Review of Trigun

~possible SPOILERS~ I have written a review for this anime before, but it was terrible and Trigun deserves better, so here goes again. I own a good portion of this anime in the english dubbed version (including two VHS tapes, thats how long ago I fell in love with Trigun) and I find myself popping it in when I want to relax or wind down from a long day. It's the kind of anime you can't get enough of, I just love it. Story: I really enjoyed the story, but as it did get a 9/10 I did feel that it was lacking ina coupe places. First - I wanted to know more about the connection between Vash/Knives and the Plants. You never actually get a good look at the Plants, but I think the manga version expands on this part of the plot a bit (I have not read the manga, only thumbed through it at the bookstore). Two - there also is an obvious subliminal romance going on between Vash and Meral, I think this could have been developed more, but that might just be the kind of guy Vash is? Other then these two parts the rest of the anime is very entertaining story wise, and the filler episodes are minimal.

Art: As I mentioned eariler, Trigun was originally released on VHS, so you would expect older art styles. Trigun does have sort of a faded color scheme, like the technology of the time is showing through, but the way the show is done is very aesthetically pleasing. As I was watching the VHS the other day, I actually thought about how detailed and anatomically correct the art was.

Sound: One of my favorite parts of this anime is the sound!! Along with half the show on VHS/DVD I also have the soundtrack. The music is amazing, its a mixture of techno, rock, and country/wild west. I'd almost have to say the music alone is enough of a reason to watch the show.

Character: The characters in the show are unforgettable. Aside from the main characters, the secondary characters and villains are also colorful and well developed. You can't wait to watch the next episode just to find out who they're going to meet next. It received a 9/10 because I wanted to know more about Vash/Knives as well as the possible romance between Vash and Meral.

Enjoyment: 10! This show is comical, serious, and action packed! The story is a fantastic science fiction. The characters are great, and the music is iPod worthy.

Overall it gets a 10/10! Watch Trigun, you will love it, I promise!
