They only have 7 cities on the whole planet, and so many of them die every episode to crazy shit. Can't Knives just wait them out? It doesn't seem like they have enough people to stay genetically viable

The world does ultimately get its shit together though, in time for Gungrave. Millennial ftw.

gungrave has something to do with trigun? Color me interested.
mdk said
Only sort of. They're made by the same people and the leading theory is they happen on the same planet (the peripheral details, like weird animal life and shit, are the same)It's not a sequel or even really a spiritual-successor, like, at all, but they've got similar story arcs I guess. Gungrave is a lot more down-to-earth and mobbish for a while before it totally goes overboard, but even then it manages to stay pretty cool.

Gungrave I could watch.Vash I couldn't.

You know he's actually a pretty complex character under all that derpyness.
Goldmarble said
That's the problem: Derpyness is something I loathe. I think I tried watching the first 2 episodes, and just couldn't tolerate it.I can deal with some silliness, but Trigun just flooded my threshold of tolerance.

I figured that's what you meant. Hence why I mentioned that Vash actually hides a ton of pain under those smiles, thinking that might change things.But yeah, if you hate derpiness that much, then I guess Trigun's not for you. *shrugs*

There's an episode were shit actually gets serious, it's actually the anime version of where the manga started. Pretty awesome and Vash kicks some serious ass.
Kaga said
Well that depends on which manga.If you're talking about the original manga series, then that would actually be episode 5, I believe. Things get dark at the anime equivalent of the Trigun Maximum manga series, which is episode 12. But yeah, that is what I was trying to get to. The first half of the anime is mostly jokes with some serious moments - the second half of the series is the exact opposite, with mostly with only a few scattered moments of humor.
BrobyDDark said
Yeah, like when one of Knive's henchman kill [REDACTED] making what'sherface (It's been awhile) Sad and trigger-happy.
Kaga said
Well yeah, but that happens in episode 23. (Also, she never really got trigger-happy... just cried a lot.)Regardless, the tone of things gets dark as early in as episode 12. 24 I'd say is the darkest episode in the series, but at least by then you've had a chance to get used to the darker Trigun.
BrobyDDark said
(Again, it's been awhile. .-.)One thing I didn't know before this thread was that Gungrave and Trigun were made by the same people.
Kaga said
Yeah, I only discovered that recently. So now I have to read Gungrave, especially if it has lots of between-the-lines Trigun references like I know Bakuman does with Death Note, since those two were written by the same people.
BrobyDDark said
There aren't any Trigun references in Gungrave, as far as I know. Didn't read the manga. Only watched the show.
