I Used a Randomizer to Watch Underrated Anime

[@frequentlyoffline3917]

Yatterman Night is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara who directed the Black Clover anime and the action scenes for the Chainsaw Man anime.

[@Lextorias]

You’re right. I was originally going to mention that, as I had previously talked about Yoshihara in my Chainsaw Man video, but it got cut :/

[@lillith7257]

that is such an odd night and day example you provided.

[@LoopHole101Z]

I'm a little late, but Ryu Nakayama, director of chainsaw man, animated a ton of cuts for this anime too

[@3n3my33]

I think it would have been way cooler if Yatterman Night was about the pitfalls of monarchy or something. Like, even if the original Yattermen were good guys, and decided to rule the land, there's no guarantee their descendants will share their ideals. It's even possible that in order to maintain peace and live up to their ancestors' legacy, the descendants of the Yattermen overdid it with security and surveillance and became a dystopian fascist state or something.

[@Lextorias]

I had something written about your idea that I ultimately cut. Basically, throughout the show they talk a lot about preventing cruelty and injustice. It's basically the motivation for all of the main characters. And doing something like you say, where the villains had that same motivation, and it slowly drove them into a dictatorship, would've tied everything together really well.

[@takanara7]

@@Lextorias I'm sure part of it is that they didn't want to piss off the people who were actually fans of the original by making the legacy of the original heroes that people grew up with into something "bad"

[@Lextorias]

@@takanara7 That is surely a big part of why it was written like that. But if they didn't want to play around with legacy, they shouldn't have made it one of the central themes of the show

The ending feels like they had the idea for this big twist from the start, and despite any actual character or story development during the writing process, they stuck to that original “it was the original big bad guy all along” twist.

I went into it with the mindset that “this is a modern rendition of trigun” that way i could be ok with the changes, like the character design. The animation is beautiful, and even though there were changes i really disliked, (eg milly, and a lot of the “twists” of the og being said in the first ep) i still think it was good

Man I was one of the people who wrote off Trigun Stampede for being CG so I didn't even really look further into it; I feel stupid for doing that now, when you said it was by the same people as Land of the Lustrous (a show that was an exception to the rule of CG anime being bad usually), then said that the original Manga author was involved, then showed the actual animation from the show being great, it was like that Vince McMahon gif of him getting more and more excited till he falls back in his chair.

I wrote it off not only for CG but for being too over the top, like that evil-evil twin in the trailer was such a turn off. Watching this review did not change my opinion, the show is still looking goofy and kinda boring. And if this is GOOD 3D animation, what the bad is then.

[@pracinus]

Since the trailer, I immediately knew people would just be *straight-up, directly negative* to TRIGUN STAMPEDE. However, this is Studio Orange we're talking about. A 3D CGI powerhouse of an anime studio. I gave it a shot since I wanted something new and fresh- and boy did I get it. To be honest, I think this show excels at what it sets out to do- and it hits the mark near perfectly. The visuals, the movement, the emotions, etc., are probably the best that Orange has done, not to mention the insanely talented voice cast. My only complaint was the pacing on early episodes. The finale was borderline bonkers, it was amazing. Adding the fact that Yasuhiro Nightow, the mangaka himself, is praising STAMPEDE alllll the time when an episode airs, lol. It just sucks that plenty of people didn't ever give it a chance, and a lot of people were comparing it with 98' TRIGUN, which, I didn't really care. I don't mean that in a negative tone but I *do* want to watch 98' just to see the differences. Other than that though, I just wish anyone can give this a fair shot. Edit: some of these replies, Christ... can you lot relax? If you hate it that much, okay then, but just lay out more constructive criticisms instead of shitting on it. I did enjoy this show. It's a 3D anime with soul. I get that the story has problems that are present in modern storytelling, and it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'm not sure myself on how the original anime/manga goes, but as far as I can tell, this is a story retold. And as someone who doesn't have time for anime/manga nowadays, this was really good. In my spare time I would probably look over the details they left out of it too. But does it stop me from wanting to watch the 98' anime or read TRIGUN Maximum? Hell no, it doesn't. If TRIGUN STAMPEDE was my entry point in this universe, then so is the 98' anime and Maximum for other people. Man, calm the hell down already.

