Tasha Robinson Sci-Fi Weekly 02/22/2019
B
By drawing on familiar themes and leaving out the scene-setting, Trigun leaves a lot of room for chases, comic misunderstandings and wacky encounters... this is mostly an over-the-top comedy show that focuses on giant guns and super-deformed slapstick.

Trigun has lost none of its appeal in the intervening years. Go to Full Review Irina Curovic CBR 02/21/2019
The animation may be a bit dated, given that the show came out in 1998, but the story, the characters, and the soundtrack more than make up for any shortcomings in the animation department. Go to Full Review John Maher Paste Magazine 02/21/2019
Drenched in the tropes of American Westerns and nods to Christian mythology... The English dub is pretty much equal to the Japanese original, making it an easy entry for American genre fans. Go to Full Review Matthew Craggs Sacramento News & Review 10/22/2018
This anime series has the action and intellectual dark side that adds a mature feeling to the humor and slapstick. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

james o @RT63376403 Jul 25 the series was as a mix between Star Wars, Blake's 7, Western, Rurouni Kenshin, Starstruck, Outlaw Star, Farscape, Cowboy Bebop, Firefly and Star Trek. See more Sharon K @RT86914369 Apr 27 This is one of my favourite shows ever, if not my absolute favourite. And it’s for a reason - I eat up beautifully nuanced, philosophical stories full of metaphors and symbolism. This is exactly that. Don’t let the goofier first parts of this series fool you. It slowly builds up to something dark and incredibly poignant. I’ve seen even people who don’t like anime find themselves quite taken with Vash the Stampede. There are catholic/Christian overtones, but I don’t think you have to be either to enjoy this. The real standout for me is the contrast in philosophy between Vash and his brother, also the washout priest character Wolfwood. See more Ultras L @RT61986254 02/04/2025 Old animations are always the best. The muted colors, the pacing, the characters, the story. It's all authentic. See more Tommy S @RT95163453 03/08/2023 Top 5 for me of all shows. Perfect atmosphere for a gripping mythology that leaves you puzzled on the small details until you do research of the Manga, lore, etc. Just overall so well done. I won't spoil it but the characters, character development, tone, storyline, setting, lore, everything is just the best I could hope for with an Anime or any show really. Can't recommend it enough if this fits your style. If you want to understand the small details be prepared to need to dig through a couple web pages to get the answers you're looking for. Even after you find the answers you may find yourself asking new questions. See more 07/02/2022 One of my favorites! See more 04/13/2022 Vash! One of the best characters to come out of the 90s! Love the emotions and the story. Great series. See more Read all reviews
