We're totally going to have a new generation of kids using "Vash The Stampede"(with a sprinkle of "Humanoid Typhoon) as their username/handle aren't we?

Trigun Stampede Trailer
- Thread starter Dale Copper
- Start date
Yeah I am aware. If they want to make this instead of a proper adaption, that's fine and I might even watch it.
Well now I'm fucking torn.
When this was announced I was mostly worried about the animation. Like, I figured it'd be a fairly faithful adaptation but a visual letdown. Because for all the people saying Beastars is some high watermark of CGI anime, it's still choppy, stilted, and kind of shit.
However, this... this looks really good. Probably the best I've seen for a show. The problem is they've completely redesigned an iconic and influential character for no reason and aren't actually giving us Trigun. Vash is cool, don't get me wrong, but if this is a prequel then we're not going to be getting Millie, Meryl, or Wolfwood. They're a big part of what made Trigun so great, and a show about Vash and Knives just doesn't sound like something that's going to be anywhere near as entertaining.
Like, I'll watch it, but damn I'm disappointed.

I'm down for a prequel. I always thought the flashback episodes were the best ones in Trigun. I'm all for the space ship and seeing the build up to July.
Not a fan of CG except for Dorohedoro but this looks legit.
Also low key glad we're getting a new VA cast. JYB was cool when I was a kid watching Trigun on Adult Swim but he's been in everything over the last 20 years and with his limited range, I tend to avoid any dubs that he plays the main in now.

I'm digging the art style. I hope this adaptations is closer to the original source material. There were numerous characters that were cutout since I believe Nightow was still working on the manga when it came out.
if you judge anime on still shots like this then every CGI anime is gonna look like crapRose tinted goggles for sure. I remember the movie being more consistent but its been a while.
In concept maybe.... the art was all over the place too. It certainly wasn't on the same level as Cowboy Bebop was at the time.
anyway, torn on this new thing. the CGI looks fine but I hate the insane camera work that permeates CGI anime . New Vash looks like a dork and if you defend the change of an iconic redesign with the awful "that iconic design was cool back then but not now!" I'm just gonna disregard your opinion entirely. I'd hate to see how you wierdos would do to iconic stuff like the spider-man costume
that said, if this is a prequel and we get to see Vash get his iconic look then I'm more than fine with it. I always found it weird that anime characters pick one hairstyle and just stick with that for the rest of their life
hopefully the cast change is japanese only and we get Johnny Yong Bosch back as Vash in the dub
In the case of Vash, it actually made sense because Rem gave him that hairstyle. But yeah, I generally agree with your point.
I'll never understand people who think redesigns are necessary to keep up with the times (assuming there is no bigotry involved). It's a freaking anime. People aren't expecting anime characters to mimic real life. People have no problem with the goofiness of original characters.
As for people in this thread who think that because it's a prequel he'll go back to his original hair? It's very possible, but there is no indication that it would happen. They changed up his hairstyle as a kid, so it's quite clear they wanted a redesign.
It was the first thing shown in the clip someone linked. I didn't go looking for it.
Really don't know what you mean because CG shows often look better in stills lol
I prefer OG Vash, I'm also torn up about the gun design.
Guess I'll have to rewatch the original though!

Trigun is literally the only anime I've ever liked so I'll check this out although not feeling the new design that much.
I dunno about that. The manga went in weird directions with some characters, but I like how much more it explained things. The anime seemed like it was truncated towards the end and could've used more eps
I like the animation in this, but i'm not feeling Vash's design at all. It looks waay to simple and not...dirty/gritty enough. Is this suppose to take place in the past? As in between the period of him and Knives crash landing and when the old anime takes place? I could see that being the only reason for Vash not looking as torn up
You should try more anime. If you lived Trigun you'd probably like Rurouni Kenshin
That's interesting, have you like actually made an attempt to watch a bunch of stuff, or is it just you watched a few back in the day and Trigun's the only one that stuck with you?
Kind of both, I tried some other things back when this came out years ago but nothing else was interesting enough to keep me engaged. I've since tried some other things but I'll admit not a ton but again nothing much kept me engaged. Actually I take that back now that I think about it, I liked Hellsing, I completely forgot about it, so I guess I lied when I said literally lol. I really wanted to get into One Piece but I only made it about 20 episodes before I stopped caring. I'm always down for recommendations though!
I'll check both of these out, thanks!
Dorohedoro is great, but anyone who already had a mindblock for CG anime is going to be even less interested in it.
I was here for it after hearing how good the studio did for other stuff in CG...
I do not like how it looks in CG, I'm out. Also no JYB seals it

Probably not, new streaming shows have the cultural footprint of The Book Of Boba Fett
I guess we'll have to wait longer to see Elendira The Crimson Nail, sigh.

I love the look of this. Keep at it Orange!
Think I am going to start checking out Trigun then. Looks like the original series is on hulu too.
Looks like a goofball here lol.

Is this going to be a full length TV series? Trailer makes it feel like a movie or OAV? Like that it'll just be about Vash and Knives and won't have Wolfgang or the badguy squad (which would make sense if this does end up being a prequel). But if it's a prequel it also feels like a movie or OAV would make more sense than a full length TV show to tell that story.
I'm always open for new interpretations and reinventions for any old IP, and I'm digging Vash's redesign. In general, I'm going in with this adaptation with open arms and no expectations, and will appreciate what it does right (and what it doesn't).
And it's not like the original anime or manga are going to be erased from existence when this show debuts. So if this mini-series is a turkey, then it's no harm, no foul.
