Is Trigun (so) appreciated solely out of nostalgia?
Seems a lot of people put it on par with Cowboy Bebop, but, while some parallels could be drawn, Trigun focuses too much on the comedy in the detriment of the drama, while Cowboy Bebop balances them neatly.

It is on par with Bebop. Being more of a comedy doesn't make it worse. No one's saying that they are similar in tone, just that they are both of high quality.

Have you watched the full show? I think it's a fair criticism to say that the show doesn't have a great balance at times, but it's mostly the early episodes that are comedy focus and the comedy keeps dropping as the drama ramps up. Like the entire episode where Vash is catonic does not really have a comedic moment. I will say mostly the reason people remember it might be because the characters are very memorable, like there is not really another anime character who really looks like Vash.

No it's good; formally almost perfect imo. I'd say it's maybe a notch below Bebop.

Maybe I'm being unfair, but to me it seems that the world building was made specifically for the feel of the first episodes(goofy, not that expansive) and then when it tries to be sober, the narrative issues are only brought forward.

Trigun has better characters than CB, inferior animation but both have weak endings.
I've read the Trigun manga years after I watched the anime so it's not really nostalgia.
>Cowboy Bebop balances them neatly
Spike's edgy backstory has nothing on Vash's character development to be honest.

>both have weak endings
wut. Bebop's ending is one of its highlights.

Spike's arc was the worst
Should've ended it with Faye's
>>161425689
Spike's arc was played fine. And it couldn't have ended any other way.
>>161425270
I find Vash miles more interesting than Spike, but I prefer Bebop overall. I find them both high quality shows, and I don't really think nostalgia has much to do with it.

This
What happens to his brother after the anime?
>>161426442
Yeah I could've lived with rushed ending and cheap animation if they only made an epilogue of sort. Manga Knives offed himself after he realized he was wrong, anime Knives doesn't seem like he could learn anything. I guess we're supposed to believe that Vash will put him through Love&Peace rehabilitation course or something.
>Trigun focuses too much on the comedy
Nope it doesn't.
>>161426929
He didn't realize he was wrong, he realized he lost, and payed proper respect to his brother's determination.
Manga was over the top at it's second half, but had very good points. IMHO it would really shine. If only it was written by someone more experienced.

That's why we need Trigun Maximum Brotherhood with Kuroda on board once again.
>He didn't realize he was wrong
He did say he was the one who grew apart though.

I think a person putting on a face but really has some underlying issues resonates with todays generation at least more than a few decades ago.
it's a 9/10 manga with humanity theme done really nice and fresh. Hope you won't broke your eyes on the clusterfuckly drawn action scenes.
I don't remember how anime went.
Did he filly the Milly?

Anime only
In the manga everyone died a virgin
The anime was severely lacking in animation and sakuga fight scenes, but that was really its only flaw. Trigun has a very adventure-packed outlook along with the deeper story on the fragile-yet-precious human nature that exists everywhere. If you read the Maximum manga, you will enjoy more of the wacky gun fights as they are laid out along with much more suffering and struggles for the characters.
