Trigun Complete Series
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I’ll admit that I’m biased about Trigun. Trigun is my favorite anime and it’s a classic. Let me share, with you, why I love it.
First off, Trigun has some really great characters. They all have different motivations, values, and backgrounds. Vash the Stampede is very much motivated by a strong sense of internal morality. Merry is driven by her sense of duty. Millie is a loyal and caring individual. These characters are developed really well and it’s interesting to see how they react to different situations.
The plot follows Vash the Stampede through his various trials and tribulations. It starts very light hearted, as the main plot isn’t revealed too early on, but does get more serious and sad when you get further into the main plot line. It keeps it very interesting with some of the hardships that Vash faces.
It has an interesting soundtrack. Most of the soundtrack is in a Western or jazz style. It definitely improves the feel of the show and provides great effect.
Now, the animation definitely dates it. You can tell that it’s an older one, but the art still looks good. If you’re not a fan of older animation, you might take issue with this.
Overall, I think it’s a classic that improves any collection. You can definitely rewatch it and still enjoy it. The combination of great plot, awesome soundtrack, and intriguing characters culminated in a great anime experience. I’d definitely recommend it.

A true classic! Funny yet can be depressing with an amazing story. It combines some of the funniest and absurd comedy with drama. Vash has to be one of the most contradictory characters in any anime. A feared gunslinger who hates killing. Nearly Immortal, yet vulnerable. Powerful enough to destroy all life on Earth, but upset at the death of a bug. It really is amazing.
Makes your really question the sense of good and evil as he tries to help someone you ultimately put another at a disadvantage. Story touches on the concepts of Life and Death, Good and evil as the Vash trys to deal with problems threw out the series. One quote comes to mind “To save a butterfly you must kill the spider, however you realize sooner or later you have become a spider”.
Its a excellent value, over 15 years old yet still has a near cult following. I would highly recommend this series to any anime collector.

So the series itself is great, one of my favorites. But as I’m watching an episode right now from the DVD… There is odd artifacting in the images, possibly from compression… It wobbles slightly and refocuses constantly & you see blemishes pop up from time to time, kind of like how you’d see if you were watching on a VHS tape. I’m not an expert, so I can’t say for sure but that’s just my opinion. It seems like they just ported the VHS tapes to DVD. The series itself is intact, every episode is there, audio is good. It’s just the image quality itself is pretty bad. It’s just, kinda disorienting. Mostly because of the constantly slight wobble & artifacting of the images while watching. I’m not sure if it’s my player, but none of my other DVD series I own have this strangeness in the image. If you sit far enough from your TV you probably won’t notice it, tho. It’s kind of sad that such a great anime gets such poor treatment when it comes to its DVD release.
The set itself is still pretty good, tho. And, even with the low image quality it’s still completely watchable. Most people might not even notice what I’m seeing anyways. In the end, it’s up to you whether or not to buy it. I say, if you want to own Trigun at a reasonable price, get it. It’s still worth it.
