Summary: Begins to evolve into the "Trigun" I know and love
Review: This video contains episodes 5-8 of the series. Essentailly, it contains two two-parters that begin to open up the continuity of the series. These episodes also begin to take on a darker, more sinister tone.

The first two episodes revolve around an entire town that sets out to capture Vash and collect the reward on his head in order to save their town. The writing is very good, drawing the townspeople as good people put into an impossible situation. The real Vash begins to emerge here, as well - the good-hearted wanderer who lives to promote love and peace and takes pains to avoid hurting anyone. Part one ends with a wonderful action sequence and Vash declaring the world made of 'love and peace.' One of the memorable moments of the series.

Part two, "Lost July" is one of my favorite episodes. Vash's mysterious past begins to unfold when a woman from his past (sort of) comes to get revenge on the man who she believes destroyed her town. The episode ends with her weeping in Vash's arms, unable to reconcile the destroyer of July with the gentle, unselfish man she meets. Emotionally satisfying.

The other two episodes detail Vash's confrontation with Brillance Dynamite Neon and his gang. That BDN is not one of the strangest villians in this show says quite a bit about the level of creativity here. Not as good as the previous episodes, but better than the first batch. This two-parter is essentially Die Hard on a train, serving up some nifty action sequences and situations, and giving us our first glance of Rem Savrem. Reccommended.

Summary: Vash is back, but not as Goofy. :(
Review: This was the Vash I was expecting in the fist Volume. Calm, cool, and with a sense of humor. He has Spiderman's personality, but not as bouncy. Jokes, but has a purpose, and can be strong and radiate power. BUT..... This was not the Vash I was expecting in the Second volume, after seeing the first volume. This volume is much more serious. The first Volume sets him up to be skilled, but just totally loony with moments of continence skill in a crises. All, in all, I like this DVD. The stories actually run together to form one long story. Buy Volume 3 with this volume. So you can see what happens after the the 3rd episode on this Disk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deep Thoughts
Review: Trigun keeps on being a great series. I can't wait to get them all. I enjoy the thoughts or qoutes at the end of the previews for the next show. I hope this series will keep being low on langauge and violence.

Summary: Trigun: Lost Past Dub
Review: Trigun, vol. 2: Lost Past, though dubbed, was still an excellent title. The dubbing, while it can't compare to the dubbing of Princess Mononoke, was decently performed. In this volume, a bit more of Vash's past is revealed, though not enough to actually understand. He's also still being followed by those two insurance agents. It seems like there could be a possible relationship in store for Vash and a very jealous insurance woman. This volume contains a very large enemy for Vash to face, as well as a ride on a huge train gone bad... This volume is also filled with "Love and peace!".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peace and Love
Review: Vash is back in three more adventures. My one and only problem, *sad eyes* only three more eps on this dvd? *shucks!* The eps are more thoughful we get a glimpse into Vash's past through his interaction with characters in the present. If the first DVD din't pique your interest, this one will. Funny, loveable, thoughful, goofy and sweet, it's almost a shame the blonde wonder isn't a really real person!

P&L

Peace and love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good! You must have already seen Vol.! :D
Review: Well, if you are reading this, then you must have already seen the first volume, "The $$60 Billion Man".

You won't be disappointed. BUT from now on there are only three episodes per DVD (except for the last volume).

Everyone says that this DVD is some sort of turning point, but it really isn't. The action gets upped a bit, but it still has a lot of great humor in it. The story doesn't really get much more serious until Vol. 4 (the halfway point).

Episode 5: Vash vs. an entire town Episode 6: First look at the 'lost technology' Episode 7: First episode of a 2 part series set on a train.
