This is was one of the first anime i was introduced to. Growing up in the United States and limited me to a lot of anime. But not this gem.
My attempt at writing a review for this wonderful piece of art is intended to give you a good idea of what a good story and art can do when they work together.
Vash the stampede caught my eye as a child i always felt i could relate to being the loner in social groups and feeling like i knew things or lived beyond my lifespan sometimes. Often feeling i couldn't connect with things around me even
...
in the music my family or friends listened to and enjoyed. I was always different.
Trigun naturally appealed to me and showed me that with the right story and art direction a connection can be made to something in this world. It sounds nuts i know but let's consider some things that this anime truly a interesting watch.
1. Gun play is tasteful and often meant to be the last resort.
2. The main character always feels he can't become attached to those he meets.
3. Despite the latter he still has a kind heart and helps many.
4. The search for the big bad or closure is innate in all of us.
Those points put out there i think it's great to see a main character who is plagued by personal thoughts and demons. But yet, he is still able to put those aside to care for someone else's needs.
What feels like the old west and often depressing truly sets the tone for this lone gunman. The spirit of the western frontier is no doubt alive in the people who were instrumental in making this show come to life. While at times the sound mixing for what i watched on tv and found on the dvd's was troublesome to mess with it didn't detract from the great imagery and didn't slow the story down or hinder it from being told.
Japanese or English both versions sound great although it's my personal preference to watch with the English dub. For the straight fact that the diversity of wording and accents is a must to make each character no matter how small the role all the more immersive into the world that is Trigun.
Hope this isn't to wordy it is my first shared opinion in form of review i've ever written. So have fun and i'm sure there is something in this anime for everyone :)