Honestly, I recommend getting to '98 Anime and the manga.

[@SerifSansSerif]

I wasn't happy but I watched the whole thing. I hated the animation at first but it grew on me, but though it was not what I liked or wanted. I hated how straightforward it was. It wasn't bad, but it removed everything special about the first series. The mysteries were gone, the emotional ups and downs were flattened, and the goofball nature of vash was just not there. I regard its fans as I do the fans of live action bebop or live action ghost in the shell. They like the aesthetic or they like the product without understanding why the original was so special.

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

It's not even based on the original manga any more than the old series, jsut another adaptation. So saying that is already not giving it a fair shot in terms of expectations. But it seems to do decently in Japan, partly BECAUSE they're not so hung up on obsessive lore pandering, unlike "everyone", that being English-only Adult Swim secondaries on forums. I don't like Stampede because it's just pointlessly retreading the specific IP, probably in order to seek clout in Western markets that ARE only attractd to old IP, even if it's something like Sonic movie being just as bad as Hop by Illumination. I like shows like Last Exile spoofing on captain Harlock and galaxy express, and I like Soul Eater Not! establishing lore in Fire Force. So I'm NOT hard to please. Stampede just does the ACTUAL thing that AMericans wrongly attribute to "corporate wokeness" because they're too media-illiterate to identify the problem; and that problem IS that audiences reward retreads. They actually CAUSE the problem and try to pin it on wokeness, when the whole thing wouldn't happen if they actually just googled new stuff or used our friendly website we have here. Even more insidiious is when they prop Lucas and Tarantino as some kinds of genius when all they do is reference media that USA makes difficult to market inside its borders without a big name auteur, like Kurosawa. The same kind of thing when Hollywood borderline banned Anime directors when all the Japanese animation you could find was paid with peanuts to animate Disney Afternoon and Turtles. We have Australia to thank for even THAT happening, and now they're wasting Filipino talent on Velma. And ALL the mooks cry that this "wokeness" just started yesterday and not with Tranformers and Robotech. をはり

Liked and subscribed solely because of your review of Trigun Stampede. I was a fan of both the original anime and the manga (which are different, btw) and I absolutely loved Stampede. It got a lot of undeserved hate before it even aired, receiving criticism on everything from the CGI to the redesigns to the lack of Milly. I’m really glad that Stampede brought new Trigun fans in who are eager to check out the original stuff, and I hope they come to appreciate both versions!

[@ModestMouseTrap]

Glad you enjoyed Trigun Stampede! Agreed that it’s a must watch show. It’s kind of ridiculous how slept on it is. I say this as a fan of the OG 98 series as well. I actually think Stampede surpasses it. Absolutely cannot wait for season 2.

Couldn't agree more! I watched the 98 anime right before Stampede, and went into it pretty biased because i hard a hard time adapting to the CG, and i came out having loved it so much more (and even more so now, after having read Maximum)

[@sharebear421]

How can stampede surpass it when we barely got much story and no conclusion? Seems like recency bias or you just like the better animation considering it was a prequel and lots of stuff was rushed or changed. 98 had a wonderful story for how far off the manga it went. Which confuses me why they’d go anime original/reimagine twice ina row instead of adapting maximum and giving it the brotherhood treatment it deserves. Fans have been wishing for that for 20 years

