Trigun Rules!!!

[Ceris]

Can anyone think of a better anime that so flawlessly combines action and humor with deep messages, great animation, and good taste (i.e. something that most people can watch)? I sure can't!

Neon genisis evangelion.

but trigun is a great anime, its one of the few anime's that i still want to put into the dvd player.

ah the joys of trigun. very good anime (with the limited ones ive seen) i would like to see the orginal non-dubbed version though

 

[taboo]

AHHHHH I LOVE TRIGUN!!!! kuro neko RULES! VASH IS MY LOVE

 

[SAint Mark]

I like Trigun almost as much as I like Kenshin. Really cool series! Warmly recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet.

NGE isn't really for younger kids cause it has nudity, especially blatant towards the end. As well younger audiences will most likely totally miss about half of what is happening.

Trigun is one of those animes that almost all, if not all the episodes could be watched by younger kids and they would get the anime as well.

The Trigun Kitty that appears in every episode, he's the man... that's all I gotta say.

how about Kenshin?
i'm sure most people agree that Vash is like a modern version of Kenshin.

semi modern atleast

but, i was going to mention Ruroini kenshin...but it sliped my mind.

 

[Blessed-one]

well, they're just tooooo alike. The similarity is striking.

i really like the ending of Trigun, a touching moment kind of brings things back together..

Yeah, but in regards to Asur's post, it really isn't for kids. At least not for anyone under 13.

There's a LOT of violence, and several *important* themes that would fly over the heads of younger viewers who would most likely just glom onto the violence. Sadly enough, I've seen this in my presence in the fandom: the 11 and 12 year old fans all babble on and on about how "cool" the guns are and how "fun" the fighting is. I've seen some older fans do this, but IMHO it's a mostly under-14 phenomenon and one I honestly find disturbing.

I mean, one kid poster I had seen, IIRC, discussed the scene in episode 24 (Highlight for spoiler, it's one of the two major series spoilers) where Vash kills Legato as "cool" and "he got what he deserved," rather than as the height of desperation and cynicism leading to what was supposed to be one of the saddest scenes in the anime. RAR!

Along with the violence, there's a few sexual innuendos and the like. Most of these aren't worse than what you'd see on American TV at all, but they are there.

Despite these things, this is my favorite anime series to this point. I love the storyline, the plot, the characters, and Milly and Wolfwood are among my favorite anime characters, Legato among my favorite bishounen. ^^ It's a great series, and one of the two animes for which I write fanfic.

I think I'll be posting more here. See you when I do

I've only seen a few episodes of Trigun and that was before I really knew what anime was. I don't know how many people watch Adult Swim on Cartoon Network but in April they will replace Big O with Trigun and show it again (along with new Inuyasha!). Kenshin and NGE are both really really good.

Aren't they! Wonder if they're related

Really? Yay! I'm really happy to hear that. I like Big O, and I've seen Trigun a lot. . .but one more time would be nice.

big o confused me in some parts and Dorothy was creepy. lol

 

[Susan]

Off topic to Big O:

LOL, yeah, to most 13 year olds it would be kind of confusing, since the main part of the plot, especially in season 2, dealt with several philosophical questions (i.e. such as can we survive without our memories and would we want to? Should anyone be in control of others? At what point does technology become humanity's downfall? Can something inhuman become human?)

I'd say watch it again after you've had a few high school or college history or philosophy classes. . .you'll probably be less confused then and may actually find it a very intriguing anime.

Oh, and I think Dorothy wasn't too creepy. . . In fact, I liked her a lot better than Angel. Just my honest opinion though.

Back on topic:

Anyone else think Meryl is one of the most annoying characters in Trigun? Everyone says they hate Milly or Rem, but I personally find Meryl to be the most grating on my nerves anime female, second only to Relena from Gundam Wing. I have a special dislike for obsessive, whiny female characters I guess.

oh yeaaaaaaaa~ hehehehe XD Vash the Stampede... 8) totally love him... XD eh... >.> <.< i meant his character... >.> <.<

i wouldn't mind having the gun...

i like the concept that Vash doesn't kill anyone, but rather he injures 'em...always willin' to help those who are in need, and doesn't care 'bout what others say of him...in other words...he's my type of character... 8)

(off topic to big o again)

ya i thought it had some philosophical parts in it. and u are right. i probably will understand it if i ever watch it again when im older. but i cant agree with ya on the Angel vs Dorothy part. once again dorothy just creeped me out.

 

[Susan]

LOL, to each their own.
