Summary[edit]
An anime and manga series about a legendary outlaw named Vash the Stampede, who is actually a pacifist and a big crybaby, and all the property damage was only caused by his incredible bad luck. Two insurance agents are sent to keep him under control. Hilarity ensues. But then sadness ensues, as we find out about Vash's mysterious past, and learn about his well intentioned extremist twin brother Knives. The manga follows the same idea, but becomes radically different from the anime at a certain point, and has two characters that never appear in the anime. The beginning of the anime is an action comedy at heart, but gets serious later on. The first manga from which the beginning of the anime is based on, simply titled "Trigun", is pure dramedy from the start. The manga's sequel, Trigun Maximum, is dark and mostly character development, plot, and action based, but there's a generous sprinkling of series staple comedic scenes to even out the tension. The latter parts of the series has a strong theme of extreme pacifism vs. kill or be killed.
