| 6/10. My TL;DR would be: I like Vash, I don´t like Trigun. Something that I have to say is that my perception of the series before actually watching it was completely different, so I didnt expected to get that much morality, but even then the ending is meh, and the whole thing feels like a contradiction. |
| The ending of the show was very enjoyable and sad for me knowing that we’re most likely not going to get a trigun maximum anime adaptation (which would be dope) and also knowing that it’s a low chance that we could get the fma treatment but the fight between Vash and knives was a great fight in my opinion full of emotions from wolfwood’s death and the fact that Vash used wolfwood’s gun to win the fight was dope to. It also showed how much Vash cared for knives even though knives put Vash through so much pain Vash was able to get over it because of the similarities with Meryl and rem (which is very similar to Kenshin and kaoru) but it was a classic gunslinger fight full of emotions and backstory’s. |
| Last episode was pretty good overall! The flashbacks and subsequent fight were pretty cool to watch unfold. I can understand people saying the flashbacks drag on for a bit near the end, but I personally didn't mind it; it fit the atmosphere well enough. Vash winning by the help of Wolfwood and STILL keeping to his ideals was a neat payoff. Just can't help but feel something is missing about the ending though. Maybe it's because of the cancellation, I'm not super informed on the ramifications of that. Never seeing what Meryl wanted to say to Vash at the end kind of sucks. I feel like maybe a "Where Are They Now" for a show that goes from town to town constantly also would've been nice, but their mini-arcs were wrapped up so no biggie I guess. I'm gonna have to think about this one some more but it was definitely enjoyable! |
| Pretty good but that 2nd half is really rough in places and the ending is very unfulfilling imo. 7/10 |
| mmmmmmmm ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 7/10 |
 |
| The story all came together so well (the history being tied in). It all became conducive in the end. What an amazing show. It has everything: comedy, character development, an interesting plot and sub-plots, great art (for the time) and deep symbolism all throughout. Truly enjoyable and worth a re-watch at a later point. I'd love to re-watch, not for the story but to catch all of the symbolism and metaphors I missed the first go round. Definitely not what I expected at all and I'm very pleased. |
| Nooo! I expected this one to be different (from first three episodes) but they're all the same. |
 |
| Finally finished this show today and I loved the ending though episode 24 was my favourite in the series. I loved all the themes explored throughout the show and it was a fitting end imo. I'm gonna watch the movie ASAP because man! the animation looks amazing. Let's see what the story is about. |
| My childhood right here, I remember my siblings and I staying up to watch this late at night |
“You flounder through life, struggling desperately so you won't drown, even though you would float if you'd just relax.” |
| That was a much better ending to the anime than I anticipated. I actually thought he might have to kill again for the 'greater good' and finally break his code but I'm glad everything ended the way it did. Now to start the manga from the beginning for a slightly different experience all over again. |
| Why would he spare him? Vash is really ridiculous. |
| Trigun was such a blast from the past. It's been awhile since I last watched something from this era. It stumbles a bit here and there, but the characters and setting hooked me right from the beginning. The ending wasn't extraordinary, but made sense considering the trajectory of Vash's character arc. It didn't feel very conclusive though. It's like, what's the plan? Show Knives that humans have good traits too? That's fine, I just wish it had said more about it. I wonder if the ending would've had a stronger impact if it left off without showing us what Vash's decision was, and let the viewer draw their own conclusion? Have him point the gun, cut to Millie and Meryl talking about how he'll come back, then end with a wide shot of a figure walking into town. It was just a thought I had while watching. But the series had mostly resolved the "will he or won't he" dilemma already, so making it super clear that Vash stuck to his convictions works better for the optimistic ending the series was going for, I suppose. I give the series a solid 8/10. |
| Good ending to a brother rivalry. People died. |
| Love & Peace! Well, fine journey that aged okay-ish. More low (i am not a big fan of more comedic first part) than high moments, beside last few eps which were really decent. Not my fav anime, but still worth watching. |
| I really wish we could've gotten some more moments with Vash & Knives throughout, and I certainly would love to see a proper epilogue. Especially because I feel like Knives isn't going to just wake up tomorrow and not want to commit mass genocide. But, other than that, this makes my 11th rewatch, and, honestly, it might be a bit more than that. But, it's hard to remember how many times I've actually rewatched it considering it's one of those things I just binged quite a bit when I was younger. But, either way, it's still one of my favorite series. Now, I might need to reread the manga before the new series. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| "I will follow my own way" Good travel, Vash the Stampede. |
