    One of the best anime series in 1998, which competes for the championship with "Cowboy Bebop" and both of these series are absolutely in no way inferior to each other.

     

    "Trigan" amazes with the first series. And it strikes, strangely enough with humor, the first series of the series are perceived as a comedy and it is quite natural to assume that this will continue. But not everything is so simple ... the plot is very intricate and intriguing, and with each series, instead of the denouement, more mysteries are revealed.

    One of the main advantages of this anime is the characters. The character of each hero is beautifully revealed, each has its own motives and explanations for their actions. Here, even to the actions of negative characters, one can find an explanation, and absolutely everyone can be understood or at least assumed what, how and why the hero made it.

     

    "Trigan" is full of emotions from the first to the last series, and if you can laugh at the first series, looking at the protagonist's protests, then everything goes to drama, and to the drama from which you want to sob, get angry, to experience, to love and to hate, and all this at the same time.

     

    This series is rightfully considered a classic of the genre, and, despite the not very high-quality drawing, is still a favorite for so many viewers. Everyone relates to this series in different ways, but it can be assumed that he did not leave anyone indifferent. Because of the plot and actions of the main characters, a lot of disputes have already flared up and everyone who looks at it will find something in this series for themselves, because the principles guided by the protagonist will not leave anyone indifferent. Some people will like such principles, someone will call them stupid, but everyone will think about whether the Typhoon Man is right that he chose this way, and whether it is really possible to carry love and peace in the way chosen by him or the truth is talked about "good intentions" ...?
