Synopsis

On the planet Noman's Land, reporters Meryl Stryfe and Roberto De Niro traverse the desert in search of the infamous outlaw Vash the Stampede. But the man they find near the desolate town of Jeneora Rock is a far cry from the lethal terrorist they expect. In reality, Vash is a passive and carefree drifter; he is a proponent of peace, beloved by the residents of the town. His inaccurate reputation actually stems from the widespread atrocities committed by his twin brother Knives Millions. Still, Vash is dubbed "The Humanoid Typhoon'' due to the tendency for violent chaos to follow in his wake.

Chaos soon arrives in the form of bounty hunters seeking the high price on Vash's head, and their violent pursuit poses great danger to the town and its precious power plant. Thanks to his gunslinging prowess, Vash is able to resist most of these nefarious forces. Yet he must soon face off against the ultimate evil: the unstoppable destructive power of his malevolent brother.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

*If you watched the original Trigun (1998)*: Please save yourself the suffering and skip this one. I wish I did. Unfortunately, besides the retention of some characters and setting from the original, it is not only a completely different story, but different in terms of genre, presentation, pacing, characterization, the atmosphere... Pretty much everything, to be honest. So much so that I wonder why they bought the IP instead of making their own original show, because their vision is simply incompatible with what Trigun sought to be.

*If you did not watch the original*: I strongly recommend you to watch the original instead, it is a ... classic for good reason. But, if you never intended to watch the original, you may wonder if Trigun Stampede is still good enough to watch on its own. Sadly, my answer to that question is still negative. I'll briefly explain why.

For starters, although the anime bears so little resemblance to the original, it is written in a way that expects you to be familiar with the characters and the setting. There is little to no explanation about the characters and their motives. Instead, the writers presume you watched the original to the end, are familiar with the revelations that came at the last few episodes, and now ready to digest their fanfiction. Who is Vash? What is happening in the first scene with the spaceship? Why does he have the reputation he has? None of these questions are answered, and neither would the viewer be able to figure them out from the context.

There is a significant amount of (indirect) information dump in the first few episodes, but not in a way that would give you a coherent picture, and too early to fully appreciate. You feel as if you are watching the second season of an anime, but it isn't a sequel; it is an alternative version. This identity crisis alone would make watching Trigun Stampede as a standalone product pretty grating.

But the real killing blow is the pacing and the focus on mindless action scenes that come one after another without rhyme or reason. To be honest, if I had to classify it, I think it would fit the definition of a Western cartoon or action flick better than a Japanese anime. Without spoiling the events too much, the episodes are like a disconnected string of random encounters, and the moment one is resolved, the other one kicks in without sufficient downtime to digest what has happened.

For one thing, this forces the characters to completely overhaul their personality and goals every five minutes, with no coherence. For the other, it is downright improbable for these events to follow each other with so little time in-between without prior coordination (which is not the case). Therefore, it feels like the writers completely dropped any pretense of realism so that they can keep the audience "interested" with more of their mindless action scenes, as if they are kids with ADHD. Or I guess they didn't want their huge animation budget to go to waste?

Frankly, I believe text prediction AIs like ChatGPT could write a more coherent and enjoyable adaptation if you trained them on the original material. If you just want some action scenes and do not care much about consistent writing, I guess Trigun Stampede is still watchable. If it were a standalone anime and the original did not exist, I would likely give it a 5. The context being what it is, it gets a 3. I pity the artists whose hard work and dedication were ruined by the director and the script writers.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Three episodes into Trigun Stampede and I can't wait to see the rest. Having never watched the original I didn't know what to expect. But Trigun Stampede easily delivers a mysterious story filled with zany characters and stellar CG animation.

Fights are fluid and fast paced, and the more story driven segments never linger for too long but not quite long enough either. World building could use some expanding apon, but this far into the show it hasn't been an issue. The score works great with the scenes, but nothing has caught my attention quite yet except for the heartfelt opening.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

If you've watched the original Trigun series, this reboot might be a bit disappointing.

First thing you'll notice is the CG animation. While there are parts this sticks out like a sore thumb (or arm), the fight and action scenes are pretty impressively gone. But yeah, the vibe CG gives out is just not something that currently be hidden. It's especially jarring when characters are trying to be goofy-expressive with facial expression or they're having a gag scene.

Speaking of gag scenes, 3 episodes in and the series is still not at all funny. It vibe is really too try hard and takes itself far more ...
