Trigun

Maxium might be done in 9 to 20-ish months (knowing that they release every volume 3 months apart, thank you Dark Horse!). They are 12 books in all...thats just google-ing around google.com. I can't wait till the end b/c the art is more insane then the anime, and everyone in the manga has more devolpment.

I'll agree that the anime was more depressing then the manga, but the thing it lacked was char development and action (see up). if the manga became the anime version word for word....think of how great the series would be....

Trigun is an interesting anime especially since it's a mix of personality types. You've got Vash who is very funnny but has his moments of being serious and kicks ass, also his sad moments.
Knives who is a complete asshole but still totally rocks as a kick ass guy, he also gets really scared at points when Vash hurts him.
Wolfwood who is most of the time serious and doesn't want to mess around, but he also has his funny moments...Especially when he thinks Vash turns into Kuraneko. (sp?)
Milly, who is just a cheerfull girl that really has a thing goin for Wolfwood.
And Meryl who is strict, and a stuckup, but really shows her affection for Vash.
Most animes in my opinion don't really have a lot of people who have a mixed personality.

I actually thought the characters were quite on the transparent side. Vash and Meryl are downright stereotypical.

The characters do seem to come off as a little "flat" in the anime but if you really look into them, they're not as 2 dimensional as they seem (no pun intended). There wasn't as much character background as there should have been, and a lot of things that would've made the characters more believable were left out (i.e. the whole Tessla thing and Vash trying to commit suicide when he was a kid). Don't get me wrong; it's actually one of my favorite animes in that it's so fun to watch, but it certainly is lacking some crucial plot points and artistic style.

Can't wait for Trigun X. I really hope the rumors about it being based off of the manga are true.

What??? Vash tried to commit suicide??? Definitely didn't expect that one. My image of Vash is strong, funny and a little stupid in some things (probably why he's a little funny). Yep, no, no, definitely didn't pick him as the suicidal type.

Trigun X? So, is this going to be continuing from the previous story or is it going to be from the beginning to the end but based on the manga version? Ok, I'm confused...

Yeah, that was when he was a lot younger and on the ship and stuff. Knives and Vash are explring the ship and find another humanoid plant like themselves as a mangled specimen in a giant test-tube (Tessla). They hack into the computer to find out more, and realize that the crew had experimented on her since her birth and had eventually killed her with that testing. They both slip into a kind of despair for a while; Knives disapears for a couple of days and Vash locks himself in a room. Rem eventually gets him out and tries to get him to eat some fruit, but she leaves the knife on the tray and Vash makes a grab for it to go at his own throat. She grabs the blade with her bare hand, saving Vash and injuring herself badly. It becomes a major turning point for him and his character developement.

Anyway, I really haven't been able to find out too much about Trigun X except that it's coming out in Japan in 2007, and that it might be based off of Trigun Maxximum (which picks up 2 years after Vash goes to live with Lina and the granny). The only real article I coud find on the subject is above in the 8th post.

Oh...I see I see. So that's what happened. Ooo...I should really read the manga version sometimes. I have this habbit...when I've watched an Anime I don't really want to read the Manga because sometimes I have this feeling it'll ruin it even though the Anime is made after the Manga version. Ahaha...I should really be more flexible.

You really should... it's an awesome manga. I don't think it'll ruin the anime for you. Even though the manga's way better artistically, I still like how fun the anime is, and it's still my favorite anime series. But the manga is also my favorite... So they're both pretty damn good. Just my oppinion though

Some remember him as the second Black Power ranger... but did you know he does Voice Acting??

what does this have to do with trigun??

Im pretty sure he does the english voice of Vash.... creepy isnt it?

ShinySilver · Post by **ShinySilver** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 8:43 am

Yup, that he does, along with Canada in Akira and Kiba in Wolf's rain. Johnny Yong Bosch is my favorite voice actor

And yes, he was the black Power Ranger. I think it was the original Mighty Morphin series too, which is just too cool.
