I have thought of the similarities between Trigun and Firefly, but I never compared Mal and Vash.^^ The two are just so different. The biggest image in my head is from 'Serenity' when Mal walks on board and puts a bullet in that gorram Alliance agent's head without breaking stride. Mal is willing to kill people when the need arises. Vash was adamantly opposed to killing anyone and went to great lengths to avoid doing so.

I actually think the two characters wouldn't get along at all if they were to meet up.^^

To be honest, if they ever did meet I wouldnt really care. I would just be laughing and laughing and laughing.

Just because they are both westerns doesn't mean they are anything alike.

Yes,

I am just watching Trigun now and thinking about how it reminded me of firefly and what do I see on the mailing list but this!

Yes, it has the same speech patterns, same type of humour, Mal and Vetch even have the same type of clothes. They both spend there time trying to live quiet lives while the universe falls apart around them.

The other characters are also similar.

I am not saying they are copies or anything like that but the attitude and the setting are similar.
I enjoy both :)

First off, his name is Vash. Second, they have almost no technology in Trigun, as it was nearly all lost after Knives went crazy on everyone.
Third, Mal wears a simple brown duster, while Vash wheres a fancy red coat with tons of buttons. Fourth, Mal has little problem with killing people when he feels they earned it, whereas Vash nearly goes mad after killing one person. Fifth, Mal doesn't really try to live a quiet life. Sure, he'd like things to go smoother than they do most of the time, but as he said in the Train Job, he enjoys messing with the Alliance. As I said before, just because they are westerns, that doesn't mean they are anything alike.
