I just finished watching Trigun Stampede. I didn’t know they had rebooted this series. I loved the old series.

Likes: I really liked the new animation style, and how they completely focused on actual plot.

Dislikes: I thought the soundtrack in the new series was a bit lacking, and it was way less goofier. Character felt slightly flat compared to old series.

Edit: forgot to add that there is absolutely not a single LOVE AND PEACE! ✌️

Overall, I thought it was good. Waiting for next season.

What do you guys think?

    I didn’t like it. Death was treated so lightly in it. In the old one, Vash doesn’t shoot his gun until episode 5 because a fancy action sequence wasn’t the point. Nobody gets turned into bloody mist. Vash’s pacifism and its consequences are explored in interesting ways.

    And Knives doesn’t play the organ. At that point, they should have just given him a mustache to twirl as that would have been subtler. He was a major disappointment in the new one.

    More cliche and just bad, blunt directing with the percentage meter during the plant stuff in the final episode or two of the season as well.

    I’m sure I could come up with more specifics if I reviewed each episode, but it generally lacked the charm, mystery, humor, and tension of the old one.
