Does Trigun anime cover the whole manga?
Not even close.
I liked the manga, it sorta erases the anime for me, but I am a huge whore for "canon" when it comes to this shit. I love Nausicaa the movie but the fact that the manga for it keeps going sorta erases the movie. I just gotta take the "real" version of any of these stories, the idea of a story being cultivated with all sorts of little hints and scenes for specific purpose later on being taken on by another author and those hints and scenes rendered meaningless or misconstrued makes my skin crawl. No better than fanfiction in the grand scheme of things. Original author from start to finish or bust.
I guess Nausicaa is a weird case, though, considering Miyazaki did BOTH. His version of the world definitely evolved beyond what the movie conveyed as he continued to write the manga, though.
Anyway before the manga ruined it for me, though, Trigun was definitely one of my favorite animes. Worth it for sure.
