🌵 Trigun – Guns, Laughter, and the Price of Mercy@zeruxanime200d
Trigun looks like a wild sci-fi western at first glance—but beneath the gunfights and comedy lies a thoughtful story about pacifism, responsibility, and the cost of choosing kindness in a brutal world. Originally aired in 1998 and created by Yasuhiro Nightow, this anime balances chaos and heart in a way few series ever manage.
When I first watched Trigun, I laughed a lot. Then, without warning, it made me stop and think.
🔫 Vash the Stampede: The Man Who Refuses to Kill
Vash the Stampede is known as the most dangerous outlaw on the planet, blamed for massive destruction and carrying an enormous bounty. But when you finally meet him, he’s nothing like the legend—goofy, clumsy, and obsessed with donuts.
Behind that smile, however, is a man carrying an impossible belief: that no life should be taken, no matter the cost. In a lawless desert world ruled by guns, that ideal is constantly tested.
🌪️ A Desert World Full of Consequences
The planet Gunsmoke is unforgiving—dusty towns, scarce resources, and people hardened by survival. Every episode introduces new characters, each shaped by loss, fear, or desperation.
What makes Trigun special is that it never treats violence lightly. Every shot fired leaves emotional weight behind, and every choice has consequences.
🎭 Comedy, Pain, and Philosophy
The anime masterfully shifts tones. One moment you’re laughing at absurd situations, the next you’re confronted with serious questions:
Is it right to protect everyone, even those who do harm?
Can ideals survive in a cruel world?
How much pain can one person carry for the sake of others?
As the story unfolds, the humor slowly gives way to something heavier—and far more powerful.
💫 A Classic About Choosing Compassion
Trigun is ultimately a story about empathy. About refusing to become a monster, even when the world demands it. It’s funny, tragic, philosophical, and deeply human.
If you’re looking for an anime that mixes action with meaning—and leaves you reflecting long after it ends—Trigun is a timeless classic worth revisiting.
A story of thieves and bounty hunters? - I'm definitely interested. Here we are again watching a movie without having seen the anime before and Trigun is one of 26 episodes. Fortunately, you don't have to watch it to understand and enjoy this crazy, action-packed film. I find it amazing to explore these things, and many times one refrains from watching a movie just because it belongs to a specific anime that we haven't seen. Trigun is an action story, as I said, with comedy and maybe a touch of fiction. What I can tell you is that it is super entertaining.
Una historia de ladrones y cazarrecompensas? - definitivamente me interesa. Acá estamos de nuevo viendo una película sin haber visto el anime previo y es que Trigun es uno de 26 episodios. Afortunadamente no hace falta verlo para entender y disfrutar de este film alocado y lleno de acción. Explorar estas cosas me parece increíble y es que muchas veces uno se abstiene de ver alguna película solo por el hecho de que pertenecen a un anime en especifico que no hayamos visto. Trigun es una historia de acción, como ya les dije, con comedia y quizás con unos toques de ficción. Lo que si les digo es que es super entretenida.
This story begins with a bank robbery carried out by Gasbag, a dangerous thief whom Vash, our protagonist, let go. To be understood Vash is a kind of vigilante who shares two personalities, that of a harmless fool and that of an extremely lethal guy but who is overly pacifistic. It was this characteristic that caused Gasback to flee and the plot to kick off 20 years later. It turns out that there is a town, Macca, where its mayor is offering 300 million for the head of this thief (there is history between this mayor and the thief) and he knows that he will most likely show up there soon.
Esta historia comienza con un robo a un banco llevado a cabo por Gasbag, un peligroso ladrón al que Vash, nuestro protagonista, dejó ir. Para que se entienda Vash es una especie de justiciero que comparte dos personalidades, la de un tonto inofensivo y la de un tipo extremadamente letal pero que es en exceso pacifista. Esta característica fue la que hizo que Gasback huyera y la trama arrancara 20 años después. Resulta que hay una ciudad, Macca, en donde su alcalde está ofreciendo 300 millones por la cabeza de este ladrón (hay historia entre este alcalde y el ladrón) y es que sabe que muy probablemente se aparezca en dicho lugar pronto.
The thing is that the city in question is filled with bounty hunters when the news of what is asked for the head of Gasbag is known. Among them is a woman named Amelie, she is a key part of the story and at the end of it we will know things that give an unexpected twist to the plot. The movie itself is super fun to watch, it has a lot of funny interactions that when combined with the action that emerges suddenly always end up turning out pretty well. The movie in the hour and a half that lasts does not bore you because at all times things are happening, there is always a fight, a shooting, an argument, everything can be very chaotic and funny at the same time.
