Review of Trigun

After watching the first episode I was inclined to delete the series because I thought Vash was the stupidest anime character I've seen. But I decided to give him a chance and found a revelation in his craziness.

What makes Vash the greatest anime character for me is his determination. Most of the reviews praise or criticize him for his ethics. I don't care about them. You may think they were honourable or plain stupid. The impressive part is how Vash sticks to them even when he is angry, hurt, afraid or in danger. He believes in Rem with everything he has and sacrifices all he is for the path he has chosen. People hate him, love, insult, scorn, threaten, try to seduce him but they and their opinions don't matter because he has put his trust in Rem.

He knows the feeling of despair, longs for stillness but doesn't let himself to be lulled or tricked by his wants. He is determined!

I don't want to dismiss the other characters for each has a different beauty and depth. Each takes a different path due to the differences in their characters and makes this anime even greater. But for me Vash and his spiritual journey to Rem was the most significant..

Trigun is a masterful mix of epiphany, fun and sorrow. A must watch! Even if you are not an anime fan you should give this series a try.
