Trigun

Like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop is an great series with an awesome story. It also has great gunfights and action. Although Bebop takes place "in space", the main plot usually takes place on some odd planet or setting, similar to Trigun. Spike always seems to save the day, as does Vash.

Both series share a similar style, being animated by Sunrise, but they also share the same spaghetti western ideals of the lone gun winning the day and such. There's also a strange likeness between Vash and Spike, one that is impossible to describe but there all the same.

Both shows feature comedic bits created by the odd mix-up of the main characters. They also share a broad over-reaching plot that's mixed with a lot of one-shot episodes that don't really touch on that plot.

While both shows have an overall "fun" feel to them, they can get very dark - Trigun moreso than Cowboy Bebop. If you liked Trigun, try out Bebop.

Both Trigun and Bebop have very well developed storylines in terms of how the charachters grow. Both anime series are completely worth it simply for the last 2 climactic episodes, when you start really understanding what drives both Vash and Spike.

This can really be summed up quite easily: both Bebop and Trigun have a tall sexy goof-ball hero, and take place in a space western setting. The similarities are vast, as are the differences, though you will surely like one if you like the other.

In Trigun, Vash The Stampede just seems to have no luck, which is similar to Spike in Cowboy Bebop. Both of them seem to be running away from their past while trying to survive the present. There's plenty of old-fashioned shootouts in both series while you are presented with the past of each character. I recommend that you see both series if you like the action genre.

Trigun and Cowboy Bebop involve gun slinging badasses with clouded pasts that are slowly uncovered throughout the anime. Both also contain an adversary who was once a friend of the protagonist, to add the symbolism of confronting one's past.

With both Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, the protagonist is wacky with a serious side to him, and both are quite lovable. Both animes also have a very westerny feel to them, despite being far in the future.

Both Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are very similar in their style and animation. Both main characters have a very sad past, and go on adventures with comrades.

Most anime fans instantly know of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. If you don't, then you have no clue what you're missing out on! These series are two of the best I have ever watched. They have great visuals, the best story lines, and characters that you'll gain a great fondness of.

These anime have many similarities: they're both set in the future, they both have a funny twist, and they both have similar main characters. The list could go on, but the main similarity is that both of these anime are "must see" series.

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun have elements that are similar. Spike and Vash are both characters who, on the surface, aren't taken seriously for a good reason; but are both can be serious, have immense talent, and have pasts that come back to haunt them. Both of the series also, to a certain degree, have pseudo-western terminology and include a similar structure in terms of their episodes. Best of all, despite the parallels, they are both able to have very well done stories of their own.

I think if you liked Bebop or Trigun you'd like the other, simply because Vash (Trigun) is like a cowboy, but it seems he has more cowboy in him than Spike. Also, the stories deal with them trying to escape their past that inevitably catches up to them.

The reason for recommending these two seems kind of obvious. They're both in the same genre (sci-fi western), and have a similar atmosphere. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are both mainly western-type shows that feature showdowns, shoot-outs, and bounties; these things are mixed with comedic moments and bits of drama that create great character development and suspense, which leaves you hanging in the end.

Both Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are pretty dark and the atmosphere is very stressful, but that's balanced with humor and irony. Both stories tell about a 'hero'/'outlaw' who has lost someone and is trying to avoid it from happening again. Minor characters have their own importance in both series.

I watched Trigun first, and having finally caught up with my anime and seeing Cowboy Bebop, I am struck by how similar the two anime are. The most immediate similarity is the characters Spike and Vash; both are relatively easygoing and carefree in casual conversations, and are quite able when it comes to fights. As each anime continues, more history is explored and each grows deeper, often in quite interesting ways. While they do end up differing quite a bit in major characters and plot points, if you liked one, you'll surely find something to like in the other.

Bebop is a great story about a trio of bounty hunters and how they catch bounties and such. Trigun is about a man with a large bounty on his head, and his life is always being interrupted by people trying to catch him or hurt others (and he always gets involved). Both are set in a crude but advanced futuristic setting and are a great watch.

Both Trigun and Cowboy Bebop have a similar sort of mood to them aswell having similar characters. Both funny with serious parts and are worth watching.

