TRIGUN Audience Reviews

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Dark_Lord_Mark This is the best anime ever put together. It has epic story lines to go along with a killer soundtrack with incredible voice work and action.The Action is great, it deals with Vash the Stampede and in the first few episodes it leaves you guessing, if you do not watch the intro, who the heck is this guy....but as it progresses you see a budding deep storyline driven action comedy drama with deep philosophical meaning with an intense rock soundtrack.THis is THE BEST ANIMATION EVER MADE! Trigun deals with deeper meanings, from to kill or not to, is it wrong, what is right and what is wrong.....forgive or not to......It's everything that makes watching TV/Movies/Comics good and important.See this otherwise the Humanoid Typhoon will come for you.
GibboAssassin Along with Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star, Trigun was an anime/manga that was part of its own small genre that it works really well with. As a big fan of the manga and the anime alike, I have to say I rather enjoyed the anime.Unlike most animes it wasn't full of fillers (yes the first 12 episodes were technically classed as fillers but the creators of the anime did it well), the episodes before the main plot line kicked in were stories that filled the manga and it tied up loose ends to past stories told of Vash the Stampede.I liked the anime, the plot line went a little different and I have to say that I was a little disappointed when the ending of the manga and the anime were almost completely different with the same outcome and Vash's/Knives hair never changed colour because of them using their powers and it draining their energy, but I enjoyed the anime.It never really slowed down for me, some may say it does but I personally feel like it doesn't. It was great, both the Japanese and the English voice actors did an amazing job and each fit their character perfectly. The animation style doesn't hold a candle to the currently style of animation but this was released in 1998 so I have no grounds to complain. I like the series, even though it was shorter than the manga I think it does justice to the series. I'm giving it a 9/10 because I am disappointed that it lacked some things from the manga unfortunately (however, judging from the time when it was made I can understand why things were cut and changed).
Tweekums Set on a desert planet sometime in the distant future 'Trigun' follows the escapades of Vash the Stampede; a man considered so dangerous there is a $$60,000,000,000 reward for his capture. Searching for him are insurance agents Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson; they find him in the opening episode but don't believe the man they found could he the infamous killer nicknamed 'The Human Typhoon' due to the trail of destruction he leaves behind. It quickly becomes apparent that while Vash may attract trouble he does everything he can to avoid hurting anybody… even those who want to kill him. As the series progresses we learn more about Vash; he isn't the idiot he first appears to be; he is tormented by something that happened in the distant past and determined to confront his nemesis… his brother!Trigun is definitely a classic anime series; I'd heard of 'Vash the Stampede' before I started watching anime and long before I finally caught up with the series. I'm glad I finally caught up with it as it deserves its status. There is plenty of action and in the early episode there are plenty of laughs. The early humour serves to amplify the pain when we learn more about Vash's past. The desert setting gives it a western feel but that changes to Sci-fi when we see how everybody came to be on the planet. There is also the mystery as to just who, and just as importantly what, Vash and his brother are. The other characters are fun too; especially Meryl, Milly and the gun-toting priest Nicolas D. Wolfwood. The character designs may look dated compared to more modern series but that isn't a problem; they are at least distinctive.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
Rectangular_businessman "Trigun", despite not having an incredible level of animation, it's a very good anime series, with a great story, and many interesting characters.Which starts as a crazy homage/parody to the Western movie genre (With some elements of fantasy and science fiction) quickly evolves into something way more complex and dramatic, exploring the past of the characters, and showing how they are somewhat connected.A very good element form this series is that plot advances in a fast (But never confusing, or muddled) way, moving from the episodic format into a continuing storyline. The changes from comedy to drama are never gratuitous or forced, and this series even manages to keep some glimpses of humor in the most serious episodes.The best element of "Trigun" are the characters:Both the heroes and villains, each one of them are very charismatic and interesting, avoiding most of the most annoying anime clichés."Trigun" it's a pretty satisfying series, combining the best elements form different genres (Such as Western, Comedy, science fiction, drama and action) being one of my favorite anime series.9/10
