I've been trying to watch it for ages... and I finally saw it today. I had a feeling I'd like Trigun... but I love it to bits! I already had a Vash figure and a wallscroll... but I suddenly feel an urge to buy all the DVD's and every bit of Trigun merchandise that I can. :D
I think Trigun is really original, in that it takes the classic anime western-with-a-bit-of-post-apocalypicness setting, and inserts some hilarious characters. The action scenes with Vash are truly amazing and unpredictable... in most series, the hero would smash his enemies to bits, or at least try to... in Trigun, a whole load of weird stuff that is usually accidents or coincidences lead to Vash's victory. And even then, Vash seems to have a habit of losing and getting captured. :D (I also really liked the way that throughout the whole of the first 4 episodes, it is never actually stated outright that our hero IS Vash the Stampede, but you know it right from teh beginning.)
So, all in all, it struck me as an original and entertaining series. I'm going to have to stick with this one!
And one last note, for those of you that know my posting habits - no, I'm not going to make a Millie X Meryl thread. :p