La cosa es que la ciudad en cuestión se llena de cazarrecompensas al conocerse la noticia de lo que se pide por la cabeza de Gasbag. Entre ellos hay una mujer llamada Amelie, ella es parte clave de la historia y es que al final de la misma sabremos cosas que le dan un giro inesperado a la trama. La película en si es super divertida de ver, tiene muchas interacciones cómicas que al combinarlas con la acción que emerge de repente siempre terminan resultado bastante bien. La película en la hora y media que dura no te aburre porque en todo momento están pasando cosas, siempre hay una pelea, un tiroteo, una discusión, todo puede ser muy caótico y gracioso al mismo tiempo.
As I said before, the film has an interesting plot twist towards the end which makes the story have a little more depth. When you watch the movie you can notice that some characters know each other, maybe this comes from the anime but when it comes to developing this plot it doesn't affect anything for its understanding, you can see that there is some lore but not knowing it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the story. It also happens because here you are given the necessary context to understand everyone that appears on screen so you won't be lost or lost. The plot is super linear and basic, like anything action-packed, you know exactly what's going to happen and maybe how it's going to end.
Como dije antes, el film tiene un plot twist interesante hacia el final lo que hace que la historia tenga un poco más profundidad. Cuando ves la película puedes notar que algunos personajes se conocen entre si, puede que esto venga del anime pero a la hora de desarrollar esta trama no afecta en nada para su entendimiento, se ve que hay cierto lore pero desconocerlo no afecta el que se pueda disfrutar de la historia. Pasa también porque acá te dan el contexto necesario para entender a cada uno que sale en pantalla así que perdido o perdida no vas a estar. La trama es super lineal y básica, como cualquier cosa llena de acción, sabes perfectamente lo que va a pasar y quizás como va a terminar.
What drives the story? - I would say revenge. Gasbag's revenge for what happened 20 years ago, the mayor's revenge for the past he has with this thief, Amelie's motivations which are very valid and personal and Vash's to finish what he couldn't do in that bank 20 years ago. All this makes the story never falters. As for the animation, it is in charge of Madhouse, personally I like very much what this studio does, at times it is very classic with their designs but also they always make everything very fluid and dynamic to watch. The action scenes are very top notch and the facial expressions are very well done, I pay a lot of attention to that.
Que mueve la historia? - diría que la venganza. La venganza de Gasbag por lo que pasó hace 20 años, la venganza del alcalde por el pasado que tiene con este ladrón, las motivaciones de Amelie que son muy válidas y personales y la de Vash por terminar lo que no pudo hacer en aquel banco hace 20 años. Todo esto hace que la historia nunca decaiga. En cuanto a la animación pues está a cargo de Madhouse, personalmente me gusta mucho lo que hace este estudio, por ratos es muy clásico con sus diseños pero también siempre todo lo hacen muy fluido y dinámico de ver. Las escenas de acción son muy top y las expresiones faciales están. muy logradas, me fijo mucho en eso.
A great movie, if you like action, mayhem, hundreds of thieves misbehaving doing what they want, shootings, chases, beatings and at the same time a very fresh comedy then this film is for you. It has it all. It makes me want to watch the anime and everything. 100% recommended. I leave you the trailer below, have you seen this anime? - If so, let me know in the comments.
Una gran película, si te gusta la acción, el caos, cientos de ladrones mala conductas haciendo lo que quieren, los disparos, persecuciones, golpes y al mismo tiempo una comedia muy fresca pues este film es para ti. Lo tiene todo. Me dan ganas de ver el anime y todo. 100% recomendada. Les dejo el tráiler por acá abajo. ¿Ustedes han visto este anime? - si es así dejamelo saber en los comentarios.
Derivative unfaithful to original material, with added elements from Dune (e.g. giant sand worms).
Unlike original "Trigun" (1998) and "Trigun - Badlands Rumble" movie (2010), this show is devoid of humour, style, adventure, character development, and everything that could make it worth watching.
No continuity of the story either.
This show sells transhumanism, helplessness and despair, with grotesque drama and violence (e.g. young girls ripped apart limb by limb, with a lot of blood; supporting character killed just for dramatic effect, etc.). Absurdity of the story is excessive (e.g. "Matrix" for intelligent plants, encased in glass jars to produce energy.). Viewers need much suspension of disbelief, and motivation for effort to do so.
Scientist experiment on orphans children to enhance them with drugs and mechanical implants. Lab-grown fetuses. Merging man with machines.
