Synopsis:
A long time ago, a city that went by the name of July was destroyed
by a man known as Vash the Stampede. A $$60,000,000,000 bounty was placed
on his head because of that horrible incident, but the strange thing
was... no one died. A couple of years later, two insurance girls named
Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are ordered by the Bernadelli Insurance
Agency to follow Vash, and to keep him from causing damage to any more
towns. Discovering that Vash is actually a peace-loving and somewhat
idiotic guy who just happens to be a superb gunman proves quite a shock
for Meryl Stryfe. After seeing Vash help other people, Meryl and Milly
decide to stick around and make sure that he won't try to pull a fast
one on them. But Vash also has another objective -- to settle a score
with a man... a man who had murdered many of Vash's loved ones. This
is the same man who ruined Vash's whole life...
Review:
What makes an anime good? Is it the violence? the fighting? Well...
in my case, it's the variety.
Trigun has a great mixture of comedy, action, romance, and even some
philosophy. To tell you the truth, it seemed like a show only guys would
like the first time I saw it. But by the next day I already had two
wall scrolls up in my bedroom! The plot is pretty complicated. It will
keep you on your toes and you won’t totally get it until the last two
volumes or so. What's more, it's so addictive that it will have you
begging for more. Vash is a very likable character. We can all relate
to Vash because he is so... human.
The art and animation are simply amazing. While there is some blood
in there, half the time it’s just ketchup. Vash and a couple of women
receive a good amount of abuse, but there is nothing really explicit.
Both the dubbed and the subtitled versions are excellent. The scripts
don't differ much, and all the voices fit perfectly! Trigun is a fine
series that has something for everyone.
Miscellanies:
I highly recommend this anime to
anyone who loves sensitive (and cute, tee hee...) men. I absolutely
love this anime... and Vash! Thats right, I’m in love with an anime
character! ^_^
