Well I might as well start something in here.
Trigun is one of the most beautiful animes ever made. It's a short saga of a wanted man with $$60,000,000,000 on his head named Vash the Stampede. He is called the Humanoid Typhoon, because everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of destruction. Yet when two young insurance agents named Meryll Stryfe and Milly Thompson are sent out to locate him, they find a clumsy, idiotic, donut-loving womenizer who happens to mysteriously be, a pacifist. Not convinced that he really is the Humanoid Typhoon, Meryll and Milly continue their search, only to find him everywhere they go. Eventually, he proves himself to be Vash the Stampede by stopping a crazed madman and his son from destroying a town.
The show gets really interesting from there. Travelling together, they encounter a orphan-loving priest/gunman named Nicholas D. Wolfwood trying to make money for his church. A strange phsycic named Legato Bluesummers and his band of miscreants called the gung ho guns. And a strange, hidden history behind Vash the Stampede and his odd pledge not to kill people(It seems odd that a man with his title would not kill people. Throughout the show, Meryll and Milly discover that Vash is not the man people claim him to be. That the damage was caused mostly by people trying to get the reward on his head. It's stunning graphics and beautiful story and music all come together in one brilliant action packed adventure.
Main Characters. Vash the Stampede
Vash the Stampede is the main character of the Trigun series. He is known as the "Humanoid Typhoon" and "the Stampede" because everywhere he goes, destruction follows. But that destruction is not always his fault.
Vash is actually a genetically engineered plant/human hybrid. He does not age and has a very soft heart, which makes him prone to crying. Vash was engineered alongside a twin brother, Knives.
There's a lot of mystery surrounding Vash, most of which gets answered by the end of the series. Overall, he's a tender, goofy guy who loves donuts and women.
Vash, being genetically enhanced, is also an incredibly good gun fighter. He can dodge bullets, assess enemies perfectly, and has very advanced intelligence (though he only reveals it a handful of times).
Despite his excellence at fighting, Vash has vowed never to kill anyone (something he learned from Rem, his former teacher). In every circumstance, Vash tries to find a way of rendering enemies defeated without actually killing them.
Can he keep it up?
Meryll Stryfe
Meryl Strife works for the Bernardelli Insurance Company. Her job is basically to follow Vash around and try to prevent damages caused by the Stampede.
At first, Meryl absolutely does not believe that Vash is really Vash. Then, after seeing how skilled Vash is as a fighter, she begins to have a change of heart.
Meryl eventually ends up falling for Vash, though she is too strong a person to admit it.
Milly Thompson
Milly Thompson is Meryl's side-kick and good friend. She is very tall and almost always cheery. Throughout much of the series, Milly comes across as being very shallow. There are, however, key instances where a great deal of intelligence is revealed to be present in her mind. Indeed, Vash even made a similar comment about Milly's intelligence to Wolfwood on one occasion.
Milly is very good-hearted. She's the type of person you want to always be with. She's a very pure creature.
Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a traveling priest with a great love for orphans and other misfortuned children. When Wolfwood meets Vash, it's friendship at first sight.
Wolfwood hides a very mysterious past (that we only find out about toward the end of the series). He's an excellent marksman and is almost as good a fighter as Vash.
Wolfwood's weapon of choice is a giant cross that has tons of little guns inside of it. The cross can also be used as a machine gun and can be used to fire missiles as well.
Legato Bluesummers
Legato is the head of the Gung-Ho Guns. His goal in Trigun is to make Vash suffer eternal sorrow. Legato is extremely powerful, having the ability to telekinetically make anything move. He uses this ability a great deal, even forcing people to do things against their own will.
Legato also was responsible for installing the gun on Vash's arm (though this wasn't explained very much).
Million Knives
Knives is Vash's twin brother. He's just as capable a fighter and just as intelligent as Vash, only he harbors a great grudge against humanity (for no apparent reason). Knives makes it his goal to destroy every human being on the desert planet he's stranded on.
Midvalley the Hornfreak
Midvalley the Hornfreak is one of the more powerful members of the Gung-Ho Guns. He loves playing high-quality music and takes great pride in his saxophone. His music, beside being mellifluous to the ear, also has the special ability to cause shockwaves that can deflect bullets and cause explosions. Vash is almost killed by Midvalley, until he manages to ricochet a few bullets into the Gung-Ho Gun's saxophone. Then, Midvalley kills himself.
Chapel the Evergreen
Chapel the Evergreen looks similar to Wolfwood in dress (because Chapel was responsible for Wolfwood's upbringing). This fighter taught Wolfwood everything he knew, in the hopes that Wolfwood would follow in his footsteps as a Gung-Ho Gun. Wolfwood confronts his old mentor and manages to defeat him (though he chooses not to take his life). After Chapel is defeated, Wolfwood takes his green apple (that he's carried for a long time) and walks away, enjoying its great flavor. Chapel has a clear opportunity to shoot Wolfwood as he's walking away, but he definitely doesn't want to do so. Chapel is then forced, telekenetically, by Legato to kill his student (who doesn't put up a fight, learning from Vash that it's not right to kill people). In the next episode, Chapel tries to avenge Wolfwood's death but proves to be no match for Legato.
Rem Seiburem
Rem is the most important figure in Vash's life. Though she died when Vash was still young, her message of love and peace is still deeply rooted in the Stampede. She's the reason Vash tries never to kill anyone in his battles.
