Fans of this rollicking sci-fi Western discovered that its hero, Vash the Stampede, wasn't human when he loosed a blast of energy that burned a huge crater in the Fifth Moon in episode 16. "Rem Saverem" reveals that he and his twin brother, Knives, were raised aboard a ship seeking new worlds for ecological refugees. Vash's awareness of his alien nature--and the example of their loving substitute mother--taught him compassion for all living things. Knives grew cruel and bitter, mocking the humans he despised as his inferiors. Are they angels? Aliens? Itinerant preacher and gunslinger Nicholas Wolfwood finds Vash living in a two-bit town, trying to forget the Fifth Moon incident. Although he seeks peace and anonymity, Vash can't stay hidden for long: who else would strip in the town square (revealing hideous scars) and act like a dog to prevent a bandit from harming someone? In "Hang Fire," Meryl and Milly of the Bernardelli Insurance Society are reassigned to "Vash duty." It's a happy reunion, although they're all reluctant to reveal how glad they are to be together again. But trouble is just over the horizon: Legato Bluesummers's plot to destroy Vash is advancing like a juggernaut. Contains these episodes: 17. "Rem Saverem," 18. "Goodbye for Now," 19. "Hang Fire." Rated 13 Up for violence and brief nudity. --Charles Solomon

This review is from: Trigun Vol. 6 - Project Seeds (DVD)

The Trigun series has unfolded from a funny string of gags and wonderful action into a story of near-epic proportions. Volume 6 of the series, Project Seeds, begins by uncovering some of the mystery surrounding the past of both Vash the Stampede and the mysterious desert planet the series takes place on. Wolfwood (A character making appearances since the third DVD collection) also shows up for most of this collection and reveals a bit of information about his past and motives. For a time, it takes a serious attitude, something hardly present up to this point in the series, but by the last episode, it's returned to classic Vash craziness and fun.

Overall, Trigun has just the right blend of cinematic and story components to make it inspiring and a joy to watch. It's definitely a must for any anime fan but at the same time, stays interesting and tame enough for Just about anybody to enjoy it. It is, however, somewhat violent and strong language comes to the surface occasionally so I wouldn't recommend it for small children.

On a final note, I wouldn't recommend watching any part of the series without first viewing and understanding all the previous Trigun episodes. Each one reveals a bit more and references those that came before it. Start from the beginning with the $$60,000,000,000 Man.

This review is from: Trigun: Project Seeds [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This volume contains two outstanding 'serious' episodes: "Rev Saverem" and "Goodbye for Now." Suprisingly, "Rev Saverem" does not pick up where the previous episode left off. Instead, it flashes back to Vash's childhood (130 years before). Here, we get the first real glimpses of Rev, Vash's surrogate mother, and Knives, his brother (?). The writing is outstanding here. A totally serious and dramatic episode. We see how Rev's kindness and love instilled a gentle spirit and reverence for life in Vash. We also see how Knives fed off other's mistrust and used it to justify his own evil. Alternately poignant and unsettling, this episode provides more clues as to the nature of Vash and Knives. In true "Trigun" fashion, however, we learn enough to confirm that Vash and Knives definitely aren't human, but we're given no explanation as to what they are.

"Goodbye for Now" picks up two years after episode 16. Vash has abandoned his identity as the Humanoid Typhoon and is lkiving in peace and anonymity. Of course, since he is Vash the Stampede, the peace can't last. The appearance of Nicholas V. Wolfwood foreshadows a situation that only Vash can handle. And so it goes. Vash is forced to again take up his burden and head out with Wolfwood in search of Knives. Plotwise, this episode offers few surprises, but, by this time, "Trigun" is really hitting its stride. The writing balances the series' usual mix of comedy and emotion. The reactions of Vash's adoptive family to his departure are poignant and sad.

If you're reading this review, you've probably seen some of the earlier episodes of "Trigun." If not, and you're an anime fan, what are you waiting for?

This review is from: Trigun Vol. 6 - Project Seeds (DVD)

I found the fifth volume of Trigun (Angel Arms) to be a disappointment because of it's cliche-riddled "filler" stories and the lack of progress in the overall storyline (aside from the little surprise the title implies). With the sixth volume, Trigun seems to have, more or less, gotten back on track. The writers this time around, thankfully laid off the cheese so you won't find yourself muttering "that's so corny" too much throughout the viewing. Although this volume contains more filler stories, they are at the very least better written and provide a lot of insight into Vash's (the main protagonist) past. The other thing I really liked about volume 6 is the menu screen, that in and of itself is a piece of art.

However, there are still some minor gripes I have with this volume. The big one is running time. Three episodes per DVD is annoying since in the later volumes, one of the three episodes is usually pretty dumb. I just wished Pioneer had followed Bandai's lead and put 4-5 episodes per volume, like they did with Cowboy Bebop.
