Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of November: Vash the Stampede

Image
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!  This week I will be unveiling November’s Character of the Month.  And like many characters that have come to pass, this one was no contest.  Now, I know that normally I do Character of the Month right around the end of the month, but you may notice that it’s not even the end of the month-at least not until next week.  I will explain this at the end of the post.  But in the meantime, let’s talk about this month’s Character of the Month: Vash the Stampede from Trigun . Trigun is an early 2000’s anime that follows Vash the Stampede, a wandering, blonde, spiky-haired man who is sought out by bounty-hunters far and wide in order to obtain the $$60,000,000,000.00 bounty on his head.  That, in general is the basic plot of Trigun , and just one aspect to the character’s story.  However, throughout the show, we get glimpses of Vash’s backstory.  And by the end we find the truth.  Vash’s life started out as being a man-made energy source-or more commonly

Naraku vs. The Major: Who had the Most Nefarious Plot?

Greetings, fellow citizens of the Earth!  You may have noticed that this week that I’m not doing a review.  For this week I decided to do a discussion post.  And let me tell you, I’ve wanted to do this one for a while now.  But now seems like a good time to do this.  As many of you are aware, Toonami recently aired Hellsing Ultimate for its first ever television debut.  Then I found out recently that Toonami was bringing back Inuyasha for the television premier of Inuyasha: The Final Act.  So with that much said, let’s get to the point here.  For this post, I took two of my favorite anime villains- the Major from Hellsing Ultimate and Naraku from Inuyasha as well as Inuyash: The Final Act - and asked the question, “who had the most nefarious, most evil, most diabolical plan?” Now before I begin, I think I should explain what’s going to be discussed.    Here I will take a look at the two villains individually and their grand scheme or scheme worth recognizing.  I will also giv

The Anime That Never Ends Just Came to an End: Bleach

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!  I’m back again this week with a new review!  This week, I will be looking at one of the longest running animes of all time.  I’ve joked and a called it “The Anime that Never Ends”- a title that can be also used for other long-running shows like One Piece and Pokémon -, but as the title suggests, this show just recently came to an end.  But I’ll get more to that later.  For now, let’s get started on this week’s review on the famous long-running anime Bleach . Despite the title’s unusual name, Bleach has nothing to do with actual bleach.  The show follows fifteen year-old Ichigo Kurosaki, who since childhood has been able to see the souls of the dead.  Ichigo is able to live with these powers, until one fateful day.  In his hometown of Karakura Town, a series of strange events occur where invisible entities have been plaguing the town.  All of these events come to a head when Ichigo meets a mysterious and hot-tempered girl named Rukia Kuchki.  Rukia

Beware the Typhoon!: Trigun

Greetings, ladies and gents!  It’s time for another review from yours truly!  This week, I’m taking a look at an old classic in anime.  I discovered this anime over the summer at MechaCon, and just recently completed the series.  With that much said, let’s take a trip back to the early 2000’s.  The setting is a desert planet rampant with criminals and bounty hunters.   The only solution, and also the biggest problem, is a spiky-haired blonde man with a $$60,000,000,000.00 bounty on his head.  That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, this week’s review is on sci-fi western anime Trigun !  So enough with the flashback, let’s get to the review! So as I said, Trigun takes place in the distant future on a desert planet where people live in an old western setting.  More often times than none, these people are attack by ruthless criminals.  Among the worst of these criminals is Vash the Stampede-also known as the “Humanoid Typhoon.”  Much of the show follows this Vash who, despite what is rum
