Trigun - Gung-Ho Guns (Vol. 4) (Geneon Signature Series)

Rating:
Summary: For the chosen, little ever stays the same...
Review: This particular DVD marks the beginning of the true plotline in the series. These three episodes are the deepest thus far and each one serves a purpose to the overall series. The first, "Escape from Pain", may seem like the adventures Vash and the other main characters have gone through before but this episode is deep in that it reveals the philosophical differences between Vash and Wolfwood. In effect, the two of them have very different ways of solving their problems and this episode highlights what will become one of the chief questions that arise in the series.

The next episode, "Diablo", is a complete departure from the earlier part of the series. Here the plot begins as a man tells Vash that he is going to die. This man is not interested in the massive reward or even revenge. I will not reveal any of his motives here however. This episode shows the serious side of the series and also the dilemmas of some of its main characters. This is the first time you may feel more emotionally drawn into Trigun and if you have been already, get ready for quite a trip.

The final episode, "Vash the Stampede", is mostly just a recap episode (explaining the four stars). As boring as it may be it does help string all the parts of the series thus far together and may get you to think in some ways you haven't before. There is also a bit of plot revealed as we determine a bit more of Vash's character so overall it is worth it to watch this episode.

Mostly I have to say that I am almost as impressed with this DVD as I am with the others. The final episode leaves a bit to be desired but overall even that episode can be helpful. The first two episodes only scratch the surface of the overall effectiveness of Trigun and hopefully will leave you obsessively saving money to get the next DVD. In all reality, Trigun is a discovery of many different things about what one should and shouldn't do. This DVD really illustrates that point very well. I hope you find this to be well worth your money. This series is truly one of the greatest out there and even with the recap episode this DVD beats the vast majority of other movies in existence.
