Trigun is an all time classic 90's anime, right up there with Cowboy Bebop. In terms of pacing, story, and setting they share a decent number of similarities, but Trigun gets less figuratively down to earth than it's counterpart. It's main character, Vash the Stampede, and his counterpart Nicholas Wolfwood each exemplify opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the core idea: the value of life vs the greater good. In terms of character and theme, it's deep and complex, slowly drawing you in with it's lighthearted elements, before throwing emotional gut punches. If you want something to make you think, this is one of the anime for you

I just finished rewatching Trigun today. It just has an entirely deeper meaning watching it as an adult rather than a 7 year old. This anime is a masterpiece.
Do you remember what you thought of it at such a young age? I'm curious to know, since I've only ever gotten to see it as an adult
@@ProfessorViral i first seen it when i was 10. The first time watching this series i understood how he conveyed his feelings with silly humour.. I always loved the layers that this show had
@@ProfessorViral the first time I watched it I was around 11, I definitely liked it in terms of aesthetic/visuals and plot. it was entertaining for an 11 yr, but I couldn't appreciate the sheer genius of the fascinating contrast of ideals that trigun presents. re watching it recently has made it undoubtedly my favorite anime. it's, as you said, a masterpiece in every aspect of it. for context I'm currently 14.
I watched at 13 and I loved it
Yup. I rewatch it every once and awhile, and its always fresh. My favorite anime
Vash the Stampede is on of my favourite anime protagonists, because he's one of the very, very few protagonists who does "I never kill people" well.
Agreed. So often it's cheesy or a simple "third option" situation. Vash shows it as something costly, as it truly is
@Joseph Douek Wolfwood killed that one samurai dude after Vash put a hole in the moon
@Joseph Douek He also killed that puppeteer guy with a rocket
@@hellenhellen12 I honestly think Trigun does the Pacifist Story much better than Kenshin. Kenshin does the "Tragedy" for Consequentialism and giving Pacifism as a way for Atonement, whearas Trigun is the "Tragedy" of Idealism showing you the Limits of Pacifism. It just hits harder. Even though I think Trust & Betrayal is a Masterpiece.
There are a lot of above where protagonist ain't edgy
I don't get how this was an underrated anime. It deserves the same amount of praise as Cowboy Bebop and the other anime from our childhood
I watched it fully because it got so much praise and I thought it was pretty bad overall. It’s short but at the same time slow moving. There are no clear goals established for the main character or villain until the final episodes, making 80% of it feel like a waste of time. A serious sad dude who hides his sadness under a veil of lovable dope is just not enough to make a character seem deep. His values are basically superman like in how one-dimensional and unchanging they are throughout the whole story. He’s incredibly passive, with things always happening to him, forcing his hand which makes for a boring protagonist. The philosophical differences between protagonist and antagonist is literally just that one does and the other doesn’t like humans, with a weak exploitation of natural resources theme going on without ever being explored in compelling ways. The supporting cast is completely useless, has no impact on the story and except for the cross dude have no character arcs or interesting backgrounds.
All of that could be forgiven if the action was great and while it sometimes is, it always gets interrupted by long, boring sections with no bearing on characters or story. I think (if one were to cut most of it) Trigun could make a decent 2-hour movie, but as an anime series I thought it was pretty bad. At its time I‘m sure it was better recieved because there where less great anime to compare it to, but today it just falls flat
@@mekullag I disagree completely, but I respect your well thought out opinion.
Agreed! I think it's even better than Cowboy Bebop yet no one hardly talks about it!
@@mekullag did you even watch the fucking anime? Like, at all? The themes of mercy and pacifism in the show are incredibly deep and thought provoking. Vash is an idealist in a world that constantly challenges his beliefs. His internal conflict with his morals and the world around him aren't really explored in many other shows to the extent that Trigun does. Also Vash is dragged around by the plot on purpose. The entire point is that he wants to help people and do the right thing but is constantly roped into extremely desperate situations that get worse and worse. Vash doesn't look for trouble, it just finds him. And even after he goes into hiding and starts to live a peaceful life, he eventually comes back so he can defeat his brother. He can't just sit around and wait for Knives to end the human race. Also, Vash DOES change his philosophy at the very end! When he defeats Knives he leaves behind his coat, the pistols, and Wolfwoods cross. Then he looks toward the sky and apologizes to Rem because he cannot possibly live up to her ideals in a violent world like Gunsmoke. He decides that pacifism, while a worthy goal to strive for, isn't worth killing himself over. We don't really get to see what his new outlook on life looks like,, but he DOES change and grow as a character! I'm sorry but how did you not pick up on ANY of the motifs or themes in the show? Again I ask, did you even watch the damn show? And if you actually did and still have these opinions, then I can only assume you like the most basic deadbrained kind of media that is meant to be consumed mindlessly.