Antagonist is revealed as extreme environmentalist who wants to eradicate humanity to save plants.
Protagonist is miserable, pathetic and weak. People die due to his actions.
(In original series protagonist is completely different, cool and strong, often saving people.)
Incredibly, even graphics looks worse than quarter of century old original series (e.g. ugly main character's prosthetic arm).
It would have been a bad show on its own, but comparing to prior "Trigun" it is actually awful.
Refreshed graphics and a nice story arc that captures all essential properties of the original series, with multiple aspects of moral dilemma well presented.
Excellent for what it is, which is grotesque action-adventure comedy in a wild-west-like sci-fi world. Soundtrack matches the graphics style perfectly, creating a right atmosphere. Entertaining. Funny insurance girls (supporting characters). Interesting protagonist with unexpected morality trait. Moral dilemmas arising from his principal moral position are thoroughly explored. As the show progresses, comedy gradually gives way to drama as story becomes more serious and more tragic. Sci-fi component is weak but it does not overwhelm the story.
Hello everyone, dear community of The Anime Realm. I hope you are feeling great.. I want to talk to you today about a new anime, this time I will give you my opinions of the series: Trigun Stampede.. an anime that I would name with only one phrase: curious. This series was like discovering new layers in a story that you already knew, but in a way that you didn't expect.. from the beginning, I think that any old fan of this anime can feel a lot of nostalgia, I personally hadn't seen it complete, I had seen it in small parts, the previous version.. and that's why I decided to give it a chance... I think it can satisfy in a good way the fans of the original series, but more importantly, it can attract a new audience in a very pleasant way.. the story introduces us to Vash, who is known to be the human typhoon, or something like that.. in this version it gives a more philosophical touch to his character, I felt him much more deep and reflective... For me this series is not just action and adventure, here we get to know Vash much more.. his character development is amazing, unlike many other action or adventure anime, where the supporting characters can seem flat or just decorative, this series gives each main character a clear purpose and a unique world view, both Vash and his companions are having a quite interesting character development....
I felt that they are all there with a specific intention, they have some pretty deep foundations that certainly add a lot to the dynamics of the story and make us the viewers can connect with them much more... Wolfwood, in particular, stands out a lot because of his moral struggles and the weight of his past... this specific character is clear that he is not just there to support Vash, but has his own path to follow, his own demons and his own decisions to make... The antagonists are also well developed, they offer interesting perspectives that blur the basic line between good and evil, they are not completely black or white.. I found myself empathizing many times with these characters...although superficially they may seem like typical villains, they have some depth that went a long way in introducing us to characters that are quite different from what we are used to.
Hola a todos, querida comunidad de The Anime Realm. Espero que se encuentren genial.. quiero hablarles hoy de un nuevo anime, esta vez les daré mis opiniones de la serie: Trigun Stampede.. un anime que yo nombraría con una sola frase: curioso. Esta serie fue como descubrir nuevas capas en una historia que ya conocías, pero de una manera que no te esperabas.. desde el principio, creo que cualquier fanático antiguo de este anime puede sentir mucha nostalgia, yo personalmente no lo había visto completo, lo había visto por pequeñas partes, la versión anterior.. y fue por eso mismo que decidí darle una oportunidad.. Creo que puede satisfacer de buena manera a los fanáticos de la serie original, pero lo más importante, puede atraer a un público nuevo de una muy grata manera.. la historia nos presenta a Vash, que es conocido por ser el tifón humano, o algo así.. en esta versión se le da un toque más filosófico a su personaje, lo sentí mucho más profundo y reflexivo.. Para mí esta serie no es solo acción y aventura, aquí conocemos mucho más a Vash.. su desarrollo de personaje es increíble, a diferencia de muchos otros animes de acción o aventuras, donde los personajes secundarios pueden parecer planos o simplemente decorativos, esta serie le da a cada personaje principal un propósito claro y una visión del mundo única, tanto Vash como sus acompañantes van teniendo un desarrollo de personaje bastante interesante..
Yo sentí que todos están ahí con una intención específica, tienen unos fundamentos bastante profundos que sin duda aportan mucho a la dinámica de la historia y hacen que nosotros los espectadores podamos conectar mucho más con ellos.. Wolfwood, en particular, destaca mucho por sus luchas morales y el peso de su pasado.. este personaje en específico queda claro que no está ahí solo para apoyar a Vash, sino que tiene su propio camino que seguir, sus propios demonios y unas decisiones propias que tomar.. Los antagonistas también están bien desarrollados, ofrecen perspectivas interesantes que borran la línea básica entre el bien y el mal, no son completamente negros o blancos.. Me encontré empatizando muchas veces con estos personajes.. aunque superficialmente pueden parecer villanos típicos, tienen cierta profundidad que sirvió mucho para presentarnos a unos personajes bastante diferentes a los que estamos acostumbrados.
