"And Between the Wasteland" concludes outlaw Vash the Stampede's adventure aboard a hijacked sandship that began on the previous disc. The orphan Kaite--and insurance inspectors Meryl and Millie--help him outwit B.D. Neon's Bad Lad Gang. The artists hint at Vash's unhappy past when an old song recalls a lost love. The tone shifts to the farcical with the arrival of Nicholas D. Wolfwood, an outrageous, fast-talking priest, who becomes the closest thing to a partner Vash is likely to find. When their bus is attacked in the middle of the desert by a horde of insectlike robots, a child is left behind. Vash and Wolfwood charge to the rescue, shooting robots and swapping repartee like a futuristic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Meryl and Millie are horrified at the potential destruction when Wolfwood enters Vash in a high-stakes marksmanship contest to aid a needy family in "Quick Draw." But both heroes come through--in their fashion. Vash remains an endearing if disaster-prone hero, unsuccessfully pursuing peace and "the mayfly known as love." But Wolfwood echoes the thoughts of both the other characters and the audience when he observes, "When you're around, things always seem to get worse." Rated 13 and up for mild profanity, drinking, and cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon
Description
Wolfwood, the man of the cloth with the cross, is also a gunman with a past. Like Vash, Wolfwood travels to find redemption in the desert but continually finds that controntations with one's past can be far more deadly than a duel with pistols. Will these two kindred souls walk the same path or find each other obstacles to survival?

What's New in Volume 3 August 3, 2000

Trigun continues to entertain and Pioneer continues to deliver the highest quality product. This DVD shines with thoughtfully designed chapters (which allow you to jump past the intros, intermissions, and credits straight to the content) and the highest quality video and sound. The picture is crisp, with the deep reds and blues that were clearly intended for its presentation.In this particular series, after wrapping up the cliffhanger (literally) from the end of Volume 2, a new character foil is introduced in the chronicle of Vash the Stampede. Wolfwood, whose history is only hinted at, develops a comraderie with Vash that yields mutual curiousity and occasional sparks between the two. Overall, you'll be left with the traditional Trigun feel - tough times, mostly nobody got hurt, and hidden internal turmoil on the part of Vash. More clues are dropped about his origins...and more allusions to a love interest... Thumbs up!
Trigun is a unique series (see review to find out why!) September 7, 2000

To any anime fans out there that have seen the entire Cowboy Bebop series and were greatly disappointed w/ how the series progressed and subsequently ended (i.e. me) Trigun does exactly the opposite. Well, not exactly, but I had really high expectations before seeing the Trigun series, and was a little disappointed w/ the lack of action and the mainly comic plots of the first 7 episodes or so. But Trigun just keeps getting stronger and stronger and much more interesting. I never read the manga, but the anime series (as it goes on) is very unpredictable, the background behind Vash the Stampede is totally out there, and the action just gets cooler and cooler as the series progresses. The last 2 episodes just were AWESOME. I highly recommend getting the DVDs, Pioneer did a terrific job... well whoever Pioneer got the DVDs from, and the menus and features are superb.
Trigun: Western Comedy strikes back June 13, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am an Otaku, anime obsessed and this series Trigun is the most hilarious comedy ever to come from Japan. Not to reveal much about the story, but Wolfwood reveals much about Vash's past that was a mystery ^_^ It's the story of a gunman who has a 60 Billion Dollar bounty on his head because every town he goes through gets destroyed. Not that he destroys anything, just the bounty hunters who track him down. Between defeating bounty hunters and running from 2 crazy insurance agents, Trigun is a hilarious anime comedy whether your a fan of the art style or not
Dubbed Trigun Works July 16, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In the latest volume of Trigun for VHS, Vash's problems are then solved, from volume two, which after viewing, left me hanging for MORE Trigun. I've seen the dubbed version of Trigun, and I can honestly say, that it works. The voices sound great and follows on with good dubbing; like DBZ and Sailor Moon. If you don't mind english dubbed anime, definitely pick this up. But, if you prefer the original subtitled anime, like me, then you'll want to pick up the DVD, because it's like having both VHS versions of the anime.I believe that the VHS anime (dubbed) market will eventually die off, because I'd think the prices are just insane, especially for the original subtitled tape, which can run about 30 dollars. The only sensible thing to do nowadays, is to buy anime on DVD. DVD's offer better picture, sound, and features. They even offer both English and Japanese with English subtitles. So I believe if you still like VHS, pick this up. If you want more for your money, check out the DVD version of Trigun Volume 3; Wolfwood. Don't really know what Trigun is about? Well, I definitely recommend this series to you, because it blends action and comedy together nicely. Plus, the animation is superb and almost flawless. It takes place in the sci-fi world, with twin suns. Think of it as a futuristic western, with lots of comedic and serious moments. This Vol. 3 continues the captivating storyline of Vash The Stampede. Who knows what else we'll see along the way? All in all, a nice VHS to pick up if you like dubbed anime.
If this Series were Any Better... February 20, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If this series were any better than it already is...well, it can't be! This is one of the most intense, funniest, wittiest, clever, and somewhat original series I have ever seen! It has an extremely catchy soundtrack and you'll have all the tunes stuck in your head for weeks. The new character introduced in this DVD, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, is a well-conceived, well-designed, good humored, likeable character, just as Vash is. He is a priest who obviously has some past he (like Vash) is trying to atone for, but I won't go any farther than that. More adventure, laughs, mystery, drama, and good times await you in this next DVD of Trigun! DON'T MISS OUT!!!!
