Mithrandir's Review
Overall this is one of my favorite titles. It has a powerful and positive message of hope that really stands out among other space westerns. Trigun is well animated with great music (Just try and find a bassist that doesn't immediately reach for his instrument when Vash's theme starts playing. XD)

Violence details:
This anime is all about gun slinging, so if this bothers you, you're likely better off finding another title.

Nudity details:
There are occasional extramarital relationships, though mostly implied. There are a couple scenes in which Vash is briefly shown stripped (one butt shot), but I would assert that these scenes are central to the plot.

Theological themes details:
The box below may spoil part of this title - do not read it if you want to experience the plot firsthand.

spoilerThere are some "otherworldly" aspects to this title - though they are generally played down. There are beings in this anime (which will eventually factor heavily into the plot) who are shown with wings - and these being provide power to the rest of the people.


Other potential "gotchas":
One of the main characters is constantly smoking. There is a small amount of cursing in some translations. Frankly, I can't really decide if I want to give this a 4 or a 3.
