Review
Having already become accustomed to Trigun's aloof hero pretending to be a klutz when actually possessing serious talent, these three episodes don't only come across as being predictable, but also border on repetitive too.
And while I'm tempted to write off this volume as pure filler, the neo-Western setting and infinitely likable characters managed to sustain my interest. Suffice to say, I'm in love with the setting and atmosphere of this show, and despite its light-hearted lapses into slapstick comedy, Trigun consistently retains it's gritty, serious tone by virtue of its desolate landscapes and broken cities. Like-wise, the characters remain distinctive, likable and colourful; from Milly's nice but dumb persona to the larger than life cyborg villains who are hired to capture Vash- there is never a boring moment in Trigun and for a show that I've pegged as being predictable, this is no small feat.
Trigun #2 sees this show settling into the familiar, ever so predictable formula of Vash saving the day, but also retains the strength of character and intriguing neo-Western setting that defined my ardent love for the first volume. And while I'm certainly left hoping for a little more in terms of character development and back-story, Trigun #2 is a good hour's worth of fun that even the most jaded action fans couldn't help but enjoy.
7/10
