I really liked this ep, though that's expected since Wolfwood was my favourite in the og series. I'm definitely excited to see the dynamic between Wolfwood and Vash and overall hyped for this series.

I've watched the original and am watching this new series and liking it. I'm really glad to see Meryl being more involved as she's always been my favorite.

Nicholas Wolfwood was nice to meet and that was about it. The entire episode felt so fast that I didn't actually absorb anything, and the bit at the end should've been used as an intro for the next episode.

Never seen the original so this is whole new story to me. This episode was stunning. I love the backdrops and scenery and am really enjoying the series. When this is done and dusted I think I will check out the original. 
May the Uguu be with you.

Kek @ the GIGAworm

Still tho... how are there even people with building/ houses when this worm has been in the desert swallowing up everyone? the desert should be "deserted"

___ ___ ___

Also... did Wolfwood just ate that poor glowing dragonfly alive?... at least cook the thing.

And... I guess part of Wolfwood's cross upgraded from a rocket to a lazer in this reboot huh... looks like they're adjusting the series' tech/ weapons to be more futuristic than before.

RIP GIGAworm, it ded-ded now.

Tho... I noticed the worm... doesn't actually look like a worm... it's more like a Sand-Fish... since it's body isn't really that long, but rather round-like with a long tail (similar length to that of a fish tail to body size)

The action was so pristine. Loved it. Nicholas is cool and his cross is as well. The animation is top-notch as ever.

Knowing that there is an original anime that's already fully out makes me wanna just not wait and watch that instead. What's up with the undertaker guy?

Awesome adaptation, the quality of the animation is so beautiful. Even with the different a story, the essence of the characters is exactly the same. This is the best anime of the season.

You should actually watch the original too

They have VERY different art styles.

A lot of ppls actually prefer the original over this remake.

I've only heard that re: the art style, but content-wise, again, from what I've read here, this adaptation scores more points. I'll maybe watch that, too, we'll see how this one goes :)

this has definitely grown on me the last 2 episodes. i've gotten over the "shock" of the first episode and i think maybe(?) i'm starting to enjoy it for what it is, without comparing it to the original. or maybe Stampede has actually settled in and gotten better and as it's progressed and that's what i'm noticing. not really sure. but there's definitely a nice sort of familiarity/nostalgia going on that certainly helps

and the OP is a banger. that's really enjoyable to listen to, and the lyrics are pretty damn on point for Vash, too

my only complaint is Vash just seems a little... passive? like, i'm not sure i'd even call him the MC of Stampede so far. he seems way more reserved than i recall. a whole lot more quiet/somber/depressed. not neearly as cheery/ jovial/carefree/funny (here i am saying i'm trying not to compare it to the original, but that's exactly what i'm still doing)

bumping my series rating up to a 7/10 (6.5 is probably more accurate)

Best episode so far, and why? Because of Nicholas Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora Wolfwood baby! Wolfwood's always been my favourite character in Trigun, and it seems like that's going to remain true in Stampede.

In a lot of ways, he was a fresh of breath air for the show here. The personality of the main cast have all been toned down in the show so far it seems, with the most obvious example being Vash himself, with several noting in this thread he's a lot more shy/passive this time around, as opposed to the exuberant buffoonery the anime version of the character often could be. There was some shades of that in the very first episode, with Vash laughing maniacally while hung upside down, but it's largely been absent since then. And as such, doesn't seem Meryl has had as much opportunity to highlight her personality, but Wolfwood seemed to change that. More with Meryl than Vash, but the episode felt a lot more fun with the character dynamics than any of the previous three.

I agree that it's probably a bit too fast to just reveal his alliances, but I don't mind it. The episode already was playing with the idea the Wolfwood wasn't really trustworthy, with Roberto calling him out & even Wolfwood telling it to Vash directly, and if Wolfwood's a permanent fixture in their party & this interpretation, they can play with the tension of the audience knowing he's a double agent. Right now I'm inclined to prefer how the original handled it, but Stampede could definitely make this play work.

It really is strange how Meryl and Drunkle just disappeared for swathes of this episode. I get it was Zazie shoving them off but that they just appear after the worm is dead is so jarring and rushed. There's a lot of attention to detail and care that's really being skimped on in this show.

Vash is so passive and inattentive in this series. You can maybe blame that on this being a setup by Zazie but Vash doesn't even help solve the problem, he just whines and decides looking for Meryl where she last was is just not the thing to do.

Leaving the worm was a clumsy thing to do to try and show Vash's and Nicholas' philosophies in contrast, it just made it seem like time was being wasted to push it to 20 minutes.

E o padre bonitão vira um agente funerário. Poxa, antes ele tinha mais veracidade, agora tá só... huh... aquela aparente sensação de cara legal demais para ser verdadeiro. Ao menos a arma dele deu uma turbinada e na minha mais humilde opinião, ficou bem mais estilosa assim mas sei lá, parece que essa versão tá entregando os pontos rápido demais.

Bro what the HECK were those desert wandering NPCs? I get that you don't want to model a whole model for every rando we see, but the 2D drawings need to at least gel. You can't conduct the most gorgeously nuanced illusions of life this season and then put them next to this bargain-bin no-easing ping-pong animation that might actually consist of four frames per cut. Attack on Titan did a better job integrating its 3D beasts among 2D men, yet they recieved death threats over it? We cannot let these people see this episode, for the safety of Orange.

..moving on to higher-tier characters... before the Beast recieved a name reveal, I gave them the placeholder name "Kai," because it sounded like a standard mysterious-character name. For the undertaker, I thought, 'This dude looks like a Guilty Gear fighter' (even before he reveals the cross as a giant weapon and executes a super move to rival Arc System Works' works), and, struggling to think of GG characters' names at the moment, pulled out "Ky Kiske," shortened it to "Ky," and then realized one second later I was overlapping my other idea.

Lol does everyone in this show have stupid ass names like "X the Y"? This was pretty cool tho. But ya I guess cross man is maybe an assassin out to kill Vash but is "gaining their trust first" as the kid said.

I fell like the last scene with Wolfwood and the kid talking did came to fast. We needed at least 3-4 more ep before this big information about Wolfwood revealed. Other than that after 4 ep I can say that I enjoy Roberto and a character like him was needed but I still miss Milly
