Trigun is an anime series by Madhouse based on the namesake manga series by Yasuhiro Nightow.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The show has a good balance between a serious tone and a comedy tone, even if this was made many times before, It gives a new thing compared to other similar anime shows.
 * 2) The animation looks very good by late 1990's standards, and it aged well.
 * 3) Vash The Stampede (The main character) is very likable because he is a very good-hearted person who tries to help others using a non-lethal force despite being a gunner.
 * 4) Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are also likable and very supportive to Vash.
 * 5) Intense and well made action scenes.
 * 6) Marvelous character designs, especially for the villains.
 * 7) Awesome soundtrack which perfectly fits with the tone and the themes of the show and gives a good western vibe.
 * 8) The "next episode" segments often give good morals to the viewers.
 * 9) Great voice acting in both Japanese and dubbed versions.
 * 10) Some moments are sad.
 * 11) Kuroneko is adorable despite being just a running gag that has no propouse on the story

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some moments are mean-spirited, even Vash and Meryl can be jerks at times.
 * 2) The villains are less memorable than the main characters.

Reception
Despite the show being not very successful in Japan, it had a very good reception in the west by audiences and critics alike.
