Review of Trigun

Trigun review You know you better Read this!! Just do it! note: For the sake of a spoiler-free review I'm gonna have to be a little bit less specific on some areas. characters cons- I felt like there should have been more back-story when it came to some of The Final Evil bad guys' minions. It was never explain why these guys did what they did. It was kinda like the authors said "This is the way things are. why? because I said so!" (Again this isn't really a con when taken into consideration this is only a 25 episode anime and it would probably interrupt the flowof the story if there were to many back-flashes)

pros- The cast of three to four main characters is fairly small.
- The Main cast is well defined and developed throughout the course of the anime.
- Interesting, unique, and lovable character design. I mean who doesn't love the doughnut fanatic, silly, playboy Vash the Stampede.
- The supporting main characters did a great job of helping to developing Vash in various parts of the anime.

Story

cons- Ok, its plot kinda lame...I know I was expecting something..... more? But then again this is an 90's style anime and while its not gonna have you hands over heels; its -> (continued in pros)

pros- Very well written and simple explains everything it need to without any problems.
- Again, I like the way the story is developed. It starts with Fillerish episodes to introduce and starts to develop the characters; then it slowly and seamlessly morphs into an more serous anime along the way.
- Although its implies several time gaps between episodes. It never really seem like the timeline is rushed or episodic.

comedy

cons- HAHahahhaahahaha.... Wait?! You really thought I'd be able to come up with a con on this one; Like I actually have a sense of humor.......

pros- Absolutely Hilarious. Of course it does dies down in the second half of the anime when things start to develop and get more serous.

sound/music

cons-Sound effect may seem cheesy at times
-(I personally didn't like the) OP/ED

pros- The English dub is one that is well written and the cast is well suited for the characters. Especially considering when it was made.
- the "cheesy" BGM(background music) and sound effects; for the most part added to the "Western era" feel.

animation/Art

cons-It was made in the 1990's, its style of animation is outdated

pros- On the flip side, I feel the animation adds to the whole western feel of it and it's a trait that I feel refines its individuality.

Overall/closing thoughts
This is one of those animes that got me into anime in the first place. Trigun is and always will be on my list of favorite animes of all time. It's one of those shows I knew I was gonna love from the first episode and that I knew that I'd be sad once I finished it. I got to say that after watching anime I'll never ever be able to say that six shooter isn't the coolest weapon on earth or any where else for that matter.
