Issue 5.2



The twang of adventurism has set the tone for recent anime series, bringing back a sense of the old western frontier. But, as only the medium of anime can, shows like COWBOY BEBOP, OUTLAW STAR, and—most importantly—TRIGUN are interjecting an iconoclastic view of this American institution. EX's latest feature looks at this new Space Western genre, and delves into the background, technology, and characters of the hit show TRIGUN.
