Synopsis

Vash the Stampede is a contradiction. He has a notorious reputation as "The Humanoid Typhoon," laying anything he comes across to waste on the desolate planet of Gunsmoke. However, Vash is in fact very non-confrontational and kind-hearted, living by a code of pacifism.

Twenty years ago, a high-profile bank heist went sour. The ringleader, Gasback Gallon Getaway, swore to get back at his backstabbing crew and the man who stopped him from killing them: Vash the Stampede. In the present day, the traitorous crew has been living the good life as successful entrepreneurs and politicians. Although two decades have passed, Gasback's bitterness has not waned as he aims to take them down one by one, by any means necessary.

Just in time to foil Gasback's plot, Vash has arrived in Macca City. Teaming up with the mysterious Amelia Ann McFly, along with the insurance agents Milly Thompson and Meryl Stryfe, Vash is ready to rumble.

Trigun: Badlands Rumble is a movie that continues the show's story and is a fantastic extension of the series. Vash and Wolfwood, the main characters, remain the same lovable characters that we have grown to adore, and the addition of a new character, Amelia, is a great complement to the cast.

The movie is still enjoyable, even if you haven't seen the original series. However, some viewers may feel as though they lack some background knowledge of the characters and the universe. It is recommended that you see the original series first.

The movie is centered around two revenge plots and how Vash becomes involved. While the ...

Mixed Feelings

If you adore Trigun, you'll most likely like this movie; however, if you aren't a fan of the series, it's best to look the other way, as you're not really missing much.

Here's what you should know.
This movie has some heavy Black Lagoon vibes, and the action scenes are beautifully animated.
The story is simplistic and predictable, with many memorable quotes and the trademark Trigun introspection about whether killing is moralistic and the consequences of going through with it or not.

Overall, the movie is good for what it is. But, despite its positives, it doesn't add to the series.
You could completely ignore this movie, ...

Hop along the idiot train everybody, because our top fool (Vash) is here to save the day.

The incessant need for Vash to portray a juvenile imbecile waned on my nerves, as it did during the original series. But having the displeasure to sit through an entire 90 minute movie, without the ability to take breaks through episodes, was especially excruciating. In addition, the same tired, “I’m the hero; therefore, I do not kill,” motive that was annoyingly prevalent, indicated that the writers were making no effort(s) in testing the protagonists resolve. When Amelia, a fresh character introduced in the movie, pushed back ... at Vash’s hero rhetoric and verbally lashed out by pointing to the unintended consequences of allowing evil people to live (namely, good people getting harmed) — Vash, discourteously, brushed it off, giving no consideration to her words. In fact, he placed his hand over his mouth, similar to when a five-year-old spills a glass of milk on the floor.

Now, let me be clear.

For those who watched the series before the movie, we understand why Vash gravitates towards being a gentle person; however, even benevolent individuals have moments in their life when they anguish over the gravity of their decisions. Why, then, is there no self-reflection about Vash’s own mission towards living an altruistic life? Where is the willingness to provoke inward conflict, forcing the character to answer tough questions and be open to new perspectives? None of that. What we receive is Vash reliving his prepubescence by eating doughnuts, acting silly, and flirting outlandishly.

The other characters, just like the original series, are dearth of personality and become one-dimensional with no depth or exploration into what makes them unique. Milly is the epitome of a dog in a human body. Happy-go-lucky without a care in the world. Meryl is the classic example of Tsundere. Wolfwood, for the purposes of this movie, is a plot device to present artificial tension. Gasback is the antithesis of Vash: bad for the sake of being bad. And Amelia is out for revenge, but purifies her ways because blah blah blah. Heard this story a million times, yet writers attempted to ham-fist it down our throats along with guns/explosions and call it a day. Given the average rating of 8.05 (considered “very good,” according to MAL’s grading criteria) its no wonder the anime industry continues to produce egregious garbage when the fans clamor for the lowest common denominator. By the way, why did Amelia attain a rash/hives when Vash touched her skin. It seems like an odd detail to place into the story when time could have been dedicated toward fleshing out her character.

To tie up loose ends, the animation, while improved in terms of character aesthetics, felt clunky during battle scenes. Movements did not feel polished, nor did they feel realistic (rewatch the scene when Vash stands on top of the car in the desert). The music felt disconnected from what was happening on the screen, quite off-putting at times. In all honesty, I cannot think of anything positive to say about this movie, neither do I wish to invest further time in writing a review about said movie. Therefore, I would vehemently recommend that you look elsewhere for entertainment, this production makes the last Diehard movie look semi-palatable.
