Yeah, I liked it. Not my favorite, but definitely cool.

One of my alltime favorite series. I saw it before it was on Adult Swim! Hoo ha.

It was great, but it's bothering me that they cut stuff in the American version.

Not really, just a few cusswords and blood, and that's because this country has ridiculous amounts of censorship.

EDIT: I was referring to the televized version, btw. The DVDs are uncut.

DVD set = Pretty faithful to the originals.

The english VA's are great. Especially Wolfwood's and Legato's.

Someone *AHEM* spoiled someone's death. X_x Um. From the single episode that I saw (coincedentally the first one he appears...) it's pretty good. I'd want to watch it in Japanese, though.

From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go.

It is a very good anime. Vash is one of those characters you really want to meet, but still can't help but feel extremely sorry for him. The same feeling is drawn from Nightcrawler.

At least, that's what I take of it.
I win.

I've seen the first two episodes subbed. They were pretty damn good.

Trigun is probably the sci-fi, non-magick-lover "OMG I HATE AMINE" type people's introduction to the world of Anime. Gun-totin' fun!

I will own a pair of boots with knives in them before I die. And I will groin-kick someone with them.

Anyone else think Haruko from flcl vs Vash would be hilarious?

Spoilers in my post

I guess i'm weird, but after awhile Vash got on my nerves. I mean he really got on my nerves to the point of pissing me off.

First half of Trigun, his pascifism(sp?) was alright. It made things fun and funny. Except for the BDN episodes it worked well for the show...then came the Gung Ho Guns.

Thats where I started getting annoyed by Vash. His refusal to kill just began to get ridiculous. Here we had a group who would kill everyone in the path of them carrying out their orders. And they caused a major mess in the process. Vash began to do his best to defeat his opponents and not kill them. He did this for Domonique the Cyclops, Monev the Gale, E.G. Mine, Rai Dei the Blade, Midvalley the Hornfreak, and my fav. Caine the Longshot. Vash doesn't grasp the concept of who these people are working for and what it means for them to fail their job in killing Vash.

He ends up costing the lives of other people, his enemies who he tries to spare, and even his best friend. Vash did kill Wolfwood. He wasn't the one who pulled the trigger. But Wolfwood would have survived his fight with Chapel the Evergreen if he had stuck to his usual methods of fighting.(Unless Legato pulled the same freaky stuff he did in the manga where he animated the dead body of Midvalley)

Oh well.
Boogum

I don't really like VtS mainly because 1.I don't like westerns and 2.I don't like westerns where the main characters spits out flowery poetry at the end of every episode.