[@kamuyking551]

man, I really wish people wouldn't rip into CGI in anime so much... they did that with Chainsaw Man too, and the CG was often nearly imperceptible in that, like, 90% of the time. and Dorohedoro is one of my absolute mega favorite anime, even though the CG on that is older, and definitely has a larger proportion of visible jank. it was really good for the time it was made though! and the show itself is so aesthetically stunning and well written that I cannot imagine getting hung up on that. on top of that... visuals aren't everything. my other favorite anime of all time, Golden Kamuy, has a supremely unfortunate CGI bear in the first episode, and uses actually bad looking CG for a lot of the animals in the early episodes... it absolutely _KILLS_ me, knowing how many people were probably deterred from the show because of that, and then missed all the amazing writing, and character building, and plot twists, and excellent themes, that are present in the rest of the show. it's seriously one of my favorite examples of how a show can be semi-episodic and make both parts work... like, there's a problem-of-the-episode loose structure that sometimes supports the plot, but each episode is a new puzzle piece that feeds into overarching questions in a really satisfying way... it's just really enjoyable on an episode-to-episode basis, and then it also rewards you greatly for being along for that ride. (it's also stunning to me that the CGI bear is what's gatekeeping people, and not any of a handful of other things that could reasonably be doing that instead. and no, it's not what you think. idk what you'd think after hearing that, but it's not any of those things. let's just say there is no limit to what this show will treat as a punchline, and there is no anticipating what in the hell the bit is going to be in any given episode. it is so hard to recommend this anime, but I love it so much.)

@@Yixdy it is great...

[@lillith7257]

it can really ruin a masterpiece of a story when done bad, bringing it down from a 10 to a 6 and even when done well it's still jarring. anime almost always uses CG at least nowadays, but when it's a decent chunk it has never been a good thing.

[@kamuyking551]

@@lillith7257 I think you're kind of failing to see the bigger picture here... I can tell exactly why they wanted to use CGI on both Dorohedoro, and Chainsaw Man. I mean... just look at the main characters. both Kaiman and chainsaw Denji have very detailed, fiddly designs that would be a nightmare to hand animate. if you insisted that it be done by hand, you would probably end up with no anime at all. and even just looking at the difference in technique between Dorohedoro and Chainsaw Man, you can see how much MAPPA has improved. it's incredibly impressive, especially given the relatively short amount of time between the two series. I honestly think that Dorohedoro is interesting, in part, _because_ you can kind of see some of the limitations of the technique... it feels like a little snapshot of what kind of work was possible at that point in time, and I think that's really neat. I think what needs to be recognized in this discussion, is that CGI isn't evil... its just a tool. one of many that animators have at their disposal. and it can be used well, or it can be used poorly. to acknowledge one of these things but not the other is just factually false. and even if you can see a technique struggling at the edges of its limitations, it's cool to see what still can be done with it. I think Dorohedoro has an amazing aesthetic, and the story and characters are strong enough that I'd probalby even watch the show if it looked like dog shit... fact of the matter is, it _doesn't_ look like dog shit. it _can_ look a little awkward in motion sometimes, but honestly, that doesn't bother me, given how ambitious of an adaptation it is. all of the environments in Dorohedoro are so richly detailed and full of grungy little touches that make it all feel realistically lived in... and a LOT of the character animation is so jam packed with energy, personality, and details that really make the cast lovable. to clarify: I know these things can be done without CGI as well... I'm just saying that CGI doesn't rob the production of these things, and actually might've made it easier to bring it all together on screen, in this particular case. and honestly, looking at the Dorohedoro manga... I don't know how else they would've adapted art like that for animation. I think Dorohedoro's manga art style works uniquely well for manga specifically, and if an anime adaptation was ever going to be made, it would need to actually put work into adapting the aesthetic to fit the medium of animation. the CGI approach retains as much of that highly detailed information as possible, and you can tell that the team that worked on this anime really really cared about the source material, based on the omake episode at the end. in that episode, they created a series of short skits where they actually _did_ use 2D illustrations! but they had a more limited type of animation, where the drawings just sort of pop between key frames rather than being 100% animated. but the illustrations maintain a stunning resemblance to the source material, which must've taken a TON of effort, and it's just... really really impressive. and very touching that they'd also include that sort of homage. idk, I just cannot in a million years imagine looking down on that kind of effort and consideration... I had too much fun watching that anime to begrudge it for something like CGI animation.

