Review of Trigun

This is on my list of shows I show to those new to Anime. It utilizes several character archetypes that are unfamiliar (and can at first be jarring) to those accustomed to the storytelling language used in the West. Characters that at first seem to be very one dimensional and goofy eventually reveal hidden depths leading to some of the most moving and affecting moments in the genre. If you are new to the medium this is a very gentile introduction to some of the more outlandish elements of Anime here present in their most palatable forms. Don't give up onit before the halfway point, there is a hell of a tonal shift. Keep going and it will be well worth it.