Although I must tell you that the first few episodes are a bit challenging in terms of pacing, I'll tell you that right off the bat, as the story throws some things at you a bit quickly... characters, locations, sudden events, and it can feel like a wave of information that you don't quite understand. I may find this difficult for some people and not allow them to get hooked right into the story...I feel like it felt a little rushed the way things were told...that they tried to cover a lot of ground in very few episodes. I think that makes it a little difficult for viewers to understand all the context that's going on and you have to keep a close eye on things so you don't get lost, but after this rushed start, things do settle down...
Soon the story reaches a proper pace, it takes a more balanced pace and allows us to connect more with the characters on a deeper level.. and we get into the plot and the objectives of the main characters in a good way, I think it's really worth going through those first episodes because the narrative developments are quite rewarding... As for the animation, Trigun Stampede uses a 3D or CGI animation that, let's be honest, can be a hit or a serious mistake in anime... but here is something quite innovative and in many occasions visually impressive... the orange studio did a fantastic job mixing all this traditional 2D anime aesthetics with CGI giving a unique touch that I personally felt very fresh... I think for some moments it's hard to get used to but once you're in it completely you realize that it elevates the experience a lot, there are many battle scenes that are full of details and above all you feel a lot of fluidity in the movements...
I really tend to lean more towards classic animation styles... I'm a super fan of 2D animation but I must admit that the CGI in this series I really liked, it allowed some sequences to be incredibly animated and feel super fluid and dynamic... Some gunfights or melee battles felt amazing, it certainly gives you an immersive feeling that is bold and obviously may not be to everyone's taste but I quite liked it... I feel it worked in a good way. If all 3D anime had half the effort and affection that this animation has, well, there would be a lot of good ones....
Aunque les debo decir que los primeros episodios resultan un poco desafiantes en términos de ritmo, eso se los digo de una vez, ya que la historia te lanza algunas cosas de manera un poco rápida.. personajes, ubicaciones, eventos repentinos, y puede parecer como una ola de información que no terminas de comprender muy bien. Puedo que esto sea difícil para algunas personas y que no les permita engancharse directamente a la historia.. yo siento que se sintió un poco apresurado la manera en la que se contaron las cosas.. que intentaron cubrir mucho terreno en muy pocos episodios. Creo que eso dificulta un poco que los espectadores entiendan todo el contexto que está pasando y tienes que estar muy atento a las cosas para no perderte, pero luego de este inicio apresurado, las cosas se van calmando..
Pronto la historia llega a un ritmo adecuado, toma un paso más equilibrado y permite que conectemos más con los personajes a un nivel más profundo.. y que nos adentramos de buena manera en la trama y en los objetivos de los protagonistas, creo que realmente vale la pena pasar por esos primeros episodios porque los desarrollos narrativos son bastante gratificantes.. En cuanto a la animación, Trigun Stampede emplea una animación 3D o CGI que, seamos honestos, puede ser un acierto o un grave error en los animes.. pero aquí resulta algo bastante innovador y en muchas ocasiones visualmente impresionante.. el estudio orange hizo un trabajo fantástico al mezclar toda esta estética tradicional del anime 2D con el CGI dando un toque único que yo personalmente sentí muy fresco.. Creo que por algunos momentos es difícil acostumbrarse pero una vez que estás dentro completamente te das cuenta que eleva mucho la experiencia, hay muchas escenas de batalla que están llenas de detalles y sobre todo se siente mucha fluidez en los movimientos..
Yo realmente suelo inclinarme más hacia los estilos de animación clásica.. yo soy super fan de la animación 2D pero debo reconocer que el CGI de esta serie me gustó bastante, permitió que algunas secuencias estuvieran increíblemente animadas y se sintieran super fluidas y dinámicas.. Algunos tiroteos o batallas cuerpo a cuerpo se sentían increíbles, sin duda te transmite una sensación inmersiva que es audaz y que obviamente puede ser que no sea del gusto de todos pero a mí me gustó bastante.. siento que funcionó de una buena manera. Si todos los animes en 3D tuvieran la mitad del esfuerzo y cariño que tiene esta animación, bueno, hubiera muchos buenos..
