Video:
This set was the first import I ever bought, I didn't have a review of it, so I shall review it so others can learn about what I did not.
The video quality is alright. The animation is crisp during still as well as fast moving action scences. Everything looks so good and very colorful... but then... there is trouble in paradise. Imperfections appear... not to often but they are noticeable (most can be easily overlooked). I noticed some grain during the intro sequence around words and right above Vash's gun while sand swirls around him. There is pixelation in a few episodes... only on dark red. The pixelation isn't that noticeable and it can't be seen when watching this set on the computer. These are little problems, which on the whole aren't a big deal, but the real flaw that this set suffers from is its glitches. These glitches are fragments of images from other scenes that appear on the screen for a second. They appear and leave as if the disc skips and distorts the image, except these glitches are always there, always in the same spot. Luckily these glitches only appear about five times total. Only five seconds worth of watching glitch during the whole 650 minutes of the set isn't much to obsess over. Other than what I have mentioned the video quality was awesome.
Audio:
It's flawless. The audio tracks for both English and Japanese are great. The voices, sounds and music are awesome- clear, well-synched, and unedited. This is a set that I can safely say that I love the English dub. It's hilarious! The emotion of the voices adds a whole other layer of enjoyment to the dub. It's a good thing that the dub is great because...

Comment:
Trigun is an great anime. Trigun was the right blend of comedy, drama and action to make it a worth while and enjoyable anime. It follows the adventures of the gunslinger Vash the Stampede, where he is always getting into trouble... If you like animes such as Cowboy Bebop and FLCL, you'll probably enjoy this anime.
The packaging is the best part of the set (check the screenshots). It is a graphic gatefold with Vash, Wolfwood, Meryl, B. D. Neon, Legato Bluesummers and Knives. The three discs have beautiful graphics of the Gung-Ho Guns on them. The discs are in these "snaps" that hold the disk securely in place.
The menus are pretty generic: "Play", "Setup" and "Scene Access". Then there are menus for the idividual episodes which include "Intro", "Part A", "Part B", "Ending", and "Preview". The theme song H.T is playing in the background which gives it a nice touch.
This was my first set, though it may not be the greatest, it's still alright.
