Trigun: Complete Series Box Set (Classic)

Trigun has and probably always will be my favorite anime of all time. It's hard to describe why, but I suppose I'm about to try. Trigun is the story of Vash The Stampede. He's an outlaw on the planet Gunsmoke that has a ridiculously huge bounty on his head for tending to wreck any town he ends up in, yet has killed no-one, so he's always being hunted. He's a lovable character with a very interesting back-story that you will never figure out until you've watched it near to completion. People criticize this show for Vash, though. Considering he acts like "Jesus with a revolver" with his pacifist ways. He does have his reasons, though. It's not as if he doesn't struggle in the show with his ideals, either. It's a very comical show, but becomes quite dark as you get farther into it. It has huge amount of action, a few heart-wrenching and heart-warming moments, a tinge of romance, a dash of revenge, and a lot of thought-provoking moments. It makes you question how important your own ideals are to you and makes you consider just what it means to kill someone. The action is very well paced and if you're into guns like I am, you're going to find a really good time in this show. The guns and weapons are just as unique as all of the characters, and that's saying a lot. This show has some of the best action scenes to me, including the very best final fight I've ever witnessed in a show. You'll be on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next and just how much more insane it could possibly get. The characters are extremely unique, especially the villains. Some of the villains are downright terrifying like the infamous Legato Bluesummers. What I adored about this show was it's ability to make you love every character in it or at least appreciate their own unique personalities, weapons, and style. They're all really well done and their voice actors are generally very fitting. The art-style really makes you feel like you're watching the characters exploring a barren world, which Gunsmoke isn't the most habitable place in the story, and ending up in old western-like towns. I think it's very fitting. I love the dusty nature of it, personally. The designs of all of the characters, places, weapons, and scenery is very detailed as well. The comedy mostly comes from Vash being Vash. He tends to act like a bumbling idiot, but it's mostly a front. He's relatable to people who have a hard time opening up to others in a way. Truly opening up. Hides his true emotions and thoughts by being a joker. It can be a little over the top, but it's generally very funny if you're into that style of comedy. The music is very well done. From the western themed songs in the cities to the blaring metal guitar riffs in the intros, they're all really good. Fitting too. Makes you remember that this show is an action show. The songs tend to be reused often, but considering that they are good, I doubt many will have any complaints of that. I didn't. It just made me happy to hear it again whenever they did reuse one. The story, or stories I should say, can be very intriguing. Each episode tends to feel like a completely new story to be told. Vash isn't always the centerpiece, but that's not a bad thing. It helps to put across what the other people in this barren world are like and how they are surviving. I love how they did this, but what I love even more is something that I've never found in any other show; It's "next episode" preview. It tends to end each episode with Vash giving a philosophical talk that goes in conjunction with the upcoming episode. I love those talks. They make you think and tend to speak truth. It's quite unique. I honestly couldn't recommend this show enough for anyone that loves anime and wants to see an amazing classic. It's dark tone at times might be a bit much for really young audiences, but it's otherwise PG-13 or teen. It's nothing too bad, really. If you haven't already; Pick it up and see if you find it as awesome as I always have.

Can't recommend this show enough! I watched Trigun when it was on Toonami, and it still holds up today. The dub is how I recommend watching it in, but it still has the Japanese version just in case. In my opinion, the dub is superior. It's not super accurate to the manga, but thats what we have the newer one is for, which is also incredible. If you are still unsure about it, let me tell you, Trigun is a western inspired anime that has the funniest hero in all of anime. In the beginning of the show, it's very monster of the week, but as the series continues, it unfolds a conspiracy that encompasses the entire world of Gunsmoke and beyond. The entire show has the theme of Nature vs Nurture. The characters are unforgettable. The main character is an absolute icon, and has so much depth, that by the end of the show, I was sad that it was over.

Great set! Had zero issues with it, would buy again. Love this anime, one of the classics for sure.

Love this movie can watch all at once or one at a time great anime movie you will be happy to see this movie

