This is a series I wouldn't recommend unless you're searching for ecchi manga with little serious plot. The art is pretty generic and the concept is silly to put it nicely. If I were to be serious, that's not really how anything would actually work, and this almost feels sexist with just how the creator perceives these things happening? It's a suggestive manga of course, so it's not that deep, but it felt weird and kinda dumb. The humor is definitely subjective, I personally feel like it's something a teen boy would think is funny, but also I wouldn't really want them reading something like

that. I can't really say I enjoyed what I read. The plot does change, but not to anything worthwhile, the art also changes.

Suzume is a movie that primarily focuses on it's visuals and sound. It looks great, but the movie was telling me how to feel, yet I never actually felt it. Pretty much no character has any real depth, I think I almost cared about two side characters, the main "romance" is forced and feels odd with the student and guy who wants to be a teacher age gap. The cast feels strange, too, almost like the main character was going to be older, but is for some reason a teenage girl surrounded by mostly adults. Things arent explained, not even in an acceptable soft world
...
building way, and I never felt anything emotionally, either. I never cared for anything going on in the film, but even halfway, my mood dipped into annoyance. It's a movie that looks like it should be good, but is not moving at all, which is disappointing for a film apparently about peoples relationships, and honestly, the end message didnt quite seem clear, music in moments almost told me how the scene was supposed to be interpreted (like jazz for a high action chase scene), but then in the end I almost felt confused. I wouldn't recommend this movie. If you only like visuals and don't want to think at all, it's fine, but otherwise, it's not moving at all.

Trigun Stampede is a reboot to the series that feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be. The characters act in a slightly new way, but are apparently acting in a "prequel" (lacking character development) way based off the original manga, BUT the reboot's entire story (mashed into the 12 eps) is taken from the original 16 volumes of manga, which naturally should not fit, and it doesnt. this season ends the way the manga did, but is implied to show more, which doesnt make sense.
The plot is all over the place, following points in the manga, but mostly without it's original purpose,
...
many things happen for almost no reason and are never mentioned again, and even characters dont have much of a point in the show. The pacing goes back and forth and feels jarring. It's start isnt bad, but after a bit you dont know why things are going the way it is, and it doesnt seem like the characters fully know, either, just that the plot demands it.
Characters themselves feel like theyve been extremely reduced down to certain traits, and you cant even see much of their personality for it to work. Their designs as well feel impractical and less iconic, being too normal in their universe while not fitting in at the same time. Characters like wolfwood, meryl, and legato, have generic anime cliche looks, which is a downgrade. The world also feels empty, like the studio ran out of assets to show background characters, which should emphasize vash's apparent goal to protect, a central theme of the series.
Watching as it aired, i kept hoping it'd go somewhere, but it felt increasingly clear its just trying to fit the hundreds (thousands?) of pages into a little over 10 eps. The season all together feels like bullet points of a different work, like it skipped all the little details and couldnt even understand the theme to rewrite it in a new delivery.
The only good things i'd mention are the animation, voice acting, and maybe music (I dont usually pay that much attention to that, but I didnt notice it being bad)
it disappointed me and even felt laughably bad at times. i remember laughing at a point in the finale that was obviously intended to be dramatic. I felt annoyed, bored, confused, and more negative emotions. I didnt feel anything i felt from trigun 98 or even the manga which i read later and strongly got attached to. It's not even bad that its different, but because it couldnt decide it wanted to fully be. It's like fans of the original came up with a fan project where they didnt fully understand the original work. I'm mentioning a lot of comparisons, but I wouldnt be saying any of this if stampede was an actual new piece of the series with new ideas. All it had to do was keep a vibe of love and peace, but stampede cant even give a compelling reason to beyond not wanting to side with our antagonist murdering everyone, I often felt like i didnt want vash to like the humans just because of how the show portrayed their behavior to him.
I don't even think I can say I had too high of expectations based off the 90s anime or the original source, but the new one just feels like a lot of nothing... I cant even imagine what entirely new fans would get from it beyond an introduction to the rest of the franchise. I'm not sure why anything went the way it did. It's a reboot, prequel, sequel, whatever, and frankly, they could have just made a TriMax adaptation instead OR done an actual new story. I would not recommend this, I considered dropping it halfway through, and I would not watch season 2. Read the manga instead lol
