Don't remember if I ever left a comment before but here I go. Been following since the Stampede reviews and your perspectives have been so enriching to my own interpretation of Trigun and all it's versions.
You know, the other day I realized that what I think Stampede and Stargaze is hugely lacking is… humans. Humans other than the main cast. Where's the trucker lady that picked Milly and Meryl on the road? That old man that patronized Vash about his marksmanship, the couple of dudes that Vash and Wolfwood shared a drink with before departing to the last battle. Lina and Sheryl and the nurse and doctor and the guy Wolfwood dumped Tabasco sauce on lol. How can we know how the song of humanity sounds like if we don't meet them?
It's truly so sad how Stargaze was clearly chopped down and glued together in a rush. I don't agree with Orange and Nightow in many important things, but I trust they could've made a great, different story to Trimax if only the production have been smooth. But hey, as you say, I also found Trigun trough Stampede and if I find a place in my heart to like Badlands Rumble lol, then I can appreciate Stampgaze for what it did for the fandom as well.
Sorry for the long comment lol I got carried away 😂 Stay safe and keep being awesome 🤞✨
You should do the original 98 anime. Sure there’s a lot missing in it because frankly it hadn’t been wrote yet. But Vash is much more Vash than he is in stargaze. I went into stampede knowing how different it was I’d seen the 98 anime, read the original 3 volumes of the manga, even wrote cringey fanfiction (none of which is still around today thank god because it was bad) but I saw Stampede and saw yes this is really different but it was still Trigun.
Ps for my homework if you can’t get the 98 anime I got it on DVD boxset can figure out a very inconvenient way to get it to you
I find that there are not many stakes in stargaze, almost all the characters are surface level, it feels empty
Vash’s pacifism feel so wrong that it make me genuinely angry , so much that i wished Knives would wiped out number 3 and killed everybody
, and i’m so disapointed about Knives lack of reaction about the sacrifice of his sisters …
And « Stop telling start showing ! ». ( sorry english isn’t my native langage)
Something I find interesting: This version of Legato seems the most unstable compared to the other two. Hear me out: The other two versions are quite good at restraining themselves when the situation calls for it. Even Maximum Legato asks for permission to torture Vash, putting aside the scene in volume 2. This version though? It seems like he genuinely can't stop himself from doing it, to the point there needs to be physical intervention. Anyway, just something interesting I noticed. Great reaction as per usual!
It's just…it hits some of the same beats as the manga but without the emotional/thematic core. I'm not sure Stargaze knows exactly what it's trying to say. I get that they didn't have the time to let the story breathe, but I can't help but wonder if they should've just done something fully new (at least plot-wise) instead of trying to cover all 14 volumes. Ah, well. At least the art is pretty. Love your analysis!
Yeah. They took some Manga Visual but they don't work.
Ngl, I'm kinda just HopeWatching, by which I mean, watching expecting them to surprise me, but it haven't happen. I don't Hate Stargaze, is worst I'm indifferent to it, not even Disappointed.
Idk how Stampede with how different it was, was way better than Stargaze somehow, and they are suppouse to be the same thing… I guess it is the fact they changed the whole crew.
The '98 Trigun anime came along at a time in my life when I really needed Vash's philosophy. I daresay Vash and the main character in another show, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, saved me with their outlooks on life. My love for Trigun and Vash runs deep. Someday I hope to be able to put it out there for others to see like you do.
While I am enjoying Stampede/Stargaze for what it is, I'll toss in my cents with those that feel like it deserved and needed more episodes than what it was given. It's like… Imagine if Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was only given a third or even less of what it was given to tell its story. Instead of the sixty some episodes, it'd have to compress all of that – story, character development, pacing… – into under 20 episodes. It'd very likely still be at minimum quite decent, but "it could have been so much better". Stampede/Stargaze have been giving me that kind of impression: Sure, I'm enjoying it. I'm loving the throwbacks, the animation style (As an aspiring 3D artist myself!), its own unique takes on things over the previous material(s), and so on. But it could have been so much better too, if it had just been given more breathing room episode-wise.
Also on 'its own unique takes' – for a brief moment I thought Legato might have actually been entertaining the idea of taking Vash's powers for himself there, with how into it he seemed to be :O
@ Knives reaction / lack thereof to Plants being used to restore himself… I get the impression that inside he might have conflicted feelings but the idea that "Well, it benefited ME" outweighed any other feelings he may have had. At least in Stampede/Stargaze, that sort of 'It's All About Me' seems to be a significant part of his mentality and he'll justify or overlook any number of things that he'd condemn others for as long as its benefiting him personally or furthering his own goals.
