This episode was awful, the dub in this episode in particular was especially bad and Vash was only for like two minutes.

There is an error in this episode.
The crescent which was on old man's helmet was shown as if it was pointing the right way in one scene,but in another it was pointing the left direction.

Oh, another giant. The ending was fucking random. Not really a good episode. Still, it wasn't that bad either. Guess it'll get better.

It felt like a weird episode since vash wasn't in it. funny when he appeared at the end. Also wtf was with that mom and her voice? made laugh hard! other than that though i thought it was an ok episode. Felt like filler though.

I love Milly and Meryl because I think they are funny so I thought that this episode was okay. I don't understand why some of you hate them because you don't say the reason, but I don't really care, people can have different opinions and that's fine.

So that was the rest of the Nebraska family. Interesting how the genes out worked with their body sizes being mismatched like that.

Surprising that people don't like this episode. Less Vash did it good, we had a break from his poor gags, and instead got some development for the girls. The Nebraska family are also interesting; we don't know much about the world this series takes place in, so any bits of world-building are welcome.

Ok, I don't know how to feel about this. Like what's the point in Vash not being there? Were they trying to go for a more deep, erratic kind of episode? The Insurance girls stopping Vash from shooting and Meryl trying to hide her feelings for Vash makes this episode unbeaarable. I am not a big fan of the Insurance girls.

There is not enough action centering around Vash. He was only in like four scenes and they just completely ignored him. Marilyn was just an annoying, stupid character and Patricia was just okay. And is the old man the same guy in episode 4 who was the father of a girl who was held hostage?

Probably the most predictable Trigun episode. I'm glad I got past the two worst episode of the series which were unfortunately Episode 13 and 14. But if you liked them, that's great. I'm glad you can see something in them that I can't!

I think that Little Arcadia is a pretty good title even though I don't know what 'Arcadia' means.

This episode was about family, though not at all nuanced about it and not really well done. It was kind of interesting since we have the Nebraska Family vs the old people and their son who was trying to protect them by giving up the land. Of course, he didn't at the end. They didn't play off that though really. Badwick reminded me of Neil Young. The weird Vash scene was kind of funny but it might have just been better to include him; he is an interesting character. Meryl's crush on Vash is not really explored much at all, but it keeps coming up. I wonder how it will play out.

I wish we could have gotten more of Vash, I like that girl with the short hair, but she does not work well without Vash being by her side. I was not entertained by this episode, feels like pointless filler tbh.

I was really touched by this episode's emphasis on the importance of family. The Nebraska Family's wacky bonds and the heartwarming love Badwick's parents had for him despite being a prodigal son of sorts aside, I absolutely adored Milly's strong reactions towards those who disrespect their own families because she has once again proven that she's the purest gal around. She'll certainly make her future beloved a very happy man, that's for sure. Meryl finally delivering another letter to her family in the end was a great way to end this episode.

It was quite interesting to see some greenery in the Wasteland for once. Vash having a very small yet important role in this episode was really funny too~

all in this ep felt filler, the story, the so called "character development" and the stupid motive of that man to steal in blood their land.

the only good things were vash, even for couple of seconds.

In my opinion it was annoying that the girls insisted on being the old man's body guard, intercepting Vash, then when the bad guys showed up, Meryl was talking about ditching the old man. That paints her in such a poor light. Then in the end Vash had to step in to save them after all. Also despite seeing how everyone is constantly hunting him, and all of the wounds that he has sustained trying to protect others, she is still disrespectful, rude, and abusive towards him. At this stage in the anime, she needs allot of character development.

I like how Milly and Meryl get to hang out and be bodyguards, they're pretty badass. Milly is so silly.

The gigantic family (with the one who had the bowling ball head) kind of came out of nowhere, but alright.

Haha Milly's eyes sparkling when Meryl draws her guns and talks to them. She's precioius.

This was a very sweet ending.

I really don't understand why Nightow is so obsessed with this concept of the "Nebraska Family." It's a weird, reoccurring, storyline that I could do without.

My favorite part about this episode is Vash's minor cameo near the end. Though, if nothing else, this episode gives Milly more opportunities to shine.

That was sweet, Milly got some nice moments and Meryl got a needed reassurance about family.

This was pointlessly cheesy not even a fun type. These troupe of family fued aren't well executed and it only exist to help develop a character and doesn't bring anything else to the story.

I feel like this episode was a bit of an excuse just to have Meryl and Millie just take center stage which I don't mind them personally because I do like them as characters but at the same time I feel like there isn't really anything to go back onto besides the Nebraska family the whole plot involving the deed to the old man's plant and the son being disowned was kind of filler-ish. It's fairly harmless as an episode nothing bad or anything. I feel on reflection, it's just an episode that doesn't stick out that much. Vash was funny though even if he got relegated to a few minutes at the beginning and at the end. And honestly it did feel a bit dead without him. I feel like upon processing what's happened in this episode, I feel like this kind of episode was needed to bridge the gap between episode 12 and the next one coming up. Sort of a breather episode if you will. Otherwise it's just an okay episode.