@@Sqwivig incredibly deep? Main guy doesn´t like shooting people but lives in wild west style world. Cool. Does he ever interact with the world in any meaningful way? Does he find interesting solutions to his problems or ever make a coherent argument for pacifism? No. He´ll run away if he can, if he can´t he´ll engage in non-lethal ways and if the enemies are robots, he´ll shoot them. Not a single interesting concept to be found anywhere. Thematic cohesion is hardly praiseworthy if it comes from an unchanging narrative and static characters.
Why do you think it´s a good argument to say he was made an unengaging and boring main character on purpose? His writer sucks too then, I guess. Does it make a difference if I shit my pants because I´m drunk or as a political statement against government overreach when you´re sitting next to me on the bus?
And no, hinting at a character going in a new direction after the finale in the last frames of your show does not make that character any more interesting or the show any better. Especially if that development is just outside influence forcing the characters hand once more.
If there was anything resembling an interesting motif it would have been the jesus vs devil vibes the two brothers were giving off, fighting over whether or not man is good and worth saving. But that never goes anywhere because there are no interesting interactions ever, only cliché dialog and uninspired conflict and episode after episode that could be left out completely and you wouldn´t even notice. I´d be willing to bet if you showed someone all episodes except for the last few in random order, people wouldn´t even be able to tell something was off. Of course that makes a lot of sense if you want people to be able to turn on their TV at any random point in the story, watch an episode and be able to understand the characters and story. A desired outcome at a time where on-demand watching was not a thing and people got into new shows by randomly happening upon an episode of that show. But it still makes for a decidedly worse show overall.
I feel like I´m doing the show right when I say that it might make for a good two hour movie. Clearly that´s me acknowledging that there are good things about the show, that might shine if distilled from all the boring time waste surrounding it. If you disagree though, be my guest and actually explain not just why the show is so deep (i.e. don´t just repeat what happens in the show, but explain what they´re saying with it that I´m apparently missing), but also why it profits from its bloated runtime.
This show helped me cope with the death of my stepdad, it's amazing. Made in the era of 'edgy' heroes, Vash shows that being angsty and mean is the weak way out.
That's what's so great about him, he has all the reason to give up on others and allow himself to be sad, but never does. He pushes through pain with kindness, a real hero
Millie's anguished cry at the end cuts straight to the soul. Truly a masterpiece moment in voice acting history.
1000%
It's still fresh in my head, this was the first anime I ever watched as a kid. I remember I was 8 years old flipping through channels and this show pops up about a cool looking dude who could dodge bullets and be zany. There were no subtitles but I didn't care I watched it in Japanese and followed it every week it came on. Later on I was blown away when I was introduced to dubbed anime and was overjoyed to see Trigun in the list. It was initially off putting to hear their English voices, but now I cannot unhear them or imagine more perfect voices for them :) I really wish Trigun could've done just as well back in Japan as it did in the U.S. so it could get the FMA Brotherhood treatment and adapt the series in its entirety including Trigun MAXIMUM. Glad we had the movie Badlands Rumble as a little something for the fans out there and I suppose it's the closest we'll ever see of the series with updated animation.
Damn, I never would have imagined watching something in Japanese as a kid! But it is sad that there's so much more to Trigun that's still left out. For how good it is even without everything, I can only imagine how amazing it could be in it's entirety
@@ProfessorViral I'm actually fresh off of binge-ing Kekkai Sensen and with the Trigun refrences I caught in there, it just got me reminiscing and wishing too that we could see more of the world of Trigun animated and explored. With the technology and animation techniques we have now, it'd be amazing! Plus it'd be fun to hear another cover of H.T. for the opening credits :3
I watched Trigun three years ago, and it was one of the best anime series I've ever watched in my entire life. Seeing Vash struggle with himself, even at the worst possible moments, is what made Trigun so enjoyable. He's not the usual happy-go lucky hero, he's a man who went through so much hell since childhood, and he consistently has to hide behind the goofy persona to reel in the pain he feels inside.
