a5c7b9f00b 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. Vash the Stampede is the most infamous outlaw on the planet Gunsmoke and with a 60 billion double dollar price on his head the most sought after! I just got into Trigun this summer when it was being shown on adult swim. I caught a few episodes and they were all very good but the main thing I liked about Trigun was the mystery. I was totally drawn to all of the characters especially Vash. I wanted to know why the series was titled Trigun. Did Vash have some sort of triple barrel gun? I hated the fact that I could'nt see the story develop from the first episode so I rented the entire series. I still haven't seen the whole thing yet but I am amazed about how this series questions the human soul. How can a man who is quite powerful and wanted dead by many go through life without having to kill one of his enemies?<br/><br/>This series is great. Its funny but the humor is there so you don't feel like a terrible person after watching Vash the Stampede, behave like a total saint in a world more violent and Dangerous than the one you and I live in. This is a Story about a man who wants to make his world a better place and all he does is help people.<br/><br/>I almost done with the series but I wish I was'nt. I still am allured by the mystery of the whole thing, but more that anything I want to know what happens to Vash and Knives in the end. Will he eventually have to kill? How will he solve his problems with his greater enemies, without killing them?<br/><br/>I have always been a lover of stories that make you think after you either read or watch them. Stories that make you ask yourself questions about life and what you are doing with yours. If you are like me then I would recommend that you watch this series, because it very my well be the greatest anime series. I cannot even put into words how amazing this show is, but I'll try. When I didn't know much about this show, my art teacher informed me that Trigun was the best show she'd ever seen, and that I should watch it. After art that day, I searched up Trigun and was disappointed with the results. I saw the man named Vash holding a gun. I was perplexed. This did NOT seem like something I would watch; looking rather dry in humor and painfully serious. I quickly dismissed the thought of watching this show. <br/><br/>Months later, I browsed Netflix and saw Trigun. At the moment, I had forgotten that Trigun even existed, and clicked on it. I looked at the cover and immediately thought the show was going to be filled to the brim with action. I decided to give it a chance and watched the first episode. I was delighted and confused. Never in my life had I thought Trigun was going to be like this. The episode had been generously sprinkled with comedy, something that instantly drew me in and had me craving for more.<br/><br/>I watched the second episode and was not disappointed. I started to grow fond of this show. The other episodes were humorous as well, but then the show made a drastic turn. It became rather dark, talking about the many battles in life; What was right and what was wrong, inner demons, hatred, etc. This change left me flabbergasted.<br/><br/>Trigun's plot was exceptional, I really enjoyed it. The show makes you think about things such as "Is what I'm doing in life right? Did I make the wrong choice?". <br/><br/>Now for my favorite part, the characters!<br/><br/>Vash: The Lord knows how much I love Vash. If this man was real, I'd marry him in a heartbeat (I have quite the crush on Vash). He is such a wonderful person, or rather unfortunately fictional character (And is also quite the looker). He is a pacifist, striving for Love and Peace. Being the kind-hearted person he is, he refuses to kill any of his enemies, leaving his body adorned in scars. Vash, bless his pure heart, had some very idealistic and unreasonable views of how things should be. Although it would be lovely to live a life where no one had to worry about such things as killing and anger, times are sadly not like that.<br/><br/>Meryl Stryfe: "You cant ignore her, you cant beat her, you cant resist her, and you cant win."<br/><br/>That pretty much sums up Meryl.<br/><br/>Milly Tompson: Although she appears to be your typical dim-witted female character, she's actually quite clever, painfully so at times. She has such a sweet soul that will make everybody love her.<br/><br/>Nicholas D. Wolfwood: This man deserves the world. I really love this guy, I have so much respect for him its not even funny. He's a realist, quite often clashing with Vash's beliefs. Words cannot describe how wonderful of a character he is. Hell I may even name my first son Nicholas in honor to him. Just watch the show, then you'll see why I feel so strongly about him.<br/><br/>Trigun hands down is the best anime I've watched. If you're reading this review and never end up watching Trigun, all I have to say is that you should watch your back, and that you're missing out on one of the greatest shows ever created.
