Review of Trigun (1998)
A world reminiscent of the Wild West. A much sought-after criminal turns out to be an easy-going dude until people die. That’s when his long past catches up.
A post-apocalyptic Western and enemy-of-the-week action comedy. The ambience shifts are poorly executed and the stylized biophysics are bad, but there’s a hint of substance. A strong example of the secular yurodivy or “holy fool” motif in Japanese animation.
