1st episode impressions: hmm, though there really are resemblances to vash the stampede and spike spiegel, (or rather, the main character van seems to be a mashup of both of those characters) he stands pretty well as his own person and hopefully he'll develop into something completely different (totally unlike the trinity blood character Abel). likewise, this series is, as stated above, a mashup of the western genre and mecha genre but we'll see where that goes. as it stands, the series is off to a good start. a little cliche but what the hey. fighting is fluid and mecha battle isn't too bad. TBC. Last updated Sunday, June 17 2007. | ||||||||

Gun X Sword is a great series that reminded me a bit of Cowboy Bebop. Probably because the main character looks like spike, but also because is has that whole "western sci-fi" feel to it. It's more western than sci-fi than Cowboy Bebop and it has more of a fantastic element. (Though, it's not as good as Cowboy Bebop, the art looks similar). Some of the bad guys are a little over the top, but the overall story is actually good. I recommend!

Analysis : 3 R1 Disks Watched
It's pretty good, but as it is almost a direct rip off of Trigun I can't give it a buy rating. Von and Dan are a good Man/Mecha pair but they are the only unique feature of the planet Endless Illusion. Now that I'm in the Claw part of the storyline, it's really interesting. The OP is very weird with a bunch of grunting men for 30 seconds then becomes a traditional OP. And the 3rd disk introduces another love interest. Too bad it's not a harem.

With a story line similar to Tri-Gun or Genadier (both of which are at a <buy> rating), the first episode of the fan-sub release hints as being a fun (comedic) and violent story of adventure and strangeness with two miss-matched and different-aged main characters. There is a bit of a loli-edge, as Wendy attempts to entice or enlist Van’s help by offering to be his wife, but he is too much of a spacy loner to take her offer seriously, and he is also too much of gentleman to ignore her heartfelt desires to find her older brother. The opponents that confront Van and Wendy are all a bit over-blown and over-egotistic, but they all prove themselves to be bad-boyz deserving of being taken down and trampled by the strange forces that Van summons to protect the righteous and innocents. This series is well worth the watch, (and will probably prove itself to rank at a <buy> rating.) The sixth episode has been released as a fan-sub!! Last updated Sunday, August 28 2005. | ||||||||