Also props to Johnny Yong Bosch, whose first anime voiceover role is Vash himself. He is so perfect for the character, especially in all his comedic moments.
Yep, Vash is the pinnacle of the "carefree" protagonists, because of that flip of the trope. It's so much more crushing of a story, knowing what's really behind his smile. And, agreed on the props to Bosch as well, the Vash laugh is iconic 🤣
I have a signed copy of the Trigun movie by Johnny Yong Bosch!
Kind of spoilery comment:
What gets me about Vash’s character is that he has such a deep love and respect for life and humanity and he isn’t even human himself.
Yep, and that's the only thing that allowed him to do so much for humans. A human would have died trying to do what he does, as we see with Wolfwood
Vash's ability to remain humble even in the darkest of times really resignated with me as a kid and I saw him as a truly lucky individual.
As an adult who's rewatched the show. It has become apparent that Vash creates his own luck and his humility isn't just humility but a mix between humility and absolute kindness. For Knives saw himself as a God amongst men. Vash saw himself as a protector and friend of men.
It's almost responsibility. Like he recognized his gifts as decided he had to use them for others. Anything else would be wasteful
Addendum - Why you SHOULDNT watch Trigun
Because after you finish it, you'll forever miss those first few moments
I was about to go ham on this, until my eyes saw the second line lol
I really liked this show.. aside from everything already mentioned in a video, does anyone else actually like the setting of the series? Its not the fact that it reminds a bit of the Old West, but rather that there is a clear blue sky almost every episode, beautiful sunset, straight horizon...its kinda romantic especially when combined with some of the wistful soundtracks.
I love Gunsmoke as a setting. I think it's part of what makes the series so special. It's a harsh wasteland, but with light tones, and contrasted against the kindness that is Vash
Awesome video, you have great potential and your videos can certainly grow. Keep it up, man.
Thank you! You awesome viewers are why I get to do this, so I appreciate you, and everyone else sticking around! Especially taking the time to leave such nice comments. When I start to get down about making videos, they really are what keeps me going : )
Truly the hero more kids need to see today. Vash is so underrated, and yet has such a deep meaning people need to see. From beginning to end.
Very true, there isn't much like him, which is sad. He's a great character that developed into something very complex under the front of a goofball
I've watched this series so many times. I love that the show starts so silly and fun, then the mood switches and it gets SOOO sad, and SOOO serious... But still manages to end hopefully, even after you were just fighting back tears. Also the music in this show is great, from the score to Rem's song. I recommend this anime to anyone and everyone
It's amazing that Trigun was bold enough to hold back on its serious elements for so long. If I wasn't watching it with others at first, I probably would have dropped it, thinking it was another goofy shounen-like. But, that also becomes such a strong component of Vash, showing just how much he hides beneath his happy shell. Overall stunningly well done of an anime
You did an excellent job breaking down this anime without revealing plot twists and spoilers! Trigun is one of my Top 10 favourites. Subscribed!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed, and I appreciate the comment and the subscription! I saw Trigun last year, and it's such an unknown gem for most modern anime fans I had to try and get it's name out there a bit more!
@@ProfessorViral You're welcome 😊
@@KaiNoOkane can you share your top ten please? For me Trigun is probably my favorite , I've watched limited anime and enjoyed the likes of Beck, Gantz, AMG and Deathnote series as well as loved the Manga uk releases such as Akira, The Proffesional, Dominion Tank Police etc.
@@Shikshame my top 10
1. Death note
2. Code Geass
3. Snk
4. Trigun
5. Parasyte
I can also really recommend the manga, I think the whole story is cut a bit short in the anime and there are some changes that I don’t really like but you could say that trigun is a really good anime with a even better manga
I need to read the manga for sure one day. Honestly, seeing how much was cut for the anime, I can only imagine how great the manga is
Do note, the last 8 episodes of the anime were done first before the sequel manga. Keep that in mind.
I jumped on Hulu this evening and Trigun came across my suggested list.
So I jumped on CZcams and looked up Trigun and yours caught my eye. No offense but I never seen or heard of your channel before. But after watching it I loved how it was presented and the format. You've convinced me to give Trigun season 1 a look see. I am now subscriber I look forward to watching past videos and future videos alike. As it is late at night I will have no problem power watching/listening to your videos all day tomorrow as I work. Thank you so much for your efforts!
Thank you very much for the kind words, and happy to see your sticking around! I hope my suggestions or list in the other comment give you some good series to check out! : D
Trigun has such an amazing soundtrack. Everytime I listen to it, it makes me want to rewatch Trigun again. Tsuneo Imahori is one of my favourite composers, also love the soundtrack he composed for Hajime no Ippo.
Still the best anime ive ever watched
For sure. There's something about that slow burn style of plot that's risky, but absolutely amazing when it's done well. I makes the characters so much deeper when we get to see the true them revealed over time, rather than exposited on us early on
not my favorite but top 5 easy i respect your choice for best anime though

This was actually the very first anime that I really got into. Even if most of the show was filler, it was very enjoyable for the most part. This show holds a special place in my heart.
I am always on the lookout for non-mainstream gems and as a result do visit different review channels. What really stood out for me, other than the crisp and wholesome narrative, is the quality of comments here in terms of how people have described their personal anecdotes around watching Trigun. You seem to have a loyal community here!
I'm honestly exceptionally lucky in community terms. A few videos have some generic harsh comments, but 95% of them are lovely and kind, and I'm happy to provide a bit of a space like that for people who like less mainstream series like these!
When he had a bag of donuts that he soooo loves but still proceeds to break down and cry.... 😭😭😭
There's no better relationship in anime than Vash and the donuts
same
Ever since I first watched this it became my favorite anime. And even to this day, it still remains and will forever be my favorite anime of all time
It's a good pick for a favorite, one of the most unique and interesting out there!
I have been trying to convince people to watch this anime since I watched it back in 2001. You pointed out one of my favorite things about the show, which was the idealism of Vash juxtaposed against Wolfwood, the ultimate realist. LOVE AND PEACE!
That duality is what makes the series for me. A lot of shows do it, but none do it as well as Trigun
I remember when I was 14 years old watching adult swim and stayed up past midnight just to watch Trigun. Til this day the most terrifying villain in anime is Legato Bluesummers. The music the voice, I had legit nightmares of this Traitor to humanity.
I didn't see it until a later age, but some of his scenes are downright creepy and terrifying even now! I wish he got a bit more time, but overall a great villain
Just started this anime and I'm weirdly really liking it took a couple episodes now I'm kind of hooked, up to ep 6
It's a slow burn, but around 5 and 6 is where is really starts to kick. You're just getting into the good stuff!
This assessment is 100% something I can agree with.
I love the flow of your vid and your speaking pace / voice is cool. Continue to do what you do.
Thank you. Its hard recent, but I'm gonna try to keep it up!
Vash has the willpower of the gods of every religion
He's almost a god himself haha
@@ProfessorViral yes
This is my favorite anime and you did it Justice.
Gonna start watching Trigun pretty soon after hearing more info on it, just so happens that I kind of came to a very similar mindset to Vash about life prior to hearing about this anime again.
Happy to hear you'll be watching it! Hopefully it'll provide something of value for your Vash mindset!
