Trigun is one of the few anime shows that might actually be better dubbed than subbed- the English voice acting is fantastic. And the show does start out incredibly silly, to the point that fans sometimes force people through a couple episodes until they realize what's really going on. Minimizing spoilers, the main character of this show is the sort of person who laughs to hide his pain, and early on he's one of the zaniest characters ever animated. Events proceed quickly down a dangerous slope as you start to see the man and the events behind the facade. By the end of the second act this is perhaps the best anime series out there, and things get incredibly dark without losing that laugh-through-the-pain feeling. The ending is a tad weak, with two flawed ideaologies pursuing a predictable conclusion, but overall I'd put Trigun in any list of top series all-time.
