| I had high hopes for this series and... I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED! The finale was wonderful and there also will be a 2nd season?! COUNT ME IN!  |

DoctorWasabi said: I'm still liking the original anime more, does that make me a bad person ?Imagine still thinking Stampede is not better than the original Trigun, big yikes lol But damn what a good episode. In terms of "bring Knives down" arc, must say Stampede did it better. Would have loved more Legato and putting Vash in moral conandrum, but maybe for S2 ? I knew that still-intact July was foreshadowing something, and glad to see Eriks/Lina combo back. I guess they are going for something completely new for S2, like OG earth people coming back ? Excited to see what's next. |
| Amazing animation but horrible story, was a nice tentative to revive Trigun with a remake but... Why not create a sequel to the first anime or a real adaptation to TV ? Why create such marvel anime ? They lost a nice chance and created a "ok" series carried most by the animation than others variables. Was a Ok 6/10 anime. |
| Great finale, but it's still a 7/10 for me because of how rushed the pacing was during most of the season. It really needed to slow down. Even just one more episode could've helped. The side characters were pretty useless most of the time? It was really only in this episode that Meryl did something significant. Only other time she was useful was when he pulled on that lever in episode 7? 8? when the ship was gonna crash. I guess Roberto was useful as being a mentor to Meryl. Wolfwood had the most character growth I guess, even though we didn't see what he was up to in the epilogue. Some of the episodes prior to episode 7 were pretty weak too. Had a hard time caring about what was going on most of the time. As for the other baddies, I hope they have more of a role in season two. Especially Livio. The others came off as being so one-dimensional because they had so little screen time. I also really felt nothing for Vash and Knives relationship. I get that Knives hatred of humans came from trauma when he was a "child" but he was still a cringey psychopath to me. I guess he's not 100% dead though? Also, because we only got snippets of their time together before Knives made the ship crash, I just...didn't care about their "brotherly love"? I felt no sad feelings when Knives "died" and Vash got all sad. I guess I'm saying their relationship came off as shallow, but that's just me. As an anime only who never watched the original tv anime or has read the manga, I think Stampede had lots of potential, and overall wasn't bad, but I can't say it was great because of all the critiques I just said. So I hope Season 2 can have slower pacing? maybe? Wonder how long we'll have to wait, unless the second season has already been in production. Studio Orange's next big project is the final season of Beastars, but that's not out until next year, so idk if they can balance working on two big shows. I'd imagine CG animation is a bigger workload than 2D animation. A lot of haters ragged on the CG animation for this, but to me it was the best CG animation I've seen in a TV anime so far because of how action heavy Stampede was. SO yeah, don't think Stampede deserves the hate it's got, but I also don't think it's as good as some others are making it out to be. |

| I think what I find funny about this anime is it really does feel like I am watching Trigun but in an alternate universe where all major events still happen, but they occur a bit differently, and in a different order. Like it's faithful to the original, and yet not, at the same time. I really like it though and I am happy to hear a second season is in the works already. Looking forward to it. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Shoutout to Knives’s VA. The man was acting his soul out. |
| What a masterpiece of a final chapter. |
 |
| Best thing about the final episode was not hearing the OP. I don't even know what the hell was all that... Just a half hour of Vash and Knives flying around using one wing while grunting. It looked pretty I guess, but I felt nothing seeing Vash blast his brother away. |

| I hope that there won't be a continuation of this. Especially given how many good shows never get a second season. The CG was bad. It lacked the charm of the original but I think it was intentional for it to have a very different feel to it. I did like Vash's history though, that was the only good thing about this show. |
| knives burning up scene was well done, vash's hair looked like OG vash's hair but more similar to shidou ryuusei who just got introduced in blue lock lol. milly thompson is finally on the way! this season was just fine, nothing crazy. the animation was inconsistent, choppy at times but in closeups or slow-motion scenes it was quite fluid. 6/10 for me, expecting the next season to be better. |

deg said: btw here is your spiky hair so the haters has no more complains lol i was right in the beginning of the anime that i said Vash will have a spiky hair again by the end of the anime but ye his hair is down again in the end but there is a sequel anyway  If you watched the og or read the manga, ||basically when they find Vash again in his hobo state they will give him a haircut back to the spiky cut|| |
| Wow, I'll be damned, this was such a roller coaster ride, everything was so smooth! It was worth watching up until this point, despite that there were ups and downs with the story like Rollo for example. |

