I feel so sorry for saying this but Trigun is yet another old classic that didn't live up to my expectation...
It isn't bad, objectively, as we have a solid story, with good character development, and good animation as well. But the pacing, oh my, it just felt horrible. I couldn't tell where they went wrong, but I can tell they did for sure!
The real story only starts once you've watched about half of the show, in order for you to know the characters better I suppose, but I hate watching a show without any direction to follow so it felt kinda boring. Then the story kicked in and damn I loved it! But then again I just felt bored, and I don't know why.
I mean, the story was pretty interesting and I just wanted to know more, but at the same time, my wanting to continue watching diminished with each episode.
Another reason for that boringness may be that I couldn't relate to Vash, he's cool most of time, but sometimes, when he feels depressed, I just feel like he's overreacting, although he has all the right to be depressed. I really got mixed feelings with this show... Interesting and boring at the same time, MC both relatable and unrelatable at the same time as well...
And another thing that I hated was that I was left with some unanswered questions at the end, and this always get under my skin...
What exactly are plants?
How were they created?
What are those huge fudging bulbs in some cities? (although I may already have an idea)
I'm planning on watching Trigun Stampede after this, maybe I'll get some answers, but I would've like to get them all in the original show.
I'm just writing this review cause I felt like I had to justify giving such a low score to this classic, but I still hope it will help some people decide if they wanna watch it or not