I just realised something . All of my faviourite games and anime including trigun have one concept in common that draws me to them . The beauty that can still be found in some of the roughest places
So glad i went into this as blind as i was made everything much more intresting as i had no idea we were on a whole other planet until the show pretty much told you straight to your face
Yeah, I always just assumed it was future earth and that would play into things
@@ProfessorViral my best guess was post apocalyptic earth or steampunk esk cowboy setting kinda thing
Im 5 episodes away from finishing this after attempting to start it 2 times before years back. This anime belongs up there with Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. I think its better than Cowboy Bebop only con I have is how much the anime changes by episode 14 I believe. Vash is someone entirely different than What I expected. Im glad to have been able to watch this anime , almost had a few tearjerkers if i didnt hold back
I'm glad to see you gave it a few chances, and that it grew on you. It's an amazing piece of expression I wish more people were aware of. Agreed on the tears, it's hard to hold back with this one
This show is one of the three which I cannot stop returning to. I bought it on a whim when I was 17, and I've never stopped relating to Wolfwood and our $$60,000,000,000 Man. It's hopeful, moody, gorgeous and has my most gut-wrenching moment in anime nestled within. Having watched Stampede, now, it makes me all the more thankful '98 Trigun was made when it was. I'm not a fan of 3D anime, for mostly the fact that it overrelies on the 3D plane and doesn't use classic 2D design to guide viewers, but it's more than that. Stampede feels very cynical and unfun by comparison, and while there is levity, it tries to horrify so much that the delicate emotional balance of Trigun just is lost in the noise. I had a decent enough time watching it, but Trigun will never be topped for me. ❤️🤞
90's trigun is such a masterpiece that you can't even skip the intro/outro
Just finished the show yesterday man what a masterpiece show
For sure, one of the most well crafted messages in anime
The toll of his non kill montra shows physically on the extent his body has gone through. Those plates all over his body and his scars are wild
Just finished this series and I love the Trilogy of Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and Trigun. What other similar animes are there?
I'm honestly looking myself; nothing quite matches their deep exploration of a human trait with that range of optimism each holds (Bebop being the least optimistic, but still somewhat I think). Black Lagoon similarly explores the weakness of people like Eva, but with more the physicality of Bebop, but it's not that close to either. Sonny Boy is a recent pick that's very surreal, like EoTV, but less heavy on action, and has a quite reserved optimism
Check out Outlaw Star if you haven’t already.
Started watching it last month. Finished Badlands Rumble yesterday. It was pretty famous back then in elementary/highschool when it aired on TV but wasn't able to follow it since my other siblings were using the TV. Pretty underrated show. Looking forward to the new series(reboot?) next year!
Vash the stampede is just the best but the story had deeper meaning its like i can feel something if i think this anime but i know you know trigun a lot and its my favorite too it was the best to watch even in english dub too
Edit:and the most part i love about him is he keeps trying to make the ppl not die he always keeps hes promise to rem to not make her sad
The anime is a wealth of deeper meaning for sure, nothing has ever done a better job of showing the cost of heroism and idealism
On the note of comparisons to Cowboy Bebop, a lot of grimey nerds like to insult Trigun by calling it a knock-off or "the poor man's Cowboy Bebop."
Cowboy Bebop began in April 1998
Trigun began in 1995
Just found this video, it's a great one man! You said a lot in a small amount of time. It's very well written. And you have a nice voice. Keep it up.
Thank you! I'll try! :D
I’m totally biased when it comes to trigun. I was at my brothers place in Corona CA when I first actually binged stuff for the first time on Netflix. Back when it was on Netflix lol. It completely drew me in. Idk I always felt this was top ranked with all the other classics. It’s underrated but I love that about it. Definitely deserves recognition
For sure, I hadn't even heard of it until I watched it with a club at university, and I'm so glad it was picked
My favourite character is Nicholas Wolfwood. He was such a bad ass! Especially his cross (which has a secret in it.)
It's such a toss up for me, I love Vash to bits, but I wouldn't if it wasn't for the contrast of Wolfwood... But they're both amazing at the end of the day! I do love his cross, and its surprises as well 🤣
The secret is that he's in love with Vash.
Aight aight time to watch this
It's super worth it 👀
great video man, short and sweet; not too spoilery for those who’re on the fence about watching it. That thumbnail was a great choice because it had me thinking it was someone else’s face until you showed the clip in your video.
Thank you!
Chilling series that has dark themes. Better than what they put out now with overblown fights. Your review is on point. Short review is cool. Longer 5 minutes go more in depth but you did a good job 👍
Great stuff, man! Truly a masterpiece worthy of the ages!
Thank you! :D
Man, your channel is too good to not have subscribers 🤗, hope you can continue your hobby of making videos, and know that I care about them even if it doesn't mean much
Thank you! Also, it means more than you might think, the reason I'm able to do this is because you and others out there are enjoying my videos. Without you, I'd just be a man yelling at his wall haha. So thank you for sticking around and watching, and for the nice comment! : )
I just watched trigun with my roommate a couple weeks back this show is fucking amazing
For sure. I'm happy a new reboot is keeping the name alive, even as it's own new thing
it's so interesting watching trigun again after reading the manga
Hey you're excellent at your articulation but I feel like your video would have been more engaging if you switched to 7 minutes and used short clips to help emphasize your points. One thing sbout Trigun is that just like Cowboy Bebop, the English dub is amazing and honestly ahead of it's time. I feel like if you had a few seconds where your viewers could hear and see the anime, it would make them want to watch it more.
