A Nice Surprise

[heavenly_pearl]

You know, I've only seen seven episodes so far, but I'm really enjoying Trigun. O.o I honestly didn't think I would.  After all, it is definitely a shounen show, and I'm definitely a shoujo girl, with the exception of a handful of mecha and harem titles. The only reason why I decided to put it in my Netflix queue was because it is a popular show and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Now I know why.

How much do I like it? So much that I was considering ordering it from Right Stuf (the Signature Series is part of the Geneon sale still going on) on the basis of the two discs I've seen alone. I never do that! I always like to watch all of a series, or at least most of it, before deciding if it was worth buying or not. Unforturnately, when I went to the site, I discovered Paradise Kiss, the other Geneon series I wanted, wasn't a part of the sale for some reason, so I still wouldn't have enough to take advantage of the deal. *sigh*

I still may go ahead and buy it if Best Buy has a not-too-expensive boxset in stock, actually. Mom and I are planning to go shopping tomorrow, so I'll check it out. I'll probably just end up buying more manga though, knowing me.

Trigun! A good choice! :-D (Says the unabashed Milly fan.) Now, you only need to watch Outlaw Star -- the only one of the three I actually own, oddly enough -- to complete the 1999 'space cowboy' trilogy. I dare say your taste in anime has become really, really broad, and that puts a smile on my face.

The Signature Series DVDs -- should be eight of 'em -- are likely to be your best bet, since the only Trigun box I ever saw was the original release, and that used to run for $199.99.

If you like the anime, I recommend the manga, too. The original Trigun manga has two (big) volumes, and Trigun Maximum is at ten (normal-sized) volumes with no signs of stopping just yet.
