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've watched the original multiple times, but I also really ended up liking the new one much more than I anticipated once I got over all the differences.

I don't usually like the CGI style animation, but I think they kept it looking tasteful and it let then have much more detail in the set pieces of the final episodes than would look good in hand drawn style animation.

I'd agree with the comment that this is more Knive's story than Vash's, and Meryl as a secondary viewpoint. That made it feel more like something new than just being a reboot. Also I enjoyed the increased tube spent on Zazie the Beast and the orphanage.

I'd totally get someone not liking both. It's like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly vs Aliens. Both are great, but the overall genres feel so different I totally get a sizeable group not I liking both.

Hopefully we'll get more of it because as more of a dark sci-fi person, I really enjoyed it.
