Trigun Vol 1 : 4 of 5

Another anime series I decided to try out just from reviews, and it wasn't a bad choice. First rate animation and action - nothing ground breaking, but excellent quality. The setting is unusual - kind of the old west with just a few futuristic touches (not full blown like Cowboy Bebop). The premise is the search for Vash X, an outlaw so devastating that there's a billion dollars on his head. The problem is Vash is really a bungler (or so we think) and everyone ends up thinking the real crook is someone else. The only female element consists of two insurance agents trying to find Vash before their company goes broke from paying for his damage! Kind of cute, but we'll see how things shape up in the next volume.
