| This boxset was awesome to find for such a good price. I recommend buying the set that comes within the 30-40 dollar range. The customer service from those individuals was outstanding. The quality was awesome on these dvds... |

| He spends his days whining, complaining, scampering and sucking down every donut in site. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? He's the perfect anime hero. A friend introduced me to Vash the Stampede about five years ago and after I saw one disk of his set I broke down and ordered my own. This series is fun. That's the best way I can decribe it. As with any review I make I keep it short so that I don't ruin your fun. This is one series you've got to experiance for yourself. It is true manga. So hunt down your own copy or borrow a friends before if you have to but definatly watch it. If you love a hero who wants to be nothing of the sort then I belive you'll love TRIGUN as much as I do. Happy veiwing! |

| This was definitely one of the best I have ever seen. The characters are well developed and the plot isn't bad. The main character's personality is so great you just can't help but laugh and cheer him on. I don't want to spoil anything but this is something that you should check out. |

| Just letting everyone know to be careful because some of the sellers for Trigun are advertising the complete box set, but that is a misadvertisement. |

 "A anime that turns into a bombastic mess" | 2007-08-30 |

I liked Trigun, I really did. Yet, after a certain point I thought this series turned into a formulaic series where the guns just got bigger and the enemies more ruthless as it progressed.
It starts out pretty funny. Vash makes a great comedian. He playfully dances as he dodges bullets, and at one point he's even dancing to a walkman. He steals donuts from Millie and * while he's running away from bad guys. He also loves twisting his middle finger around his index finger to make a peace sign, saying that he fights for "love and peace."
Then the story took an unexpectedly dark turn. The villains became more vengeful and violent, forcing Vash to use more extra guns. Although he doesn't show his ultimate weapon in this box set, it's ridiculously powerful.
The series was just too excessively dramatic. I didn't like how violent the series turned out. At one point, so many characters died, and I wondered just how they were going to change the tone of the series. It changed, but I can't help but think that there was just way too much violence for me to fully recommend it. It's like a shortened version of Dragonball Z.
If you like hilarious humor, just get the first box set. If you like it enough, buy the second. If you like it, that's great, but I just can't recommend such a excessively violent series. I'd rather watch "Letters from Iwo Jima". |

Well, Vash is truly a classic, and most big time anime fans are already familiar with Trigun by now, but I think it's worth noting that the series really starts stronger than it finishes.
I give it 4 stars because the early period of the show is great. The bizarre, offbeat humor in the early episodes, and the super cool warrior moments Vash has a bit later on are all worth watching. Wolfwood is also quite cool, and helps breathe some life into later portions of the show.
Toward the end though, all the coolness and humor just sort of fade away. Vash falls into a pattern which makes him pretty much unwatchable unless you like being preached at, or perhaps if you don't mind watching with the tv muted.
There really are fun moments, and the first 2/3 or so of the show is almost as good as anime gets, but the later episodes really spoiled it for me. |

 "Vash the Whiner" | 2007-07-12 |

If you like goofy humor, you'll love the first episodes. If you love action, you'll like the next couple episodes after that.
But the rest! What happened?!
Vash starts out as a complete goofball, I mean, you can't take him serious. His voiceactor has this goofy voice that makes me laugh.
Do yourself a favor though, don't listen to the american dub, they can't act.
Anyway, from being this lovable goof, Vash turns into this cool gunman. Goof + action, weird mix but works.
But once you get to know about Knives, the anime just goes downhill.
Our lovable goof and gunman turns into a whiner. Whine, whine, whine, whine, angst, whine, whine, depression, whine, whine, whine.
He does nothing but whine!!!
And why is he whining?
Because he promised his caretaker he would never kill anyone - COME ON!!!
So, even though he is the best gunman in the whole world, he just watches people die and whines about it.
Just shoot the !%#¤"£@&¤&! villain and save those poor people! JEEZ!!!
But nooooo, Vash is portrayed at the poor looser who can't kill and then he gets upset because people die.
I was also irritated that Gung-Ho Guns got so little screen-time, I mean, one of them is one the whole show for 5 SECONDS!!!
You see him once, then you see him a couple of episodes later, then you see him a couple of seconds - then he isn't in the show anymore!!!
Oh, and let's add Legato to the mix.
Obiously hates Vash, worships Knives and... Legato has a mind-controlling ability!
So he could just kill, kill, kill like he wants to.
But noooo, that would end the show, so he basically walks around, eat some food, look a bit scary and does NOTHING!!!
The only reason I forgive him is because he is so handsome, but come on, he was portrayed so badly.
This anime is so bad compared to the manga, sure Vash was a whiner there too, but at least you got more Gung-Ho Guns time. |

This has got to be by far the best anime i have ever seen. It has everything from action to drama. It was done so well that (kinda scared to admit this but) it actually made me cry a couple of times due to the death of an excellent character and just the strength of character that Vash has(the Main Character. This is a great anime for all ages and here is why...the whole story is about good and evil and how expriences and your interpretation of said expriences make you who you are for example..Vash moto is "No one has the right to choose who lives or dies" and he means any living thing on the planet...although he is not neccesarrily a vegetarian, but then again i never did seem him eat except fish sandwiches really...
Anyways I am rambling if you don't have it yet whether you are an anime fan or not you WILL enjoy this series...(if not i would have to ask if you have any emotion and are still living and breathing)

| love this anime. the whole "walk softly and carry a big gun, i mean stick" reference is hilarious. but, be warned, Trigun - Limited Collector's Edition I (With Steel Case)is NOT the entire series. you need the limited edition II to finish it. if you are not looking to spend that much, then get the the normal box set with the whole series. again, love this anime. must own. |
