Oh, well I'm not laying blame Suza =) In my other post I was wondering which one came first. I just say it that way because I saw Trigun first, so it's in the perspective of me having seen them in that order, however, I don't doubt that Trigun was the one to copy Kenshin if you say it was.
I also don't want to really make it a negative thing either, as each is awesome in their own right. Anyway, thinking about it, the whole anime scene keeps recycling similar ideas over and over again anyway, so I can't really say anything negative about any of them.
I mean, how many times have we seen a an old badass vampire slaughtering other vampires.
Hellsing -> Vampire Hunter D -> Castlevania SOTN -> Blood -> ad infinitum
How many times have we seen a badass guy in a red coat with one white and one black gun.
Devil May Cry -> Trigun -> Hellsing
And of course, how many times have we seen a high school student magically flung into a fantasy world of high adventure?
Inu Yasha -> Escaflowne -> Yu Yu Hakusho -> just about everything else
And I'm not even going to get into the obvious ones, like Shounen, bounty hunters in space, magical girl, or the dreaded giant impractical humanoid robots fight each other in close combat with the future of humanity at stake.
I guess every plots been done, it's just in the execution of that plot that you sink or swim. =)
Furthermore, both Vash and Kenshin (well what I've seen of him) are two of the best rolemodels possible for anyone (right up there with Tylor. ^_^) I'm not going to blame anyone who wants to convey that that's the ideal picture of humanity for anything, and I think the message is a great one, worth being said many times. Needless to say I'm buying Kenshin :mrgreen:
