I should mention that the action sequences so far are not exceptional, but the gun play is rather clever. The fights are not John Woo clever, but I am sure that the quality will only improved based on what I have heard from those who have seen most of this series. Trigun has promise to become a great action series and its comedy and main character almost make this title a must buy. Only those who have problems with slow development of characters that TV shows always suffer from and those who cannot get into sci-fi (the true weirdoes) may not be able to get into this series. It is pricy to collect the entire series, but so far it is a solid buy for those who want 100 minutes of virtually guaranteed entertainment. Do you want

There
are very few flaws with this nearly irresistible sci-fi story. Despite
the dark look the box presents, the first four episodes of this series
are rather light and comedic. Somewhat simpleminded villains, an odd couple
for side kicks, and an apparently clueless hero is used a lot in anime,
but it really works well for the TV series. At some points, the plots
become overly moralistic, but the high moral standards of Vash along with
his humorous strategies and unnatural abilities make him one of the best
heroes in all of the realms of Japanese animation. As for the technical
qualities of Trigun, the art work is good and the soundtrack is a great
mix of western (spaghetti style) background music and good old J-pop.
