Uncommon card · No. 182207

Trigun is a Japanese anime television series based on the manga series of the same name, written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. It was directed by Satoshi Nishimura at Madhouse, with Yōsuke Kuroda handling series composition. It aired for 26 episodes on TV Tokyo between April and October 1998. Set on the fictional planet known as No Man's Land, the plot follows Vash the Stampede, a famous gunman constantly fighting bounty hunters seeking the immense bounty on his head. Despite being an adaptation of the manga, the narrative differs in the second half because Nightow was still writing the manga at that time. The series was praised for its narrative and fight scenes, though some critics found the animation quality of some episodes lacking. Nevertheless, Vash gained widespread popularity as a hero because of his pacifist beliefs, and the themes addressed in the series have also been praised. Nightow expressed satisfaction with the adaptation.