Both Cowboy Bebop and Trigun tell the story of a gunslinger with amazing skills, trying to escape a horrible past and start anew, only to find that it´s hard to run away from mistakes of the past, and that it´s better to take responsibility for them.

Both Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are futuristic western-type series. That alone should be enough for a fan of one series to like the other, although the series are still quite different in many aspects. Trigun has supernatural elements, while Bebop is mainly realistic. Still, both series have enough similar qualities to make one think fans of one will also love the other.

If so far there are like 40 recommendations for each other,Trigun and Cowboy Bebop must really have something in common...!And so it is: both have a great sci-fi background,a similar design,and,above all,superb characters: they look so damn strong and,at times,funny,that it's hard to think of them just like normal people,handling with troubles and bad guys from their mysterious past.

So,if you liked one,you'll love the other as well,be sure :)

Both have likeable main characters who eventually must confront their pasts. The feelings you get from both series are similiar, and they are really just two titles that go hand-in-hand.

Both series are about badass, nearly invincible guys with freaky haircuts.Albo, both series are funny nad full of action.

There has always been some sort of war between "Cowboy Bebop" fans and "Trigun" fans as to which one is better. This is because they're both so similar, and yet so different. Because of the similarities, people want to compare, but because of the differences, people think one is better than the other. However, "Trigun" and "Cowboy Bebop" are so similar and yet not that a person could easily fall in love with both if they weren't so stubborn. So, if you keep an open mind and try not to compare them, you'll love this anime!

The parallels are endless. Both series have a hero with a hidden past who does things his own way. A group of friends joins this hero as he makes things right in his life. If you have seen one series but not the other, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Even with a lot of superficial differences, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun have definitely something that links them to each other. The main characters, Spike and Vash, are like long lost twins, having the exactly same strong and weak points. Perhaps created by the similar animation, colour palette, easy-going atmosphere and the kind of mental struggle the characters go through, these two simply feel the same as well.

I've grown confident that one can not mention Cowboy Bebop without Trigun in the same sentence and the other way round, and hence, if you're a fan of one, you're obligated to watch the other, too.

Both series are a marvel to behold when developing characters and plotlines. They're also done under similar settings - the "space western" feel. Both animes also have awesome soundtracks. Spike and Vash both fit the 'cool-and-mysterious' lead character role well. For the most part in respect to Vash.

Both are about badasses traveling around the world in search of something. But soon relise that their past is catching up with them... Soon they go in search of a person from the very pass they tried to forget.

Both series have a similiar theme even though the time frames are completely different. Vash has a "I'm the man" side yet at the same time he has the "love and peace" side. This also goes for Spike. Both series are about badasses whose past eventually catches up with them.

They came out the same year, are set in futuristic yet western sytle worlds, and have intriguing main protagnists that resemble each other some way deep down inside. Both have similar pacing as well, with many of the early episodes as humorous and seemingly little to do with the main plot other than developing the characters' personalities and then both switch to darker and more serious episodes later on.

The feel of Cowboy Beebop and Trigun is similar in regards to the well animated fighting, weapon handling, and other action scenes, as well as the perfect intertwining of serious moments (drama) and comic relief (comedy). And although it may not show on the first few episodes (and they are still catching!), each anime has a deep engaging storyline as well as excellent character development.

Cowboy Bebop is Trigun, just with some seriousness. The main characters are quite similar, but the storyline is completely different. So be sure to check them both out!

If there ever was a carbon copy of a main character, it's Abel (copied from Trigun's Vash). Both polarize between being an extremely goofy and aloof person to a quiet and semi-badass. In both cases, the two extremes end up being (in my opinion) far too different to be plausible and consequently end up being annoying. Regardless, Trinity Blood is like Trigun with vampires.

Both shows are quite different except for the protaginists from each mirror each other almost perfectly. They way they act, their ideals, and the things that haunt them. For this alone you should try the other if you liked one.

