Summary: Very Cool
Review: Check this out if you're in any way a western fan. I really enjoyed this. I haven't seen any of the other discs yet but this first volume is very promising. Highly recommended for its strange humor and inventive action. Love the animation.

Summary: Love & Peace! ^.^
Review: These are the first four episodes of Trigun, an anime of 26 episodes in all. Anyone who likes comedy and action should definitely get this. Vash the Stampede is the star of the show as a 131-year-old expert gunfighter who is a nut about doughnuts. And who could hate a guy with spiked-up hair, a friendly and hilarious personality, and a creampuff for a heart? Ladies, let me tell you this: you will love the guy! (I sure do.) This world is made of LOVE AND PEACE!

Summary: The weakest episodes of a great series
Review: This video contains the first four episodes of the "Trigun" series. "Trigun" is probably my favorite anime series, but I'm not a huge fan of these episodes. "Trigun" starts out as a weird and wacky spoof of spaghetti westerns, then gradually turned darker and more thoughtful. Season 1 is largely content to be funny and wild. The episodes on this video, in particular, are largely self-contained, setting up events so as to portray the hero, Vash the Stampede, as a good-natured, bumbling fool. In fact, most of the early plotlines revolve around the idea that the main character is too much a humorous bumbler to actually be Vash, 'the Humanoid Typhoon.'I'd probably rate these this video as 3 1/2 stars, with the series as a whole getting 4 1/2 stars. Still, these four episodes are fun to watch, full of weird villians, entertaining action sequences, and they do begin to establish the characterizations. Actually, my main complaint with these four episodes is that they present a much more simplistic take on the title character than is revealed later on. Still, this is somewhat essential viewing to fully appreciate the events that follow.

Summary: I'm VERY angry!!!!
Review: First off Trigun is an awesome show. It ranks right up there with some of my other favs such as Yu yu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop. You want to know why I'm angry if I just said that I liked it? Well here's why. First Cartoon Network whent and EDITED Yu Yu Hakusho!! They might as well have canceled it!!! Then the 'wonderful' people at Cartoon Network moved adult swim to a different time, which really wasn't a big deal, but then they canceled Cowboy Bebop. And within the same day they canceled Trigun. But that's not even why I'm angry, I'm mean I'm not some pathetic child who will cry over television. The part that makes me angry is that the shows they used to replace Trigun and Cowboy were the two stupidest and disturbing shows out there. That's right, I'm talking about Reign the Conquerer and Lupin the Third. Okay maybe Lupin isn't desturbing but have you ever watched Reign the Conquerer?
Anyway, that's why. But hey you don't care. You just want to hear about Trigun, right? Well It's a great show that was canceled right near the end. Anyway I suppose owning it is better than just watching it on TV. And since It's not on anymore the only way you'll see it is if you buy it. I've already said it but it's an awesome show. I was hooked after I saw one episode. And it's funny too. The main charactor Vash sometimes just breakes down and cries for no reason... okay so that doesn't sound funny, but it is!!! I love this show and it gets better whith every episode. I just watched the last episode aired on Cartoon Network "out of time" ironic isn't it? Anyway... this series is worth any amount of money, I mean come on it's Trigun!!!

Summary: A fun romp of comedy
Review: Vash the Stampede is a notorious gun-slinger in the wild west ... or is he? With a 60 billion double-dollar price on his head, he's awfully ... goofy! It's the old west with a twist. There are old saloons with pinball machines in them. Sherrifs with 6-shooters face off with a random selection of twanging guitars, ripping rock riffs or heavy metal bass lines. It's a blend of a variety of styles. And into all of this strolls Vash. He's got a flowing red trenchcoat and cool Janis Joplin sunglasses. He's the epitome of cool. That is, until something surprises him, at which point he turns into a clumsy, goofy teenage boy - his normal self. And this probably is what makes him so endearing. Chasing after Vash are an endless stream of bounty hunters. There are also a pair of female insurance agents hoping to put an end to his path of destruction. The women, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, aren't convinced that this silly guy could possibly be the notorious gunman. Vash doesn't hurt anybody - in fact he doesn't like the sight of blood - but the tales about him spread around the western towns like tumbleweeds in a typhoon. And so his reputation gets him into trouble, his bounty attracts in a wealth of interesting characters, and through it all his humor and cocky attitude save the day. Quite an entertaining romp - just don't expect anything very serious!

Summary: My advice: don't waste your cash...
Review: I am an enthusiastic anime fan who had EXTREMELY high hopes for Trigun. I have read review after review stating how great an anime it is. Don't be fooled... I ended up buying the first two discs to Trigun, and was utterly and completely disappointed. For starters, it didn't even establish a firm plot throughout the entire two discs that I bought! All that the first two discs encompass is Vash running around trying to escape people who are after the bounty on his head, making a complete idiot of himself in the process. The slapstick humor is barely even mildly funny at times, and the artwork and animation quality can be just terrible, to say the least. Now I admit, I am a harsh reviewer, and I demand quality in the anime that I watch, so chances are I'm bashing it a little more than it deserves. But if you want to compare your likes to mine, the series and movies that I would give 5 stars to are Tenchi Muyo OVA, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Grave of the Fireflies, and Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade, just to name a few. Trust me, if you want an anime with memorable characters and thought-provoking scenarios, steer clear of Trigun...

Summary: An entertaining start to an over-the-top anime series.
Review: There's always at least one in every genre: the fan-favorite. The series that an enormous following of fans will point out as an excellent example of whatever genre it belongs to while others wonder why exactly it's so appealing. Examples in anime include the controversial "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and the style-over-substance "Noir", but for many anime fans their preferred fan-favorite is the sci-fi western comedy-drama "Trigun". Vash the Stampede. The Humanoid Typhoon. The Sixty Billion Double-Dollar Man. He is known by many names, and his reputation is feared across the land. He is a legendary gunman who is said to gun down anyone who dares stand up to him. The enormous bounty on his head is living proof that he is a dangerous outlaw with the devil's luck and death's touch...or is he? Is Vash really a soft-hearted pacifist who actually prefers not to use his gun? Is the Humanoid Typhoon really nothing more than a bumbling idiot who chases after women and munches on doughnuts? That's what everyone who comes into contact with him find hard to believe, and yet he somehow always comes out on top. Who is this guy? Is he the real Vash the Stampede...? The first four episodes do a good job of setting up the back story of who Vash the Stampede is and what to expect. Contrary to what the front cover may indicate, "Trigun" isn't the most serious anime serious out there. While other shows such as "Cowboy Bebop" and "Outlaw Star" may incorporate humor within their story's frameworks, they never reach the level of near-slapstick like "Trigun" does. The main characters' pleasantry-like personalities is a very key component to the series, and it's this element that either keeps viewers tuned in or turns people off when the series gets darker and more serious further on. As for the episodes themselves, the first two are excellent in execution and design, introducing the main characters and setting the stage for what's about to follow. The last two are above average, merely filler episodes that simply emphasize what we've already learned in the first two episodes. Even so, all four episodes do a good job of establishing everyone's expectations and getting ready for what lies ahead. Visually, "Trigun" is a beautiful anime series...at least when it was first released. While it may not hold up against contemporary series such as "Ghost in the Shell TV" and "Inu-Yasha", "Trigun" is still a marvelous series to look at. With character designs that are polished versions of their manga counterparts (the series is based off the manga of the same name), well-done surroundings, and relatively smooth animation, the art direction (done by studio Madhouse of "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" fame) still looks good enough to satisfy the modern anime fan demanding quality visuals. Audio-wise, the score does its job but isn't the most memorable soundtrack out there. The most outstanding piece is most certainly the series opening, "H.T", a hard-rocking guitar instrumental that's both catchy and attention-grabbing. The rest of the soundtrack, including the ending, sadly isn't as impressive, although it certainly fits the mood of the series quite well. Pioneer has managed to give "Trigun" one of the best dubs on the market today. They even found the perfect voice actor to play Vash the Stampede: Johnny Yong Bosch, best remembered for his stint as a Power Ranger. With the same tone and pitch, Bosch manages to recreate the Japanese Vash into English perfectly; his faithful voicing of Vash deserves comparison to David Lucas' memorable performance as Spike Spiegel of "Cowboy Bebop". The rest of the voice cast give admirable jobs, managing to create a stellar dub that some sub fans might even want to give a try. Overall, the first "Trigun" DVD, "The $$60,000,000,000 Man" is a great way to start a great series. Not everyone will appreciate its unique flavor and how it later evolves, but anime fans looking for an interesting twist in their sci-fi need not look further than "Trigun". And those wanting something representing almost everything anime is known for should also give "Trigun" a try; it's practically the living definition of "fan-favorite".
