Full spoiler warnings are in effect here. If you haven't seen the original Trigun, you'll want to watch that first. Trigun Stampede... well, I would say don't watch it at all.
This week we start our coverage of the writing and other elements of a TV show called "Trigun Stampede." It's a recent re-imagining of one of the classics of 1990s Japanese animation, as the original Trigun animation was released in 1998 and ran for 26 episodes.
It was one of the early series that gained quite a bit of popularity in the West, as well, before anime gained widespread acceptance.
The original series is a masterpiece. It has a sweeping, fascinating story with fun and interesting characters. It draws you in gently, with comedy, and when you're hooked, it begins to turn serious, but holds on to a little bit of that comedy nearly all the way to the end. Yet, at the same time, it manages to do amazing things with its characters and their ways of thought.
Trigun Stampede systematically and maliciously violates and kills every aspect of the original. And we're here to document every vile step.
