This anime keeps having more and more drama, the 2D animated part was pretty neat. Man this big organization by Knives seems to have so many strings, they might be the cause of all of the problems in this place, lmao.
I like everything, ok

Another great episode. I loved how they did the backstory with the 2D and that art style. Sad backstory as well. So much going on while the sandsteamer is on a collision course with the town Wolfwood’s orphanage is in. Can’t wait until Saturday’s episode.

I’ve loved Nicholas in every adaptation and this one is no different, if anything it made me fall even moooooore in love with him. That backstory, the setup, music, scenery, everything was so beautiful, I had to watch the episode twice and might watch it a couple more times. So far, really loving this version the most but mind you, I never read the manga so, I’m sort of biased towards the anime

This was the best episode far. How they showed the past of Punisher was soo good and i also loved the psychedelic shit that was happening with him while experimenting. I also loved the action and hoe the episode ended in a chaotic not, what will happen now

Im scared now that Stampede is just going to be 12 episodes, without a second season. It really feels like the pacing is going to start to become way too fast and there won't be enough room for things to really breath and settle in the story. Say what you will about the original anime and manga having some 'filler' stuff. But I think that helped to really flesh out the world, the side characters and Vash himself.

not a great episode. the oddly-animated silent-film backstory wasn't good. the brief psychedelic scene wasn't good. both felt/were out of place

but the introduction of the bad lads gang, the blue haired gravity guy, livio, the priest/scientist guy, wolfwood's genesis story, etc were pretty solid

Really liked the storybook aesthetic for Wolfwood's backstory, the 2D animation and silent-film text screens for dialogue made it feel like there's some form of somber whimsy to this, which made the shift to the psychedelic sequence more effective. I also liked that the somber music track that played throughout flashback would extend into the present day with Livio shooting at Vash while Wolfwood watches on, kinda paints the song as representative of Wolfwood's mindset. Good mood setting.

Wolfwood's backstory in the original anime was different, but I was already vaguely aware of his manga backstory since I stumbled across it years ago, though I didn't know about Livio so it's nice that I only got the child grown up part. Solid stuff all around.

Also Legato made his debut, I've been waiting for him to show up for a while, and honestly, he might have the biggest downgrade in appearance in Stampede. Hate how he looks here.

Meryl's conclusion from the photo of Vash and the kid is something's up with Vash, that he ages slowly. Could it just be the other way around?
With Wolfwood also being a victim of the cult's experiments, he grew to be older than his friend Livio.

Jesus, this is too much to handle! My heart is in PAIN.

I knew Nicholas would have a really sad backstory but that was worse than I could’ve imagined. He gave in to those bastards and it still didn’t save his brother 😭

This is such a good episode and that soundtrack, gave me chills!
Fan of the original Trigun but wow, I'm amazed at Stampede so far, it's incredible.

This was a nice episode; we get a back story on Wolfwood and his "brother" Livio.
