Summary: Trigun- The very best
Review: Before i began i must tell you that i believe that Trigun is one of the best series ever vreated. I really enjoyed this book, it is the first in the series and is definetley one of the bests. This book introduces all of the characters and it has awesome action! If you like lots of action and guns then you should buy this book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the few best mangas of all time
Review: Even though it costs $15, it is a great (I want to say book, but it's not...) overall. Trigun #1 features four episodes from the anime series: #5: Hard Puncher, #7: B.D.N., #8: And Between the Wasteland and Sky, and #14: Little Arcadia. It is GREAT!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good manga, better anime
Review: I feel like I am going against all that is right in the world when I say that the anime of Trigun is definitely better than the manga. While some manga artists are able to skillfully capture fighting, I felt the fight scenes were very confusing (not to mention that all the sound effects are in Japanese, which can be rather perplexing also.) The manga also starts farther ahead than the anime. Volume one starts with Hard Puncher, and goes until Murder Machine.

Not to say that the whole manga is terrible. Frankly, I still enjoyed it very much. The "plants" have a better explanation, and the dialogue is much better also (yay, more curse words!). The story flows better, too (until you get to the fight scenes.) And it's a bit more philosophical in places also.

The Trigun manga IS the sort of thing that a Trigun fan should own, because the story diverges from the anime dramatically halfway through the story, and there is an extra Gung Ho Gun that never managed to make it into the anime. But none of that is in this volume, so it's not really a point here.

I did have a point to this review, somewhere, maybe...the point is that if you want to get into Trigun, watch the anime, but if you're a fan already, buy the manga. Just don't be surprised if all the characters are drawn very differently. That's another thing I forgot to mention.

Summary: LoserBoy
Review: i must say, i like the manga very much. Not only is it trigun, one of my favorite animes/manga, but it is also a very good price for its size. most manga that i get is the same price or more for one third of its volume. The fight scenes are a bit confusing though to first readers, and if i hadn't seen the anime first, i would have been very confused. It reminds me very much of clamp's x/1999 in the battle style, with many, many lines and complicated backrounds that take the reader's attention from the action. However, if that doesn't confuse you at all, then, buy the book! its very good. however, if you haven't seen the anime and are easily distracted by lots and lots of lines, then i wouldnt get this book.

Summary: Amazering! Lol...a review written by a true otaku!
Review: I picked it up and was amazed just by the size of it! Anyway, when i got it home, i couldn't put it down! Being a true Trigun fan at heart, quoting vash everywhere i go, this is a great book to read and i still pick it up, read it, and then read it again and again and again! Great job Yasuhiro Nightow!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trigun's here!
Review: One of thee best animes ever is finnaly released in it's natural form! The manga is chock full of Triguny goodness. Vash is even cuter in black and white! I wanted to read it soo bad, and now it's finally out. It has beautifull artwork and the characters are as funny as ever. Sure it is the first volume, and you already know what happens, but it's still a great manga, and I love seeing it the original way. If you liked the anime, than you'll surely like the manga. And if you've never seen the anime, then you'll LOVE the manga!
Anyway, it's a great anime and now it's a great manga as well. I hope you enjoy reading it!!

Summary: Excellent!!!!! ^.^
Review: S'been a while since i've last read a good manga this big by Dark horse, but I loved it. Too bad Wolfwood or Legato weren't in here. ^^; Anyways, it lost on star because all of the sound effects were in Japanese, but other wise it's a book that every Trigun fangirl should own!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A slightly different beast...
Review: The Trigun manga differs significantly from the anime, but they both share the supercool characters, great visuals, and mix of action, drama and humor that make Trigun unique. The action is hard to follow sometimes in this volume (I've heard that subsequent volumes get better), but the world of Gunsmoke makes more sense (and this after only one volume), and the book is a lot of fun. I hesitate to call either the manga or anime 'better'-- especially since the manga's still going on-- so just enjoy them both!
