Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was the first series I ever saw, so it holds a place in my heart. The action sequences in this are great, they really suck you in. The character Vash is a lovable goofball, who at times goes totally badass. Vash is by far one of my favorite anime main characters. The plot is pretty convoluted, and doesn't really start coming together until the end of the series. It took me a second watch, after having seen the end, to understand the series. There really isn't much for characters in this, plenty of villains that come and go to keep it interesting. Moreover, the lack of characters leads the few main characters to be well developed. The only character I have an issue with is the smaller insurance agency girl who is a total bi@#! most of the time. Other than that, this series is comedy based on the surface, but is pretty doom & gloom once you watch it and get a gist of the story.

Trigun takes place in the distant future on a deserted planet. Vash the Stampede is a gunfighter with a legend so ruthless that he has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. Entire towns evacuate at the rumor of his arrival. However, the real Vash the Stampede is not the same man that rumor portrays him to be. The enigmatic and conflicted lead character in Trigun is actually more heroic in nature; as well as a complete and utter idiot at times. Written by Toonzone.com Trigun starts out a rollicking action-comedy on the dusty streets of a sci-fi western world. Populated by colorful and likable characters--the dorky yet principled "Jesus with a six-shooter" Vash at the center of them--and loaded with enough semi-goofy gunfighting to keep anybody happy, that alone would have made the series worthwhile. But in its second half it delves into an increasingly serious and utterly unforgiving examination of what "Thou shalt not kill" really means, and how being a pacifist means more than just not pulling the trigger. It's not a "smart" series, nor a technically impressive one, but its earnest heart and brutal unwillingness to let the hard choices work out cleanly in the end makes it truly memorable. Funny comedy, an ongoing story that is anything but funny, and a gripping conclusion laden with serious, powerful, and thought provoking subject matter--Trigun has a little of everything. Best of all, the themes are comfortably compartmentalized, so it all fits together into a thoroughly enjoyable series with a message that sticks with you after it's over.

One of the best anime's to come out of the 90's. Trigun is a series that every fan should own. With it's unique plot, settling, and characters it quickly captures your attention and doesn't let go. Trigun is also Johnny Yong Bosch's, who has gone on to voice characters like Kiba in Wolf's Rain and Ichigo in Bleach, first voice acting job as Vash the Stampede. This is his break-out role, in the anime world at least, that embedded him into many other great roles. And remember: LOVE AND PEACE!
