Summary: worth $$60,000,000,000
Review: Vash the Stampede kicks alot of behind, but purely by accident, or does he? WolfWood is a priest straight out of Quentin Tarrentino's imagination, and Meryl and Milly document the damage. Its really funny, until the story unfolds and then you'll cry. For real. Pleasantly lacking extreme gore or sex, but somehow more suited for an older crowd. One of the best ...things...ever. Get the whole series and be the life of any party.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny!
Review: This is an excellent show. I have only seen the first seven episodes, but already it has me hooked. Vash is a likable...heck, lovable and human character. I highly recomend this show.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun stuff.
Review: Take the 'cursed hero' premise of Fist of the North Star, throw in some City Hunter-style humor, and stick everything into a 'wild west' scenario. That's about as close as I could get to Trigun, which is a very unique series from Pioneer. The main character, Vash, takes on jobs from other people while being targeted by greedy thugs for the insanely high price on his head. These thugs end up destroying everything but their target, which is a bit Golgo 13-esque, only handled more humorously. The voice acting is good, and made me forget I was watching a dub. Plus, it has cats. That alone makes this anime great. At the very least, you should give this a rent.

Review: Take the 'cursed hero' premise of Fist of the North Star, throw in some City Hunter-style humor, and stick everything into a 'wild west' scenario. But, it was as close as I could get to Trigun, which is a very unique series from Pioneer. The voice acting is good, and made me forget I was watching a dub. Nice animation, too. Makes a good rent at least.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Non-stop fun!!
Review: This movie is soo not what I expected, but that's a good thing. I was expecting lots of action, which I got, but the comedy caught me off guard. The fact that Vash is a wanted man even though he's done nothing of what he is accused of, got me too. All in all, a pretty fun show to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Without a doubt, the BEST anime!
Review: Vash the Stampede. He's cute, he is filled with love for all of humanity, he highly disapproves of suicide, and he fights for love and peace! What more could you wish for! Buy this now! NOW, I say! I own the entire current series on DVD and is it worth every cent. I watch it for my daily quota of happiness. Wonderful artwork that will switch to silly manga-style in a flash, you'll fall in so much love with this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ignore the people who say this isn't good...
Review: I'd like to start off by saying that the only contact I had with Trigun before I bought the DVD, was the action figure made by Mcfarlane toys... by looking at the figure, or by looking at the cover of the DVD, you might get the wrong idea about what Trigun is. The first few episodes of Trigun start off as a wacky comedy with some action, which may put off some people. However, if you give it time and watch some more episodes, you will be pleasantly suprised. Slowly, you get to learn how much of a complex character Vash is, and that he really isn't the total idiot that you might think. Each episode (after about 4 or 5) reveal more and more about Vash's character and who he is.

To sum it all up, although I actually enjoy the wacky comedy in Trigun, that isn't really what it is all about. If you didn't like the first DVD, try and watch a few more episodes, as you will probably change your mind.

Finally I'd just like to point out some of the other things that makes this worth owning. The packaging of the DVD itself is beautiful, and so are the animated menus on the DVD, which are really VERY well done. There's only a few extras, like artwork and stuff like that, but it is a lot better than some of the other featureless anime DVD's I have seen in the past. There is also a choice of Japanese dialogue with subtitles, as well as English dubbed - the dubbing is actually suprisingly good, and they definitely chose actors that suit each character. I generally prefer to watch my anime subtitled, but I don't mind the dubbing here at all.

Well done Pioneer!

Summary: yesssss gun totin' comedy
Review: A VERY VERY funny start to a great series if you are a hardcore anime fan and you don't have this.... you probly arn't a hadcore anime fan.... or you lack a job...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Start
Review: Many people complain about the first few episodes of Trigun. But I really feel that they are some of the best in the entire series.

I'll spare you a synopsis since Amazon already has a very decent one at the top of this page.

This DVD really shows off the humorous side of Trigun. Most of the memorable slapstick scenes come from the first three volumes, but this one is my favorite. First episode: Introduction to 3 major characters Second episode: We get to see Vash's lecherous girl-chasing side Third episode: We get to see Vash's love for liquor ^_^ Fourth episode: First voicing of Vash's "Love and Peace!" mantra

Now if only Pioneer had released four episodes per DVD like Bandai did with Cowboy Bebop -_-

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest of all time...
Review: Trigun series is by far one of the most original anime's as of the late 90's. It combines action and comedy with such great ease. The story is about Vash, a man that is so kind, yet everywhere he goes, he has trouble following him every step of the way. The animation is tramendious, especially for a TV series. This is the first anime series i bought on DVD, but it wont be the last. Get this DVD before it goes mainstream and goes to the Cartoon Network.
