making sense. Anyways I've no sympathy with Maria. I just cut her out of my mind so I can watch show this peace fully. Die you f*ucking b*tch.

Really looking forward to see Brandon's revenge. This will hit up soon.

Lee killing his subordinates was pretty damn edgy.

Rip Maria, but nice to have Brandon back.

And so we've come full circle. Let's see how the rest of this show is going to play out. Hopefully Mika isn't one of those annoying characters who only exist to whine but I have a sinking feeling that's the only thing she'll be doing.

Also, I'm pretty sure Brandon wasn't wearing glasses in the first episode.

Edit : Nope nevermind, he was wearing glasses.

All the Millennion members and executives are villainous caricatures now. That scene where Lee just massacred a bunch of guys who were trapped in a room with him was more humorous than I think it was intended to be.

The timeline seems to have caught up with the first episode, where Brandon is revived to fight the Orgmen on the bridge.

I think the first episode did do a great job at hyping things up but should have not made it obvious that Grave was Brandon and Harry betrayed him.

I wish we got to spend a bit more time with Mika before the attack, I also didnt get the scene with Lee, I guess they're trying their new powers.

The animation was pretty rough this episode. I worry how it will be now that the action's about to pick up.

To think this is the same studio that eventually did One Punch Man. A lot can change.
