Description:
The wild gun-crazy action of Trigun gets collected in a new eight-volume DVD boxed set featuring 26 episodes of brand-new art from Takahiro Yoshimatsu, the character designer of Trigun.
Amazon.com:
Who and what is Vash the Stampede, a.k.a. 'The Humanoid Typhoon'? To bounty hunters, he's an outlaw with 60,000,000,000 Double Dollars on his head. To Meryl Stryfe and Millie Thompson of the Bernardelli Insurance Society, he's a walking disaster area who's cost the company a fortune. To otaku, he's one of the most popular characters in anime. Based on Yasuhiro Nightow's manga, this comic adventure takes place in the distant future on a desert planet that looks like the American Old West. Vash wanders from town to town, unsuccessfully pursuing peace, doughnuts, and 'the mayfly known as love.' Meryl and Millie follow him, trying to minimize the destruction, but Vash's only real friend is the gun-totin' preacher Nicholas Wolfwood. Despite their grudging affection, Wolfwood articulates the other characters' thoughts when he tells Vash, 'When you're around, things always seem to get worse!'
Anime heroes tend to be either cold-blooded warriors who kill for honor (the Gundam Wing pilots) or unlikely nerds who grow into the role of warrior when it's thrust upon them (Shinji Ikari in Evangelion). Sometimes comic and kooky, sometimes gentle and earnest, Vash reveres life and agonizes over the bloodshed he inadvertently causes. He'd rather eat than demonstrate his amazing marksmanship: he doesn't fire a shot until the fifth episode, although one of his arms is actually a gun. Voice actor Johnny Yong Bosh articulates both Vash's suffering and adolescent exuberance whenever he sees a pretty girl with exceptional panache. The runaway popularity of Trigun seems to have surprised the filmmakers. Although no plans have been announced for additional animation, a new manga series has appeared, Trigun Maximum. It seems unlikely that the artists would prematurely end the adventures of a figure with so much potential--and so many fans. --Charles Solomon

Rating: - Trigun box set=awesome
This boxset was awesome to find for such a good price. I recommend buying the set that comes within the 30-40 dollar range. The customer service from those individuals was outstanding. The quality was awesome on these dvds...
Rating: - WORTH $$60 BILLION DOLLARS
He spends his days whining, complaining, scampering and sucking down every donut in site. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? He's the perfect anime hero. A friend introduced me to Vash the Stampede about five years ago and after I saw one disk of his set I broke down and ordered my own. This series is fun. That's the best way I can decribe it. As with any review I make I keep it short so that I don't ruin your fun. This is one series you've got to experiance for yourself. It is true manga. So hunt down your own ... Read More
Rating: - A great anime
This was definitely one of the best I have ever seen. The characters are well developed and the plot isn't bad. The main character's personality is so great you just can't help but laugh and cheer him on. I don't want to spoil anything but this is something that you should check out.