| Good ending. The edge Trigun has over me when compared to other anime of it's ilk is how likeable all the main characters are and how invested I am in the relationships they have with one another, which makes those 'life goes on endings' you see with shows like this especially effective in this case. Sad that the rest of the material for this series was never adapted while Madhouse had their hands on this, though I still think it's a good note to go out on. All that being said, I've been a little disappointed to notice that this show really comes apart with it's themes of pacifism and peace on second viewing. This isn't so much because of Vash, but because a lot of the situations he finds himself in are pretty fantastical and difficult to engage with from a moral standpoint. The character writing for the people after Vash's head is also just plain bad in a lot of cases. Just gotta mention that the soundtrack to this rules. I've been listening to it on and off over the past year, and I think it may very well be my favourite out of all anime. Sandy Planet, Philosophy In a Tea Cup, Not An Angel and Scattered Rain all floor me with surprisingly complex they are, and Blue Summers is the only song I think of as being fucking scary. Absolutely unfathomable to think that all the music was composed by one dude. Never intended to finish rewatching this right before starting Stampede, though it was convenient of me to completely lose the motivation to finish this during the middle part with how hard it flew off the handle. Hope Milly returns at some point in Stampede. It would be sacrilege to cast her off in favour of some new character. |

| Esse final eleva o sentido de briga de irmãos a uma potência nova. Gostei muito da sequência de tiros desse duelo, me emocionou pacas. |
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I’m feeling sentimental Without you, my room is empty I’m feeling sentimental Feels like yesterday you were laying Only a few centimeters away from me" |
| AHHH I don't want to leave this anime! It was soo good and I loved the ending, wish Nicholas could have been there though, welp, he was there in weapon form lol. The new one was a disappointment man, was really hoping they did it right but they didn't. |
| opin·ion [əˈpɪnjən] NOUN
|
| This was great I liked the new ending visuals Vash is a great character and this whole series was amazing |
 |
| I have dropped this anime once, because of the episodic format of the first half, but once the real story kicks in it gets a lot better. Vash and Wolfwood are such cool characters with a beautiful dynamic. I'm glad to have finished another classic anime series. |
 |
| Finally got around to finishing this one. I started back in December a few months ago, and it's been a pretty fun ride, but it definitely had it's bumps. If I'm being completely honest, there were low points where I just kinda lost interest in this show. The fights felt a bit weird in certain parts, and that last gunfight with knives... Still not sure how to feel about it lol Overall though I'm glad I watched this! I've seen a lot of people praise it, and I can definitely see why, but I can't help but feel like I didn't enjoy it as much as them. I am thinking of rewatching it at some point in the future, and who knows I may end up liking it a bit more then, but yeah. This was really good, but I feel like I didn't get as much enjoyment out of it like most people seem to. It's odd but yeah. Overall I think I give this show like an 8/10! I think I enjoyed Cowboy Bebop a bit more, but still liked this too! |
 |
| This is one of the most striking anime series I have ever watched. The plot went to a really surprising chain of events and didn't stop. It's in my top rewatch priority list from now on. 9 bullets out of 10 |
 |
| Everything was going fine until he shot Knives and then it looked silly between his reaction and Vash's scream xD but then it turned a bit annoying with Knives just being basically a brat throwing tantrum, the russian roulette moment was great, though. To think I started all excited to watch this because I had a midly positive memory of it from when I watched a few episodes as a kid :p oh well, the beginning was good, the latter half, not so much but hey, I finished. |
| I didn't like the ending, at all, for me, it ended on chapter 23. And the only two characters I truly liked were Wolfwood and Milly, Vash was determined to never kill anyone even if they did the worst things. Not to mention how he cried over random characters he met once. bittersweetlove said: I understand that Vash wanted to save everyone, but if he had killed Knives 1st he would have saved many humans and just killed 1. 6/10 You're totally right. Vash always thought there was another way, but if killing one person means saving everyone else, why don't even bother thinking about it? |

| Not a crazy ending, they introduced Miles way too late for me to be invested in him Overall a series with cool visuals and good voice acting, but the characters are not that developed and story feels shallow weak 7/10 because of the visuals and Wolfwood carrying |
| This was an incredible series, this was a thrilling ride for me, very light hearted to begin with but quite dark and depressing at the end. People have often compared Trigun to Cowboy Bebop and yeah they are quite similar in theme but I wouldn’t consider this being better than the latter personally and I’m not just saying it because Cowboy Bebop is one of my favourites but if I do have to quibble with it, it’s mainly just the fact that it was a bit slow to begin with but it did make up the pace almost immediately. The ending for the actual finale I did find rather satisfying to me I liked that Vash while he’s still true to himself is able to let go of his fears and actively make himself a better person by accepting that yes he did kill Legato but he also acknowledges that he can correct that sin and move on from what Rem told him to believe in, even him simply throwing away his trademark coat is basically his way of showing that everything that had happened up to that point is all in the past. Don’t know why the flashbacks couldn’t have just been scattered throughout the episode, yes they give us an idea of what Knives and Vash were like when they at last crash landed on the planet but it felt like the flashback was going on for quite a bit before we actually got to the meat of the fight itself which was still awesome to watch. Anyways Trigun is probably one of the best 90s anime out there, my only regret is not watching it any sooner. I’ll give Trigun as a whole a 9/10. |
