Since I’m a mecha head I would have added Getter Robo and Mazinger Z and their respective movies. I think american kids would have been responsive to super robot shows like this since Gundam Wing cleaned house when it debuted on the programing block.

I wonder if the 2002 Hunter x Hunter series could have been brought over too.

      The show later aired on Adult Swim in the United States with an English dub from March 31, 2003 to May 13, 2003. Reruns of Trigun continued to air on Adult Swim until August 2009, when the network lost the rights to air the show.

      I saw Trigun from bootleg dvds my friend had from hong kong lol

        Oh nice. At least I wasn’t off with the vibe. Anyway I watched it recently and outside of the main character being an awooga type it holds up well and the 2 prominent fem characters are awesome so if recommend it. Can’t say anything about the reboot I haven’t seen it.

        I also had Trigun bootlegs! Mine had full art and everything but they were obviously not official (I think I paid like 20USD for the whole season.