If you liked Vash's bipolar character, and are interested in seeing what he would be like in a darker, vampire-filled environment, check out Trinity Blood. Trinity Blood is like a combination of Hellsing and Trigun. TB's Abel and Trigun's Vash have the same goofy appearance, which makes everyone think they're just bumbling fools. Then when they get down to business, they're suddenly the most skilled fighters around and sport new badass looks. Abel also reflects Vash's desire not to kill and to 'all just get along,' although I'd say Vash's is a stronger resolution. To round out the similaries, both characters have a mysterious nemesis from their past they must ultimately confront. I think Trinity Blood is a bit more violent/gory though, so if you just want a more light-hearted series, it might not be for you.

As others have already pointed out, if you like Vash in Trigun, it would be pretty hard for you not to like Abel in Trinity Blood. Just like Vash, Abel is goofy and bumbling, right up until he has to whip out the mojo to fight a real baddie. Both characters also have brother issues, a drive to protect mankind, and a great power that causes them inner turmoil.

Trigun and Trinity Blood are basically the same stories, with the same basic lead character, and a different world. Sure, they each sound different, and the plot seems to go in a different direction, but it always ends up in the same place: the overly (to the point of ridiculousness) kind protagonist (who is exceptionally skilled and powerful) saves the day with no casualties, changing the world one life at a time. But there is one being (his peer out of the distant past) seeking to destroy everything who he is, and he must once again face this being.

I guess it's a good formula, but it's definitely a formula.

Well, Trinity Blood is pretty much a mixture of Trigun and Hellsing in story, and the male lead has a comparable personality as well. Trinity Blood pulls off a slightly longer story, but Vash > Abel.

Abel (Trinity Blood) and Vash (Trigun) are both very weak, lazy, and seem to be uncool; yet in fact, they are both powerful and very cool. The darkness of their respective pasts is another factor that makes them relate to each other.

Obviously this connection has been made before, but if you liked TriGun for Vash, then chances are you will like Trinity Blood for Abel, and vice versa. Abel is a blatant copy of Vash, as both come off as bumbling fools and have great power that they are hesitant to use and even fear. There is also a female character in both shows who acts as the head of reason for the male protagonist's foolishness.

In both Trinity Blood and Trigun, the main protagonist is clumsy and foolish, but is in fact very powerful and intelligent. He comes from a superior race, but is coexisting with normal humans and is desperate to protect them, and not harm his enemies. Also, both characters have a very similar history and tragedies in their pasts. They are at first misunderstood, but as people get to know them they realize that the main characters are very kind and caring people who refuse to use their powers unless it is for the sake of others.

Trigun and Trinity Blood center around main characters who act like the goofy comic relief, but when in a bind turn into the serious hero, all the while having to deal with the problems that come from keeping their promises not to kill anyone. But just because they can't kill, doesn't mean these anime don't have plenty of action.

Both Trigun and Trinity Blood have main characters that are extremely goofy, are unlikely heroes who wish not to kill anyone, and have unrealistic ideologies. However, when things get serious the characters completely change into serious fighters who will do anything to stop people from getting hurt. While the tones may differ these two series feel very familiar.

If you like the characters' that is one side serious and another funny, and if you like the themes 'to protect human from harm' and 'love and peace', these are the anime you have to watch.

Furthermore, both has a similar back story to start their journey: Two brothers (twin) with two different understandings fight and seek for justice upon the death of his beloved one, and to protect the next one. And hoping one day, to be forgiven.

I can't really do this without giving up spoilers but let's just say that the protagonists in both series are goofy easy going guys who can turn totally badass serious when needed. Both series have similar themes and overall plot. Both lead characters come from mysterious origins and are put in a position of responsibility over the human race. I pretty much felt like I was watching the same series as Trigun when I watched Trinity Blood. They both combine serious mystery, shonen action, and slapstick comedy in all the right ways.

Post Apocaliptic Worlds, a confused humanity, present day technologies considered like some sort of magic no one knows about anymore, lots of guns, a goofy-funny- well intended main character with a misterious past and lots of hidden powers. Whom in this world does not like any of these things O.O I wonder? So in case you heard anything you like, well you are indeed in the right way to watch a really good series.

