Doc & Shadon saddle up to bring you all a mammoth sixty billion double-dollar-sized helping of podcast about one of our all-time favorite anime: Trigun! This show was an important one for both of us in the early, formative years of our anime fandom. Perhaps surprisingly, we both found that, not only does it hold up (in terms of what we come to anime for) but it has some depths we did not plumb when we were in our teens and twenties.

We cover a ton of topics in this show, including: a character analysis of Vash The Stampede, utilitarian/consequentialist morality vs deontic/non-consequentialist morality, how the show drops the ball with its female cast, the anime's tonal shift, Christian symbolism, comparison of Trigun to other media, favorite gags, how many Gung-ho Guns can you name, and so much more!
