#like i thought abt how how im biased by the 90s anime and stampede i perceive things differently

[guideaus]

i think with the first ep of stampede, i could withhold my judgement, then the first 3 felt all crammed in jenora rock for some reason, but i feel at this point theyre taking bits and pieces from the manga, but without it actually fitting by itself? ive said over and over i dont find stampede to be convincing (lack of world building or character development), but i swear its almost like it expects you to base your feelings off of the original works.

just thinking about wolfwood, i dont think i'd like him here. anything interesting abt him was taken away immediately. now he's some stranger we know is lying to vash w suspicious motives and is hiding them for some reason, and harshly criticizing him. he's my fave and i love him, but then seeing the end in ep 4 i was like oh... they... made him a liar......... and not even in a fun way

#personal #like i thought abt how how im biased by the 90s anime and stampede i perceive things differently #and i thought abt the point of monev (i think lmao) originally training for 20 years then the town in stampede was abandoned for 20 years #and ig u could connect that (monev was made to kill vash) but u cant get that just by watchin stampede #also the mention of a gate in ep 4. i can remember in the manga the guns were sent to basically torture vash #but here theres no established order for them. theyre here but idk why #it feels more like vash is occasionally running into random ppl who want him dead for god knows why #and the audience doesnt even know either

trigun stampede ep1 thoughts

cant say i like it opening right away w space, but that might be bc im biased from the anime. i liked the anime's approach a lot more than the manga's, honestly. especially not just space, but the whole seeds thing too shouldnt have been shown as the first thing

i am really not a fan of the designs of... most things in the ep lol. i've got a bone to pick w the designers for this series

the first scene was v out of context so i wont pick that apart

wish meryl didnt look 10 years old, but at least she doesnt sound 10. that was a criticism i had abt milly in the 90s anime

still upset abt the roberto guy, i guess they could change my mind but so far hes :/

i like the bits with the wildlife

im not bothered by meryl's occupation change (as a journlist only i mean), it doesnt really matter to me imo

not to have nostalgia glasses on, but i miss vash's old voice. i hear this one and im like oh this is sword art online boy/teru mp100 and i dont think i like that guy's voice anyway

again with a design thing, idk how i feel abt vash having "lost technology" so present. i made a post abt this way back, but maybe they change smth (but also they cant exactly justify the whole modern jp fashion thing in futuristic sci-fi space setting either so i wonder if theyll even attempt to explain this)

i like the bit abt vash interfering w plant stuff being added as a crime. i feel like in the original anime his bounty was iconic, but in that and the manga idk why it was even there, except to establish his contrasting pacifist nature against ppl that want the reward for his capture.

it also showing mps is a bit more interesting when the manga kinda felt like it pulled order/gov out of nowhere (before knives did his best to kill everyone, mostly getting rid of that)

i love vash's face at least. hes my little meow meow, wet pathetic kitten, etc.,

im surprised nightow's never attempted to show a map of the planet before. but idk shit abt maps so i cant make any statements abt this one

i love seeing a town defend vash immediately 🥺 technically i dont think its good for new audiences, (it shows hes not some monstrous villain, but not how he couldve gotten his rep, while before it was clearly the destruction caused from other ppl going after him, and him accepting the blame) but i'll pretend that what happened to him here happened at the end of the manga instead

i thought the ep was gonna imply meryl is like a spoiled rich kid from the city, but i guess not lol... (or kinda??)

the part where the plant is explicitly explained felt a little too hamfisted, or not subtle lol, like some video game, meant for the audience, not really any character. even if they used meryl's newly-out-of-school-sheltered-kid thing theyre doing

it seems weird the bar owner was in charge of the town?

also weird they just stopped talking abt vash's arm of "lost technology"

the villain for the ep being goofy was nice. v reminiscent of the original

no one can tell me a .22 bullet comes out of vash's gun... but also ig u could say smth abt that maybe

the music sounds nice :)

seems weird the corrupt cops just leave?? wouldve thought theyd get mobbed lol... and did the plant get fixed either too lol?

i think vash telling anyone abt his bro, esp the day he met said person, doesnt make sense

i dont think that flashback was necessary, either

and knives can go all out jamming, doing what ever he wants. its fine, he can be as weird as he likes

i dont really like the ending either. i dont know japanese music, but this also has to be modern jpop lol. where are the wurmple cries

also i forgot to say but theres nothing wrong w the cgi. anyone complaining abt that is automatically dumb lol
