| There are a lot of why's but this was an alright first episode |
 |
| CGI was even worse than I expected from the trailer. The reporter girl being all embarrassed when praised looked really out of place in CGI. It improved by the end though, so we'll see how it goes next time. The music, humour, story, shot selection and literally everything else being good made up for it. |
"The f**ker who goes round beating people to a pulp. He thinks it'll never happen to himself. But there's gonna be a day when the f**ker gets f**king beaten to a pulp too. But that day's f**king today and the guy doing the beating is a f**king c**t." - Sang-hoon, Breathless (2009)    |
MeanEYE said: thebrentinator24 said: "BOO! Did I scare you, anime fans? I'm CGI!" Anime fans have been practically programmed at this point to automatically disregard anything that's CGI as trash, so obviously Trigun's all-CGI return will be controversial for some, but the CGI looks fine bruh. People over-exaggerate and act like every CGI anime (or even 2D anime that use CGI for certain moments, like Chainsaw Man) is the next coming of Hand Shakers or Ex-Arm. Anyway, a pretty good start for Trigun and I'm looking forward to seeing more. It's a foot in the door kind of act. You accept one "not so bad thing" and it keeps getting progressively worse. People are not against CGI as much as they are against lazy bad looking CGI. This one is not as bad as ex-arm, but it's an easy tell. Characters are lacking expressions, movement is stiff, etc. Problem is, it's a cheap way to cash in on old feelings as they are redoing, or adapting or whatever this is, old show which has many fans. Had this been a new anime all together, I'd be fine with this CGI. But it's not. It's also CGI that's made to look hand drawn, which makes it even worse because they are not going full on CGI because that would require a lot of details and work, but they are not going full hand drawn animation because that would require talent and money. So they are cheeping out while riding emotions of old and people keep justifying this with excuses such as yours. Here you go sir. You’ll need it  |
| You know, apart from them completely erasing Milly from the story (so far..) this reboot is okay for now, not a bad start for ep 1 but I just can't get used to these character designs, they are absolutely terrible. It's a pity because otherwise the CG isn't that horrid to make me puke. lol |
| It does not live up to its legacy. I swear I tried to resist, but I couldn't take the first five minutes of the first episode. It was like a sour lemonade juice. |

idealtoy said: The animation style bothers me to no end. The original anime was so good for it's time. It's hard to watch this in all 3DCGI. I'm going to give this a go anyway as the story (I am watching it now at 14:06 so far) is pretty good. Maybe it's the way the frame rate looks but this is gonna be hard. The backgrounds are good though. 😑 I'll be frank and say Trigun was kinda rough around the edges even for '98 but this? This is a travesty. |
 |
| I didn't really care for the original Trigun anime, but this? This is looking like anime of the season already for me. |
| Not going to put it down - yet. I'll wait for a few more episodes before having any legitimate input. I will say, however, that I am not a fan of Vash's new hairstyle and Meryl is 'too' cutesy for my taste. Well, we'll see how it goes. |
| Interesting they are choosing to introduce millions knives so early, |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| NGL as an old and huge fan of the OG source manga and anime, this was WAY better than I was expecting. Also did animators at Orange got all an upgrade to RTX 4090? Because this look incredible and is so much more fluid than the terrible 20-ish fps from Beastars. The jaw-drop on the last part on the cliff, in 2 years then went from "PowerPoint: The Animation" to 2017+ level of Pixar animation! Let's see what they will do with the story and the world tho... |
 |
| I didn't really feel much of anything watching it however it's still a very good first episode as there's intrigue to see more from the story and the characters. The CGI didn't really enhance the story in any way but also wasn't on the nose aside from the child models in the flashback. Looks like it'll be a very solid show if this is the average quality we're going to get for every episode. Interested in seeing if it gets any standout episodes. |
| This made me feel like a teenager watching my first anime all over again. |
Greyfen said: In the first anime we had the EXACT SAME JOKE about him being out of bullets in the first episode too. And Trigun always had these ridiculous shootouts.First episode was good up to the point the police are swindled into preforming some duel and then the leader goes bonkers and shoots a cluster bomb, then the whole world acts like gravity has a pause button when all the cluster bombs are falling, while he and everyone have there few moments under the sun looking for a bullet and Vash acting like an incompetent idiot who can't even realize through weight his gun is not loaded just for some poor attempt at ridiculous comedy the original was known for. It looked fairly decent up to that point. But it looks like it's just going to be a cheap imitation and over the top flashy horseshit with slightly more CGI capability & improved art. But improved art will only get them so far. |
 |
| Reading this thread is solid proof that no matter how high quality CGI can be, anime fans will still lose their shit over it. I pity anyone who slanders Studio Orange. Anyways, solid start to the episode. I didn't expect Million Knives to be introduced so early but I'll roll with this retelling of the story. I love how expressive the characters are, thats my favourite part of the animation. Had a little giggle when Vash had no bullets to use. |
 |
| i was worried over this but its actually not bad. CG is good but i didn't like the framerate in the first 3mins, but from 3min onwards, its just became so fluid. drastic change, i was actually mindblown. so far, not as good as the OG but still decent. |
 |
| It was the best looking anime I've ever seen. Gorgeous. |
| I don't care if it is CG or not but man, I just can't stand that Vash design, reminds me of SF6 Luke, such a punchable look. |
Noko- said: I love the CG. It reminds me of Treasure Planet and late western 2D animation, in a good way. Characters move in a super expressive way, especially Vash. thank you! yes! treasure planet for sure! |
 |
| So far so good! I disagree with the people complaining about the CGI. This isn't Berserk, and all you purists can go watch the original if you prefer. Now if you were to say that Meryl acts like a caricature of her original self, or that replacing Milly with some old Madao is a shall we say, interesting choice, then I could agree with you. Still loving this since it's lots of fun in the spirit of the source material. |
| Never seen the original, but damn that was a good episode. Love the CGI art style and animation, it is really well done. |
| From what I think there is a lot of potential in the story, that is why I will continue to watch it since its animation is not that I disliked it but it is a bit strange because there are different levels of frames between scenes, anyway, a good first episode |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| I can't work out my feelings about this. It doesn't look as god awful as I thought from trailers. I am interested in what he may say about his brother what changes, if any, are made. |
| This is a fun watch, damn ! |

| It's very tough to watch this. I love Trigun so much so I think I'll stick to it for a bit. The CG looks great for the environment, I just hate the character models so much and don't really like Vash's VA either. Hopefully I can look past it. |
 |
| The first episode of this reboot of that anime that every old MAL member has in it's favourite, for sure the world building seems great and fits my style. Orange did this great, we'll need to see what this is about for the few next episodes (since idk about anything) |
| I like everything, ok |
| Animation is giving me vibes similar to Atlantis: Lost Empire. |
