The series first reels you in as a hilarious, action-packed romp full of wit and comical chaos, with a pretty clever premise behind it. But as the episodes progress, a more complex mystery begins to unfold and you'll find yourself dying to find out what's next when you're not laughing your head off or marveling at the action scenes. Crisp animation and chara designs, clever humour, a solid storyline and likeable characters that grow on you make Trigun a highly recommended series. Watching Trigun is not just very entertaining, it also leaves a lasting impression. Long live "Love and Peace"!

On a desert planet in a far future lives a guns man named Vash the Stampede. He's feared and seen as a murder by all individuals alike. He gain the nickname "Humanoid Typhoon" because he brings disaster to wherever he goes. After demolishing a city, a bounty was placed on his head $$60 billion. Two insurance girls(Meryl and Milly) were hired to locate and keep an eye on Vash to insure the damages that occur around him. At first they don't know what Vash is really like. But eventually they'll learn that he's the one guy you'd least suspect to be a wanted criminal.

Throughout the whole series, you'll learn about the past, personality, and tragedy of Vash. As well seeing many interesting minor, secondary, and vile characters that surround him. Not to mention the dozens of "Wild West" themed towns on the desert plant they all live on.

Trigun is one of the common 26 episode TV anime. But it's indeed one of the best ones out there. The animation is well done, for it being made back when Anime is still done with original cell animation. The western/punk look makes it stand out more than the other series. The story is really unique. It's also well balances in drama, comedy, action, and sci-fi.

Those who like Lupin III and Cowboy Bebop will indeed admire Trigun as well.

Set sometime in the future, the human race has fled from Earth looking for somewhere new to live. Unfortunately for them, they ended up crashing landing on Gunsmoke, a hostile and dried up wasteland of a planet. Years after, we follow Vash the Stampede, who has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head and leaves death and destruction wherever he goes. When two women are sent from an agency to find Vash for all the damage he's caused, we find out more about Vash and who he is exactly. Now I actually wasn't planning on watching this, but I came upon the first episode one day and thought why not, and so I rolled through the entire series in about a week and a half. And while it's not always perfect, Trigun surprised me with just how much simultaneously fun and interesting it was and I can happily say I'm very glad I checked it out.

Unfortunately, Trigun's first impression on you might not be that great. Being released in 1998, the animation is noticeably dated with some rough textures and details. Plus with the setting being a desert wasteland, it's not exactly a series that pops out at you. The character animations, however, are very nice and allow for a lot of emotion and life that might've been missing in lesser hands. The style of Trigun is very cool as well, as it lends to some tense and impressive moments. Another thing that might turn people off at first is the tone of the show, it starts off pretty goofy and lighthearted, using that Japanese humor where people's heads grow twice their size when they get mad or embarrassed. I didn't mind it, it eases you into the show and the first half is very entertaining with likable characters. If you hate the humor though, don't worry, for the second half of the show is an entirely different animal from the first. The second half gets dark, depressing, deep, shocking and very tense. Another noteworthy thing is the music, it has lots of memorable tunes and sets the tone of the show, light or dark, very nicely. The beginning and ending songs are especially awesome.

Now onto the characters. Vash at first seems like a total bada$$, with an intimidating set of clothing and tall stature. However, that image is quickly done away with when he see how Vash deals with these group of merchants trying to kill him in the first episode. For lack of a better word, Vash is more or less a goofball. He loves donuts, love, peace and refuses to kill. Vash is a great character in that without even knowing anything about him he is just such a likable and entertaining guy, and when you learn more about who he truly is he becomes so much more. The two agency girls, Meryl and Milly, are very entertaining in their own right and form a nice relationship with Vash. Then there's Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a trigger happy preacher who runs into Vash and co. along the way. Wolfwood is just as cool and interesting as Vash, having his own personal problems and views on the world. Last but not least, is the gun-ho guns, a large group of unique and psychotic killers out to make Vash's life a living hell. While all these freaks don't really develop a whole lot beyond bloodthirsty baddies they are unique and bring forth a good amount of fun battles. The main gun-ho gun, Legato Bluesummers, is a whole different story. Legato's introduction is a big game changer and instantly he is a chilling and intense presence on the show. His true role ends up being a bit disappointing in my opinion when another threatening force is introduced, but regardless serves as a great foil to Vash. The other threatening force I mentioned, who I will not spoil, is great as well.

