Trigun
Oshimeter
Synopsis
With a $60 billion bounty on his head, the legendary Vash the Stampede is the most wanted man alive. People call him the Humanoid Typhoon, a walking disaster who levels entire cities just by showing up. The thing is, Vash is a total goofball who refuses to kill anyone. He'd rather dodge bullets and buy donuts than fight back, and watching the gap between his terrifying reputation and his actual personality never gets old. Set on a dusty desert planet that feels like a sci-fi spaghetti Western, Trigun follows Vash as he's chased by bounty hunters, outlaws, and two insurance agents: Meryl and Milly, who are assigned to follow him around and assess property damage. Early episodes play this for laughs, but the show gradually peels back layers on who Vash really is and why he clings so hard to his pacifism even when the world keeps giving him reasons not to. The tonal shift from goofy action comedy to something genuinely heavy is one of the best parts, and it earns every bit of it. Madhouse produced this back in 1998, and the animation still holds up where it counts, especially during gunfights. The soundtrack by Tsuneo Imahori gives the whole thing a gritty, lived-in feel that fits the Western aesthetic perfectly. If you liked Cowboy Bebop's blend of style and substance, or Gungrave's slow-burn character work, Trigun sits right in that neighborhood. 26 episodes, no filler worth skipping, and a protagonist you won't forget.

Trigun is one of those anime that starts off goofy but gets way deeper than you expect. Vash is funny and laid-back, but once you learn more about his past, the whole show hits differently. The animation definitely shows its age, but I think the old-school style gives it character. Some episodes drag a little, but the story, characters, action, and emotional moments make up for it. It’s not perfect, but I can see why people love it
Damn, so after all this, Vash and Knives were twins and they are not human but a subject? At first I really want Steve to end himself but Knives took care it, but Knives went rogue and kill everyone in the ship including Vash's "mom" :( Although its a great episode, the pacing of scene to scene is bit odd but I guess it's normal for anime back in the 90s.
Didn't know Vash could nuke a whole damn city. Can't wait to discover his lore more cause for the past episodes the anime tend to focus on the side characters much rather on Vash himself
Nice to see more moments of the insurances duo but it comes with a price of a minute of Vash's screen time unfortunately
Oh we really stepping into Vash's past with new character revealed, Legato. Vash really different this time, calm, calculated, but also concerned. Legato really does not hold back in terms who he ends, can be the adults or kids. Crazy guy
Really thought we going to get Vash VS Wolf with Vash betraying the party, but of course Vash was one step ahead and it was all a fake betrayal
Trigun is another one of my "must see in your anime career" shows. The easiest way to explain why I believe this can be summed up by one name: Vash. Vash the Stampede is arguably one of the coolest, toughest, and funniest characters ever created. He's everyone's favorite superhero (even though he demolishes everything he gets close to). Vash brings forth something that I think everyone has a little in themselves, compassion. If Vash had a middle name, it would be Compassion. As if Vash wasn't enough for this show, they thought it might be a good idea to throw in a fantastic music score too. Tsuneo Imahori really hit the nail on the head with his work here. Great opening, great ending, and great background music throughout the show. I like some tracks so much that I often listen to them while exercising. Wolfwood, Meril, and Milly are great supporting characters. The constant bickering between them will trigger plenty of laughter. Not a ton of detail goes into their pasts, but enough is presented to satisfy the viewer. Animation is from the late 90's, so it's nothing crazy. It's great for the time period though. Overall, one of my favorite anime shows. Worth a watch no matter what type of series interests you.
Love Wolf wood's charisma. This episode was a fun team up between Vash and Wolf. Looking forward for more Wolf's appearance
Loving the team up between Vash and Wolfwood

Trigun changed my life. When I watched it, it opened up so many other paths for myself. I found something that felt like mine, not only unique but relatable and important. Even though the manga was infinitely better and more impactful. I first watched the anime, and that is where everything started for me. I recommend it to everybody I know, to limited success, but still, Trigun means everything to me. This review is definitely biased, but I just can't help myself in this case.
To be honest.. not a fan of this episode since it's a recap of episode 1 until now.
