Definitely would read the manga so soon. Trigun probably more like No-gun. This anime had so much possiblity to pick on from each perspective. Trigun's vibe could be breakdown in by this 3 lead character's moral ideologies. (Spoiler Alert!)
The Main Protagonist: *Vash the Stampede*: Radical Pacifism (Deontology). He believes killing action are inherently wrong, regardless of the consequences. In The world of "kill or be killed" desert. Vash’s refusal to kill often puts innocent people at risk, which is the primary criticism leveled against him by his allies and enemies alike.
The Main Villain: *Knives Millions*: Social Darwinism & Misanthropy. He views humanity as inherently destructive, selfish, and inferior. To him, wiping out the human race is an act of "cleaning" the planet. His cruelty stems from a twisted love for his own kind (the Plants). He believes they are being enslaved by humans and justifies genocide as "liberation."
The Lead Protagonist: Nicholas D. Wolfwood: Moral Realism & Pragmatism. He believes that in a cruel world, you must sometimes kill the "wolves" to protect the "lambs." To him, Vash’s pacifism is a luxury that only someone as skilled as Vash can afford. He constantly challenges Vash with the question: If you let a killer live and they kill again, are you responsible for those deaths?.
This is showing how these 3 characters morality is collide each other makes them and the anime more interesting each style for you to choose on. The anime is not just about gun shoot and gunsling This is about a clash of contrasting ideologies in a barren and cruel world. Its all about Survival.
