Trigun Review

Posted by Kushal | Filed under Uncategorized

I don’t think there’s a single Top Ten Anime list which doesn’t include Trigun. As with any series it’s difficult to review without giving away major story points.

The series follows the adventures of a pair of err… well insurance assessors I guess. As riveting as that doesn’t sound I’m happy to say that this is one of the best anime series I’ve seen. The Insurance girls are on the trail of one Vash the Stampede, the most wanted outlaw on the planet. They are joined by this bumbling happy go lucky gun fighter on the left as they follow the trail from city to city.

The story takes place on a desert planet with sparse human settlements, apparently at the beginning of colonisation. Due to a lack of governmental organisation, each town’s legal problems are dealt with by the local sheriffs. In that way the towns and cities develop an old west type of structure with a wonderful mixtures of old and new technologies and weapons.

The characters are rich and clear and the bad-guys aren’t too 1 dimensional. Everyone has their own deep story and episode after episode the stories weave together and build up to the final confrontations and discoveries. Some say it’s better than Cowboy Bebop, some say it isn’t. The visuals are old and jump, even lazy in places, nowhere near the glamour of Bebop. Some of the acting is a little over cheesy and the main story develops a little slowly for my taste. But somehow it all mixes together to form a very addictive and entertaining animated series with some classic and unforgettable characters.

Wikipedia reports that Trigun X: The Movie is finishing pre-productions. Can’t Wait!