The soundtrack to this series also deserves recognition.. the music is often one of the most rewarding things you can find in this anime.. It highlights every interesting and special moment in a beautiful way, amplifying the emotional points of the series without ever overshadowing the action or dialogue... it's one of those occasions where the music doesn't just feel like cute background noise, it feels as essential to the narrative as the characters themselves.... There's a piano piece that's incredibly beautiful, it reappears right at key moments, it's always tying in with Vash's past and his internal struggles.. i think it's among the best in the entire series.
Even the energetic atmosphere of the action sequences are accompanied by excellent music.. if you're a fan of anime soundtracks, this one is going to stay with you for a long time.. you'll definitely have to seek out every single one of those songs because they're so worth it. Speaking of the story itself, this version shares its roots with the original anime, but in a way reimagines the story, adding new layers of complicity.. it's a series that's not afraid to raise potential questions.. Vash as a character is deeply introspective, always struggling with the scars of his past and the decisions that have brought him to that point.. unlike many other heroes, he doesn't have all the answers.. he constantly questions his purpose and the cost of his ideals and is questioning what to do or what not to do many times.. This theme resonates a lot throughout the episodes, each character has to end up reflecting on their own purpose and the impact their actions will have.. that's a very human thing within this sci-fi series.
La banda sonora de esta serie también merece un reconocimiento.. la música es a menudo una de las cosas más gratificantes que puedes encontrar en este anime.. Resalta cada momento interesante y especial de una manera hermosa, amplificando los puntos emocionales de la serie sin llegar a eclipsar nunca la acción o el diálogo.. es una de esas ocasiones en las que la música no se siente solo como ruido de fondo lindo, se siente tan esencial para la narrativa como los personajes mismos.. Hay una pieza de piano que es increíblemente hermosa, que reaparece justo en momentos clave, siempre está enlazada con el pasado de Vash y sus luchas internas.. creo que es de las mejores de toda la serie.
Incluso la atmósfera enérgica de las secuencias de acción están acompañadas de una música excelente.. si eres fan de las bandas sonoras de los animes, esta va a quedarse contigo mucho tiempo.. seguro que tendrás que buscar cada una de esas canciones porque valen mucho la pena. Hablando de la historia en sí, esta versión comparte sus raíces con el anime original, pero de cierta manera reimagina la historia, añadiendo nuevas capas de complicidad.. es una serie que no teme plantear preguntas potenciales.. Vash como personaje es profundamente introspectivo, siempre está luchando con las cicatrices de su pasado y las decisiones que lo han llevado hasta ese punto.. a diferencia de otros muchos héroes, no tiene todas las respuestas.. constantemente cuestiona su propósito y el costo de sus ideales y está planteándose qué hacer o qué no hacer muchas veces.. Este tema resuena mucho a lo largo de los episodios, cada personaje tiene que acabar reflexionando sobre su propio propósito y el impacto que tendrán sus acciones.. eso es algo muy humano dentro de esta serie de ciencia ficción.
This anime is not at all afraid to ask tough questions or present the characters with moral dilemmas that don't have easy answers at all... I really liked this, as it goes beyond a simple action adventure and turns it into something that really makes you think, and I love that... they always manage to keep it from being preachy. . the questions feel like a natural extension of the characters' journeys not something tricky added just to force you to think in a basic way, on the contrary, various answers are presented that may not be entirely morally correct but ultimately end up being logical.... Ultimately, I feel that this anime is quite a journey, certainly worth it, and I recommend it.
It's not perfect, but it's very ambitious.. it manages to hit some very high points, the initial pacing issues are quickly balanced by solid storytelling and innovative character development and animation... If you are a fan of action anime with touches of sci-fi and some philosophical perspective, you will surely enjoy this series a lot.. and for old Trigun fans, this reinvention gives new life to a classic story.. if you haven't given it a chance, I would recommend you do, you may end up very surprised... I finished the series feeling very satisfied... if I had to give it a rating, I would give it an 8.5/10. It's a series that dares to be different, is innovative and accomplishes a lot along the way. It shows that sometimes reimagining things or stories could make them much more resonant than before... you can improve it like you have no idea. And that's all for today, I'll leave you the intro below, see you in the next reviews! Byebye
Este anime no teme para nada en aspecto de preguntas difíciles o presentar a los personajes unos dilemas morales que no tienen respuestas para nada fáciles.. esto a mí me gustó mucho, ya que va más allá de una simple aventura de acción y lo convierte en algo que realmente te hace pensar, y eso a mí me encanta.. siempre se las arreglan para que no resulte sermoneador.. las preguntas se sienten como una extensión natural de los viajes de los personajes no como algo engañoso añadido solo para hacerte reflexionar a la fuerza de una manera básica, al contrario, se presentan varias respuestas que tal vez no sean del todo moralmente correctas pero que a fin de cuentas terminan siendo lógicas.. En última instancia, siento que este anime es todo un viaje, sin duda vale la pena, y lo recomiendo.
