this one really resonated with you all, huh
All versions of Trigun hold a special place in my heart, but the sheer horror of plants on every level in Trimax is extremely important to me
Okay very last Trigun Maximum Vol. 2 thoughts before next week!

Here we go! Trimax vol 2!
GOD DAMN! People have already spoken about the tone shifting a bit in volume 1 but 2 goes off with a bang! The switch from shonen to seinen is real! I personally tend to read more seinen then shonen manga so the shift was very welcome to me on my first read through of it (though this particular scene made me squirm a bit)
Zazie!! 🥰💜🥰 I just think they’re neat
I see the infamous motorcycle bit all the time but this part right after cracks me up
Vash: hey, how do you know so much about Knives?
Wolfwood: … Oh shit look over there!
The rituals are intricate
Really fond of this tiny Vash
And last but not least HOLY FUCK I love the detail that Nightow is able to put into this is bonkers to me! Having partially grown up in New Mexico I have a huge soft spot for deserts in fiction and wide shots like this. Even though I have the heat tolerance of a husky in a sweater ;-;
I really dig this volume personally since it’s where I found I was really starting to click with the manga the first time through
getting drunk and then watching trigun: 10/10 would recommend
they're suuuuch fucking dorkasses i love them
mr the stampede you have such a kind face i'd die for you
she calls him "ace" i'm gonna dieeeeee that's so cute!
she's in a cringe4cringe relationship. good for her
i am ethically opposed to literally everything this man stands for and i'd [REDACTED FOR LEGAL PURPOSES]
the sudden shift to bishie vash is honestly a great visual gag
dorks. losers. dweebs, even
"Thoughts of home, whether good or bad, are positive indicators of a journey of the heart" Jesse what are you fucking talking about
again, he's drawn this way as a joke. he grabs her injured shoulder to prove that she got hurt. this entire thing with marianne is a Bit, same as his weird gecko stickbug Bit in episode 1
again, this whole scene, and how he plays up his reaction to meryl asking if he cries himself to sleep every night reads as a joke to me. he's playing the role of amorous drifter very obviously so as to deflect attention and make himself seem like less of a threat. that's just my interpretation, but i like it
milly "yes, and"s him a lot more, and in ways that he's not expecting, which is cute

bugs
focusing, Bit, focusing
Milly is sooooo deeply unimpressed by Vash's shenanigans and i love that
PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3
The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.
Basic rundown:
- They are all 3 sentences long
- Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
- Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
- No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
- The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post
Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly
There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate
