Great to see Trigun get the HD treatment it deserves on Blu-ray! The story takes place sometime in season 1 it seems. The English dub was very good and overall great. Some voices will be different if you’re used to the English dub in the show. Picture is so clear and colors are vibrant! Story is engaging and fun. The sound is great as well and comes through very clear. Would love to see another Trigun movie and see the show get a Blu-ray HD release like this! Reversible cover is great to!

I was a fan of the original Trigun series when it ran on AS so when I heard a movie came out I knew I would buy it eventually. After watching it a few times is it worth hanging out with Vash again or is it not worth your time. For those who haven’t watch Trigun basically the premise is that in the future on a desert planet, there is a legendary outlaw Vash the Stampede that is able to destroy entire towns, and people pretty much think he’s a messenger of the devil, and have given him the nickname the humanoid typhoon. Millie and Meryl two insurance agents are send out to find the outlaw and if they can’t stop them at least limit the damage. Who they find though isn’t what was rumored. Vash is a blond hair goofy dork who struggles with the contradictions of fighting for absolute pacifism, and is chronically cursed with bad luck. Now most anime movies that come after the series is completed happen after the main story, Trigun badlands rumble though isn’t quite clear where it happens in the story. According to the interviews it happens before Vash blows a hole in the moon (which makes sense considering that the Vash after the incident is a little less foolish and a lot more melancholy) however Wolfwood has turned his cross into a machine gun which didn’t happen until the later parts of the anime (it could however open up to reveal a gun rank in which he kept his weapons). The only line that deals with stuff that comes later in the anime is Gasback asking why Vash hasn’t aged (note: for those who haven’t seen the anime Vash isn’t human but instead a creation of the plants that give the towns power) Story 20 years before the anime begins a criminal called Gasback was robbing a bank and he was finally betrayed by his own men. However Vash was also in the bank and kept both sides from killing each other. Gasback tells Vash he has rolled a dice and now must except the conquest of that roll. Skip to modern times and Vash is on a steamroller to Mecca city along with a female bounty hunter named Amelia. Once there he finds out that Milly and Meryl are also there send to protect a 5 billion dollar statue they are insuring (and they are none too happy that the humanoid typhoon. What nobody knows is that the mayor is one of the gang members who betrayed Gasback and now he is out to destroy everything the mayor has including the town. Helping him though is one of Vashs best friends Wolfwood. The story is pretty much anime filler but it works in this case since the series has long since been over and it does do a good job of feeling like another adventure with Vash. The story is pretty well written to get the character motifs down. The new character of Amillea is interesting she is someone who is literally allergic to men and her dealing with Vash’s over the top come ons are pretty funny. It captures the humor pretty good. There is some clichés though with her character her relationship with Gasback can be seen coming a mile away. However when and how it comes out though is a bit different than the usual anime pacing making the payoff actually worth it. The returning characters are captured nicely Vash is still is goofy and unlucky self, the black cat that always follows him is seen in the beginning of the movie (it wouldn’t be trigun without the appearance of the black cat). Meryil and Milly only have bit parts though when they appear there entertaining enough to put up with. Wolfwood and Vash best friends who disagree a bit on peRead full review
Plays out just like one of the episodes on TV only with perhaps a bit more irony added in. Should be an enjoyable watch even for someone who had never seen the series but being familiar with the characters beforehand from watching the series is definitely a plus. Although the stories and characters are much different, if you liked Cowboy Bebop, you will enjoy Trigun. I highly recommend it.
I was amazed. Entertained and captivated throught the whole movie by the picture. Audio was great as well.
Hope this leads to a continuation series. I would recommend this Blu-ray to trigun fans and to any anime fans in general.
