Description:
A city is dying, but when they decide Vash's bounty is the cure, will they find it comes with too high a price? The reckless pursuit of rewards or revenge sometimes leads away from the true goals of life - love and peace. It's time for Vash to show what he can do when his past comes back to haunt him.
Amazon.com:
The tone of this space western darkens as director Satoshi Nishimura hints at the hero's curious past. In a two-part episode, the people of Inepril City try to capture Vash: they need the $$60,000,000,000 reward on his head to repair their ancient power plant. When Vash defeats the evil Nebraska Family with his extraordinary marksmanship, he gives the reward to the townspeople to fix the plant. Meryl has to admit that the often clownish blond stranger really is Vash the Stampede.
Elizabeth, the beautiful repair engineer, believes Vash destroyed her hometown years ago and is seeking revenge. But Vash has no memory of what happened to the city; he can only recall the ruins. Vash leaves on a sand steamer, but a young stowaway takes advantage of the soft heart beneath his cool exterior. The kid helps the Bad Lad gang hijack the steamer, but the plan backfires as the vicious leader threatens to destroy the vehicle and kill everyone aboard in a cliffhanger ending.
The increased violence and choppy cutting don't always mix satisfactorily with the comic tone set in the first episodes, but Nishimura piques the viewer's curiosity about who and what Vash really is. --Charles Solomon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Amazing Series
Trigun is by far one of my favorite series in the world. The humor of Vash is great and the fact he is being chashed by the Insurance Agency women Milly and Maril they add even more humor. This is a semi-serious series. There are very series situations but for the most part this is just a hilarious series. I can't say it enough.. FUNNY STUFF RIGHT HERE!
Rating:  - Vash knows something.
The show now begins to develop something of a plot (*lacking in series 1) and the episodes this time around are better constructed, We get a small glimpse of something of Vash's mysterious past, and start to get the sense that he knows something, actually a lot of something. Not to mention, just HOW old is he anyway?
Rating: - It begins to deepen...
The first volume of Trigun was mostly pure, sometimes gratuitous fun as goofy, ostentatiously klutzy wanted gunman Vash the Stampede got himself in and out of trouble, often dragging entire towns down with him. In this second volume, a plot very slowly beings to appear, as Vash's past is hinted at. It's still not enough to base anything on, but it keeps the viewer hooked with promises of revelations to come. Also, moral themes such as responsability and redemption are gradually brought up.

The man in red with the spiky hair continues his adventures as the insurance girls again run into him. Vash the Stampede, the walking one man destruction machine continues his adventures in search of love and peace in this series.

Rating: - Begins to evolve into the "Trigun" I know and love
This video contains episodes 5-8 of the series. Essentailly, it contains two two-parters that begin to open up the continuity of the series. These episodes also begin to take on a darker, more sinister tone.
The first two episodes revolve around an entire town that sets out to capture Vash and collect the reward on his head in order to save their town. The writing is very good, drawing the townspeople as good people put into an impossible situation. The real Vash begins to emerge here, ... Read More
