Spoiler-free review
I haven't cared much for recent anime titles for 4-5 years, and this really feels like a breath of fresh air. The original Trigun animation was among my first and favorite anime series, and this feels like both a loving tribute, and bold reimagination all at once. Definitely worth a watch!
Animation:
Not typically a fan of CGI animation, and I'm sure most are fairly skeptical of it, but towards the later episodes the necessity of CGI use to make some of the scenes pop the way they did is unquestionable.

As of writing this review, I've yet to see the other OVA in this series so it may be updated. What you need to know is that this is a great story for any fan of paranormal thriller series, and that despite it's age both the graphics and audio hold up very well, but that's about where it falls off.
