I think I'll watch Trigun...

[CDLviking]

Just think about how long we waited for a Robotech game.

[Godly Paladin]

Far too long.

It looks like the Trigun game is probably history by now, but it really would be cool, wouldn't it?

Side note: I never want to see a buck-naked Vash bark like a dog ever again.

[AngelSakura]

If I may be allowed to imitate Midvalley for a second (inside joke, don't ask), "Like, ohmigosh!" I just realized it would be based on the manga! COOL! And now that I'm on my own computer, I can go actually watch the trailer! ...or not. Sorry, I'm not signing up for IGN. Crap.

<<Side note: I never want to see a buck-naked Vash bark like a dog ever again.>>
Yeah. I really didn't need to see that in the first place. And in the manga, Vash told Lina to look away, whereas he apparently doesn't care in the anime. Creepy.

[Godly Paladin]

Yeah, I can't see it either. I've got waaaaay too many memberships at places like this, and I don't feel like making another one.

[Lunis]

If I may be allowed to imitate Midvalley for a second (inside joke, don't ask), "Like, ohmigosh!"

Lol!

Sadly, I don't get to see the trailer, either. Y_Y

[Godly Paladin]

I guess I could break down and get *yet another membership for a single purpose*.

[AngelSakura]

<<Lol!>>
Couldn't resist. It was just so perfect, for some reason, that dare. I shall never let it die and continue to make inside references to it until the end of my days.

<<I guess I could break down and get *yet another membership for a single purpose*.>>
Well, only one person needs to sign up, and then the rest of us can just leech off them. XD

[Myoti]

Hey, maybe in the future I can borrow the rights for the series and make a game! since, you know, I'm going to be a game designer and all...

[Godly Paladin]

You volunteering? =)

[AngelSakura]

No.

So, we're to "Out of Time", huh? First anime episode I ever saw. I was so completely lost, it wasn't even funny. I mean, I only had the first volume of the original manga. You guys had better brace yourselves for "Alternative". It's...kind of like the deep breath before the plunge. Everything seems to go downhill until we hit bottom in "Live Through". Also, I have to resist strangling something in an early "Alternative" scene. Those who have seen the episode will know what I mean. x.x;;

[Lunis]

Ah. You made me think hard for a second, there. Yeah, that scene sort of made me cringe, too. But the Vash and Meryl part in that scene was lighthearted, and I liked it. I actually liked all the Meryl and Vash interaction in that one. They were both nice to each other. And it's probably one of the only times he actually [spoiler=(maybe you should read this after you've seen the episode)] calls Meryl by her actual name.[/spoiler] Strange how that's such a rare occurence.

People, I need your attention. I have something very important to say. I, Lunis, am finally giving up trying to understand every little thing in the Trigun universe. I mean... *sniff* It's just impossible! I try and I try, but I never make any headway. Especially around these few episodes, the more I watch it to gather more information, I only have more and more questions. It's depressing! I've always had this drive to know absolutely everything about something I like. But I'm going to try to force myself to just relax and let some things go unanswered. It's hard! >_<

Speaking of major discoveries, [spoiler=(only read this if you've seen the entire series)] I just now realized that Legato actually forced Chapel the Evergreen with his mind to kill Wolfwood. I noticed his hand looked like it was moving on it's own, not by Chapel's will. I had always thought, when Legato said, "Apparently you're unhappy that I forced you to kill Nicholas D. Wolfwood," that he meant "forced" as in ordered him to do it. But no! He actually literally "forced" him to do it! *proud of herself* ... Does everyone think I'm completely slow for not noticing this in the beginning, or did you guys not notice either?[/spoiler]

[AngelSakura]

<<Strange how that's such a rare occurence.>>
Mmm. She made a big deal in the manga (in her mind, at least). I think she mentions it on a drama track, which really seem to be rather manga-based if you read them carefully.

<<Yeah, that scene sort of made me cringe, too.>>
If you ever end up watching Trigun with me, keep out of range of flying objects (they tend to be plastic cups or cats).

<<I, Lunis, am finally giving up trying to understand every little thing in the Trigun universe.>>
It completely infuriates me that I cannot explain every single thing having to do with Trigun. I feel like strangling episode seventeen.

