Review of Trigun
At first I had my doubts about this show. I held off on watching it until one of my best friends finally convinced me to watch it. Trigun starts off a little slow, and goes through a couple of filler episodes before the real show begins. The filler episodes in Trigun are more about character development and drawing character relationships rather than actual story. Trigun begins as a goofy comedy series that doesn't seem to take itself seriously. Halfway through, though, Trigun truly becomes an epic and memorable masterpiece with an extremely intense climax. The art in Trigun is obviously outdated since this show was created in1998, yet the art is better than most anime shows at the time.
The voice acting is also well done. I watched the English dub instead of the original Japanese voices, so I can't really compare them. I love Vash's voice, it's the same guy who did the voice of Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass!! Other character's voices are pretty memorable such as Milly's voice. The soundtrack is pretty decent as well, although not memorable.
The characters are one of the best elements of Trigun. Vash the Stampede, a legendary rouge with a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head, is extremely fleshed out in this show. All the characters seem to have great chemistry with each other.
A lot of the character in Trigun have made a lasting impression on me. Vash the Stampede is the childlike innocent badass, kind of like Goku, who possesses enormous strength. Milly is the strong, yet stupid and hilarious character who lacks common sense. Although Wolfwood is a secondary character to Vash, he is still a pretty damn interesting one. The Gung-Ho Gungs are one of the best and first rate criminal organizations featured in an anime. Legato Bluesummers, the unrelenting badass, Knives, an intelligent egocentric psychopath who is the brains behind the organization, and the Sniper. These are some of the more memorable chacaters of the show.
Overall, I had a great time watching this show and I highly recommend it to everyone!
