Trigun Review

Maximum Greatness.

 Trigun was originally a manga series also known as Trigun Maximum. It was written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow and would later be serialized in three volumes starting from 1996 and ending in 1997. In 1998, the manga was adapted into an anime series by Madhouse Studios, which later became a classic hit. After finishing 26 episodes of gunslinging goodness, its time to review the adventures of Vash the Stampede.

STORY- The story follows Vash the Stampede, a legendary gunslinger with a bounty of 60,000,000,000 $$ (double dollars). Also known as the "Humanoid Typhoon", he has a reputation of leaving trails of mass destruction behind. Two insurance girls, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are sent to minimize the damage caused by Vash, only to get into trouble along the way. Throughout the journey, Vash will encounter fearsome enemies, try to stay out of trouble, and face his rather dark past.

Many challenges await Vash.

CHARACTERS- Despite his intimidating looks, Vash is a very kindhearted and peaceful person. Vash only uses his gun to only disarm enemies, not killing them. He doesn't encourage taking the lives of people and disapprove of suicide, and he can be silly at times. At first, Meryl can be seen as hateful towards Vash, but throughout the episodes, she comes to understand him and even shows a liking to him. Milly can be seen as clumsy and silly, but like Vash, she is kindhearted and her character develops as the story progress. Later in his journey, Vash meets up with a not your average priest called Nicholas D. Wolfwood, an gunman who is just as good as Vash, but somehow ends up in many of Vash's Misadventures.

PRESENTATION- Trigun was one of the best looking anime of the 90s, and still is today. Anime studio Madhouse have done a great job adapting manga into an anime. The environments, character models, and especially the weapon design are topnotch and detailed. Also, the audio in Trigun is neat as well. The voice work is great and well done and the soundtrack is amazing. Fitting the desert-like planet Gunsmoke , the soundtrack offers some really neat tracks. H.T., has to be one of the best opening themes in anime.

Meet a variety of colorful characters.

OVERALL-  I really enjoyed watching all 26 episodes of this action-packed adventure. Trigun is a must watch if you're looking for a fun, stylish anime. The story is interesting, the characters are great, and the presentation is rock solid. Its an anime classic.

- Trigun is mostly targeted at a teen audiance. There are some scenes of violence and profanity-
