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?

Spoilers: I liked the more serious tone. This was a tragedy. We weren't learning about Vash, this is Knives' story. Regards, I was feeling a little strained waiting for a bit of physical humor.

I had an issue with the animation at first. Something about it hit the uncanny valley for me. It wasn't that it wasn't realistic, it was TOO realistic but either the frame rate or the motion just was a bit off. I was having serious flashbacks to Knights of Sidonia.

I'll agree that the characters were a bit flat. A bit more humor could have made it more dynamic. Maybe it was lost in translation, or maybe the direction was to keep it serious.

What I loved was the amount of exposition explaining where they were, who Vash, Knives, and Wolfwood were. I appreciated getting some understanding of the tech and the plants.

I have no opinion about the music. It made no impression on me.

I have almost the same opinions.

The only thing I'd add is that I loved the opening song (and the opening sequence too).

Opening was great, IMHO.
