Trigun Stampede (2023)
I came for a Copper but found a Gold Mine
When I picked this show for the winter season. I didn't expect it to be this good. I thought it to be some action comedy anime, well it is an action comedy anime but it has much darker aspects to it. The story goes about Vash the stampede, an ace gunman who despises violence but has immense bounty in his head thus making it hard to maintain his pacifist ways and there are Meryl and Roberto De Niro who are reporters that follows him around to catch good story and prehaps if they could clear his name as the crimes his accused of doing aren't his but his brother.
First two episodes are just silly and action packed as Vash defeats bonty hunters and defense a helpless town but this silly tone of the serios take 180 degree turn in episode when Vash's brother shows up. Who is a legimately terrorfying villian. This seris explores themes such as friendship, betrayl,murder, brainwashing and consequnces of pacifism.
Trigun Stampede has some flamboyent and unique cast of characters. I really don't want to spoil their introduction so I won't talk about them. Vash himself is a unique protaganist, at first I saw him as a bland action anime hero but then we get pieces of his past revealed thus making one of the best protaginst in anime I seen so far. Despite being pacifist Vash lives in a brutal world so many times his pacifism is tested to the limit gving tension and drama.
This anime is fully CGI but unlike many other shows this anime is gorgeous and it is better than some 2D. CGI is very fuild and action scenes are top notch. Highly recommend giving this show a chance you would be surprised.
