Bad Lads' uniforms were really flashy, lol.

Livio is gone. For now, at least. I'm worried they might awaken his fully brainwashed side we could see in the reflection for a brief moment.

Energy plant can take humanoid-like form and Vash... apparently, due to being able to have similar symbols on his body like the energy plant itself, Vash is somehow related to them.

Scenes with stopping the sandstreamer and Vash communicating with the energy plant looked gorgeous.

Never seen the old anime or read the manga, but from episode 5 on, it’s been banger after banger! This started slow for me, but it just gets better after each episode holy cow

RIP Livio. At least he chose to do the right thing imo. And, I'm glad that they were able to stop the ship before hitting the coasts. Vash at the end tho.

That ship was literally inches away from collision thanks to Wolfwood and Vash. The two of them also changed the direction of the beam cannon that was pointed at the town. It seems that Vash can communicate with whatever that is inside the plant.

It was okay, don't really have too much to comment on. I will say Legato is a lot more emotive than I remember him being from the original anime, a cursory glance at his fandom wiki page tells me I'm not misremembering and this was just a change the anime made to his character from the manga. So far at least, I think the original anime's version of Legato was far superior, right now I don't really care for this version of Legato. On the flipside, and I can't believe I haven't mentioned this before, I prefer this version of Meryl to the one in the original. Meryl in the first anime, from memory, was mostly just a 90's tsundere, who I often found annoying. So much so that I consider her to be the worst part of the show. But the tsundere bit is pretty much nonexistent here, and I really like her sticking around here & her motivations stemming from the Tonis incident.

I do not condone ANYTHING Knives has done but… it looks like he might have a damn good reason for what he’s doing.

The plants are alive and that’s what he and Vash are… and it looks like the humans have used them as energy sources. That would make anyone lose themselves to something evil

Well, as a huge DB fan i can tell you that the first set of poses was literally all the Ginyu Force poses and not just inspired or something.
But the Ginyu Force is a Sentai reference as its own, so both is true.

Episode 7 is a heart-wrenching one. Particularly loved the reveal of Vash as a plant himself, even though I have already been spoiled of that. The moment between him and the plant in the plant room is very emotional and reflects his relationship with other plants in general. Loved this episode.

Another great episode. Sorry for the purist fans who can't appreciate this anime because it's not the same. Maybe one day they'll learn the difference between reboot and remake.

4/5


THANK YOU. It’s so annoying seeing all the whiners saying it’s not good because it differs from the original. It can be different from the original and still be good.

Was cautious of this rendition on the first episode but honestly this show is starting to build into a super cool and gritty modern anime. The animation is super cool and the story is honestly probably even a step up from the original.

I didn't love how the plot opens so widely so quickly which is in stark contrast to the original anime, but I can really appreciate the new characters as well as the new takes on old favorites. Great anime can't wait for season 2 and the future of this studio

@sarybelle My issue with the difference is the blatant giveaways to Vash's character. Also in the original Meryl's partner is so cute and offers a bit of luck, wit, and comedy. Roberto de Niro is cool and all, but he's just a crusty old man. "The blatant giveaways" It was cool in the original that people impersonated Vash. This reboot of the series tries to rewrite what was already in the original and in the manga. This could've been an anime for an addition to the series, but they only used "the pacifist" character trait in an annoying way. Yes it's supposed to frustrate the viewer that Vash vows to not kill, but they went overboard with the way they use it. Trigun is also a FUN and FUNNY anime, but this version skipped all of that for more dull and serious action scenes. It would have been better if Vash's neutral demeanor wasn't always dramatically melancholy. Oh wait, thats what they did that in the ORIGINAL version.

Just letting you know why the "whiners" may whine.