[@ConvincingPeople]

It's worth noting that the vast majority of what people claim is "CG" in Chainsaw Man isn't 3D CG at all; it's generally either very slick traditional animation or some alternative method such as rotoscoping which is still primarily hand-drawn. The issue isn't CG, it's the *idea* of CG and people getting a bug up their butts about styles of animation not being "anime enough."

I've seen so many horrible takes on Stampede from the OG Trigun fans it's depressing. Especially when they dunk on its animation and visual direction. Like, do you people even have eyes behind those nostalgia glasses? Then they would also often go on about tone and pacing, and it'd be even more baffling because the original was spinning its wheels with goofy monster-of-the-week antics for like 20 episodes, and then at the very end it would remember what it was supposed to do plot-wise and wrap it up in in what little runtime it had remaining. There was no sense of progression or even understanding what the central plot conflict was about. It was so jarring when I watched it that I went to find the manga and found out it hadn't even been finished yet and most of what was out by then had a much darker tone that the anime had only transitioned near the very end of its run, causing a whiplash. Stampede handles its characters and themes so much better. By sacrificing most of the (inconsequential) side-cast encounters, it enables the audience to focus on what's actually important for the plot. If people can't appreciate that, they probably don't even understand what the original manga is supposed to be about.

[@Beatmaster971]

Trigun Stampede was fantastic! As a manga fan the comic both shows are based on is one of my favorite comics of all time

[@orewing]

Having read the manga and watched the '98 anime, I really think Stampede does an incredible job at remixing plot points from the manga-it's still Trigun at its core, being created by a team of people who absolutely _adore_ the franchise and put so much hard work and passion into its creation. But it's also something _new,_ and that both excites and terrifies me. I really can't wait to see where Orange take the story in the future. I also can't recommend the manga highly enough. Don't get me wrong; the '98 anime is great! But Trigun Maximum hit different and so much harder for me, and I feel like it's unsung by comparison.

[@OwlishFun]

This is such a fun approach to finding anime and doing reviews. I had such fun watching this and the previous video. That you ended with Stampede is just the cherry on top. The '96 version is one of my all time faves, and Stampede is a total joy, I can't pick one over the other. Glad you enjoyed it. Look forward to more randomized anime reviews in future, amazing work!

[@PloysMaw]

Got to say I do prefer this format. Can't wait too see if you watch more of Mamoru Hosoda works: such as Wolf Children and Summer Wars. The first of which I think is one of the best anime films I've seen.

[@tartipouss]

I was currently watching the original Trigun anime (episode 11) and then I get recommended a video with Vash in the thumbnail even tho I’ve never seen a single person even mentioning the existence of this anime before I just had to click, thank you KZbin recommendation I wouldn’t have known there was a new Trigun anime without this video, and just from the recap of the first episode... wow, it’s completely different, Vash’s bounty even went from 60 billions to 6 millions. The only thing similar to the first episode of the old anime is that gag where Vash try to shoot his gun but he has no bullet. I have no idea if I just got spoiled a major thing, but it just looks and is so different I might just watch both, they seems like such different experience that I might even watch them back to back (I feel like I lost my ability to make good sentences while writing this comment)

[@zebbyy]

Ooo, I’m so happy to see something I recognize pop up!! The girl who leapt through time has been a favorite of mine for years, and I just recently bought the dvd and soundtrack cd of it. I also watched trigun stampede right after the last episode aired and immediately fell in love with it, and have been watching trigun 98 as well, which is unsurprisingly amazing. Love them both very dearly for different reasons, and I’m so glad stampede exists cause it’s (amazing and) caused a huuuuge resurgence in popularity for trigun as a whole, which it very much deserves

[@hunterchristian2404]

I could watch a whole massive playlist of videos like this. Love your site!

