Glad a review of this is up, had wondered myself about the differences other than the biggie. Good to hear it has more comedic elements. Those were my favourite parts of the anime.
Glad that Chain gets more coveragein the manga, she seemed like a promising character in the anime and whilst many others got plenty of screen time she was criminally underused which was a shame.
The negative that 'most material repeated from the anime' is a very bizarre comment though. Of course the material should repeat, the anime was an adaptation.

I dunno, the last time I read a Dark Horse translation of a Nightow manga I wanted to bludgeon somebody with a thick hardcover. You'd think Trigun's tagline was "Deep Space Planet Feudal Japan Action."

Since the GN came out several years ago, I think the intent was evaluating whether it's worth a buy since most people who didn't read it back then are coming to it off of seeing the anime first. So if the adaptation was extremely faithful and complete, you might feel less incline to buy the GN. I took it as her saying that while the repetition of story elements in both could be seen as a negative to some people, there's still enough new stuff that wasn't in the anime to make it worth your time and money.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
From what I saw online, it seemed like the fans of the BBB anime did not even realise that Dark Horse had been releasing the manga. They released the first volume back in 2011.
While I haven't seen the anime, and won't until the last episode appears, I think I may end up jumping into the manga. There are 7 volumes to be consumed, though I am wondering why volume 8 hasn't been put up for pre-order.
DH looked to be doing Feb and Sep releases, but there's no info (that I can find) for volume 8's release. Kind of hope that they haven't dropped it...may just wait until some info surfaces for that volume before I go and buy what's already out there.

and from the looks of things,its pretty much a given that black and white are basically filler characters and not cannon characters which definitely would make people that didn't liked the king of despair pretty happy. those twins were basically nightow's version of vash and knives.

I actually rather liked white, but black was incredibly uninteresting, same for the king of despair. And since the final is all about them...well you know what they say about anime original ending

Has Nightow's visual storytelling improved any since his Trigun days? Because any given action scene in the Trigun manga was not so much 'cluttered' as 'unreadable'.
