Editorial Reviews

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

Product 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trigun, August 1, 2006

This review is from: Trigun - Limited Collector's Edition II (With Embossed Tin Case And Keychain) (DVD)

There are several reasons why this set is better then the less expensive edition. First of all, it has 5.1 surround sound which I think is worth the price jump. It also has better extra features and comes with an attractive Keychain, not as cool as the bullet necklace from collectors edition I but still a neat thing to have. If you are a trigun fan I highly recomend this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good! You must have already seen Vol.! :D, April 22, 2001

This review is from: Trigun - Lost Past (Vol. 2) (DVD)

Well, if you are reading this, then you must have already seen the first volume, "The $$60 Billion Man".

You won't be disappointed. BUT from now on there are only three episodes per DVD (except for the last volume).

Everyone says that this DVD is some sort of turning point, but it really isn't. The action gets upped a bit, but it still has a lot of great humor in it. The story doesn't really get much more serious until Vol. 4 (the halfway point).

Episode 5: Vash vs. an entire town Episode 6: First look at the 'lost technology' Episode 7: First episode of a 2 part series set on a train.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like the first one, you'll love the 2nd..., June 24, 2000

This review is from: Trigun - Lost Past (Vol. 2) (DVD)

in the first tape it seems like deep down Vash is brave, but when he realizes what he is doing he chickens out and is a coward... but that's only in the fist tape, in the second one he actually shoots some, if you look closely you can see him use his second of his three guns (hence the name TRIgun) and he appears to be quite a bit braver and not so much a geek... and you actually peek into the past... not a big peek, i expect that in future episodes, but it is still a peak... if you are afraid of spending money without seeing it... borrow it from a friend... and then buy it..
