26 Episodes.The 8th Volume Has a Nice Design For The Menu With a 1950's Newspaper Feel To It But The Others Are Barely Functional and Have No Extra Content,Save For Some Horrible Drawings(Art)... Ratings: Art/Animation: C The Art Is Bland and Reminds Me Of Very Old Comics. Some Shots Of Vash,Especially The Eyecatch That Show Him As "The Stampede" But Most Draw Him As a Stick Figure With An Odd Haircut And Very Linear Shape. You Can See Tons Of Lines and It Is Obvious Those Are The Sketches, Not Any Sort Of Animation Or Reworking. The Males Almost All Look Alike And The Female Character Are Female By Voice Only. The Special Effects Are Unimpressive. Unimpressive Defines My Opinion Of The Entire Series.   Story: B- The Initial Half Is Just "Cliché" Far West Fanfare; Characters Have Obvious Nicknames, Water Is Rare And Bandits/Outlaws Roam The Landscape.Vash's Identity Is Kept Hidden For That Period and He Is Only The Shadow of a "Gunfighter"....

Trigun (Old Version)

6 Episodes (OAV's) The Menu Shows Nanako's Breasts Bouncing After a While,a Nice Touch! Ratings: Art/Animation: B+ Quite Impressive For An Obscure Series.The Main Characters Are Quite Detailed and The Women Very Attractive.The Supporting Characters Are On The Goofy Side Although Their Presence Is Negligible.The Special Effects Are Very Solid Especially The Scientific Schematics Displayed.      Story: B+ While Not a Sweeping Epic or Complex Mystery, Amazing Nurse Nanako Delivers The Fan Service and Humor Intended and Has a Few Plot Twists.The Underlying Intrigue Is Enough To Keep You Watching and All Is Revealed As The Story Goes On.The Ending Is Very Clear. Voice Acting: B While The Series Has Rather Plain Dialogs,The Main Characters Are Well-Played.The "Star" Of The Show Is Obviously Patrick Seitz With His Trademark Military Style Voice Fits Well With His Mysterious Role In The Series. Erica Schaefer Is VERY Sexy As The Voice Of Satsuki The Seductress. ...

95 Episodes Over 3 Seasons (27, 35, 31 too many) A Huge Disappointment As With Everything About It,Season 3 Is Only One Box With All Volumes Stacked In One Hole With Very Little Detail On The Disks Themselves.The Previous Seasons Do Have Some Mix-Ups In The Volumes (I Watched Volume 4 Before 3 For Season 1 As The Front Disk Was Volume 4) With No Episode Numbers On The Menu.Volume 6 Of Season 2 Was Also Misplaced.That and The Abnormally Long Loading Times From Anime Works Logos Made It Quite Frustrating At Times.For 95 U$D,I Expected Much More. Scores Will Be: Season 1/Season 2/Season 3/Overall Art/Animation: B+/A/A (A) The Only Aspect Of The Series That Improves Even Ever-So-Slightly In Season 3.The Various Backgrounds, Images and Drawings Are Outstanding At Times,Very Solid At Others.The Characters All Look Very Realistic; Westerners are Well Defined As Such.The Women Lacking Sex-Appeal Is My Only Critic As Far As The Art Goes. Story: A+/A+/B- (A) An Epic,Enchanting Storyline...

Rurouni Kenshin , Season 2 Was Even Better,That It Was Indeed.

Rurouni Kenshin (Season 2) Most Excellent,Season 1,That It Was.
