Kinda disappointed

Just finished watching Trigun and tbh, I expected more. My expectations were like a solid 8 or 9/10, since I have heard good things about it, but for me it was an OK experience. Funny thing is that I watched first the new alternative version, Trigun Stampede, and I enjoyed it way more. The story was more polished, the characters had more importance, the message was really solid. Since I enjoyed this version I thought the OG would better, but no. The story was a total mess for this one. A lot of not important characters thrown in, the animation was a bit meh, considering it was produced by the goat Madhouse. Moments didn't have any impact to me. I don't know. I would like to know your opinions cause I am genuinely curious. Rarely happens that I enjoy a new alternative version more than the original source.

I am less disappointed than Cowboy Bebop. Exactly same happened to me regarding Cowboy Bebop. Try out Trigun Stampade. That's even better.

You do you, but for me, I really enjoyed the original, it had a good mixture of goofy and serious moments and really good payoff to a good buildup, and the later half was anime original in fact, which I personally liked more

Now the new one on the other hand, well it had no build up to speak of, everything is revealed so quick you don't feel like there's anything to look forward, there's no mystery to it, like even when I look at without thinking about the original, it sucks, and it sucks even more when I compare it to the original especially when it comes to vash, he feels like a generic flat MC, even his no kill code feels jarring, and it lures you into falls sense of security with the first two episodes and then does a complete 180 out of nowhere

I don't mind them making a completely different adaptation, but the way they did it, was not right

i agree. watched it for the first time about a year ago and the only thing i liked is the art style. 6/10 for me. haven't watched stampede because of its awful animation along with the already poor story. nostalgia carries it for many. same with bebop.

How I describe Trigun is it gets better and better the further it goes on. The original Trigun is segmented into three parts. Comedy (Shonen), Action (Battle Shonen), and Drama (Seinen). The transition to each pat is not done well at all, very messy. In fact the first part is the worst, thus I had a hard time getting into the show a decade ago but by the end I did appreciate the ride.

I liked the animation. Even though it's 3D, that it's known for not quite good of a reputation, it was quite enjoyable. Studio Orange is really good at it. Even though thanks for your opinion

@TheRealRouges Still not as worse as hating trigun

Biisoo said:
You should read the manga, then you'll be even more disappointed because it's the best version of the story and none of the anime even come close to it.

UltimateKai said:
They’re two different types of stories but original trigun has the charm of an old western with buddies with some sci fi and stampede is a sci fi mystery with some western themes in it. Both great shows and have unique flavours. The story is super coherent just pay attention.

I totally get you. I also watched Stampede first and went to the 1998 one thinking it would be better based on what I heard, but I also found it kind of disappointing Don't get me wrong though. I still enjoyed some aspects of it, some moments more than Stampede, but they were very specific, Overall still found it meh. I also disliked that "Fight" between Vash and Knives by the end. So then I went to the manga, and oh boy how good it was. Both Anime pale in comparison to the Manga imo. And after seeing everything Trigun related I realize how both Anime have their good and bad parts. At the end of Stampede when we see how the show seems to be a ReImagine-Prequel type of story, plus the little Sneak Pick at the end. For S2 I have this feeling we will see Manga-Vash in his truest Adaptation maybe even more than '98 Vash. I have Hope, I need Manga Vash on my Screen.

In summary, I agree on '98 being kind of disappointing for me too. But I understand where some Stamped critics come from. So basically... Everyone, Go Read the Manga, is Far Superior 😂

Another person with a short attention span that can’t appreciate a slow burn. What else is new these days?

I watched the original a few years ago, and didn't find it enjoyable until the last few episodes. Even now, I don't remember much of what happened. Then, when Stampede came out, I thought it might be good to check it out and see if I enjoy it more... I enjoyed Stampede SO MUCH more.

I thought the new one was ok.. didn't really care for how anti violence cash was.. I mean in the original he didn't want to kill people either but he also didn't wuss out of a fight. I missed all the expert gunman action from the original.

I didn't expect that as I I really enjoyed trigun. couldn't sit through Trigun stampede though, especially Because Milly wasn't there

I am total opposite. I first saw this ver And I dont like the new much(i dont like 3D). It Is that the first 4 eps Are not in manga. I think that the old ver is better because it takes longer to show you all the backstory. In the new it Is at the benininging. The characters are well written I think. Mabye the Gung ho guns should have more time. But still it was good. This Is my opinion. For me 1998 is 10/10. But I underestand it Is not for everyone.
