         This week's anime review will be about Trigun and it's been a while since I've last seen it, but it really is a great anime that I consider other people giving a shot to go and watch. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and give you some insight as well.

Synopsis: Trigun takes place in the distant future on a deserted planet that seems like an empty wasteland where life is barely sustainable. Vash the Stampede is a gunfighter who has a $60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. He gained the nickname or title of “ The Humanoid Typhoon” because he apparently leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever he goes and set foot in. Towns are evacuated upon hearing rumors of his arrival afraid of disaster coming their way. However, the real Vash the Stampede is not the same man as the rumors portray him to be and turns out that he is actually more heroic in nature or a big softie as one may say and has a heart for humankind since he avoids violence at all costs. The genre for this anime is action, comedy, and sci-fi. It was first aired in Japan on April 1st of 1998 through September 30th of 1998. There is a total of 26 episodes that range about 24 minutes each. The producer was Victor Entertainment and the licensors were FUNimation Entertainment and Geneon Entertainment USA.

Story/Characters:  When it comes down to the plot, it made a whole lot more sense towards the last episode where everything was finally explained because the story was jumping from one thing to another. However, I did enjoy it very much because the story for this anime was unlike any other I’ve seen and that might have been why my interest level in Trigun was skyrocketing. The story was just so splendid that I need a season two because they left me hanging and wanting more. There was a lot of development in between the episodes in my opinion because I felt that the characters went through some changes as the story kept on progressing in the episodes. The main characters which consisted of Vash the Stampede, Meryl Stryfe, Milly Thompson, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Legato and probably Knives who was the antagonist along with Legato for some parts. They are pretty much dynamic characters because somewhere along the way, they all undergo some type of inner change. The setting was basic and understanding because it all took place on a desert planet. Also, the tone and mood somewhat added to the overall anime because it would set either a really humorous or a really depressing setting which creates an atmosphere where we can all connect to in some way.

Animation/Art: The character designs that were chosen for Trigun were really well made despite this anime being really old since it did come out around the late 1990’s. The characters all have their own unique quirks that makes them who they are. I might admit that somewhere along the way, I felt really attached to Vash the Stampede because I considered him to be one of my many favorite characters along with his brother Knives even though he was the bad guy towards the end. Besides that, the background art was really basic but since it did take on a desert-like scenario, they ended up capturing the setting really well. The animation techniques used for this anime differ greatly to know-a-days anime because over time, it has changed as improvements have been made. But, I do like how Trigun was made and I wouldn't change it for the world.


Music/OP/ED:  When I first watched the opening, it was really great because it gave me this vibe that Trigun was going to be this really cool anime where you’ve got that cool anime character that outshines everyone else. However, the opening and ending never really changed and it stayed the same till the very end. The same goes for the song that enhanced the opening. The music was really metal-like but it was catchy in a way and it suited this anime.

That's it for today, hope ya'll liked it and here's a quote that I'll just leave right here...😄
