Scans of the movie poster-style covers from the 2010 Funimation Trigun: The Complete Series DVD set!
Okay, this fandom has officially ruined me. Spop is currently just stuck in my head and is affecting other fandoms. So, a reboot of Trigun is set to come out next week over on Crunchyroll. Trigun was my major fandom throughout my 20s. I have watched the 26-episode original anime like 50 trillion times and have collected the entirety of the manga, including one issue signed by author that was a gift to me. I cannot tell you how much Trigun has shaped my brain, I think a lot of its themes have shaped my writing-style, despite the fact that I don't write about gunplay that much - but, you know, greater themes like pacifism vs. the need for action. Anyway, my partner has been bringing up the old episodes and re-watching them before the reboot comes out in spare moments and I just sat out in the living room having a snack when one of the first-season episodes was playing. "B.D.N." - first of a two-part arc about escapades on a funky steampunk sand-sailing ship. The Villain of the Arc is, of course, B.D.N ("Brilliant Dyanmites Neon") a vicious bandit-gang leader who dresses in neon lights and is wonderfully over the top in the way only late '90s anime villains are. And he's a huge guy. Neat character-design... And... here I am watching him in action, revisiting this old anime I've loved for 20+ years and I'm thinking "He has Horde Prime tiddies." B.D.N and Horde Prime have the same giant man-tiddy chests. Partly exposed, too. Pic of him, from a wiki, featuring him smoking a sparkler. Late 1990s anime - yes! And you know, I'm just watching the episode thinking "He's got a Prime-chest." And the fact that I am equating this old villain from an old fandom with HORDE PRIME all because of THE CHEST, it's like... Spop fandom... I don't know whether to love or hate you.
People who sin say this: that they “had to, to survive." People who sin say this: "it's too late now to stop." The shadow called sin dogs them steadily from behind, silently without a word. Remorse and agony are repeated only to end up at despair in the end, but the sinners just don't know that if they'd only turn around there's a light there, a light which keeps shining on them ever so lonely. A light that will never fade.
Vash the Stampede
The tragedy endlessly repeated in order to fulfill desires. Lust for conquest, making people bend to your will, thrill intense enough to make you shudder. There's a man who is a slave to that ecstasy. The leader of the Badlads, a man who shines: Brilliant Dynamites Neon. The sandsteamer will shake at the moment the huge dynamos on each of his shoulders start to spark. In the pitch black darkness, the gruesome party begins.
