Summary: The volume that got me hooked on Trigun
Review: This is by far the best installment of Trigun so far; a real treat!

The first episode picks up where the last one left off, as Vash must fight to save a hijacked vessel headed straight for a canyon. This is a pivotal episode, for two reasons: 1) we discover that Vash is not freakishly immortal, as he appeared to be in previous episodes - you will actually be worried this time ; 2) we dive into Vash's past once again, as his reasons for never killing and the haunting silhouette of a woman become more defined.

The second episode marks the appearance of one of the most stylish characters ever: Dr. Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a very unconventional priest who carries around a portable confessional (lol) and one of the coolest weapons I have ever seen. He is Vash's match in every way: class, style, wit, charm and even marksmanship and occasional silliness. He is the only character so far to have any real chemistry with Vash, and together they create some amazing scenes, with a balance of comradeship, friendly antagonism and understanding. There is an absolutely beautiful scene in which Vash, seeing Wolfwood perform an act of kindness, smiles sweetly, and Wolfwood remarks: "So you can smile like that, too. It had me worried. You're always smiling, real friendly, but your smile is so empty it hurts to watch it. You're hurting like crazy and you're hiding it behind that grin."

The third episode gives you a very funny, pseudo-zen glimpse of Vash's everyday routine (you get to see him witout the red coat for the first time), and some more Vash-Wolfwood improvised collaboration. It's impossible not to love those two.

It's definetely darker than before, but it's a change for the better, as the viewer gets more engrossed in the series. And for all the added suspense and drama, there's still enough slapstick to make you laugh out loud. Trigun finds its balance with this volume. That's it, I'm hooked!

Summary: One of the best volumes
Review: This is one of my favorites.

Basically this DVD introduces you to the character of Wolfwood the Priest. Vash meets a rather jovial priest in his travels, but of course nothing is as it seems. The first episode on this DVD, however, is the conclusion of the two-part series that began on "Lost Past".

This is probably the last of the DVDs that is totally devoted to slapstick comedy. The rest of the series has comedy in it, but just not as much. But the story makes up for that at least ^_^.

Unforunately the DVDs still don't include very many extras. Just a few weapon designs in this one I think. Pioneer should have followed Bandai's lead. Cowboy Bebop had a bunch of great interviews/music videos/etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trigun is a unique series (see review to find out why!)
Review: To any anime fans out there that have seen the entire Cowboy Bebop series and were greatly disappointed w/ how the series progressed and subsequently ended (i.e. me) Trigun does exactly the opposite. Well, not exactly, but I had really high expectations before seeing the Trigun series, and was a little disappointed w/ the lack of action and the mainly comic plots of the first 7 episodes or so. But Trigun just keeps getting stronger and stronger and much more interesting. I never read the manga, but the anime series (as it goes on) is very unpredictable, the background behind Vash the Stampede is totally out there, and the action just gets cooler and cooler as the series progresses. The last 2 episodes just were AWESOME. I highly recommend getting the DVDs, Pioneer did a terrific job... well whoever Pioneer got the DVDs from, and the menus and features are superb.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What's New in Volume 3
Review: Trigun continues to entertain and Pioneer continues to deliver the highest quality product. This DVD shines with thoughtfully designed chapters (which allow you to jump past the intros, intermissions, and credits straight to the content) and the highest quality video and sound. The picture is crisp, with the deep reds and blues that were clearly intended for its presentation.

In this particular series, after wrapping up the cliffhanger (literally) from the end of Volume 2, a new character foil is introduced in the chronicle of Vash the Stampede. Wolfwood, whose history is only hinted at, develops a comraderie with Vash that yields mutual curiousity and occasional sparks between the two. Overall, you'll be left with the traditional Trigun feel - tough times, mostly nobody got hurt, and hidden internal turmoil on the part of Vash. More clues are dropped about his origins...and more allusions to a love interest...

Thumbs up!