[@RGC_animation]

Since literally nobody outside of China (or even in China really) knows about the third "anime" Bai Bian Bu Lu Ke (百变布鲁可), here's the synopsis of the show I've found on a Chinese website: "Transformer Bruco is a 3D animation work created by Bruco Animation for children aged 2-6. In the tranquil town of Lusaka, there live three transforming block robots - Bubu, Lulu and Coco, who are created by the magical Dr. Pai and have special powers to transform into various vehicles and help people solve any problems. The work aims to let children learn about the knowledge and functions of various vehicles through interesting animated stories, and cultivate the qualities of positive mutual aid, solidarity and love."

[@ade1174]

I enioyed the previous anime recommendation video so it was cool to see a spiritual successor to that video. Finding obscure media is always neat. It feels like you know something that gives you a bit of bragging rights.

[@serenabissanti9104]

So pumped I got my recommendation in the video!! I was like a lot of people, a bit worried it would do something wrong or not look good. But they honestly made sure to do the original justice. The last episode really brought it all together and reassured me there gonna have it all. They really made it a version of there own while still pleasing the original fans. Super excited for season two. Now do some demon slayer material!

[@mei9048]

Ahhh I loved your review on Trigun Stampede!❤ I'm so so happy you gave it a chance and you're so right about the haters, at this point they're just unreasonable. Oh, and let me tell you, the '98 adaptation, yes, that one that's praised so highly, has soooo many issues! While I still treasure it in my heart, it doesn't hold a candle to the manga. The '98 adaptation is honestly majorly just full of filler, only taking away from what material they had at the time since manga didn't end till years later. The characters are also really mischaracterized...for example because of the director, Vash was made into a pervy skirt chaser which he ISN'T (Mr. Nightow himself was not happy about this change, I read an interview about this. Vash is not a women lover.) and Meryl with Milly were in the '98 basically reduced to nothing but love interests, forcing a romance into the story. Eugh. And don't get me even started on what they did to Knives... They basically turned him into your everyday cartoon villain 😭😭😭 This is why I adore the Trigun Stampede though. Yes, it isn't one to one adaptation, it's more sci-fi focused, the timeline is scrambled and some things are changed...BUT the essence, the core themes from the manga are kept! That's why I love it! There are SO MANY REFERENCES to individual manga panels, it's like finding easter eggs! Delightful. Studio Orange did a great job making this reboot, it can be said it's a love letter to the manga. So full of love, effort and respect towards the original work.🥹🥹

[@LibyusNFS]

Been absolutely in love with your videos for quite a while now, and so too has the wife! If you end up doing another one of these randomizer videos, we'd love to see you review Guilty Crown!

[@glitchblobclips6457]

hello, i love these randomized watchlists as well as your very informative or wholesome reactions! :D

[@dreamchaser3012]

I love how there are people who say Stampede doesn't do the story justice and that the 98 anime is superior in that regard when the OG is *LITERALLY* fan-fiction. It doesn't follow the manga storyline at all. Fucking Knives fights Vash using a gun in the OG, when it's fucking carved in stone that Knives despises firearms and considers them weapons of sinners and cowards. Stampede while reimagining the events of the manga, actually follows them MUCH closer than the OG anime ever did.

[@tnaxpw]

I had to take a break after you summarized ep1 of Yoru no Yatterman to watch it, tbh it's a nice gem, plot twist and ending to the series (that I watched as a child with french dub that had polish lector over it). I'm happily waiting for next installment.

[@thisrandomdude_]

I came here from the talk you did with Ah Lecks on his second channel, and though this doesn't seem to be your usual style of content from your homepage and from what you talked about in that video, I still had a blast watching it!! This was plenty in-depth for what it was, so I'm totally looking forward to exploring the rest of your portfolio, that seems to be even more so! :) p.s. you should totally check out Bonsai Pop's video on Tigun Stampede, as huge fans of the original they made a video talking about the reboot and where it was going as opposed to the original. Their theorycrafting ended up being 100% correct, and the video is a great to watch even if it wasn't. It isn't strictly necessary but if you're looking for opinions it might be a solid video to go to. Funnily enough I haven't actually seen either of the adaptations and have been meaning to get into it by watching Stampede, especially since I watched that video. Yours has sold me on it all the more so. Anyway, thanks for reading this!!

