English Dub Review: Trigun Stargaze “From Order To Chaos”

Overview:

Vash sets off for Home with his companions, but Knives’ men are already planning a new attack.

Our Take:

If you were ever wondering if this reboot would show Vash how we know and love him from the original, then wonder no more. In this episode, he decided to get a haircut, and now he looks a little more in line with what we knew of him from the old show. It also introduced one of the most interesting characters I’ve seen in the show so far, and that is one, Midvalley the Hornfreak.

Midvalley uses his saxophone to kill people. I’m not quite sure how it works, but he played it, and a “blade” of sound came out of it and decapitated someone. I thought it was really cool, and sure, we’ve seen something similar before, but for all I know, that was something that Trigun was one of the first to do. The other thing about Midvalley I love is his voice actor, Ian Sinclair.

If you’re familiar with my reviews, you know that he’s one of my favorite VAs. It also seems that Midvalley isn’t quite as “evil” as his compatriots are, so I’m hoping that even though he is doing something bad now, he could still end up joining Vash and his crew.
