Trigun: Badlands Rumble

This film doesn't follow the Anime at all.

This film is in no way a movie for the Anime watchers. This is specifically for the Manga readers. I'm not sure why they would review something that someone would think would apply to the Anime when they admit they've never even watched it.

Either way. The movie is stand alone. A neat tidying bit that the director said would only come out in sub edition because of the Mangas success. If you're a Trigun fan, you'll love it. If you've never read the Mangas you'll be a bit confused but non the less enjoy it, and that's why it's a 6 from me. I only wish there are/were more stories like this that actually did tie in with the Anime.

Trigun Badlands Rumble is a very good movie, with some nice nostalgia for Trigun fans.

It's in the style of the first half of the series, Vash wandering around getting into trouble and helping people out. He runs into our cool heroine of the movie, Amelia, and she's quite likable. Of course, Meryl, Millie, and Wolfwood are in the house as well.

The story here is not black and white with good guys and bad guys, it's interesting in that the villains of this movie aren't all that evil, and overall the movie has a more laid-back feel than you might expect.

One cool aspect is how they incorporate Vash's past and how old he is, by tying in a flashback from 20 years prior into the current events. We have some nice fun dialogue, great slapstick humor, a crazy bar brawl, lots of action, and a bit of drama to give it some weight. The animation is the most flawless aspect of the movie, the art is detailed and it's lushly done. There's a lot of great detail, and all the wacky background characters have a lot of care put into them.

Overall, though the plot takes a couple clever turns, the movie is just a nicely done, very straightforward light action romp, done well. I enjoyed the ending especially, which had a nice way of commenting on Vash's ideals. And of course, this movie is even better for letting us hang out with those classic Trigun characters for another hour and a half. Check it out!

I just saw the movie, and I have to say it was quite an experience, it brought back fond memories of one of the best Animes I've ever seen, Trigun is truly an epic. The animation was top notch, fighting sequences were great too, the story was predictable but that wasn't a bad thing. You really have to thank the creators for their great vision, Vash the Stampede's character is pure genius, he's the hero that everybody loves and respects, and you'll find this apparent in both the TV series and movie. Kudos to everyone who worked on this, hopefully a dub will come along soon. A must watch to all the Trigun fans.

I have never watched the anime but I know of it. Anyway, this film starts off entertaining enough but loses a little focus when it brings in characters from the original animation and doesn't do a good enough job of building up their characters. Another thing that misses the mark is the plot for the whole film because it comes off as something which could have been covered in a single 30 minute episode. Plus the main villain is too much of a good guy to be a villain. Overall- this anime film is just okay. Fans of the series will probably like it.

TRIGUN (2010) is a very fun space western anime film, based on the anime by the same name, and filled with action, adventure and comedy. The quirky and outrageous characters all grow on you, especially Vash the Stampede, Wolfwood, Meryl, and Millie. Quirky and out-there, this movie, like the previous series really gets more interesting as it goes along and the plot truly thickens.

"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."

Overall, it's a modern anime classic, highly humerous and memorable, exciting and compelling. It was a fun film. Very enjoyable!
