I'll be honest, if I pretend Trigun doesnt exist I don't think stands on its own at all. They intended to do a prequel/reboot at the same time and it just feels rushed the whole way through. A lot of the moments the characters had in the original anime to grow on you and each other are missing, so it doesnt make sense to me at least how much Meryl, and especially Wolfwood like Vash. Wolfgang just gets put in terrible situations following Vash around, and when he tries to respond with lethal force Vash just complains about how he should be more of a ... priest and treat life as sacred.

If they just wanted a prequel or reboot it wouldve done much better imo. They could've had some stories about Vash flailing through a couple of situations, saving the day and adding to his bounty and legend until that fateful incident, and maybe a cameo from the fan-favorites and a 'here's what they were doing around this time'. Ultimately they created a terrible writing situation trying to cram everything they could into 12 episodes and leaving behind a lot of the stuff that made the original anime such a classic. Trigun is by no means perfect, but what it did well this reboot lacks, and instead offers little in return other than nostalgia. Get ready to watch an average show with some characters you used to know.
