Trigun - Vash the Stampede
Vash the Stampede is a notorious gun-slinger in the wild west ... or is he? With a 60 billion double-dollar price on his head, he's awfully ... goofy!
 | It's the old west with a twist. There are old saloons with pinball machines in them. Sherrifs with 6-shooters face off with a random selection of twanging guitars, ripping rock riffs or heavy metal bass lines. It's a blend of a variety of styles. |
And into all of this strolls Vash. He's got a flowing red trenchcoat and cool Janis Joplin sunglasses. He's the epitome of cool. That is, until something surprises him, at which point he turns into a clumsy, goofy teenage boy - his normal self. And this probably is what makes him so endearing.
Chasing after Vash are an endless stream of bounty hunters. There are also a pair of female insurance agents hoping to put an end to his path of destruction. The women, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, aren't convinced that this silly guy could possibly be the notorious gunman.
Vash doesn't hurt anybody - in fact he doesn't like the sight of blood - but the tales about him spread around the western towns like tumbleweeds in a typhoon. And so his reputation gets him into trouble, his bounty attracts in a wealth of interesting characters, and through it all his humor and cocky attitude save the day.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the black cat - he shows up in every episode, always lurking in the background somewhere!
Quite an entertaining romp - just don't expect anything very serious!
