I have to completely agree with psychedelicrose666 here. Also personally I think the biggest turning point here is Wolfwood's last line in the japanese version: "I can't stand it". I have no idea what's the real psychology behind that one last sentence but it sure makes me tear up every time he says that
The problem is english voice actors try too hard to make the anime characters seem cartoonish when they really shouldn't(naruto,bleach, other shows with young main characters). Also, they try way too hard to sound emotional and it comes off as silly most of the time. If you don't know how to read subtitles and watch the video at the same time then you need work on your concentration skills.
@Royplayer89 I agree with your view on the situation. You hold a decent argument to the Dub and I find Dubs are a little more accessible to the crowd that does not have a background in Japanese.
@psychedelicrose666 I also agree with your interpretation. His final words held much higher presence and power than the English script, but because some anime viewers do not have as strong a hold on the Japanese language doesn't justify deeming the Dubs as inferior.
as everyone has already said, this gets really deep.
wolfwood's death is one of my top 5 unforgettable moments while watching anime. i thought it was mostly sillyness too. but at the moment i realized what was happening i was blown away more than anything.
he'll always be one of my favorite characters from any anime/manga.
I first thought that this anime was and action- comedy but when i watched further on i started to feel sad and i had an serious feeling about this amazing anime... This anime becomes psychological in the end so it is a good twist because you first thought that it was an action packed comedy! :D
tacosamurai, the anime is beautiful and moving in its own way. If you think badassness and gore are the only ingredients that make a great show, then you're wrong. The anime had its downs, but it was great and even exceeded the manga in its own regards. The manga was more scince fiction heavy and had high octane action. I prefer the anime because of its more powerful potrayl of the characters, and its themes on life. I don't wanna be cold, but I think you well deserved all those thumbs downs. :)
Normally people yells at anime adaptation just because they takke away important stuff, or change totally the whole thing. But on this case, they did this dead even more dramatic and deep than the one at the manga.
Im sorry, this anime is shit compared to the manga. Completely off with the story, no way in HELL knives would use a gun. Pathetic death for wolfwood, manga death is WAY more epic. Oh and he actually fucking does something instead of begging for his life. One piece of advice to all watching this, if you liked it, read the manga. WAY better.
Very moving and anguishing death... But i wonder Why didn't Vash run out to help Wolfwood upon seeing the trail of blood? Knowing Vash's nature to preserve life, you'd think he'd try to save wolfwood...
Anyway, I suppose Vash's guilt came not from causing owlfwood's death, but being the one who made wolfwood question his actions, thus dying unhappy.
whoa,saiyuki fan there:D,i dnt know this roles cuz i learned Bout Hayami from his role as aizen,n so i m a relatively new fan,talking bout saiyuki tho toshihiko Seki s awesome too:)
In regards to the jap eng dubs its a two way street. some animes sound better in english than in japenese vice versa. then there are rare occasions when both sound great Trigun being one of those gems. dragonball z sounds better in u.s. to me based on goku japanese voice. and Im not even going into one piece cause Im pissed that when we finally get good actors in the us who were getting into their parts they take it off the air maybe for good maybe not
Does ANYONE know the ending song? please.. if someone were to figure it out, message me please. its such a moving song, and because of it, i was hoping to learn it..
You're all crazy. What really struck me in this version was when he dropped his "I don't want to die yet" lines. The Japanese actor is a much better job throughout, giving it a stronger tone than the American actor did, clearly defined when Wolfwood fantasized about Eden. His last lines in this Japanese script also carry more weight and meaning.
Stop hating on the English actors. They try to portray the characters how they see them. Besides, Japanese and English are two TOTALLY different languages with all sorts of different tones. I personally thought that both were well done.
Artistic lisense is all well and good - but it can sometimes butcher the meaning and feeling to a story...look at how much it screwed up NGE when it crossed borders~
I wont deny "both" are still good - but I think most would prefer the creators vision - and not some random voice actor's.
That argument is void in this case, where Trigun was a manga adapted into an anime, and thus the creator wasn't in control of things like this. Hell, the author didn't even write the scripts for it. Don't be a weaboo, just because Japan's voice acting sounds better to your English-as-a-first-language ear, doesn't make it true. It's a fact that some Japanese voice acting sucks, just like it's a fact that some American acting sucks. Because it's the "original" doesn't make it immune.
" to your English-as-a-first-language ear" Heh, abit presumptious arent we? They key differences are emotional level and tone of voice - where english dubbing generally has an exaggeration to the tone of voice of each character, japanese voice actors have a more natural and sincere tone to them, becoming more in sync with the scene - and less "over the top"
I dunno I think it's that one last scream "I did not want to die this way!" that just sticks with me. Regardless it seems to have taken a much different approach now that I've seen them both.
the guy who dislike this is probably a hello kitty fan.

Love the irony of his death. Dies just when he abandons his martialism.
And I like how he didn't go out content with everything. Unlike the generic glorified tragic hero death.
