Review of Trigun

Summary: This one is fairly unique. It has that old animation style you'll find in classics such as Dragonball. What's interesting is the women who plays Merly also plays Bulma in Dragonball, so that is kind of neat. What I find absolutely fascinating about this anime is how much it ramps up from Episode 1 to 26. It starts as a lighthearted and silly show... little do you know it is building up to be something intense that you would never see coming. The backstory of Vash, Knives and the other characters is way out in left field and at the end I found myselfwondering how what started as a silly gun shooting western turned into Trigun. You will laugh, you will probably cry, and you will fall in love with these characters without even realizing it. All said, this is probably a must watch for people who want a deep philosophical and character driven story; that is it you can tolerate the older animation style and get through the fluffy beginning into the truly deep and epic story to come. Vash is a truly noble and unique character, one you likely won't encounter many times and who is worth spending 2 seasons with!
