Tristamp was one hell of a ride, that I found to be much more enjoyable than the original and this is why:

-Pace: opposite to the 90s version which was very slow paced, the reboot moves from scene to scene very quickly. One fight ends, only for another to start immediately after. It was obvious the producers were rushing to introduce all of the characters and cover all the events that occurred in the original but with only half of its length. I personally preferred the new version's quick progression to the horrifically slow pace of the original. I found it easy to keep up with its speed which is definitely due to my being a damn genius thank you and not because I've already seen the 90s version nu-huh.

-Soundtrack: my ears were in heaven the whole time I was watching this show. The sound track does a perfect job of not only setting the mood for each scene but also amplifying the emotions it evokes.

-Visuals: So vibrant and captivating, with an excellent attention to details that makes every scene an absolute visual delight. There is so much symbolism and hints that are not spoken out loud but very boldly shown. It leaves the audience with a freedom of interpretation, to analyse and weave a story with its threads. This being one of my absolute favourite parts of any form of art consumption, I had a great time coming up with my own analysis while watching each episode.

-Animation: While the use of CGI might have been a turn off for many people, I personally think that it was executed very well. The animation was smooth and distinct and didn't feel awkward at all.

-Plot: Tristamp finally did the sci-fi tag justice with a plentiful of plant lore and not just brushing it off as "a remnant of long lost technology". The storytelling and the ending are completely different from the original, and I find myself
very happy with the new light they were introduced in. Especially since the ending of the 90s version was quite the disappointment.

-Characters: Same as the original (with the introduction of a few new faces) but with totally different backgrounds for the most part. They were given more depth and done more justice in tristamp in my honest opinion.

All in all, one of my favorites and I feel regretful that it was so short. I'm looking forward to the sequel and I hope it is just stunning as this one.
