Summary: The Sixty-Billion Double-Dollar man steps into the west!
Review: When looking at anime titles these days, almost any of the titles that you pick will be chock-full of action, violence and sex appeal, and let's face it; That's how anime sells.Not anymore. Enter Trigun. A refreshingly cool, funny anime title with the central idea of "Love and Peace!" hits Amazon with a BANG! The story is centered on the main character, Vash, AKA The Human Typhoon, AKA Vash the Stampeede. The people see him as a murdurer and a city destroyer, and the latter is correct, in a weird way. He just tries to be a normal Joe and doesn't stir up trouble, but it always seems to find its way to him and may God help the city he's in when it finds him. Normaly a cool customer, when he's irked, he's ready to take out the trash. Armed with three guns, one black, one white, and one you never want to see, his marksmanship is unmatched. In the end, not one person is dead and he preaches to the masses the importance of "Love and Peace!", and you'd better listen! Humorous to the end, the comedy never lets up. Take a chance on Trigun; you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Anime at its finest!
Review: Trigun centers around one Vash the Stampede, a hapless hero who always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is being pursued by two young insurance agents who need to capture him so that he can pay for all of the damage he "causes". Between his daring acrobatics, pristine shooting skills, dashing good looks, and slapstick humor, Vash puts on a show that is enjoyed by all. If you're a die-hard anime fan or just a person looking for a good action flick, look no further. Trigun will fill every person's entertainment needs.

Summary: Trigun=COMEDY!!
Review: Most anime fans can guess what to expect from a show named Trigun. It made me think "tons of violence" and "ultra-cool". Fortunately, I was dead wrong. Trigun is a full-blown comedy! Don't get me wrong, there is violence and some cool, but it is balanced by the bumbling idiocy of the main character, Vash the Stampede. Trigun tells Vash's story. Set on a desert planet, Vash goes from town to town, gunslinging and righting wrongs. Unfortunately, he is a little clumsy, and he usually ends up destroying the town he is trying to save. I'm sure you can see how it's a comedy. Trigun is an overall good video, and most of the stories promote good morals. Vash's actions are heroic, even if he does mess up a lot. One of the downfalls is the bad language, which is relatively strong, even for anime. A good observer would notice, however, that Vash never utters a dirty word, only the bad guys. There is almost no blood, and the violence is just really intense. I would reccomend it if you are looking for something silly, or a good Western!

Summary: Hooked on Trigun worked for me :)
Review: I was hooked on Trigun from episode one. Vash, the sixty-billion double-dollar man, is a delightful mix of clownish antics, cool moves, and amazing dumb luck. Mixed in with all the comedy are subtle hints that Vash is not the fool he appears to be, and may even be super-human. Also, unlike most anime, Trigun's plots make pretty good sense. I highly recommend this anime.

Summary: Vash the Stampede Rules!
Review: The first time I watched the first episode on this tape, I was hooked. This incredible series is Action-packed and hilarious at the same time. Vash is a total dork when he's not fighting, but when he is, he is a stud. I really recoomend this series to anyone, anime lover or not.

Summary: For all who like to laugh hysterically
Review: Ummmmm....okay, maybe you won't all be laughing hysterically,not everyone's as easily amused as me. Bad points of this anime:cussing, blood. Good points: ...unique characters, funny, random,very unlikely hero. You expect Vash to be all big and bad, and he'san idiotic freak who tries to look up some poor girl's skirt whilethey're both being held hostage. Meryl refuses to believe that such adork can be Vash. Her partner, Milly, believes it but treats him likea normal person. (I really don't know what I was trying to say thereor how to phrase it). I was slightly disappointed when I found out itwas a dub (one of my friends lent it to me) but was delighted when Ifound out it wasn't censored. (Not that I like cussing and stuff likethat but I don't like the way censorship dilutes the story). When ifirst started watching it I was like, so what? But then I waslaughing hysterically. They did a good job picking the voice talents,they fit the characters quite well. Milly's voice made her seem evenditzier. Umm... right, I'm not good at explaining why, but BUYTHIS...

Summary: WOW What an anime!
Review: I bought this anime mainly on a fluke because i herd its name in an animerica artical for toonami that mistakenly sayed trigun was to be aired on Cartoon Network, but the ment to say Gundam Wing. So being the impulse buyer that i am, i had to try it out and boy was i right to buy this. Its is just so funny at sometimes and Vash is a raging geek, yet somehow pulls off this coolness that makes people like him. The music isnt like Gundam Wing's or Evangelion's, but it fits the show well. The animation is great and the opening is freaking awesome. So to sum up what im saying, BUY IT OR RENT IT NOW!

Summary: So much wasted potential
Review: I'm SO glad that I rented this dvd through netflix before making the decision to buy. As a fan of anime, this title caught my eye due to it's above average artwork and incredible word of mouth reputation. Before I say anything else, I will say this anime has pretty awesome artwork and excellent character design. Thats what makes me mad though. This anime could have been HUGE, were it given the proper treatment w/ plot, storyline, and character actions. This movie is so amazingly dopey-dumb it amazes me. Vash's image is shattered once he opens his mouth to spout some gee whilikers sentiment. I'm not some depraved ULTRA violence fiend, but this anime BEGGED for a harder edge to it. Those of you who are saying to yourselves, "but the plot is the substance, not the action" also make a mute point. The plotlines are just plain silly. If it's a mystery, it owes homage to Scoobydo mystery lineage. If it's action, it is a small step above the garbage they show on Saturday mornings. This review may sound a bit too angry, but I was really miffed that they boggled this, what could have been an AWESOME anime. Instead, they blew it. Hard.

Summary: Excellent Anime!
Review: I bought this anime two weeks ago and already I am hooked. Fun characters, beautiful animation (done by the same people who did Escaflowne - another great anime), great storyline, lots of humor, plenty of action... This isn't just another silly anime or pure-action-oriented piece of fluff. There is real depth here and it's developing quite beautifully. Who is Vash and where did he come from? How can a man who acts so stupid and goes out of his way NOT to hurt anyone have a 60 Billion double-dollar ransom on his head? If you like your anime with some depth, character development and a good dose of fun then this is a title worth checking out.

Summary: Comedic anime at its best!
Review: I bought this anime on a whim, knowing next to nothing about the plot and the characters. My reasons? It looked interesting and what I read about it made it sound like a good choice. I wasn't disappointed. Trigun is a very comical anime (don't let the cover fool you) which centers around Vash the Stampeded (aka the Humanoid Typhoon) with a $$60 billion dollar price on his head. Without getting into too many details, Vash has this bounty because every town he walks into inevitably gets destroyed. He is by no means a mean-spirited man, quite the opposite in fact, always outwitting his enemies either through skill or sheer luck (more-so the latter). His comedic actions and slap-stick answers to every situation hides a mysterious past however. The animation, while simple at times, is done very well, with good use of colors to offset the important characters from the everyday townsfolk (i.e. Vash wears a red overcoat). The music also has a decidedly western "twang" to it, with guitars setting the mood for many of the episodes. Overall one of the better anime series that I've seen recently. If you're in the mood to sit back and laugh and then be amazed, I highly recommend Trigun (I also recommend it if you're like me, who is a glutton for those "simple plot"-turned-serious-myterious-past animes ^_^). Whatever you favor, get this anime, it's well worth it.