[@jlnj0]

I appreciate the properly placed spoiler warnings, I'll be back to hear your thoughts that I missed this time!

[@NoiseDay]

Dang, I wish I hadn't slept on Trigun Stampede. People were talking about it and I checked out the original to "cover my bases." I only got a couple of episodes in and wasn't all that impressed. I figured I did my homework and found the show wasn't for me. I had no idea the reboot was so cool.

[@yoder6162]

Why would you base your whole perception of if you'd like the modern version of something based on a way older version of that same thing, especially when that version didn't even follow the original source material in the first place?

[@gh0sty_ko254]

You can't just watch the first few episodes and leave it before the show even has a chance to start. Yeah, you didn't get into it- it didn't even start yet. Trust. Watch at least half of '98. The characterization in '98 is so /so/ much better, where its basically non-existent in Stampede. I say this, as someone who watched Stampede first, liked it in concept but felt there was something missing. I am not a fan of a lot of 3D work, I did not like the Stampede CG but grain of salt. I went back and watched all of '98 after watching the first 10 episodes of Stampede and I had no will to finish it anymore.

[@uniformofsquids1718]

Loving these randomized videos, hope to see more soon!

[@maxnoyes853]

I watched both your videos in this series and I really hop e don't stop making them

[@bhriannphilip]

The story tone/direction in Trigun 1998 is basically “fun and games” from the first half and the other half is “life and death”. Trigun Stampede is mostly mature “life and death” with ptsd and trauma. In the end, both of those versions are amazing. I also recommend that you should watch the movie “Trigun: Badlands Rumble”, this is not mandatory I would say because this is like a fun side story not mentioned in the manga like almost every anime movie ever that is based on its series. From what I heard, thanks to anime’s success in america, this movie is more like a “thank you” gift for Trigun fans but hey I could be wrong tho

[@Ryuu44]

Yatterman and Yatterdetaman brings me back. I remember watching them 30 years ago on Polish tv with Italian dub, and even an original Italian OP song (maybe it's nostalgia goggles, but I really think I Cavalieri Del Re made a lot of banger anime OPs). Didn't know your channel before, but 90% of my reasoning for clicking on this viideo was a hope you'll come accross one of the shows from my childhood that nobody talks about on the internet (at least in EN and PL speaking parts of it.

[@NoiseDay]

Obligatory appreciation comment for Girl Who Leapt Through Time amongst all the Trigun. I forgot how much I loved the characters and atmosphere.

[@ViktorErikFade]

PLEASE when you watch the original trigun don't sleep on the dubbed version!!! Johnny Young Bosh does an amazing job with Vash as well as the original cast Also Johnny Y.B reprises his role for stampede with new voice talent like David Matranga as Nickolas D. wolfwood . Neither show trigun or stampede is better than each other but more parts to a greater whole and I cannot sing the praises of either enough. The original has that classic 90's flare that gets you emotionally invested in the characters while the reboot pulls out all the stops having every single manga only characters to put onto the screen just about. As someone who was watch trigun, stampede, and read trigun and trigun maximum the manga I honestly recommend both shows or all three !(( Trigun 98' had to make up it's ending due to the manga not being done where as stampede took all that info and ran with it )) It's rare a show recaptures the heart and soul the original did but stapmede Vash is the same guy I grew up with that originally made me love anime to begin with, trigun was one of my first anime ever And Vash no matter what shell he is repackaged in .....I will always have a soft spot for and am glad new fans are now joining me and are along for the ride because with his original voice actor coming back it feels like a long lost favorite has returned after a long wait :)

[@hawkeyefigure]

I love this series you created. Been learning a lot about underrated anime and the history behind them. Keep doing this!

