I haven't watched anything as boring, overrated and overall just bad as Trigun in a long time. It was a long, slow and tedious journey that felt like it was longer than 26 episodes. Which was surprising to me, as most of what I've heard about Trigun over the years has been overwhelmingly positive...

Great art and an interesting universe shine through, but cliche philosophy, arbitrary swings between silliness and seriousness, and sluggish early character development create an identity crisis. The humor could have worked if paced more like Cowboy Bebop, and the series would have been stronger ...

Overview Trigun is a 26 episode anime from 1998 and is one of the definitive examples of the "Space Western" sub-genre that gained popularity in Japan in the late 1990s and in the United States in the early 2000s with Joss Whedon's Firefly. It takes place on a mostly desert planet called "Gunsmok...

Trigun delivers a thrill-ride that swings from slapstick shonen antics to bleak seinen drama, anchored by one of anime’s most compelling pacifist leads and a jazz-soaked Western homage that puts Sergio Leone to shame. Every member of the cast—from cross-toting priest Wolfwood to nihilistic Knives...

Trigun delivers unforgettable characters, brilliantly executed tonal shifts from comedy to devastating drama, and surprisingly excellent English dubbing that outshines the original Japanese. While the animation quality wildly fluctuates and the storytelling can be frustratingly cryptic about worl...

On the technical side of things, Trigun is as dichotomous as Vash himself when it comes to animation. The rough and tumble design is the result of an attempt to imitate American superhero comics within the framework of standard anime style. Interesting, but maybe not so great in execution. Trigun...

"I'm just killing the spiders to save the butterflies." 1998 saw three popular shows going down the unusual route of combining futuristic sci-fi and cowboy-filled westerns as the backdrop to their story. "Cowboy Bebop" stands out as the biggest name amongst the trio, while "Outlaw Star" has all b...

Trigun overcomes its ugly art, early formulas, and over-the-top gags with solid writing, a charismatic cast, and a gripping mid-series turn toward darker continuity. Yet the show falters when its hero’s pacifist creed is out-argued by the villain’s cold rationale, leaving key lore unexplained and...

“It's so big...Of course, that's because it's full of mercy!” “A man who takes a stand, though it scars him from head to toe, and that man is here” I first watched this anime on tv back when I was a kid that couldn't comprehend much of Trigun's philosophy, but still got the essentials of its mess...

Trigun’s greatest triumphs are its unforgettable cast—especially the contradiction-laden, self-sacrificial Vash—and an addictive soundtrack that swings from rousing western riffs to heartbreaking ballads, all wrapped in late-90s visuals that still charm. While Meryl feels merely functional, every...

This is a good no brainer anime that doesn't require much thought while watching, yet is so silly that it entertains on a primal level. Story: What story? The story consist of pretty much a guy going around kickin the bad guys asses. Art: Not amazingly detail or smooth, but the art matches the si...

This anime delivers solid no-brainer entertainment with its silly premise, exaggerated 90s art style, and memorable supporting characters like the machine gun-wielding priest. However, the paper-thin story, generic amnesiac hero, and overall lack of depth prevent it from achieving classic status,...

Trigun excels with tremendous character development, particularly Vash's unwavering moral principles against killing that surpass even Rurouni Kenshin's portrayal, supported by excellent guitar-based music and Johnny Yong Bosch's breakthrough dub performance. While the pacing can be jumpy and the...

Try to imagine a western sci-fi version of Rurouni Kenshin but more light hearted and you practically got Trigun. Despite how I described it in a nutshell, this series is pretty distinctive in its own rights. A good portion of the series will feel a little episodic like Cowboy Bebop in which this...