I first watched Trinity blood because a friend reccommended it to me because I like Blood+.  But when I saw the first episode, all I could think of was how much it reminded me of Trigun.  Well, first of all, the main characters, Abel and Vash are very similar in their everyday personalities.  Both goofy and loveable, but also incredibly powerful and dangerous beings.  There are also somewhat similar supporting characters who balance the main guys out.

The differences being that Trinity Blood is alot darker and quite a bit more bloody and violent.  Trinity Blood is like Trigun but darker, and vith vampires.

Trigun and Trinity Blood are eerily similar in their tones, several of the characters, and the overall story arc. A man with a mysterious, yet painful past that tries to hide behind a mask of innocence? An eventual plot to destroy all of humanity? Mayhem and charnage wherever the main character goes?

Despite their similarities, the two shows do differ enough that you won't feel as you are rehashing something you have already seen. If you enjoyed one, try the other.

Both Trigun and Gungrave are yy the same creator, and there are elements of the self-sacrificing personality in both Vash and Brandon Heat. If you liked one, try out the other.

Even though Gungrave is a dark anime whereas Trigun is more humorous and lighthearted, if you liked one you will probably like the other. Both anime are about gunslingers with great skills and contain some great shoot out sequences. In my opinion Gungrave is the slightly better of the two due to its deep storyline (even though I greatly disliked the ending); but nevertheless if you watched and enjoyed either of these anime the other is a must.

Vash from Trigun is a lot like Brandon from Gungrave. Both are badass gunslingers who also have a soft side. Both have the same writing style too because Yoshiro Nightow wrote them both.

Trigun and Gungrave,Both of these series will have you asking for more by the time your done with them. With insane gunfights and plots thatyou can't even imagine. if you even liked one bit of one you would definitely would like the other. though you might not find as much humor in gungrave than in trigun.

They both have "gun" in the name. That's good enough for me.

In all honesty, if you liked Vash in TriGun, you will probably like Brandon in Gungrave, and vice versa. Both characters are badasses with a soft side, though Brandom more badass and Vash more soft side. Plus, both involve two people who were very close, but are torn apart by betrayal, and now vie to kill eachother.

Anyway, you'll enjoy one if you liked the other.

Well in terms of plot those 2 series haven't got propably nothing in common maybe apart from badass main character. These anime are a great watch for action, drama oriented fans. Trigun has some comedic relief but it can be deadly seriuios as the series progress.

Both series are in a time period slightly different than our current and have some form of futeristic feeling whilst still not being a full blown sci-fi. Also both series have an awesome story involving both the past as the present of the main character. Also the amount of action in both series will satisfy your desire.

Both of these anime where to originally written by the same Manga artist and the music composed by the same composer. So the style over all gives these two anime the same feel. The gunslinger action in both of these are really well done and the stories well thaught out.

If you watched Trigun, enjoyed it, but thought that there was too much silly jokes and goodie-goodie stuff, then Gungrave is a perfect anime for you. The characters were designed by the same person (Yasuhiro Nightow) and there's plenty of shooting going on, but the overal mood is uncomparably more sinister.

In Gungrave, they actually always shoot to kill.

Both series are very good. While its hard to recommend either series due to the vast difference in the setting/plot/characters I always do, simply because both anime have very high production values.

The story telling is brilliant in both with perfect pacing (although Gungrave's is better). The anime have a great respect for bonds and how characters change. If you like gungrave and dont mind some comedy Trigun is perfect. If you like Trigun and dont mind darker anime's then Gungrave is perfect too.

Lastly the music in both is spot on ;).

Trigun and Gungrave have very similar feels. Trigun is defiantly heavier on the comedy side, and overall is more light-hearted than Gungrave, and Gungrave has a substantially darker look and feel to it, but the style is very similar and I think that if you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

well besids both having gun in he title, being in produced by madhouse, having the same director and being in my top 5 anime of all time bouth series  have simmiler animeation although admittiley gun grave is of better quality. Both deal with thems of betrayl and revenge and bothe have simmiler settings. vash is a lot like brandon because they have simmiler goles and both dont corupt themselves. and i dont want to give anything away but harry is a lot like knives. also bouth start out taking place in a slightley realistic world and then slowley transishin into sci fy. LOng story short if you liked one you will like the outher.