[@cifer8070]

Trigun stampede made me fall in love with 3d animation style, it's so good

[@Revealingstorm.]

This is such a cool idea for a video series, and it also basically makes it so you can do as many of these as you want there to be. good job

[@emilyturney8645]

tristamp has got to be one of the most compelling emotional animes ive watched in a very very long time im so happy for season 2 and i grew up with the og trigun anime and manga

[@Cwinkle]

I remember watching girl that leapt through time on my iPhone 4 in middle school and liking it a lot the end always stuck with me and made me remember it every once in awhile, and I’m so glad you watched stampede I’ve been trying to get people to watch it for so long and nobody does cause it’s cgi which is a shame cause the town chase scene is one of the best things I’ve seen

[@trilobiteterror8015]

The first part of the final season of Beastars is coming out in December 2024. I'd love to see your take on the series. It's a masterpiece (IMO) that's far too easy for people who haven't watched it to "judge by the cover".

[@droj7]

The amount of research for this video is my gosh...this needs a million views

[@saltandcoffee4297]

the first random anime video inspired me to also use the site to watch random anime and so far it's been pretty fun so thank you for that :)

[@gabsol7397]

Trigun Stampede :o I'm late on my Winter list so I haven't finished it yet but it's my favourite of the season, space western is my thing and it's visually stunning. It's strange because I remember some scenes in Toki wo Kakeru Shojo but I absolutely don't know when I watched it... Yatterman Night looks visually better than I expected lmao Finally... nothing to say about the chinese one i guess ahaha Lucky selection overall!

[@DarkKnight32768]

Hey, the latest addition to “Yatterman” lineage is actually a dorama from previous year called “Doronjo”, you should check it (but try to avoid spoilers). There's not a lot of discussions about it outside of Japan, but English subtitles are available.

[@The_miIk]

I have never seen trigun before. But gosh dang trigun stampede looks amazing for 3D!! Gonna be the first thing i watch on crunchyroll when i buy it!

[@JWizzie]

I fucking played Capcom vs Tatsunoko so long ago and thought tatsunoko was some obscure videogame and thats where the characters were from. But it was an anime studio. holy shit. I actually recognise yatterman and ippatsu-man. what a nostalgia hit.

[@teddymackerel]

would love to see a full video on trigun, especially if you end up reading the manga or watching 98 :) i watched stampede, then read the manga, and then watched the original show.... and id probably make my own analysis video if i had enough experience to do it lol

[@Kiboune_YT]

One more thing about animation in Trigun Stampede what I love, is how much Studio Orange loves long takes for action segments

[@mahoushoujo8020]

I loved the '98 Trigun anime, and am happy to hear you plant to watch it, but like many in the Trigun community, I cannot stress how much I recommend reading the manga as well if you like the series!

[@sonnyc9587]

This is such a great idea for a video series. I watched a bunch of your videos. Good stuff king. 👑

[@armsofundertow98]

I really wish you would have watched the original before stampede. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the original anime. That said, excellent series and cant wait to see more of your videos!

[@jaikeis]

I'm very excited to see some pretty niche picks making into into the user recs wheel at the end. There's some series that are so hard to recommend to people just based on the subject matter and bare bones 10 second summary, so I hope you can give whatever comes up a thorough look.

[@amazzzing_grace]

In my heart, nothing can replace the original '98 Trigun. When I heard that there was going to be a remake/retelling I was skeptical but willing to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did. Stampede needs more love. What I appreciate is that it's not trying to trample on the original or overshadow it, simply trying to add onto the amazing story that's already there and give respective call-backs when needed. It's trying to be different and I respect that. I also don't think it's that hard to separate them either. All the characters are just as likeable as they were in the '98 version too.