It doesn’t matter what city you travel to. Mentioning the name ‘Vash the Stampede’ always strikes fear into even the most cold-hearted criminal. Vash’s reputation as the Humanoid Typhoon, this dastardly deity of destruction, causes civilians to run away screaming, criminals to impersonate him, and the Bernardelli Insurance Society to investigate him. It is quickly revealed that Vash, the protagonist of Trigun, is actually a donut-chomping, easygoing, womanizing pacifist, a masterful gunman with spiky-blond, Super Saiyan – esque hair who always finds himself in comical situations. In one episode, Vash complains to the audience about his lack of screen time. In another, Vash, while listening to music with his headphones, stumbles into a saloon and becomes a victim in a hostage situation. While following Vash in the show Trigun, it becomes obvious that he’s not your average Joe (and not because of his magnificent marksmanship). Vash, the man who invents lengthy aliases for himself, holds a heartbreaking past and a century’s worth of secrets. Vash the Stampede, the galaxy’s most wanted outlaw (with a 60 billion double-dollar bounty on his head), the man donning that unforgettable red jacket, is among the most interesting and complex characters I’ve ever seen and he’s one of the many great aspects of Trigun. This anime has three genres; it’s a western, a comedy (among the best of its kind), and an action anime. Trigun is an explosively entertaining show but the basis behind the anime is much deeper, that killing people doesn’t solve anything and that there are different ways to resolve an issue. This is the lesson that Rem Saverem, Vash’s mentor, instilled in him and it is Rem’s mentality that Vash (and the series) attempts to maintain. There was one death early in the series, when the Badland Gang hijacks a train and kills the conductor, but that murder appeared to be a rarity, something that wouldn’t happen again. Trigun appeared to be an anime of light-hearted, bloodless fun… until Legato Bluesummers, one of Trigun’s biggest villains, showed up and began slaughtering people by the dozen. Trigun’s mood instantly shifted to a drastically darker direction and it was all because of Legato, one of the many, many, influential characters in the show. Every character in Trigun has a distinct personality and presents a unique aspect to the series. Trigun begins with the members of the Bernardelli Insurance Society, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson. Meryl is a demanding and moody woman who (very slowly) softens her unpleasant demeanor (I’m not saying Meryl’s an unlikable character but I’d be surprised to find a fan of hers). Milly is the taller (and much nicer) of the two investigators, a warm-hearted woman with child-like innocence and an enormous gun as well. Throughout the series, a variety of characters are inserted into the plot, like the benevolent Rem Saverem (whose impact on Trigun I already mentioned) and (my favorite character) Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a laid-back preacher with an oversized cross on his back, black sunglasses on his face, and a cigarette in his mouth. There are, of course, the villains. There’s Legato Bluesummers, a psychic psychopath who poetically professes loyalty to his master, and the Gung-Ho Guns, eleven different criminals who work alongside Legato. Finally, there’s the all-powerful Knives, the mastermind responsible for Legato and the Gung-Ho Guns’ killings and Vash’s twin brother (as well as someone who I will further discuss later). Another excellent aspect of Trigun is the music. I’m obsessed with the main themes of TV shows and Trigun’s opening is among the all-time greatest. The Trigun opening is a guitar fanatic’s dream come true (and I can say the same for practically the entire soundtrack).The anime doesn’t just have guitar; there’s also the occasional piano-playing and even some saxophone pieces, mostly thanks to Midvalley the Horn-Freak (one of the Gung-Ho Guns). What I enjoy most about Trigun’s soundtrack is how the anime employs the music. In one unforgettable scene (Wolfwood’s death), Trigun presents a memorable montage of the preacher’s life as emotional music plays in the background. During the episode “Sin” (my favorite Trigun episode), after Meryl inquires about Knives, Vash begins to tell her and Meryl violently steps back as a gunshot fires in the background. Then, the only sound is this exceptionally emotional guitar piece that complements the tragic scene, as the camera switches between clips of Vash’s past, Vash’s muted talking, and Meryl’s emotionally destroyed face. Whoever constructed this soundtrack is a genius; I’m serious. As much as I love Trigun, I have to admit there are some flaws. With the exception of Legato, the acting from the characters was decent at best and awful at its worst (The voice of Julius from the episode “Escape from Pain” was painful. Just painful). I feel like there are more things the producers could’ve done to improve the series and chose not to (Like the ending for the episode “Fifth Moon”, after Legato mind-controls Vash to destroy the moon, Wolfwood says this is the path Vash has decided to take, and Milly, while hugging a sobbing Meryl, announces that she will never forgive him. What the producers could’ve done was make Meryl, Milly, and Wolfwood hunt down Vash as the outlaw pursues his villainous brother). I think the ending for Trigun was especially unfulfilling (I loved the symbolism of Vash’s jacket and how he finally discarded it, but I hated the anti-climatic, unnecessarily lengthy, Dragon Ball Z-like showdown between Vash and Knives), and I really don’t understand Knives (Why did he choose to continuously torment Vash into joining him? Why didn’t he accomplish his plan after a century? For a main antagonist, Knives sure is confusing. Honestly, I think Legato was a much better villain). Above all else, why is the series titled Trigun? Despite its flaws, Trigun is the epitome of entertainment, a 26-episode rollercoaster of gunfights, comedy, drama, and depth (as well as one of my three all-time favorite shows). If you’re looking for something to watch, check out Trigun (or at least the main theme via YouTube). You won’t regret it.

