Plot Summary:
Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Because of the bounty, every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, can’t believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, and blonde young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby… there is no way he could be Vash the Stampede, a notorious outlaw. However, there’s more to Vash than just smiles and donuts; a dark past that he would like to leave behind is hounding him, and some people are pursuing him for other reasons than the bounty.
Authors Comments:
Well what can I say? This series will not suit everyone’s cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong this series is herald as a “classic” and rightly so! With plenty of Action and Comedy this series isn’t your average “gunho” type anime. The storyline is slow in places but is made up for with juicy action packed episodes!
With a refreshing twist Vash is known as the “Humanoid Typhoon”, from doing the amazingly unbelievable to the slightly stupid things, you unravel the mystery of Vash and his history beginning to discover that his foolish yet comical actions are just a façade and that he really is an in-depth character.
All-in-all this is one hell of a series and is worthy in anyone’s collection, if you love the anime then you will love the manga version even more! A must see!!
