Review of Trigun

Hello everyone this is Shawn aka TheKazeTrigger and welcome to my final review of the month MVM entertainment For this one we are taking a look one of the classic 90s animes Trigun. Now before I start this review am going to say I wasn't a fan of Trigun during my childhood days in fact I kinda hated it to be honest. While I like some things of Trigun I didn't like like the tone shifts and I didn't some of characters. Now I recently finished re-watching Trigun on DVD and well. Do I now think Trigun is a great classic show that I underestimated back then ordo I still think Trigun is a an another 90s shows that only got its love because of nostalgia reasons instead of being a good show? Well let's find out
Story.
The story of Trigun follows Vash the Steampede who is a wanted criminal with a sixty billion double dollar bounty on his head. The reason is that he’s a deadly villain who lays wastes to that those that appose him and destroying cites just for fun that earns him the title the humanoid typhoon. He leaves a trail of death and despair wherever he goes.
Due to Vash's destruction the Bernardelli Insurance Society tasks Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson to find the Vash the Steampede in order to evaluate insurance claims and attempt to minimise the damage of that set city.

Now the story of Trigun is complex at times. While the story was very silly, goofy and cheesy in the first half of the show but once you the show transactions to the second left by introducing certain elements in the show. The show becomes rather dark and it can go into really dark territory at times. Also, this show has some tone changes. However, unlike other animes such as Shigatsu and Akame ga Kill where they have problems at tone changing. I think this one fits because you can tell they could juggle both ones and they work both ways in both series. So, I think Trigun doesn't fall in the same traps of other anime of its kind. Also, yes I know this show has a few unanswered questions and there is one or two plotholes but overall in the long running schemes of things. Unless you want to read the source material of this you don't need those answers. The show is trying to portray the story that it wants to and it does it almost flawlessly.110

Characters.
The characters of Trigun are really good in my opinion.
Am just going to say this right now Vash The Steampede is one of my favorite anime protagonist in any anime. He can be really funny at times with his humour but the same time he can be a utter badass. Not to mention his characterization is just wonderful seeing him transform from a friendly joker to a very deadly killer who has a bunch of emotional problems.
Overall Vash The Steampede is a great and lovable character.
Next up we have the insurance girls Miley and Meryl.
I really like these two because I feel they are very genuine with the emotions and also they honestly a great duo and great comic relief characters.
Lastly we a character that not interlude until episode 8 Wolfwood who is a priest with a very good of fire arms and very much a boil to Vash.
While Vash is one of my favourite anime protagonists Wolfwood is one of my favourite anime characters’ period and to be honest he made Trigun a much better experience especially on my re-watch of the series. Not to mention I really adore his personally and motivations in general.
Overall I really adore Wolfwood
The rest of the beyond those four are really good and they made the world harsh but understandably harsh to some degree. You can believe some of the stuff that people do despicable or kinda as they are and you will defiantly feel for them and in the current mindset.
Overall the characters in Trigun are really great.
9.5/10
Art/Animation.

Unfortunately, the visuals of Trigun are not that great at all.
If you compare shows like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Slayers, Nadesico and Fushigi Yuugi Trigun didn't aged as well.
There are some spotty scenes that you can tell the budget was probably running out. Not to mention Trigun re-used animation at times. It's not as bad as something as Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing but still kinda of an issue even for its time.
It didn't bother me too much but I know it can bother some viewers especially the younger ones so I just thought I would mention it and it was one big flaw that I have with Trigun in general
Overall the visuals were kinda lacking
6.5/10

Sound.
Am going to be real honest I wasn't a fan of Trigun soundtrack. While the soundtrack of Trigun was good on its own and it fits the western theme of the show I just don't find the soundtrack of Trigun to be impactful compare to other anime from the 90s.
Don't get me wrong the soundtrack for Trigun is good but for me I won't be listening all the time.
The opening theme is a good listen as it hypes up the episode and while the ending theme of Trigun is mediocre and kinda forgettable and not to mentions its really out of place.
Now for Dub or Sub.
The dub for the show is top notch for the most part. While voice actors for the main characters were great some of the side characters were kinda stiff in my opinion.
Also, the dub can be a bit cheesy at times especially the first half.
Overall Trigun has a good dub but it's not as impactful as the dubs for Cowboy Bebop and Slayers in my opinion.
7/10
Final Thoughts.
Trigun is a great show. While I may prefer Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star Trigun this series is over the top fun and emotional gripping.
It has a great revenge story that is well told, great and loveable characters, decent visuals along with a soundtrack that I was not a fan off but still was pretty good for what it is.
I use to hate this show when I was younger but now I can say is I adored this show and now it become a favourite of mine. Like they say all re-watches are powerful.
I give Trigun a 8/10