I'll admit that I'm biased about Trigun. Trigun is my favorite anime and it's a classic. Let me share, with you, why I love it. First off, Trigun has some really great characters. They all have different motivations, values, and backgrounds. Vash the Stampede is very much motivated by a strong sense of internal morality. Merry is driven by her sense of duty. Millie is a loyal and caring individual. These characters are developed really well and it's interesting to see how they react to different situations. The plot follows Vash the Stampede through his various trials and tribulations. It starts very light hearted, as the main plot isn't revealed too early on, but does get more serious and sad when you get further into the main plot line. It keeps it very interesting with some of the hardships that Vash faces. It has an interesting soundtrack. Most of the soundtrack is in a Western or jazz style. It definitely improves the feel of the show and provides great effect. Now, the animation definitely dates it. You can tell that it's an older one, but the art still looks good. If you're not a fan of older animation, you might take issue with this. Overall, I think it's a classic that improves any collection. You can definitely rewatch it and still enjoy it. The combination of great plot, awesome soundtrack, and intriguing characters culminated in a great anime experience. I'd definitely recommend it.

i just started watching newer anime and wanted to take a step back in time to older anime. big difference in every way. the story is not as complex, the art is a bit "raw", and the action is a bit tame. this is not to say 1 is better than the other. it's different. i would not have a problem with a child watching this show. i wouldn't allow a child to watch most of the newer shows. with that said, this is a good show in it's own way. a bit less mature than some of the shows i am currently watching. it's good for a more relaxed watch. i would recommend it if asked.

It's amazing seeing how well Trigun has aged since it aired on Cartoon Network in 2003. I've always thought about picking it up on DVD but have found most anime sets are charging $80 or more for an entire series. While this boxed set is cheaper than most and includes every episode it's lack of extras will put off people who're looking for collector's editions. Trigun is based off the manga series by Yasuhiro Nightow taking place in a sort of western/sci-fi universe (sort of Mad Max meets Firefly). Vash the Stampede is a light-hearted, somewhat aloof marksmen who has a $60,000,000,000 price on his head. Trouble seems to follow him everywhere and not only because of his bounty. Despite his gun-skills, Vash is a pacifist and tries to get out of situations in the most non-violent manner he can. Through his adventures Vash meets Meryl and Milly, insurance agents investigating claims against Vash and the destruction he causes. They also meet up with Wolfwood, a priest with gun-skills equal to Vash's own. While on the surface these characters seem like typical anime-types, each one carries a certain emotional weight with them and we learn more and more about each of them as the series progresses. This somber tone flows through each episode (even the more wacky ones) and really sets this show apart from most other anime's out there. If there was any flaw with this series it probably comes from the abrupt shift in pacing in the later episodes. The first episodes play out like we're following one long road-trip and one big story-arch. Later the episodes shift with flashbacks and jump-forwards and they start to lose their continuity. You will still able to figure out what's going on but for me this was sort of jarring to the experience (especially trying to watch all the episodes in one sitting). Like I said before, this boxed set of Trigun has little extras so if you already own the series there is no reason to pick up this package. There are four discs with all 26 episodes meaning there are six or seven episodes crammed onto one disc at a time. This leaves little room for extras and the video quality might not be up to standard (it looked fine and cleaned up on my 20" tube television but I can't vouch for anything bigger). If you don't own the series already and are like me and just looking for all the episodes (without spending too much $$$) then this Trigun Boxed set is perfect for you. Even if you're just an anime or sci-fi adventure fan looking for a fun show with a refreshing twist I'd recommend giving this set a shot. It's got likeable chracters, fun action scenes, and mixes humor with seriousness without too much of either. A must-see experience!

ひさしぶりに見たくなり、全話入っていて見やすいしやすいし・・・・ と思ったけれど、キャストはあちらの国の言葉になってしまっていて、画質もなんとなく荒い? それでも全話まとめて見れるのはありがたいですね。 リージョン1なので、日本の一般的なプレイヤーでは見ることが出来ないのも難点です。 逆を言えば、リージョンフリープレイヤーがあれば、そして多少の画質の低さに目を瞑れれば、格安で全話セットがかえるわけですから、VHSの3倍録画したテレビ番組のストックをDVDに焼いたのだと思えば満足は出来る、、、はず。

serie excelente. la recomiendo. empaquetado, rapidez. muy buena
