Vash has three guns:
His revolver. spoiler[His machine-gun inside his fake arm. His angel-arm.] This is, I presume, why the show is called "Trigun". |

I guess that could be it. Then again spoiler[His revolver and his angel arm are sort of the same thing.] |

I'm surprised to hear about the animation as I always remember it being of higher quality from most other anime at the time. I'm curious to go back now and compare it to other late 90's/early 00's stuff as admitingly I haven't revisited this show in a number of years.

well that would make proper sense. Though I kinda thought they were a third angel gun around. well only the creator knows. might ask him next manganext convention.
ah no kidding. though users comparing TB as a hellsing clone is kinda weird cause there's no comparisions with Abel as well as Alucard. I still say Abel's more like a Vash clone. |

I watched Trigun after having seen a lot of other anime, and heard a lot of hype. When I finally watched it, I was disappointed. It's not a terrible show, but if you don't feel a great amount of nostalgia for it, it's not that great, especially in terms of character development and depth. So if you're approaching this show for the first time, it's probably best not to expect the Awesomest Thing Eva.

I knew absolutely nothing about Trigun when I bought the show. I had only just gotten into Anime then, and the only reason I picked it up (over other titles) is because it was on sale. I think I also saw the trailer, and liked the intensity of it. The show didn't immediately blow me away, yet I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The more I watched the more I was into it, and by the end I was totally a fanboy. I was completely sucked in to caring about these oddball fictional characters, and it was probably just the second or third show that I watched which had that effect on me. If I had gone into it knowing that it was so great I might not have enjoyed it as much as I did. I say "might" because the inherent quality of the show does not change, and it was clear even from the start that this was an excellent series. I could tell that despite not having watched much Anime up till then; I had plenty of books and live-action T.V. series and movies to compare it to. So I didn't have any nostalgia going into it. No-one can have nostalgia when watching something for the first time, unless the work invokes nostalgia of something else; first love, long summer days, going to the zoo with grandpa, so on and so forth. Now, that isn't to say I do not currently have any nostalgia towards Trigun. But that's hardly surprising. Despite the negative connotations of the word "nostalgia", sometimes we wistfully remember certain works because they were Just That Good. It is a true classic, one which is more than worthy of the praise that has been heaped onto it, and I will always be comparing it to newer series. Oh sure, newer shows cannot take its place as being one of the first truly great shows I watched. But, they can match its writing and its characters. Well, they can try. Pretty much impossible to do even that, let alone surpass it. |

You know, there's probably no reason you couldn't express your opinion on this without venturing into the obnoxious 'anyone who thinks it's great is just nostalgic' bullcrap. |

Yeah, obviously expressing my opinion in a mild and reasonable way was "obnoxious" "bullcrap", as you say. You know, just because someone doesn't like the things you like, that doesn't make them evil. |

Saying you thought Trigun was just an okay show is perfectly reasonable. I have no problem with that. Saying that the only reason to think it's great is nostalgia is just a pointless little shot at anyone who does think it's great. There is nothing 'mild' or 'reasonable' about it. It is obnoxious. |

I'm not familiar with the missing stuff just like I was not familiar with the manga's version of FMA until the recent show but regardless I totally agree, I'd LOVE to see this. And I think it's been long enough to bring Trigun back as they did apparently too by suddenly bring out the new movie. I know that back when the movie was in production it was reported by several sites that they did say that if it did well enough they would consider making more Trigun animation so here's hoping especially when it comes here. Speaking of which, I cannot wait for the movie to finally make it's way here even if it's supposed to be just another potentially really good "mid-season episode-like tale" similar to the still awesome episode-like Bebop movie, can not wait! (especially as long as Funi manages to get the old dub cast back together for at least the four of them ofcourse since they're kind of like the Bebop cast and really such a big part of Trigun's feel now  )

I read in an article...here...that Wolfwood's voice actor will not be in the dub for the movie. I can't help but feel cheated, since Wolfwood is one of my favorite characters of all time...but that's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess... At least there's still the manga, which is awesome and epic and you don't have to worry about voice actors! |