<<I've always had this drive to know absolutely everything about something I like.>>
Yesh, I know exactly what you mean. When I was in love with Dragonball Z, I could probably have called myself a relative expert, given that most of DBZ is rather easy to understand. Trigun does not succumb quite so easily.

<<Speaking of major discoveries...>>
Considering some of my "discoveries", this is a fairly mild "duh". The first time I saw "Paradise", I missed "Sin", so I didn't get any help understanding the previous episode. I have only vague memories of the first time I saw it, though, so I don't really know if I realized your spoiler. I remember completely not realizing certain other things until I was cruelly disillusioned on a thread relating to "Kare Kano". Someday, Gainax will be my downfall...

[Godly Paladin]

I've resisted the urge to highlight those spoilers, Lunis.

I've also resisted watching the last three so I can have a Trigun night tonight. A 3 ep marathon...

[Lunis]

Very good. Your life will be a better one for it. Be sure to read the spoilers after you've seen the whole thing, though. ]I've also resisted watching the last three so I can have a Trigun night tonight. A 3 ep marathon... [/QUOTE] Whoo! That sounds fun. I'm going to try to do a marathon of every single episode sometime in July. Wouldn't it be so cool if all us Trigun lovers could meet up at my house (or anywhere else) and watch the whole thing?! Squeeee!! I'm getting too excied. XD

[Godly Paladin]

It 'twould be cool.

Except you live faaaaaaar away from me. And with gas prices the way they are...

[AngelSakura]

We would need sugar, things to fall off of in fake shock (two of my friends fell off our excersize [sp?] bike in the basement at the sound of Legato-sama's Japanese voice XD), sugar, blankies (XD), plushies, sugar, plastic cups (empty, obviously, for throwing at the screen - popcorn works too), some sort of sedative, something to shield your head from flying objects, my black cat Salem (AKA Kuroneko-sama), root beer, orange soda, Chik-Fil-A nugget thingies, sugar, Pocky, um...and sugar.
I'm totally stoked for this. XD I wanna, I wanna! You don't live that far from me... I have relatives in New Jersey!

[Heart of Sword]

I never want to see a buck-naked Vash bark like a dog ever again.

I didn't know whether to barf or laugh...I think I did a mixture of both...

That part where he was in the hospital bed and his eyes started to sparkle at the girl was classic...I was snickering then but when he slipped his hand out from under the blanket like he was waving...that got me cracking up.

[CDLviking]

I thought the part where Vash stripped was kind of moving. I don't know if the needed to show his butt, but it showed the everyone the scars on his body, and that he was willing to sacrifice his dignity to save them.

[Godly Paladin]

Now I've caught up with you all.

Just a recommendation: don't do what I just did--as in watching all three back to back until 11 at night. I couldn't go to sleep for an hour or so. Those three were some of the most tense and most disturbing/moving so far.

And CDLviking, I think I understand where you're coming from.

[Godly Paladin]

Whoops... Forgot a question.

So the PLANTs are like biomechanical alien creatures that raidate energy?

EDIT: Another q: who the heck is Legato, really? If Knives and Vash were the original 'supers', then where did he come from. (If you can't answer the question without spoiling or if I'll learn in a coming episode, then just bash me over the head and tell me to shut up.)

[AngelSakura]

You ain't seen nothing yet.

EDIT: <<So the PLANTs are like biomechanical alien creatures that raidate energy?>>
Pretty much.

EDIT #2: <<EDIT: Another q: who the heck is Legato, really? If Knives and Vash were the original 'supers', then where did he come from. (If you can't answer the question without spoiling or if I'll learn in a coming episode, then just bash me over the head and tell me to shut up.)>>
To quote Yasuhiro Nightow, "I think [Knives] just picked Legato up on a whim."

[Godly Paladin]

I edited and therefore need your assistance, AngelSakura.

[Godly Paladin]

Another edit.

[Lunis]

I didn't know whether to barf or laugh...I think I did a mixture of both...

Quite an amusing mental image.

[CDLviking]

What exactly the plants are, no one really knows. They are described as a black box. The only thing that is really known about them is how to maintain them.

[AngelSakura]

What he said.

[Godly Paladin]

Gotcha. Weird, but good.

[AngelSakura]

That pretty much sums up the entire series.