Onto issues, there are a few. Like I said before, some may find the beginning of the series to be very goofy and a bit slow to start with an episodic nature. I personally didn't mind this, my big issue is the pacing in the second half. While it has some of the series' best moments and is very interesting, I felt it was a bit repetitive. For a few episodes I kinda felt I was seeing the same things happen but in different locations and with different side characters. This unfortunately hurt the last half a bit and stopped it from being truly amazing in my opinion.

Overall, Trigun is vastly under-appreciated and a damn good series. The animation is a bit dated, it's tone may be too goofy at first and the second half suffers from some pacing issues, but these flaws don't ruin the experience whatsoever. Vash is a great character and his journey and relationships bring up very deep and interesting views on life and how we should live it along with how to let others live. Trigun is a great little series that is bound to impress you as well if you give it a chance

This has to be one of the most amazing Anime series ever made. It combines some of the funniest and absurd physical and intellectual comedy with a powerful drama and sense of what I would consider to be Horror in the emotional sense.

Vash has to be one of the most contradictory characters in any anime. A Gunfighter who hates killing. Nearly Immortal, yet vulnerable. Power to destroy all life on a planet, but upset at the death of a bug... It really is amazing.

If I had to choose any series which has impacted my own sense of ethics, this would be it.

The concepts of Life and Death, Good and evil are brought to the line in the grey... Not the blurry grey area, but the pencil thin line within the miles of grey.

The goodness of Milly, the callousness of Nick, the pride of Meryl, the hate of knives, and the love of Vash... Though through it all, even the smallest character is "Fleshed out" with a multi-faceted personality. It really is amazing.

Though I would not recommend this for young children, I believe that rational adults people can only come out better people after seeing it.

A lot of animes set people off. Slow beginnings, long series, and lack of substance make a lot of anime shows completely unwatchable to the newcomer.

Those animes should take a lesson from Trigun. If there was ever an anime that told a story best in 26 episodes, it's definitely this one. Vash The Stampede, a supposed outlaw with a $$60 million reward, must set out to find where his life started and how to go on now. On his journey he is tagged along by reporters Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, and is later accompanied by the gun-toting priest Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

Every episode has its own wonderful story and solves a little more of the mystery of Vash's life, always wanting you hungering for more but feeding you enough to love that episode just as much as any other. I, for one, was very able to connect to the characters as each has their own colorful and lovable personality. It brought a lot of life to an anime series that you aren't treated to often.

There's no way you can't enjoy Trigun - it's an anime series for all and definitely one that will last throughout anime history as one of the best. It may not be glittered with massive CG and high-budget animation, but that's not what is important. If you haven't seen this yet, go see it now.

Trigun, for me, is one of the best stories I have ever experienced. It is the story of Vash the Stampede, and his search for truth. He lives by a creed in which he refuses to kill a human life, and he takes on a demeanor that shuns even the thought of killing another person. No matter the situation, no matter the danger, no matter the trouble he would save if only he would pull the trigger, Vash refuses to kill another human being. He has the ability to destroy the entire planet, but all he wants is to live a normal life. Vash is a character who loves and respects all life. There are times during his travels, however, where Vash becomes enraged at his adversaries. He does this not because they try to kill him, not because they want the $$60 billion that go with his head, but because his enemies show no value for human life- this is simply too much for Vash to stand. Only at those times does he let loose his anger. Even then, he refuses to kill another life.

During the story, Vash experiences terrible trials that push him over the edge, and he experiences an incredible amount of grief over the pain that he thinks he causes, all to save lives. I remember one scene where the grief he feels over what he does is so unbearable that he just starts sobbing so helplessly- I had tears come to my eyes. Vash does nothing morally wrong throughout the entire 26 episodes.

I am a Christian, and all I could think about during the episodes is how Vash's value of life resembles Jesus. It sounds kinda corny, I know, but watching Trigun has had a profound affect on my life, and I would offer my highest recommendation for anyone looking for an amazing, emotionally gripping story.

Humor, awesome gun battles, questions about ethics, and love- its all there. You have to see it to experience it for yourself.

Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson of the Bernadelli Insurance Company have a problem. They are to contain the problem of Vash "The Stampede", also known as "The Humanoid Typhoon". Every city that he stops in finds itself utterly destroyed. The problem is, once they find Vash, they also find that he's never killed a person and appears to be a bumbling idealistic fool which a penchant for dodging bullets and eating donuts. At least that's what he appears to be.