Also, Trigun has an undertone of Christianity, and the creator of the series actually converted to Christianity(iirc. Feel free to fact check me.) There are similarities between Michael and Lucifer, and Vash and Knives, respectively. The space ship they were on was like the garden of Eden, and the idea of original sin came from the butterfly and the spider. I know Knives didn't ger much screentime, but I feel like you could have done him more justice as an antagonist. The dynamic between the two brothers was a prettt big part of the series, even if the scenes including the teo od them were far and few.
No offense at all, but I feel like a show this complex can't be compellingly explained in 6 minutes without adding in some audio for context, and although you explained the general plot well, you missed some very important nuances about the implied existence of God and Angels (called Plants in the show). I say this because I want to show Trigun to my dad, who thinks anime is for kids and doesn't see the value of the adult themes that exclude vulgarity or violence. I don't think this video would have compelled him to watch Trigun, but people who do watch anime would probably give Trigun a shot after watching this video (no pun intended.) Maybe ask yourself if you want your video to speak to anime fans specifically, or include people who don't watch anime and want a convincing reason to check one out.
Try adding some audio from the show next time and see if there are any little things you could say that would make your video feel more like an actual video review and less like you just talking about it. Your personality completely eclipsed Vash's in this video, but the video wasn't about you, and Vash as a character is part of what makes Trigun incredible. I hope that makes sense, and you seem like a really cool person. If I read your words instead of listened, I would have probably said you did a great job writing a synopsis. But I do think that for video reviews and summaries, you should include Audio from the show to bring the characters to life and let the art speak for itself.
Overall great job and thank you! I actually usually don't leave feedback, but you have great potential, an awesome vocabulary, and a pleasant speaking voice, so I wanted to give an honest opinion.
Fun coincidence: episode 3 apparently first aired on the very day I was born, back in 98.
Damn, you had the perfect year for great anime to air on your birthday haha
@@ProfessorViral Indeed, my good sir!
This was one my first childhood anime and I would always love Trigun. Trigun is one of the reasons I started watching anime and I hope that Nightow would make more. Anime 🥰😍🤩
I saw Trigun a decent bit into my anime experience. At first glance, I thought I would hate it. Now, its in my top 10, at least, if not top 5
Forgot to mention the badass western soundtrack.
This is true, I do love the Trigun soundtrack. Although I tend towards the more emotional tracks, like Sound Life or Rakuen
Don't forget Outlaw Star.... same era as Outlaw Star too. God Damn, 1998 had the best anime!
I've actually hardly heard anything about Outlaw Star so far, I'll have to look into it a bit!
I wasnt into cowboy bebop. But it was the only cartoon on that late, so i saw some of it. i remember seeing a fridge episode that i thought was the very last, and it really got to me. Like, I vividly remember how upset i felt at that ending.. it was my first existential crisis.
That would actually be a worse ending than the actual brutal ending haha
I'll recommend you check other master pieces from the same creator.
Gungrave and Kekkai sensen.
those are as master piece as this master piece 100% guarantee.
And please if you like them do a recommendation video like this one for them.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll give them a look when I get through some current projects, and see if they catch my eye!
I love kekkai sensen and I felt a lot of it in trigun and when I saw this comment it clicked and I was like damn
Holy crap, I didn't know he did Gungrave as well. I've only seen one episode of it, it was the first anime I had ever seen, but now I need to put that on the top of my to-watch list.
i remember watching this when i was kid and now that im 30 ive seen alot of anime and if i really think about it trigun is the best of them all!!!
I honestly think its one of the anime most deserving of a remake. It's an insanely beautiful story that's sadly brought down by the fact its from the 90s. Just improve the looks and maybe pull in a few more elements of the manga!
Love and Peace! Great review, there's a lot to love about Trigun
Thank you, love and peace 😄
I was recommended this by a sort of random person on the tobuscus server. The old animation was unappealing at first but I grew to like it. I finished it today and wanted more so I decided to watch some reviews. I love it. It's original for it's time, it's funny and sad and it's just amazing.
