Character Design: Trigun gets the win here. Vash and Wolfwood are both fairly unique and awesome at the same time, and while Cowboy Bebop has Ed, that's about it. Humor: Cowboy Bebop is just slightly ahead. The comedy episodes in it are actually pretty funny, though it's a close call. Fight Scenes: Trigun is the winner here in my book. Cowboy Bebop's fight scenes just seem to include basic guns and fist fighting, while Trigun has a cast of enemies with unique abilities. Storyline: Trigun takes the victory once again. Cowboy Bebop's story just gets too mixed up, and the humor episodes contribute little to the story. Animation: Tie. Both of them have fairly nice animation, nothing too spectacular. Soundtrack: Cowboy Bebop wins here in a landslide, due to it's unique mix of jazz music. So the overall winner in my book is...Trigun, no doubt about it (though Cowboy Bebop is also pretty damn good). I can't help thinking I'm forgetting a category, but...meh. Now, debate! |

these 2 are very different animes imo. While they have similarities, cowboy bebop I found a more serious spotlighted anime while I found trigun more light. I found that both of them are a tie as both have fairly nice plots... the middle ground of trigun is better. But the ending of cowboy bebop was better. So I found them a tie. Overall they both come around as 9 out of 10 animes to me. |

Meh, I disagree. While Trigun was good it would rate a 7/10 from me. While Cowboy... a 9/10. |

I hope you're talking about a fleshlight.
They're too simple for me, it's like anime fastfood. |

Heh, so of the people who actually voted in the poll itself I'm the only one who said Cowboy Bebop as of now. Well, here's why. Animation wise Cowboy Bebop is much more smooth then Trigun. Now that's not to say Trigun doesn't look good, it's got a very nice "rough around the edges" sort of charm, but Cowboy Bebop just simply looks much, much nicer IMO because of it's greater attention to detail and the more realistic look to things. Music wise Cowboy Bebop wins by a landslide. Trigun's music never stood out to me, but Bebop's fusion of jazz and rock is a very unique mix that reaches over a broad range of emotions. Action wise both shows do well, but Bebop surpasses Trigun IMO because they simply don't mess around. Like many other anime, Trigun often suffers by having far too many "pause" moments in the action, moments in which the characters fight, stop to rant about something, fight some more, rant some more, charge up a ridiculously powerful attack while the other sits there in shock, etc. etc. etc. Bebop is much more fluid with is fight scenes, intermixing dialogue and combat all at once and the fact that all the fighting in Bebop is quite a bit more realistic makes it better IMO. Character Design is a toss up of sorts. All the characters look nice in each show in their own way, so in this sense the show comes close to a tie. Close, but not perfect. Bebop surpasses Trigun again in this, and the reason I say so is because the character designs in Bebop seem to represent the personalities of the characters better then the Trigun designs do, at least the way I see it they do. Humor is a close one again, but Bebop takes the win once more. Overall the show is just funnier. Trigun has its zany humor moments, but Bebop's humor is seen throughout the entire show in not only its stand-out moments but in subtle ways too. Story wise neither one really excels or fails. Trigun's is innovative in some ways and fails in others, as is Bebop's. Bebop, however, is more interesting to me as each one of the characters has their own storyline that intertwines with the others but still manages to remain very personal to them alone at the same time, whereas Trigun follows the strict one-way only storyline which is still interesting, but doesn't give as much insight to the other characters as Bebop's style does. All in all, Bebop takes the cake here. It looks better and is more entertaining in many ways then Trigun is to me. |

I can not tell, is it just me or do we all look just like Adolph fucking Hitler with this swoopy emo-boy dreamy haircut dangling in our faces, making us all indescribably indistinguishable from each other; or maybe I'm just another megalomaniac? | |

Trigun's main characters annoyed me at first when they didn't want to kill anybody, blah blah blah, but the last few episodes finally came up with a resolution that made sense (vash killed a man, doesn't mean he's unforgivable when it was done to save Millie and Rem's Reincarnation). Trigun wins overall, but I thought Bebop's ending was much more appropriate. I liked Bebop's ending much better because its not a happy ending, in this way it is much more real. Note: Basically its alot like Sin City's ending. In conclusion, I voted for Trigun because it shows the cruelty and hatred of man in a much more revealing way than Bebop, which was of similar tone. |

Egh, Therren, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on a few points. First of all, in the action sense, Cowboy Bebop's battles aren't bad, and while I admit it is more realistic, the fights just aren't as interesting. Most of them are just regular, uninteresting fighting. While I don't have anything against that, most of the fight scenes are just similar over and over again, while Trigun mixes it up with a variety of different enemies that have various abilities, adding variety (which CB kinda lacks). In character design, I really can't see Cowboy Bebop winning. Spike is just, to me, a fairly boring character, and nobody (sans Ed) is really too interesting. Trigun, on the other hand, has both Wolfwood and Vash. They're pretty interesting characters on their own, and they do both develop over the course of the anime more than anyone from Cowboy Bebop. And as for story...I'm not strongly one way or the other, but I really wasn't impressed by Cowboy Bebop's story at all. I'm not saying Trigun's story was particularly great, but...I dunno. Oh, and Rectifier, I agree with you totally on the ending thing, I did think Trigun's ending was kinda meh but Bebop's was quite good. Doesn't change my overall stance, though. |

eh.. I thought trigun was funnier. I found Vash halarious at some points cause he's so damn luny. Cowboy bebop is more just haha funny. Edward is just kinda disturbing funny. I remember one part where it's suppose to be a heartfelt goodbye. But instead Vash makes a ridiculous face and smiles and says so long. It was simply to out of place to not be funny. But like I said cowboy bebop much better in seriousness. I found cowboy bebop equal to trigun simply because there 2 different kinds of anime. Ones luny the other one is more mature. That's the real difference between the two. |

Cowboy Bebop had better music IMO, Trigun had some like western sounding music if memory serves me right. |

I'm not surprised you disagree with alot of what I said, you and I have a differing opinion on which show is better afterall. However, I also stated that neither show had a particularly impressive storyline, just that I liked Bebop's more because it gave a very large ammount of insight into not just Spike and Jet's pasts, but the pasts of Faye, Ed, Julia, Vicious, and even Ein. Trigun doesn't really seem to do that in their character development. For the most part it's only Vash, Knives and Wolfwood we REALLY know anything about, even the two main female characters get kinda washed to the side in this sense as all they really seemed to give as an insight into their pasts was the fact that they worked for the national collection agency or something along those lines. Apart from that there's not really much of anything. But, then again, I've not seen the show in quite some time so I might be wrong about that. |