| MILLY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR 12 EPISODES!!! |
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I’m feeling sentimental Without you, my room is empty I’m feeling sentimental Feels like yesterday you were laying Only a few centimeters away from me" |
| Episode 12 was Beautifully Animated, choreographed and directed. Movie level even. Kudos to Studio Orange for that. I still can't believe there are folks who "hate" this version because of the CGI when it's one of the strongest selling points of Stampede. I enjoyed the original Trigun but the ending was a mess. It was more style over substance. This version has a more cohesive story, higher stakes, the character's back stories are all given even my favorite Nicholas! Milly joining soon, now we know why Vash has a HUGE Bounty on him. Sad to say Nai was right, humans will just use all the Plant till none are left. And Vash was blamed, plus now has to live his life on the run. Sad. Can't wait to see more. They really did a good job with this. |
 |
| Happy I gave this version of Trigun a chance. It was thoroughly enjoyable. |

Only because you didn't like it everyone else must think the same way? edit: I hope it didn't sound too aggressive, I respect this point of view :D I mean get your points but OG had his own qualities and at this point they are 2 completely different shows. Still I'm overall happy that the Trigun franchise had this Renaissance phase. I don't think that's what DW meant. I read it as anyone still thinking Stampede isn't as good as the original is missing out. |
| Till the end I still feel like this show was so under watched. The CGI was great, the characters were really expressive, and like this episode showed the action was creative and fluid. The OST was also a standout for me, really beautiful. I'm glad this is getting a sequel, it totally deserves it. This finale was incredible |
| I spent way to much time hating this anime. I was not going to watch it. I hated the CG and that it was not an adaption of maximum but this was handled with such care. It is anime of the season and a contender for AOTY. What an epic finale for a franchise that has zero misses. |
| I'm still speechless about how awesome this last episode was. I dreamed about the day they would finally use the Dark Shift Phenomenon in the anime AND HERE WE ARE!! For those who don't know, the Dark Shift Phenomenon was planed to be used in the Planet Gunsmoke videogame, but after it was cancelled, the idea ended up becoming just a variant color for the series action figures. Later Nightow decided to introduce it at the end of TriMax during the final fight against Legato. Basically Vash is able to use it when he goes full apeshit with his powers. You know, It's really interesting how Stampede is the culmination of years of work on Trigun condensed into a more coherent story. Yeah, we have some flaws here and there, but now things are more planned out. Stuff that were thought up during the last volumes of Maximum are now hinted and used way earlier because it makes more sense storywise. This is really cool, Trigun Stampede is a project made with passion. .  |
 |
| Did anyone else catch that "cameo" by Nightow in the form of a wanted poster? It's cut off, but the full bounty title is probably something like "Nightow the Comix Artist" |
 |
| I haven't watched the original Trigun yet. But for me this one is fine. The CGI animation, I've gotten use to it. It's not bad, especially on this episode. 6/10 for this anime. |
 |
| This anime was taken as a blasphemy by the community, but instead it's a small masterpiece. Ppl should have the courage to watch it without thinking about the old anime, this is much more, this one explain Nai and Vash, their past and their nature. At the end Vash takes his spikes hair too, I mean for the fan was a huge problem, but not anymore. |
| Last fight against Nai was visually incredible, and damn the entire July city has been destroyed and Vash seems to have vanished now, we still have Meryl that will have to take care of Milly next (finally she's appearing) I can't wait to see how the anime will do in the next season, I wasn't really a fan of the original anime but here I got sold mainly thanks to the incredible CGI animation, it carried a lot to me. |

itsmepee said: Last week I was wondering how will they end this, and they pull this off… Overall I still feel like this anime could be better but this episode is better than I expected. Good job I gave it a solid 8/10. The oroginal still holds a place in my heart, I think because it was longer and so we grew to know the characters better. |
| That was a climactic ending. I can't think of any comeback as a sequel. Eriks? Looks like a memory-lost type of plot is incoming. It felt nostalgic to hear Milly's name spoken again but man, never have I thought I'd get attached to Roberto as much as I have. |
| amazing, by far my favourite episode of the season. had sadly never heard of tirgun before stampede but it got me reading the manga and 98 anime and can now say I'm a diehard fan. happy to see vash back with his iconic hair. got my fingers crossed for a second season |
| probably will write my first review on this show but my GOD the camera work and animation this episode was insane!!!! all of the scenes done in one shot with the dynamic camera were so cool to watch, i would love to see storyboards for this episode!! and i can't believe they modeled so much of the city! show is a 9.5/10 for me but since I can't give half points on here, I'll round it up to 10 for the visuals and personal enjoyment. next season is going to be one for the books! |
