I first heard of this from my friend from school. It is his favorite anime and he recommended it to me. I finally got to watching it and was happy with the result. I enjoyed how the story eased in from being kinda silly wit hsmall incidents, to more serious with complicated situations. The characters were also very enjoyable, especially Wolfwood, which is one of my personal favorites. (i do like Vash, although he did cry a bit too much near the end) The fights were good, although a bit more sparse than i had hoped, but not a problem. The atmophere was also very intriging, what with the space wastland, space coyboy feel. The biggest issue i had with this anime was the philosophy it kept hammering into my head during the second half: itr is never right to kill. Now i dont know what anyone elses opinion on that is, thats ur own, but regardless it seemed to kinda crippled the anime a bit (as well as turn vash emo). Ive seen this philosophy in other anime too such as Rurouni Kenshin and Genadier but not as heavy as this one. Also i can kinda understand Kenshin wat with his past but vash was just crying over some words his past friend said (yes it is sad i emphasize, but it isnt an excuse to go bawl ur eyes out every time u cant save everyone, especially ur enemies) Anyway, broken philosophy aside (at least by my beliefs), Trigun was an excellent story with interesting characters and a great atmosphere.
