Summary: The Turning Point
Review: The series takes a turn in this volume. Not until the second episode however.The first episode fits in more with the "Wolfwood" DVD. But the second episode starts off the series major story arc between Vash, the Gung-Ho Guns, and Legato. The first episode is funny. The second episode is more violent than most Trigun episodes and more action packed. But the third episode is kind of a disappointing filler episode. It basically sums up the previous episodes for those who may have missed them. However you do get to see Vash shirtless and that is a pretty big revelation. I miss most of the lightheartedness of the previous episodes, but this DVD is a must-have. And the story only gets more interesting as you go on from here.

Summary: The best collection yet!
Review: These three episodes lay the groundwork for season 2 of "Trigun," both in terms of tone and plotting. 'Eascape from Pain', episode 11, initially resembles "Quick Draw", a light, self-contained romp. The writers use the plot, however, to further delineate each character. Vash and company are individually drawn into a complex moral dilemma. Each character finds themselves weighing the good of the individual against the good of the many, and making a decision. The decisions reached by each of the principals, while seeking the same outcome, are very different. And the scene where Wolfwood puts a gun to his own temple will not easily be forgotten. All in all, a complex, ambitious episode that poses questions not often raised in anime. The standout episode of season 1. Episode 12, "Diablo", features the return of Legato Bluesummers, as well as introducing the first of Vash's season 2 adversaries, the Gung-Ho Guns. This marks the evolution of "Trigun" from a humor series with serious moments to a character-driven drama with the occasional light-hearted moment. Most of the episodes that follow are completely serious, darker, and more ambitious. Even the villians become darker. Though no less bizarre, the Gung-Ho Guns exude more menace than, say, the Nebraska family. The last episode in this collection, "Vash the Stampede", closes out season one with an episode that is mostly a recap of the preceding episodes. A good jumping-on point for newcomers, though the episode does delve further into Vash's mysterious past and background.

Summary: Oooh, Spooky!
Review: This DVD has one of the creepiest villains yet to come out of an anime. The first confrontation that Vash has with him is the most original I have seen yet. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but rather keep you in suspense. Vash is literally driven insane in this DVD and is much more serious than comedic for a change, which IS a good thing. It is sad to see Wolfwood depart from Vash at the end of the discs first episode, but something tells me that is not the last of him we will see. Anyway, definitely pick this up; you are in for quite an experience! DON'T MISS OUT!!

Summary: Trigun
Review: This is a great anime series. It's a must watch if you are any fan of sci-fi. Or even if you want something to enjoy that's not etremely violent but nice and calm. The character development is very well plotted and this series has a great comedy side to it. Your main character is a dimwit in disguise, somewhat like Kenshin. So all those who are iffy about this series...I say jump and go for it. What's the worse that could happen...you could regret buying. HAHAHAHA!!! No! This is an amazing series and worth at least every dollar of it. If you think on buying VHS and don't know wether dubs or subs. I say the dubs aren't half bad at all...and the subs are about as equal to the dubs. It's your choice. A must watch anime!!! ^_^'''

Summary: If you thought Trigun couldn't be serious, you were wrong...
Review: Um...wow. This DVD has succeeded in completely flooring me. I have watched it 12 times since getting it 5 days ago, and I still can't get enough. For a recap: Vash is not to be messed with. In this DVD we have the introduction of Legato Bluesummers and the Gung-ho Guns. These are the first real villians in the series, and they truly are worthy of it. Legato is purely psychopathically EVIL. He has no consideration for human life, and is probably the second best villian of all time in anime (in my opinion). This DVD starts off Triguns serious phase, a phase which I believe will last to the end. This shows Vash's truly bitter and angry side, and I won't spoil the surprises also shown in this dvd... The Music: Ok, the music is truly trippy. The scene where Legato and Vash meet has the most eccentric score I have ever heard. I have always enjoyed the music, but it just has gotten better (and wierder too). The bad: Ok, the animation quality seems to be going slightly downhill. Only slightly, mind you, yet downhill nonetheless (in my opinion). I am hoping that this is only a phase, a point where they are saving the budget for later shows or some other logical reason. But this is all subjective in opinion anyways. The DVD itself: I continue to be dissapointed in the companies which remaster the english soundtracks, yet fail to do so with the Japanese tracks. My stereo setup has the frequent habit of showing up every shortcoming in a soundtrack, and the detail which is brought out in the english track is forgotten sometimes in the Japanese. Ho-hum. I guess I am one of the few who watches with subtitles anyways. The picture is also excellent (well above par for a lot of anime series). The menu screens continue to amaze me as well (go pioneer! way to use the looping animations!). So to finish this all off, I highly recommend this DVD, for both picture and plot. Get it if you can!

Summary: An Angry Vash, Is a Scary Vash
Review: Vash The Sampede without a doubt is one of the most mysterious anime characters out there, and with the fourth installment of Trigun, that mystery only becomes more indepth. Vash shows a side that he's never shown before, and also shows just what the price of sparing your enimies lives can cost. If you've seen the previous TRIGUN epidoes, than you'll definately appreciate what Gun-Ho-Guns has to offer. With the introduction of new enemies that have their eyes set on Vash. Trigun is the only western/sci-fi anime that I've ever seen work so well. So if you haven't seen TRIGUN before, try it out, you won't be dissappointed.

Summary: The Plot Thickens
Review: Vash the Stampede, the spikey haired antihero of the Trigun series again blazes his way through the landscape with typical destruction and good humor.
Escape From Pain- Vash and Wolfwood again team up in an attempt to help a young couple elope. In a more serious tone than he normally has, Vash sets off after the couple in what seems like an attempt to take them back to where they came from. The ending includes the parting of ways from Wolfwood, the enigmatic priest.
Diablo- The past again comes back to haunt Vash as a huge man searches for Vash to kill him, destroying part of a town in the process, something that sets off Vash into his most serious and deadly visage that we ever see. Vash truly does seem to turn into "Diablo" as he tries to protect himself and avenge the town. This is also the first introduction of Legato Bluesummers, possibly the most intelligent and malicious character Vash ever faces in the entire series. Legato is the bain of Vash's existance and continues to be through the rest of the series in his subversive, manipulative way.
Vash the Stampede- Faced with the choice between killing and peace Vash chooses the latter again, though not without a struggle. In a truly heart breaking scene, Vash cries out to the lost Rem, the woman who only appears in Vash's memories, to help him chose which way to go. Milly and Meryl and faced with the enigma that is Vash. One minute he's a likable, sweet natured goof ball, the other he has the eyes of the devil. As they contemplate their adventures with him, they try to come to terms with who he is. The episode ends with them walking in on him and seeing the mass of scars his upper body is as he refuses to kill his enemies and has taken the punishment for that. This episode starts the more serious tone that the rest of the series takes.
Again, Vash is endearing if an enigma. He seems to be haunted terribly by his past, yet has a kind heart and sweet spirit in spite of that.
