Considerations This is a spoilerfree review. 80+ in my rating means very good. Ive added one of the anime soundtracks to the soundtrack section. If you wish scroll down start it and use it as your background music while you read. The Story Vash the Stampedes a joyful gunslinging pacifist so why does he have a 6 million bounty on his head? Thats whats puzzling rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner when they look into the vigilante only to find someone who hates blood. The story of TRIGUN is pretty good. I knew the old version is regarded as a classic and since I havent watched the old version nor read the manga that would be my first introduction to this work. Add some dystopian elements some nice drama and some mystery and it didnt take much for me to be hooked and wanting to watch more of it. The Art The art was amazing. I personally had terrible experiences with fullCGI anime but after a lot of soft talk from a friend of mine I put my prejudices aside and started watching. If you have the same ideas as I did just give it a chance. It took me 12 episodes to realize that this CGI was very beautiful with a really nice framerate in the animation nice details and even particles on the screen. 420https://media.tenor.com/MEiDgWvbJewAAAAd/triguntrigunstampede.gif Characters were pretty well animated especially when it comes to diversity. I cant think of any character that resembled anyone and even when dealing with the arid punk some characters had prosthetics which were pretty well done. Guns weapons and overall gadgets were pretty nice even considering the amount of exaggeration that a work like this one uses giant guns etc.. 420https://64.media.tumblr.com/f837d0aebf0a92060b0d52f8f5a1db37/0012f0a3851a4bf8e4/s540x810/90d633f3ab0d8e851c60917c7873bff5b52204f5.gifv The Characters There are an average number of characters in this work. Vash the reporters the villain and a few others. Some side characters are well developed but the main screen time is devoted to Vash and as the series progresses to the villain of the series. I didnt feel that it was lacking at any point and have no complaints in regards to the story itself. As I always like to talk about the main character Vash was really charismatic. He presented himself as one in the first episode and even with all the tribulations and hardships of the season he maintains his ground and while he can seem somewhat airheaded and childish at the beginning but with time I was able to start to understand his background and connect more with his ideals. The Sound The soundtrack was really good. Theres a mix of westernstyle songs that help set the mood of the old west gunslinger vibe as well as some classical beats based mostly on piano. Overall its a very adventurelike soundtrack but even in emotional moments I was able to feel the presence and weight of the drama. https://www..com/watch?v=kMpSLT0w6ko Conclusion If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point: Watch it. If youre discouraged about the full CGI tag believe me I was also like that but the art is amazing the soundtrack is pretty good and I had a really nice time watching this anime even with this being my first exposure to TRIGUN.