Is perfect, now be waiting to the 2021
I washed trigun 98 cuz a friend wanted me to watch it cuz she thought I would like it. The interesting this is that while i enjoyed it alright i wasnt really interested in the anime until the end there the backstory is revealed. If not for the fact that I was watching it with a friend I dont think I would finish it.
I'm so glad I did.
After finishing 98 anime, left with more questions then answer I dig deeper. Read the manga, watched the movie and 23 adaptation. I loved them all. Tbh at first I thought I liked the manga and stampede more then 98. Stampede sure did a lot better job at geting me interested. Its first episodes gives you just enought questions and just enought answers to keep you interested and asking for more in a good way.
Manga ofc has a lot more to work with being a lot longer and it gives as a lot more of the story and more on the topic of the plants (which I was and am very interested in). it also actually has some knives in it which just. I love this man so much. Am literally making myself a crocheted plushie of him.
And after all that i ended up rewatching 98 anime with another friend. and I realized that it has something that manga and stampede doesnt have as much. something that I realized I enjoy a whole lot.
Just vash influencing normal peoples lifes. Idk why but I love it so much. The movie shows it great too (let's ignore vash being a fucking creep there). Just... Vash has lived on this planet for 150 years. Since the start of humans living there. Just watching him interacting with this world. changing things just a bit. Without focusing so much on the tragedy that his life is and his relationship with knives...
I wish we got more of the gang just... living. getting in shenanigans. Helping people. hurting people. People helping them. people hurting them. Just see the way they interact with the world. I wish knives got a chance in it too. Got a chance to experience life as a whole. will all the good parts too and not just the fear and pain he experienced.
So yea. I like 98 anime way more then I first did. Idk how about other people but it really was better for me after reading the manga. And that's not to say it was bad on the first watch. it still was a lot of fun (jusr gonna ignore the typical for old anime pervert level).
and just. I realy love marlon. I'm so glad he got included in the manga. Marlon you silly goose I love you. I hope you found a reason to live
Thanks for covering my main dude Vash, they deserve Love and Peace 💜
No problem, thank you for watching! Vash always need more love : D
Peak fiction I’m telling y’all the last couple of episodes are beautiful
Legato's scene is genuinly one of the greatest moments in fiction, and perfect for everything the series had set up. Genuinly a masterclass in developing a theme perfectly when you add in Wolfwood as well
I've always been on the fence on wether or not i should watch Trigun. Just added it to my watch list. Do you know if the anime is faithful to the manga?
The anime only covers half of the manga. The manga was cancelled at some point so the show had to make up its own ending with what was available at the time.
@@blondon1368 Alright, thanks! I'll try out the manga then.
If you were in-between the manga and anime, I would agree to go with the manga. The anime is good as a standalone, but many have said it was lacking a lot, which it is in simple time constraints alone
@@ProfessorViral Ok, thanks. I'll check it out!
@@beastvicious8672 Both the anime and manga have different canons. I recommend watching the anime first because it’s much better relating to the characters, it’s almost like trimaxes vash is an entirely different beast.
I feel like this is alot of peoples first anime, I first seen this when I was like 8
I actually didn't see it until I was about 20. I was late to the party
have the humans threated you well brother? (final episode knifes asking Vash right before vash unholsters)
I'm wondering when does the show pick up I'm on episode 9 and just looked there are only like 20 something episodes jw when I'm gonna see some shit
This anime is basically the sci-fi version of Red Dead Redemption.
I haven't played it myself (I know...), so I can only agree that the Western in a fit lol
I heard a lot about trigun but never watched it i might just watch it if you say its that good.
It truly is, it's a slow burn to see how beautiful a narrative it is, but the more episodes go on, the more worth it it is
Your crazy trigun is the best anime ever you should get it
I need to re-watch yet again:) I have it all on DVD!
I honestly need to as well, there's so much more I could talk about with Trigun
Great work!
You earned a new subscriber
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :D
Yo great video bro keep up with the good work
Thank you! I will :D
the guns were amazing. i WILL own a working, firing replica of vash's agl arms 45 long colt revolver..... MARK MY WORDS!
That would be amazing!
Anyone who saw Man of Steel and thought the scene where Superman kills Zodd was disappointing should watch Trigun.