In a strange twist on anime protagonists, Vash is not a dark brooder or a naive boy with skill. Although he has elements of a dark past and such, he's an idealist committed to "love and peace" and he never shoots to kill, but rather uses his gun and his impossible marksmanship as a tool. While the series begins with a strong comic tone, serious elements are placed in the undercurrent and as the series progresses, the tone becomes increasingly serious with the comedy becoming more like breaks between the intense story. Towards the end of the series, it becomes increasingly potent, resonating both with emotions and intellect.

I really like the way the series really grapples with questions of idealism, pragmatism, questions of morality regarding the ends and means and other philosophical concepts, each having some embodiment in the various characters of the show. All the same, the characters are not allegories, but just strongly aligned to certain kinds of thinking. I do wish that some of the other characters were fleshed out more, but I also realize that it's hard to devote so much time to characters in a 24-episode arc.

Trigun is a surprisingly superb piece of storytelling thrown in a fantastic animated world and while the earlier comic episodes might be a little loose, they set the ground for the more serious second half and no episode seems utterly unnecessary. An excellent series and highly recommended to those who love science fiction, strong serial storytelling or those who love animation. 9/10

I first thought trigun was going to be all the same as all the other animes... blood, nudity, etc. It wasn't and i'm going to have to say that it is about the only anime i enjoy. The last commenter said that it was childish...and like a lot of animes aren't??? Sure it has a lot of goofy things, but thats what makes it refreshing! It has to be one of the most original animes i have seen. Many of the different things that Vash does like using the guns movements to dodge bullets is quite interesting. Also the anime is very funny. The artists did a very good job showing the characters expressions. Sure the comedy is broad and goofy but it's fun! And if sophisticated comedy is more preferred then you might not enjoy this. But the level of action and comedy the lovable characters, make this a surprisingly clean and fun cartoon.

I want to open this by saying that I don't watch too much anime. There are a handful of movies that I enjoyed and one or two series, but Trigun absolutely blew me away. The setting is amazing, the characters are interesting and well thought out; although, I did find Nicholas D. Wolfwood to be more interesting than Vash, but that's not to say that Vash isn't cool. He is. I just found him to be a little too goofy, but I also see that that's the point. Anyway, the story is just outstanding. There's something in this show for anime fans(i.e. huge guns, ridiculous action, and a very eccentric story line) and for western fans(the old saloon town setting, the gunslinging outlaw, and many many noteworthy shoot outs). This is probably one of the best shows I've seen, and what's great about it is that it doesn't drag out for seasons. It has a beginning and an end. In short, this show is great regardless of whether or not you like anime.

Look, this show has some really cool concepts, but the execution is just awful. Absolutely lifeless animation and dialogue hold it back from being an all time great. If you want a show that tackles similar ideas but can actually follow through, I recommend Cowboy Bebop.

I don't know why. I watched around 15 episodes. Then I quit.

It couldn't keep me invested.

I'm not really big into these here Japanese cartoons, but this is one of the two that I really like.

Trigun really throws off people that watch it. When it starts out, it's pretty funny as Vash takes on a series of fairly harmless and minor thugs and villains. If that's all you're looking for in the series, I wouldn't recommend watching the second half of the series.

The second half really gets dark in its viewpoints. It really shows that there's a human side as Vash fights with both his enemies and himself. So if you're looking for some comedy and darker views on life, I'd really recommend Trigun.

"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

Trigun was the series that got me into Anime. Amazing sense of humour along with intense plot line to the main character's past, which is Vash The Stampede.

I hate giving, along with receiving, too much information about storyline's and plot lines because the series or movie itself is supposed to do that for us by also giving us context and an emotional connection.

Which is why I'll say that Trigun engages your emotions so well by getting you to love each of the characters and really connect with them.

I'll say this; don't expect anything from this series. Don't expect it to be an action, drama, comedy, thriller etc. type of series as it can easily be described as any. This series is easily based on connection with the characters and their morals, beliefs, everything about them and the choices they have to take and have taken.

It's a true experience to be had if you just go to watch this series to enjoy it and have no expectation. I love this series and probably has to be my favourite series and I have gotten so many of my morals from TRIGUN also. It's amazingly beautiful and I never grow tired of watching it over and over again.

LOVE AND PEACE!

This is definitely one of the best anime series of all time. Offers action adventure and many interesting characters on all sides off the spectrum. The main draw of this franchise is the question of morality that lingers in every episode attacking the characters' actions at every encounter. The series is only 26 episodes long and leaves you wanting more. However, it ended at the right time. Before the show could become stale and boring. Every episode is great and guaranteed as enjoyable as your favorite episode. If you cannot get enough there is a manga series that is roughly 10 years in the making and still going. It offers more story with little deviation from the setting in the anime. This allows easy transition between the two. Vash is also a different hero than a normal action star choosing to fight his battles in a different way than most normal humans would. He lives by a strict code that sets the plot for the series and makes trouble follow him wherever he may go. If you in the mood for something different and more introspective then this is what your looking for. Giving you a steam-punk experience you'll enjoy over and over again.

Trigun is a series that if you watched chronologically would start as a Sci-fi, become a horror/mystery, change direction into a drama and quickly evolve into a cyberpunk western/comedy and end as a emotionally charged action thriller.

A man holds a gun to a persons head, this person is responsible for killing the man's loved one, you can shoot the man, shoot the hostage - What would you do? Life is a series of difficult choices with a time limit that only increases the risk and cost of making the wrong decision.

BUT - What if you were immortal and didn't age so time was not a concept you understood?

What if you could talk this man into taking out his anger on you and saving a persons life?

What if you had a bounty on your head worth billions of dollars while most of the planet was just scraping by to eat?

What if you refused to ever kill anyone who came after it?

This is what Trigun implants into you - After you take some time to contemplate it. You will soon see alternative solutions for difficult life choices, you will grow the confidence to cry as an adult, to change your morals, to forgive, instill in you the courage to be your own person and express yourself emotionally and still be respected, to stand up for yourself and rely on others for strength when you can't.

Trigun was my favorite series when I first started watching Anime and it still is - You will probably cry, you will definitely experience grief for the main character Vash. You may not like all characters the story or the music, but holy hell will you will be heartfully enjoying yourself .

For a series that's over 20 years old, it's dated animation and at times, rather jarring soundtrack can be seen as alien, but that simply adds to its flavor. It's not the greatest anime of all time, hell it's probably not even in the top 5 for animation, music or plot. But it's an emotional experience, like having your heart broken for the second time. You will grow as a person, and not much media in history can even claim that title.

After watching the first episode I was inclined to delete the series because I thought Vash was the stupidest anime character I've seen. But I decided to give him a chance and found a revelation in his craziness.

What makes Vash the greatest anime character for me is his determination. Most of the reviews praise or criticize him for his ethics. I don't care about them. You may think they were honourable or plain stupid. The impressive part is how Vash sticks to them even when he is angry, hurt, afraid or in danger. He believes in Rem with everything he has and sacrifices all he is for the path he has chosen. People hate him, love, insult, scorn, threaten, try to seduce him but they and their opinions don't matter because he has put his trust in Rem.

He knows the feeling of despair, longs for stillness but doesn't let himself to be lulled or tricked by his wants. He is determined!

I don't want to dismiss the other characters for each has a different beauty and depth. Each takes a different path due to the differences in their characters and makes this anime even greater. But for me Vash and his spiritual journey to Rem was the most significant..

Trigun is a masterful mix of epiphany, fun and sorrow. A must watch! Even if you are not an anime fan you should give this series a try.

Based on the manga of the same name by Yasuhiro Nightow, Trigun follows Vash the Stampede, a gun slinging outlaw on the run in a far futuristic wild west wasteland with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head. Followed close at heel by Meryl and Milly, two representatives from Bernardelli Insurance Agency tracking Vash as he seems to cause exorbitant amounts of damage wherever he's reported seen. What starts as a quite good, fun anime eventually turns into a bit of a slog as we get multiple recap episodes, questionable animation, and unforeseen world building as the narrative goes further and further into the mythology its created. Towards the end I wasn't near as interested as the beginning, its overarching plot follows a thread not that dissimilar to the recently reviewed Ergo Proxy (which I would highly recommend), but the lore goes too big too fast, with ironically too much inconsequential filler plot in between to make the grand scale of it all feel impactful. I liked all the characters and aesthetics. The futuristic steam punk western kinda vibe was cool and overall I had fun. Created the same year as Yu-gi-oh and Cowboy Bebop, this series fits very well in between the two in most aspects. Character design is right out of Yu-gi-oh while the world and plot are Bebop-ish, the series had big shoes to fill standing next to those giants of anime. I can understand how some love this, it was certainly pretty good for its time.
