Trigun was the second anime i ever watched which began my anime addiction ,the story and characters development had a potential that was perfectly fulfilled ,some people say that the anime's first half episodes are fillers but that's incorrect in a manner that each episode of them showed a fact about the true Vash we're moving the story along with ,and so if we started right from the seond half ,the anime would have been too crowded with incidents and new uncovered facts but rather than that these were spread along the entire episodes in an astonishing way
when they say "A Must To Watch" this anime really got it whole ,a classical cowboy-like era ,in a world that's all but ruins of what it used to be and the only symbol of its previous existance is the "lost technology" the current world survival revolves around and depends upon.. (show less)

After watching the first couple of episodes, you start to wish for some things. Like wouldn't it be great if he got really serious and badass, if he had this huge awesome background story, if the sci-fi plot was going to blossom.

Every single thing I hoped for for this anime came true and my expectations grew with each episode. And let me tell you, it never disappointed. Trigun has great action and plenty of humour. What makes it special is that it takes time to relfect on its characters, delving into their motives and morals, in a way that completely immerses the viewer.

It's stylish, cool, heartfelt and tragic. If you have not seen this anime, do it now. You'll be happy you did. (show less)

I first heard of this from my friend from school. It is his favorite anime and he recommended it to me. I finally got to watching it and was happy with the result. I enjoyed how the story eased in from being kinda silly wit hsmall incidents, to more serious with complicated situations. The characters were also very enjoyable, especially Wolfwood, which is one of my personal favorites. (i do like Vash, although he did cry a bit too much near the end) The fights were good, although a bit more sparse than i had hoped, but not a problem. The atmophere was also very intriging, what with the space wastland, space coyboy feel. The biggest issue i had with this anime was the philosophy it kept hammering into my head during the second half: itr is never right to kill. Now i dont know what anyone elses opinion on that is, thats ur own, but regardless it seemed to kinda crippled the anime a bit (as well as turn vash emo). Ive seen this philosophy in other anime too such as Rurouni Kenshin and Genadier but not as heavy as this one. Also i can kinda understand Kenshin wat with his past but vash was just crying over some words his past friend said (yes it is sad i emphasize, but it isnt an excuse to go bawl ur eyes out every time u cant save everyone, especially ur enemies) Anyway, broken philosophy aside (at least by my beliefs), Trigun was an excellent story with interesting characters and a great atmosphere.