No es perfecto, pero es muy ambicioso.. logra alcanzar puntos muy altos, los problemas iniciales de ritmo se equilibran rápidamente con una narrativa sólida y un desarrollo de personajes y animación innovadora.. Si eres fan de los animes de acción con toques de ciencia ficción y cierta perspectiva filosófica, seguramente disfrutarás mucho de esta serie.. y para los viejos fans de Trigun, esta reinvención da nueva vida a una historia clásica.. si no le han dado una oportunidad, yo les recomendaría que se la dieran, pueden acabar muy sorprendidos.. Yo terminé la serie sintiéndome muy satisfecho.. si tuviera que darle una calificación, le daría un 8.5/10. Es una serie que se atreve a ser diferente, es innovadora y logra mucho en el camino. Demuestra que a veces reimaginar las cosas o las historias podría hacer que sean mucho más resonantes que antes.. pueden mejorarla como no tienen idea. Y esto es todo por hoy, les dejaré la intro más abajo, nos vemos en las próximas reseñas! Byebye

›Trigun: The $$60,000,000,000 Man (Review)@isyeda1830d
Convenience is one of the major things that I run on personally. It's not that I will like something just because it's convenient to me, but I actually try to like it. To be honest with you it's getting a little more difficult picking out the good stuff. This is where the anime series Trigun comes into place. The show began running on cartoon network's television block a few years ago, and I (being the night person that I am) started watching it because nothing else was on since they had recently taken Inuyasha off the air when they began airing Trigun. Now I'll admit, the series was a bit difficult to get into at first. The whole idea of a wild west / sci-fi world didn't exactly sound appealing to me. It took a lot of watching, but eventually I became a big fan. Trigun is definitely a series on a level by itself.
Useful Vocabulary For Trigun
Double Dollars ($$) - The currency in the world of Trigun. I'm not actually too sure of how much each double dollar is compared to U.S. currency.
Planet Gunsmoke - The name of the planet on which Trigun takes place. The whole planet is desert, and water is often hard to find. This is not the human's native land though, as they moved there after Earth's resources were diminished.
Vash The Stampede - While this is the name of the main character in the series, the title refers to him as a merciless outlaw who levels entire villages and who kills women and children mercilessly.
Story
After Earth's resources have become too diminished for humans to continue to live on the planet the need to survive takes over, as humans leave the planet in search of a new home with fresh resources. One of the ships is named "Seeds", for it carries the frozen bodies of humans that are intended to help populate the new world that everyone is so desperately seeking out. Things don't go too well for the humans though, as their biggest hope is a planet covered in arid desert. Worse comes to worse, and everyone ends up landing on the planet, of course the only accident for the person behind the crash was that some of the humans managed to survive as the ships are forced to make emergency landings on the planet. This was about 100 years ago from when the series first begins.
Vash the Stampede is the most feared outlaw on the entire planet; the mere mention of his name will often send people running for their lives. Villages he passes through are left in rubble, and people are hurt. This is why the Bernadelly Insurance Agency has special concern for this fellow and for the trouble that he causes. The agency assigns two of it's employees, Meryl Stryfe and Millie Thompson to go out into the world and follow Vash to make sure that he doesn't cause too much damage. What Millie and Meryl don't realize though is that finding the legendary outlaw won't be as easy of a task as they expect. At first they find a few different candidates that could be Vash, but because of the $$60,000,000,000 reward on his head, there is a lot of trouble in finding the fellow through all of the people following him trying to get his bounty. When they finally find the real Vash they can hardly believe what the real outlaw is like, and it's not surprising that they question if it is the real Vash that they've stumbled upon.
The whole story isn't exactly obvious in the beginning, as Vash's past is revealed little by little in the beginning, but about halfway through the series you learn pretty much everything. I couldn't find any conflicting aspects of the story, and it really feels like the creators accomplished what they set out to do without too much confusion. The main element to the series early on seems to be the mysteries surrounding Vash's past and what not, but to keep your attention the creators do a very good job at feeding info little by little until you see the big picture. This tactic works well with this particular series, and at the same time it draws you in and forces you to have concern for the characters, and it even allows you to sympathize with a few of them.
