Been watching Trigun with my dad, as I knew all the major plot details in advance and I thought it would be interesting to see it with someone who didn't know anything. He likes it. I think I'll try him with Cowboy Bebop next.
I was still kind of surprised at some points though... mostly with the flashback episode with the Seeds crew. The more I think about the Knives-framing-Steve thing, the more I want to gouge out my eyes with a spork and pour bleach in the holes.
