Genres: action, comedy, drama, science fiction Themes: post-apocalyptic, space western, western Objectionable content: Significant Plot Summary: Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, refuses to believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby (far from a notorious outlaw). But there is more to Vash and his past than meets the eye. Number of episodes: 26 Vintage: 1998-04-01 to 1998-09-30

This movie is going to be interesting. About time this property got something new!
I’ve never got to watch the whole series, even when it was on Adult Swim. Started collecting the singles, but never got around to finishing them. Then Geneon went bust.
Hmm still haven’t seen ALL of Trigun, but I did see most of it on Adult Swim and in my opinion it’s largely overated. It felt like an average show at best (even the animation and artwork were average/below average). Sure it’s a little fun, but no real content. Too much style, not enough substance? And I just don’t get the big deal behind this series. Guess it’s not my thing? I’m a huge Madhouse fan too. Also that tall girl was anoying! No offense by any of this, just my opinion.
Also
He’s a PLANT?!?! WTF!!! Ok they lost me with that.
…the way he went from a total goofball to a serious gunfighter halfway through. It was like watching a comedy show turn into a drama slowly but surely without even realizing it.
It was too silly, for too long. By the time it became serious, I didn’t care. I wasn’t sold on anything, and didn’t care for any of the characters. And even when it was seriuos, it wasn’t *good *or anything. But that’s just me. Plus he’s a plant wtf? Talk about a curveball.
There is one scene I really like though, it involved Vash going into the Tavern and stealing the bullets from the bad guys or something like that. It was an interesting scene I’ll give them that. I liked how the two anoying girls got mixed up in all that and everything meet at a head at that scene. It was kinda cool what played out…
It’s not a terrible series or anything, just not worth the praise it gets in my opinion. Rather average at best. Then again my opinion very rarely matched up with what’s popular…

To me this cool announcement as Trigun is one of my favorite shows. Though I got the whole series on dvd and tape but good chance new fans to pic it. Posted here because I decide not to start new thread after seeing one not start. So I just include it in the old one.
But I wouldn’t of thought of the spoiler thing…
