Immense as always, did anyone think that the pirate king bloke sounded like Zaraki Kenpachi from Bleach or was that just me?

Hmmm I'm wondering about tis Rem as well, I have a feeling the connection between her and Vash and something like the connection between Brandon and Maria from Gungrave.

lol not worried at all...Vash will take care of that guy with the freakishly large shoulder pads.
And hopefully that rotten kid will apologize., because it was mostly his fault for letting them in.

Nice episode. Vash took a little more of a beating than usual haha, he really has a weakness for the kids and women it seems. Still his psyche is usually on top of the situation =P

"Nobody's dumb enough to buy such a lame story!"
*Vash starts crying*

lol :P I have to say, when this series is trying to be funny, it's so damn hilarious xDDDDD; But I don't like songs; it feels corny to me. The animation sucks... or at least I don't like it. Character designs are great, that big guy in the last episode, the one in the first and now Neon... Of course Vash too.

Great episode! I'm reading manga simultaneously and I do have some hints, but I still can't figure out who the hell is Vash, nor his connection with Rem.

The cat always cracks me up with that anemic "nyan" of his.
And Neon's shoulder pads... god.

I hope we weren't expected to feel too bad for the kid. I mean he basically let them in and screwed over his own dad. I'm surprised this is going to take more than one episode.

Was that 3 moons in the sky o.o? I guess this isn't earth.

Decent ep, kids kind of a douche helping those bandits did result in quite a few deaths and yet all he cares about is the ship. Looking forward to some action next ep between Vash and giant shoulder pads guy.

Not really a mini arc, this is kind of where the manga actually began.

Perhaps Kaite's father was kidnapped and held as a hostage by the Bad Lad Gang, which was why he initially chose to aid them. Though that would not have been the simplest method, as they could have then used his father to get to the loot within the sand steamer. I am really just grasping at straws here by trying to come up with reasons for the kid to be less unlikeable than he already is.

It was a shame that Elizabeth could not travel together with Vash on the sand steamer, though I suppose she had to remain in Inepril City to further repair the broken-down plants. Even with her seemingly important place in the story regarding to our protagonist's past and his loss of memory, she might be just a random one-off character within the series.

Plot is becoming repetitive, Vash encounters evil guy then wins by luck. Rinse and repeat. I hope the next episode is interesting and they get this over with.

3/5 episode.

I'm surprised by the level of apathy towards this episode. Trigun is a homage to the westerns of yesteryear and is at it's best when it's about tough men behaving stupidly. It isn't trying to be a complex character study, especially since Vash's backstory is so greatly overexaggerated to begin with.

Out of all the episodes I've seen so far, the mere setup for this one had me grinning from ear to ear. I love two-parter episodes, and I can't wait to see how Vash comes out on top in this situation.

It looks like Vash actually prefers the drifter life that somehow gives him some peace and quiet at times but trouble continues to follow him around wherever he goes.

This was the first time that I've seen someone get killed on-screen in this anime and I have a feeling that this would be a much more common occurence here on out.

wonder about that dream vash had, apperantly it's something vital since it's in the opening.

and i hope it's not just me to see that vash is recognising the leader.
