| That was crazy, 1st part with the bombs was already tense but Knives destruction and apocalyptic attack was stunning in terms of visuals and impact, I'm genuinely impressed by the direction this episode had and how strong it's already starting for a beginning episode, can't wait to see more of it |
 |
| good god......well Vash what are you going to do about it? |
 |
| God damn, that was Brutal!! WTF was that, Knives using God Mode... how you gonna defeat that? |
 |
| Man that got dark real fast. I can't wait to see next week's episode |

Davykuro said: Hmmm, then you may be waiting for nothing. It's pretty clear this whole things is a complete retelling. July still existing is a clear example of that.I dont like it.... This remade seems so different than the manga and it kinda disturb me. But... July is still mention and so I understand it is a prequel that was non writing in the first chapters of the manga (only mention). So I'm still waiting to how Orange will adapt Trigun and Trigun Maximum. July OG events may happen in this retelling, which, judging by this episode, could be actually an epic thing to witness. On another note for all you guys : I know this whole thing about "3 episodes in and way better than OG" is a community retalation against people not liking the retelling and being specially closed-minded, but come on guys, OG Trigun is still quite a classic. I do hope for the retelling to be objectively better, but still some of you guys take too big of a shortcut by downsizing OG Trigun impact ; it's still ranking quite high for a 25 years old anime (at least I hope this suffice as an explanation to avoid my obvious fanbase bias). Preferring one or the other is mostly a question of taste at this current point of time ; the overall feeling and "ambiance" is quite different between both shows until now. |

| I wasn't a big fan of the random changes in eps 1 and 2 but this was pretty fucking cool. Hopefully they can keep it up |
| The episode was more thrilling compared with the first 2. I think this Knives is more a psychopath than he was in the original. But the visuals are more likable and the soundtrack is amazing. |
| Takes the darker direction of the Trigun Maximum manga. So far, I'd say it's a pretty good version of Trigun for veteran fans to sink their teeth into. |
 |
| I don't really understand what happened in this episode. |
 |
| Ah yes, everyone dead again. While Vash remains mostly useless since he can't do shit to save people besides the 2 reporters that somehow escaped. Tho I think they did this on purpose for this reboot. They made Knives even more psycho and powerful while making Vash look stupid AF and mostly pointless as he just jokes around 50% of the time. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| This episode was so fucking good and dark. I loved it so much. Vash doesn't deserve all this hate because of his brother. His brother is so evil. And, that town's gone. So many people lost their lives. That OST was so fucking beautiful and menacing. And, that direction was to die for. Incredible job, Orange. |
 |
| I binged the first three episodes, and truthfully, I'm speechless, and not in the best of ways :D Back and forth amd back and forth and back and forth again and again just to in the end lose it ALL! |

| God this show looks so good, they are moving forward with the plot because they don't have a lot of episode to go for, anyway, very good so far, the problem for me once again is Vash, his characterization seems very weird here. |
| The stakes really ramped up this episode. |
| I wasn't expecting this episode to be this intense, but I'm loving it so far. The CGI and visual effects when Knives appeared made it feel like I was watching a movie. |
 |
It isn't totally bad, but, lacked courage to kill secondarys... |
| This was absolutely awesome. One of the single best anime episodes I've seen in a while. Honestly I think I'm enjoying this new adapatation more than the original one so far. |
 |
| Visually it was excellent, the best looking episode so far. Knives city destroying attack was a visual feast, and I assume he was giving this new power to better take advantage of the 3D space CGI allows, it makes his appearance here feel like a devastating spectacle. At least, I assume this power is new, seems to be from what I grasp from comments in this thread as I haven't read the manga, and I think I'd remember this it if was in the original anime. Though I totally forgot about E.G. Bomber/Mine, literally have zero recollection of him ever appearing in the original, but a decade will do that to your memory. Outside of the animation though, I'm not sure I really liked this. For starters, I had my reservations about Stampede focusing more directly on Vash & Knives plot thread because Knives is one of my least favourite aspects of Trigun. He's a necessary foil for Vash, but as a character himself he's not compelling in the slightest. There was, and still is tbf, a chance for this series to fix that, but all signs point to him still being a rather bland stock villain. It wasn't a big issue in the original since his involvement was a lot more limited, in terms of screentime anyway, that he could serve his purpose without detracting much from my enjoyment. But if he's going to be more a more prominent figure like this, I think it will hinder my enjoyment. And I kinda just feel like this all escalated too fast. Arguably the original series took too long to escalate, but since it did when shit hit the fan it was way more effective because the show had firmly established it's mostly light-hearted goofy nature. Here doesn't really feel like the series developed a strong identity to contrast this escalation. It felt too rushed, and not really earned, for how high stakes everything became. That's not to say their aren't good stuff here, Rosa's send off didn't emotionally connect with me at all but I like the scene with Vash & Meryl afterwards. And their defeat of E.G. Bomber/Mine was fun. Also, I thought the OST here was quite effective at highlighting the mood of each sequence, whether it be Knives ascending the stairs or Vash releasing those bugs, it enhanced both sequences for me. I do think it lacks the distinct flavour Imahori's OST gave the original series, the music in this one does feel a bit more generic, but I'm glad Stampede still has solid music. Not sure any of it will stick with me after finishing the series, but it's definitely working within the show. |
| that ost went so hard omg and when knives did the crazy thing with all the blades? jgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg |

| Damn, Million Knives lives up to his name. Tough to be Vash who's being mistaken for this horrible person. This dub is great. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| So I've only just started this anime today and I've got to say I love the music direction and the animation. It's hard to believe it's from the same studio that did that terrible Godzilla anime a couple of years ago. |
| I take your silence as complict agreement with genocide! |
 |
| Mate, how is it episode 3 and my heart already hurts?! I just wanna give Vash a hug… I can’t imagine the pain and sadness he’s faced in his life. Knives is fucking terrifying! He destroyed that whole place in minutes and didn’t even break a sweat π± The soundtrack for this show is amazing! That is a Hollywood level score and the opening… what a tune. NEVER SKIPPING! |
 |
| This sure turned into a tragic situation real quick but I still got to say its quite sad (just like the original) how the townspeople (or at least Rosa) put all the blame on Vash despite him trying to save the city multiple times, him being hunted because of the bounty and them just outright ignoring his warning to get away. |
 |
| Well then. That really went to shit. Kinda makes me feel like what was the point of those 5 minute goofy ass villains showing up if this is where we are gonna be after three episodes. Well I'm kinda interested so lets see where this goes. |