The Main Characters
Trigun features some very interesting characters. The show itself focuses on several aspects of the people in the world of Trigun, but one of the main focuses is character development. This element is probably the main reason why I enjoyed this series so much.
Vash the Stampede
Vash is the most distinguishable character in the series, with his blonde spiked hair, rose red outfit, and his yellow/orange sunglasses. The first episodes portray Vash as a complete goofball who always gets caught up in things, but later on more of his true self is revealed. Despite what Meryl may believe in the beginning, Vash really is Vash the Stampede, and as much as she and Vash beat around the bush about it, they begin developing feelings for one another near the middle of the series. Vash is your typical perverted character who is reduced to a mere lap dog whenever a pretty woman walks by. Although he's quick to panic over little things, Vash is extremely cool and collected when fighting, and only during a battle can anyone really realize how strong he is. With doughnuts, women, and death being his only real weaknesses, Vash is a deep character with a unique style.
Nicolas D. Wolfwood
Wolfwood is probably my favorite character in the entire series. This character is introduced early on in the series, but it takes a while before the character gets major screentime. Wolfwood is first met by Vash and friends in the middle of the desert just sitting down leaning against his giant cross. This character is a man of the cloth, but you wouldn't be able to guess this right away because of his outlook on life and style. Wolfwood is always out to make some money, and he does this by carrying around a miniature confessional and charging people to use it, but not everyone is willing to take the bait. The most distinguishable features of this character is his foul language and limp cigarette that always hangs from his mouth. Although Wolfwood has secrets of his own to hide, he often proves very helpful and his heart is in the right place as far as his beliefs go.
Meryl Stryfe
As the mission given to her demands, Meryl must find Vash the Stampede and follow him around making sure that he doesn't destroy anything that the insurance agency she works for must pay for. Meryl is at first very cold and disbelieving of Vash in the beginning of the series, but after a while she starts to warm up to him, and even though she would never admit it she really likes Vash. Meryl travels with her coworker Millie, and although they don't always see eye-to-eye they are pretty much best friends. Meryl is the voice of reason character who also comes off as being a little cynical at times and devoid of any emotion besides anger, but this is only so that she doesn't open up to anybody. Meryl reminds Vash a whole lot of someone from his childhood.
Millie Thompson
Millie was also an employee at the Bernadelly Insurance Agency that was assigned to track down and follow Vash the Stampede. Millie isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but she has a good heart and that's all that really matters. Like Vash, Millie is extremely sensitive but at the same time she is incredibly strong and carries a giant stun gun everywhere she goes just in case trouble brews. One thing that Millie just loves is pudding. Although it's a little subtle, Wolfwood and Millie eventually become extremely close. Millie is the first of the two Bernadelly employees that accepts the facts about the goofy fellow actually being the Vash the Stampede. Despite being one of the more comical characters, Millie is one of my favorites in the series.
Millions Knives

There isn't a whole lot about this character that you can say without spoiling the entire story, and so I will keep the description short so as to not reveal too much. Knives is Vash's twin brother, and like Vash, Knives is also extremely strong. Unlike Vash, Knives lives for destruction and wishes pain upon the human race because he deems them as worthless and selfish creatures. Obviously there are some major clashes of philosophy between Knives and Vash, and thus this character is deemed as the big villain of the series.
The Series In General
Despite first appearances, Trigun is an extremely deep series with many running philosophies. Keep in mind that you won't actually see enough to realize this until you are halfway through the series. First impressions are very radical from how the series actually is, and so you shouldn't make up your mind about it until after watching about 5 episodes. The flashback episodes do tend to get a little repetitive because they appear frequently around the middle of the series, but it's never to the point where I felt like the series implemented them enough to make the episode boring.
Trigun is filled with many "goofy" moments, and this is one of the major turn offs for most people that start watching it. Vash really is a funny character, and to be honest, the humor was the main reason why I started watching Trigun in the first place. To my surprise, pretty much none of the humor used in the series revolves around sexual innuendo, and in essence this makes the series feel more refreshing from others that do. The jokes pretty much revolve around two things; Millie's naiveness, and Vash's clumsiness and attraction to girls. One nice thing about Trigun is that the creators did just the right amount of contrasting between serious and humorous.