[@namco402]

Personally I don't care about the 3D I do care that they changed Milly and that Dynamic for why they're sticking around Vash to just being a reporter and then Roberto DeNiro starts out as the stereotypical you don't know nothing rookie I'm jaded because I'm old archetype which I'm tired of. I also love that the first one was a western and then once you're invested in the world and how it is THEN throws the twist of being a Sci-Fi in it

[@annavitkovska2943]

I hope you will do more of this, I really enjoyed it!

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

I run a twitch channel airing a classic CN lineup. Like, it runs a weekly setup schedule with commercials and bumpers designed to emulate the best of CN. So naturally, the whole weekend's adult swim blocks are anime (fri-sat, sat-sunday, which even adds an extra 2 hours to the back end to give more room for anime saturday morning, and saturday into sunday) and the ONLY time I've ever seen anything of trigun is ONE TIME I managed to stay up ALL NIGHT (well since I started this project) because I wanted to watch through my entire satuday night/sunday morning block, which has the best lineup imo (so starting from midnight, with each being half an hour, shinchan>Hamtaro>Full Metal Alchemist>FLCL> Ghost in the Shell SAC>Cowboy Bebop>Heaven's Lost Property>Sekirei>Ranma1/2> Lupin the Third>Star Blazers (yes the dub)> and then Trigun> Sgt Frog> Ruroni Kenshin> Jojo> Mew Mew Power (originally sailor moon, but moved sailor moon to sunday afternoon to be apart of toonami and just felt like a magical girl anime was the best way to bring in the morning). That time I was up at 5:30am was the only time I caught it. Now that I think of it, I wanna add Deltora Quest before Mew Mew Power, but don't want to get rid of jojo...

holy shit you could not have gotten better anime for this video yatterman night has a stupidly fucking cool premise with amazingly fun characters and such a deep history surrounding the franchise, that i was sold immediately the girl who lept through time has been a movie ive been meaning to get to for a long time (its fantastic) and the trigun section has me so hyped i am going to get off my ass and finally watch trigun because holy shit what i just saw was insane i love these types of videos especially when you can find some hidden gems (tho in this case they werent that hidden)

[@Supinori]

I loved this format! Hope you continue this series!

[@Knaifuwaifulaifu]

more people need to watch yatterman night coz holy it was so good and i love seeing it get some recognition finally

[@lenslow7999]

I haven't seen the original Trigun so I was going into Stampede completely blind. I don't know if it comes close to the original and I can see why people who love the 98 Trigun are put off by the different mood and different character design but that is all the reason I can think about why someone would say they don't like Stampede. The people who say they didn't like it were probably watching like 5 minutes of Stampede and decided to not give it a try and my god, did they made a mistake. The 3D animation is different but you get used to it pretty fast as it is the best 3D animation out there, as expected from Studio Orange, who specialized in 3D animation and already showed what they are capable of in Houseki no Kuni and Beasters, two shows that are very beloved by a very large fanbase (although it is more the manga of Houseki no Kuni which gets all the recognition). The animation in Stampede is outstanding. The show has such beatiful shots due to the composition and direction that work very well with the 3D animation. The story is not a lighthearted comedy like the original was (that is what I have heared at least), it is more like a very suspenseful tragedy, almost heartwrenching at times. Paired with the incredible soundtrack, the show manages to create a gripping atmosphere that makes you yearning for more after every episode. It's been such a long time I've seen a show where I just sat there, staring at a black screen in silence when I've finished it. Trigun Stampede left me speechless, despite having watched it with a friend, the room was shrouded in silence. I do not want to pretend the show is perfect. Although I, personally, can't think of anything wrong with Stampede on the fly, I am sure there is something to pick on when looking for it. It is a damn good show nonetheless and very, very beautiful despite being 3DCG, which really is the biggest flaw of the show I can think of (which is kinda amazing, as I just called it fuckin beautiful).

[@dannymischler1279]

Thank you for your views on Trigun,I 100% agree and people need to chill their asses about CG and the differences about the 98 adaptation. The manga is so fluid and can be taken and broken apart so many different ways to tell the story the same way, like gosh guys chill
