The only people who could possibly be mad at this are butthurt fans of the original that can’t fathom the idea of a re-imagining of the story that they’re nostalgic for. Just because it’s different doesn’t automatically make it bad. This show is objectively great so far, and as someone with no previous Trigun experience I think they’re nailing it. Honestly, I’m enjoying this anime WAY more than the original series. |
| People are sleeping on Stampede so bad, cause this is fucking amazing Only 3 episodes in and it's literally already better than the entirety of the original 26 episode run. ( not even just animation, but just the way the story is unfolding, and how much more serious it is while still retaining it's comedy elements here and there ) Honestly this is a serious contender for being the number 1 best anime this season, competing against DanMachi and Vinland Saga. Can't wait for more dude ! |
 |
| This show is really getting better with each episode. I'm glad they kept the episode violent because if everyone lived it wouldn't have felt as meaningful. The visuals for Millions Knives was cool. |

Honestly, I’m enjoying this anime WAY more than the original series. I have a soft spot for the original and always will but I am enjoying the different version of events in this series. I am all up for mixing things up. |
| This is objectively probably the best series this season but people be still whining and nitpicking. I feel sorry for you. But anyway, I hope the folks in the series will understand one day, that they would be fckd anyway even if Vash wasn't there. Knives and co. didn't come for him. |
| Well that was fucked up. Knives is the most psychopathic character I've seen. 13 min in Knives is meant to be walking down the stairs, except the animation has him walking in one place. If they're doing CGI, they can at least get rid of that sort of thing. |
"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)    |
| I really like how this episode depicts Vash who has changed from a crybaby to someone who says “I don’t have the right to cry”. |
| I love how this adaption is actually using Knives from the start. |
| The OST in this episode was simply astounding! The episode itself was just sad tragedy! CG was okayish... 5/5. |

Unkn0wnfear said: While the visuals were awesome and the episode was well-animated and exciting, as someone who has not seen much of the original nor read the manga I found myself very confused and not in a good way. Clearly there is a lot more going on than they've explained to us, but they didn't dangle a single thread for the viewer to latch on to in order to try and come up with theories as to whats going on. Why does Vash's brother have super powers? Why can blades destroy rocks? Why does Knives have god-like powers? What are his goals? It would have been nice to have at least one of these questions given us a partial answer... something we could grab onto and think about as we wait for more content. Instead, it all just happened and it felt kinda ridiculous frankly. They gave you threads in episode 1 and 2. Vash and knives are not from this planet, and somehow knives was the one to bring the ship down. So there’s the threads. And then in this episode knives says to vash that he can’t even control his gate yet. It hasn’t explained it yet, but those are the threads to grasp onto. |

| So, back when I watched Trigun I found Knives to be pretty scary. But, this took it to a whole other level, that is beyond scary. How can one not have their mouth wide open watching this insane crazy psychopath just slice through the town like it was a cucumber about to be added to a salad? |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Let's go, another episode of Vash goofing around aimlessly........ oh. What a dark, cruel episode where a lot of people dies and the city get destroyed in utter chaos, this part really shows how dystopia shows can really get unstettling. I watched because I was alright for the first two episodes, but now I see a goal and a reason for this anime, and it sounds cool. The animation was spotless and I noticed how much I forgot it was in 3D by how smooth it was, it was just portraying the story happening, and it did it very well. (Also I've heard that this episode really went far from the original manga, so that will be interesting to see in the end what those old anime watchers have to say about it and if they will do another Classroom of the Elite), nonetheless, gg Orange |
| I like everything, ok |
| Wow... I was just amazed with the whole atmosphere and situation, I felt really bad for the towns people.... |

| What an episode! It had everything: dramatism, crazy plot twist, action, emotions... and everything coated in sakuga animation and awesome soundtrack playing in the background. Bravo, studio Orange! |
| Episode looked good. |
| Wow, I rarely saw a darker episode in the Trigun series. |

I am all up for mixing things up. I like the retelling, the darker tone of this episode, and the changes of events. However, one thing I was a bit disappointed in that episode is that Vash isn't as subtly proactive in ensuring that no one dies as in the original ; a lot of death this episode, and none seemed to have bothered, at least in the instant, Vash too much. Of course he takes off with a smile, his strong mental resiliance was always a thing, but I believe we are missing a bit out on the pain Vash feels when a living creature dies. I have a very big soft spot for the duality in his character (no kill everyone is lovable VS actual badass gunman) and I'm afraid this won't be as fleshed out. Loved E.G. Mine redesign, really looking forward to discover the others. |

| This escalated very quickly indeed. Episode 3 and Knives is already going medieval on people. This is a good anime, regardless of if you watched the original or not. |

| Wow what an episode. The tonal shift is crazy! I am kinda speechless, that felt like a season finale. Knives literally pulled out a million knives lol. RIP to all the PC's that rendered that insane shot of Knives slicing the town! This anime is delivering so far, let's hope it stays like this |

| Shit just went real fast. Knives is insane. Gotta feel bad for Vash though, blamed for everything even though he tried to protect them. |

| Haters can fuck off because this was incredible. Studio Orange are really amazing |
 |
| Loved this episode by how different it dared to be, but can't help feel a little scared of how radical the change was (by the level of gore) |

| That went from 15 to 100 real quick. I still think this series feels less nuanced overall than the original (that destruction scene was a bit too over the top, in my opinion) but I'm enjoying it a lot so far. |

JirachiPix said: it's a meme 😭 essentially it just means cinematic excellence, like the highest quality of film/media! i used it a bit exaggeratingly, but i do think orange produces some of the highest quality cg anime in the industry rn. i could go into a whole essay of why specifically but it boils down to them having good art direction & technical skillSSa1nt said: Absolute kino of an episode sssfullchain said: What do you guys mean by kino, a dark reference?all i have to say: kino |
ad stellas super alas angeli. |
| Honestly, 3 episodes in and I'm enjoying this quite a bit more than the original show. I was never a die-hard fan, so any changes were never going to upset me. I like that they've introduced Vash and his brother so early on in this version. I believe in the original show we got that stuff more towards the end? It's been a while, so my memory's a bit fuzzy. Whilst the animation is amazing, Studio Orange haven't topped Houseki no Kuni just yet in my book. Although to be fair, I think that's due to the gems just looking so darn beautiful with all the hair effects haha. Hard to get prettier than that. People be losing a lot of arms this episode. |
| Trigun can't go wrong~ |
 |
| Actually starting to like how they reinvented the story, including the removal of the loud bubbly girl (too loud for me, I admit, the old drunkard is much quieter), and I was fairly impressed with the animation of Knives's weapons, the scene certainly had the impact and gravity, but Vash's design still kills me inside a little every time I have to lay my eyes upon it... |