Pretty much, I don't think I've seen the concept done better than here
This anime alongside evangelion is what brought me to realize that anime isn’t just dragonball and pokemon.
I tried... but watching Trigun in 6 minutes requires 86x times the playback speed. I have no idea what's going on.
I said it once I'll say it again, Hollywood literally should have used this as thier start to live action adaptation. It's literally American inspired anime.
It is one that could translate well to live action. The dusty, run down, and nondescript Gunsmoke makes for a manageable setting, unlike it's cousin Bebop and literal space, and most of it could be done in a down to earth way, with flourish saved for the scenes where it's needed. At the end of the day, I'd rather have a "remake," really just polishing up and modernizing the animation, but I'll take anything new for Trigun
@@ProfessorViral what's your thoughts on the trailer of the reboot?
I rewatched it 7 times GRAAH
Me and the boys crying ourselves to sleep after whatching
"Living Through It"
Vash just triggers every maternal instinct in me, felt utterly awful for him...
I love that he goes from generic goofy protagonist to complete and utter tragedy. One of the best script flips in anime for me
This is one of the Legendary animes... i Love this series so much!
Agreed! I wish it would get a remake that maintained all the depth but updated the animation so more people would give it a chance
I’m almost done with cowboy bebop and it’s so good that I feel like no matter what I watch next is going to be a let down so I’m going to watch trigun next.
Samurai Champloo, trust me!!
Max Turner lmao I moved on to Evangelion and now Evangelion is my favorite anime
@@BMitts kekkai season, the marmalade step and sugar song ending one
Most of trigun is filler but I still love it
It's damn good filler 🤣
LOVE AND PEACE!!!
LOVE AND PEACE
Spoiler
Wolfwood killing Zazie was really the greatest conflict between Himself and Vash, Vash thinking that he could have been saved and Wolfwood killing Zazie and justifying it because Zazie was an enemy despite Wolfwood being an enemy himself thus contradicting his justification which leads him to regret and blaming it on himself for believing that Zazie can't be saved or changed despite Wolfood having a change of heart after knowing more about Vash. His death feels different from the deaths of strangers since we actually have development of his character and making us think of him as a good friend which makes the revelation of him being an enemy hard and us watching his backstory right before his death even harder since we understood that the actions he took were based on his understanding, beliefs, and experiences.
I totally agree with you bro!
Legato was such a good villain
He could have used a bit more time, but for the bit he had he was quite good
ProfessorViral all of the Gun Ho Guns could’ve used more time on screen like each episode should’ve been about one or two Gun Ho Guns tops that would provide a unique challenge for Vash that way they would have more time to get their characters established
Very true, it would have been nice to see them more in depth. I forget their specifics more often than not, which I wish wasn't the case
I keep telling people to watch this. It's a fucking masterpiece and I'm tired of it being under the radar
It's a shame that it is less well known, and also more rough in animation than other 90s classics. It makes it a hard sell, but it's such an amazing series
Trigun is 100% better than that new revamp they did.
Great vid love trigun
Thanks!
I love trigun, I'm two episodes away from finishing it.
I hope you enjoy the final episodes! I don't think they're the best episodes of the series by far, but they fit with everything and provide a nice cap off
@@ProfessorViral Okay, thanks! I was sad when Wolfwood...left.
@@rikukingdomhearts3749 Died*
Took me years to watch it. It was a very dark series. I enjoyed it. Christian beliefs. Guy is looney and a man of peace. Made he did not smash Merryl. Funny and heartfelt.
Great video
Thank you! : D
I liked Trigun a lot. Vash is a great protagonist, but I found Meryl a little insufferable a lot of the time. She was good by the end too tho.
Meryl was definitely a little 'exaggerated' early on, like she was some weird not quite tsundere but also kind of but its the 90s? I'm glad that toned down as the series went on
✨ AND THE MANGA ✨
One i need to read for sure one day. There's some where its better, but this feels like it'll be a whole different experience
Masterpiece.
If you want to understand the plot please read the manga. They really didn't care much to recreat the plot in the anime
I know it doesn't follow the same story, but even with that is very good, even if the manga may be better
@@ProfessorViral Oh I love the anime! Just the plot a little caotic here and there :D
Enjoyed this anime
Nice review
Thanks!
