I actually like the beginning of the series more than the ending episodes.

My second aattempt at watching this series. It's been "on hold" for a long time, First time it failed to catch my interest, and I only got to ep4~ or so, but this time it started to look somewhat promising right on the 1st episode.. Have to try watcing the whole of this series this time.. : )

Ha ha ha that was a great episode xD, even though animation is old school makes up for it in content, great way to start off this series and Vash seems like a great character.

Trigun is awesome.
I've read the Manga., i saw it on Adult swim before and i just had to watch it again.
The first episode was just fantastic, it gave you action and of course, Comedy.

Ah, I love the anime from before 2000, they remind me of my childhood. Although I didn't watch Trigun in my youth, I am doing this now and what can I say: superb :D I loved the first episode, so funny. The confusion about who really is Vash the Stampede is really interesting too :D

So this seems to be more or less the anti-Cowboy Bebop. Shows a lot of promise from the first episode -- there's a good mix of slapstick comedy and more subtle comedy.

Finally trying to watch this through completely. Tried once about 5 years ago--> Stopped after episode 3.

I'm also gonna find out how good the english dub is by watching everyother episode in the original voice.

And the episode itself had action and comedy. Just as it should have.

Chains of misunderstandings with flavor of comedy.This might be the summary of first episode.
Compared to Cowboy Bebop,which I watched recently,this is a joke,but funny one.This animation quality is terrible
But I heard that only first 8 or 9 episodes are bad,after that it gets better.

I watched the first few on a volume 1 dvd years ago but never bought the rest and now am finally watching all the way through. I love the first episode, so funny! I love Vash <3

The 90's were the bomb, I agree! I love the 90's and 90's anime <3

I don't know what was lame about the animation.

I'm glad I put this off for so long. I needed a good series to watch and if this first episode is any indication I am going to love this. Such a funny episode, Vash seems like he's going to be a blast to watch as a MC.

This is like my 6th time rewatching, and the first ep is still one of the best EPs I've seen in any anime.

Finally bought this series again. I owned to original am Geneon Collector's see. (Loaned it to a friend who never returned it...) Was actually my first anime ever purchased, and first I ever watch all the way through. This is what started it all for me.

Vash is still one of the best characters ever! I don't know how the manga ends, so I don't know how it's relevant, but I can't believe they haven't made more seasons of this shows. The movie is great to, but I would love another season if there's source material.

Gonna enjoy binging this again!

Urahara Out!!

I will wait on the show's explanation for the bounty on Vash, as well as a look into the currency's worth in their universe.

With that weapon of hers, I thought Milly Thompson would have been more capable in defending herself and Meryl Stryfe from those thugs.

I've been looking to watch this for some time but I was waiting to get my hands on the subbed version because I don't really like the spanish dub that I found everywhere. The OP is really killer, a very progressive guitar track yet somehow funky. I don't find the clumsy characters/scenes very funny, Vash is supposed to be a badass but he is ridiculed