As far as most anime series go, I would say that Trigun is extremely refined. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into subtle matters like character interactions for example, but the big things were also worked on to the point that the plot feels extremely polished. Although action sequences are present in nearly ever episode, I still found myself getting excited to see the Vash go from goofy to serious as each fight broke out. The action sequences are extremely fluid, and nicely animated. Usually these scenes have a slight amount of humor interjected into them just to keep things on the light hearted side.
Animation is pretty standard, with character models being the best aspect of it all. Trigun's characters look slightly different from those of other anime series because it looks as if the artists took more time to input the character's personalities into their expressions. The backgrounds are mostly boring though, with desert scenery and stone cities being the major implementations. Colors appear to be slightly washed out, but it's the only problem I could find that actually bugged me at all.
Trigun is not for kids. The adult swim version is edited, but it still has a lot of violence and cursing. In fact, I would really only recommend the series to adults because the plot structure used will probably make the series a little difficult for young teenagers to completely understand. A lot of adults themes are present in Trigun, and the overall feel of the series makes it very obvious that this show was not made for children of any age, but rather for adults with refined tastes. Many people say that the show was influenced by Cowboy Bebop, and while this may be true, Trigun is superior to Bebop in my eyes.
Trigun is a series that's perfect for wasting time. Non anime fans will likely have a hard time finding anything to like in the series, but older persons will probably enjoy it. Definitely one of my top ten anime series of all time, Trigun is something that should not be missed.
Hello friends I share a trigun drawing this time use extra fine marker for the strokes and the rest only in color.
Trigun tells the story of Vash Estampida, also known as The Human Hurricane, and of the two employees of the Bernarderi Insurance Company: Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who have the mission to follow and minimize the effects of the chaos that persecutes Vash to wherever this goes. He hides his true personality, alternating between the harmless idiot and the implacable warrior, but he is always a staunch and unstoppable pacifist.
I hope you like it. please follow me to see more of my talent :)

Trigun narra la historia de Vash Estampida, también conocido como El huracán humano, y de las dos empleadas de la Sociedad de Seguros Bernarderi: Meryl Stryfe y Milly Thompson, que tienen la misión de seguir y minimizar los efectos del caos que persiguen a Vash a donde quiera que este vaya. Éste esconde su verdadera personalidad, alternando entre el idiota inofensivo y el guerrero implacable, pero es siempre un pacifista acérrimo e imparable.
espero que sea de su agrado. por favor siganme para ver mas de mi talento :)
Vash is the most distinguishable character in the series, with his blonde spiked hair, rose red outfit, and his yellow/orange sunglasses. The first episodes portray Vash as a complete goofball who always gets caught up in things, but later on more of his true self is revealed. Despite what Meryl may believe in the beginning, Vash really is Vash the Stampede, and as much as she and Vash beat around the bush about it, they begin developing feelings for one another near the middle of the series. Vash is your typical perverted character who is reduced to a mere lap dog whenever a pretty woman walks by. Although he's quick to panic over little things, Vash is extremely cool and collected when fighting, and only during a battle can anyone really realize how strong he is. With doughnuts, women, and death being his only real weaknesses, Vash is a deep character with a unique style.
Wolfwood is probably my favorite character in the entire series. This character is introduced early on in the series, but it takes a while before the character gets major screentime. Wolfwood is first met by Vash and friends in the middle of the desert just sitting down leaning against his giant cross. This character is a man of the cloth, but you wouldn't be able to guess this right away because of his outlook on life and style. Wolfwood is always out to make some money, and he does this by carrying around a miniature confessional and charging people to use it, but not everyone is willing to take the bait. The most distinguishable features of this character is his foul language and limp cigarette that always hangs from his mouth. Although Wolfwood has secrets of his own to hide, he often proves very helpful and his heart is in the right place as far as his beliefs go.
As the mission given to her demands, Meryl must find Vash the Stampede and follow him around making sure that he doesn't destroy anything that the insurance agency she works for must pay for. Meryl is at first very cold and disbelieving of Vash in the beginning of the series, but after a while she starts to warm up to him, and even though she would never admit it she really likes Vash. Meryl travels with her coworker Millie, and although they don't always see eye-to-eye they are pretty much best friends. Meryl is the voice of reason character who also comes off as being a little cynical at times and devoid of any emotion besides anger, but this is only so that she doesn't open up to anybody. Meryl reminds Vash a whole lot of someone from his childhood.
Millie was also an employee at the Bernadelly Insurance Agency that was assigned to track down and follow Vash the Stampede. Millie isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but she has a good heart and that's all that really matters. Like Vash, Millie is extremely sensitive but at the same time she is incredibly strong and carries a giant stun gun everywhere she goes just in case trouble brews.
