Publisher Mastiff announces today that Gungrave: Overdose is ready for release and should be shipping to North American retail outlets starting today.  Developed by Red Entertainment, the series first garnered attention in the both and anime and video game communities worldwide by featuring character and mechanical designs from popular manga/anime artists Yasuhiro Nightow (of Trigun fame) and Kosuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess, Sakura Taisen, etc.), respectively.  This collaboration of talent ensured that the game series received an anime adaptation, and this in fact has been licensed for North American release by Geneon Entertainment.

Overdose then is the sequel to the original game published by Sega a few years back.  Alongside the value price tag, Mastiff will be offering a few other bonuses with the latest game:

"Anyone who purchases a copy of Gungrave: Overdose between September 2004 and March 2005 will receive a three-issue trial subscription to Play Magazine (an $18.00 value). Add a limited edition Gungrave art card, featuring images from Geneon Entertainment's Gungrave: Beyond The Grave anime DVD packed into every box, and you have one of the most incredible deals ever offered to gamers."
