One thing I appreciate about Stampade: Knives is more active. I just hope they explore his sympathetic side more.

[@aliahpersonous2893]

He was sympathetic??

[@MM-qo2ww]

@@aliahpersonous2893 His goal and mentality was sumpathetic. He did most of what he did so his species wouldn't be used by humans after their own mistakes.

[@aliahpersonous2893]

@@MM-qo2ww I mean to a point, for sure. But Each Knives kinda fell off at some point pretty quick

Adding the manga storyline where the humans kill the plant Tesla would rule.

@@aliahpersonous2893 we kinda did "they belong to us" he sees Vash and only Vash as his equal, they are twins but Knives hates humans and wants to force Vash to leave the humans and come back to him willingly, Vash is the only thing he ever cared about and I hope we get to see it finally animated.

[@nevsforest]

gotta love the way Knives revealed himself in this one. like a big headed blue villain once said, PRESENTATION!

[@lightyearsfalling]

Oh my god, Nai's VA is so insanely good. You can hear the subtle movements in his voice, and little fillers like that "eh?" after he asked Vash whose side he's on. It's small details, but it makes the character so much more alive (and scary, in this case).

[@Archana_Soren]

I love Nai's VA too. But unfortunately they're going to replace him.

[@lightyearsfalling]

@@Archana_Soren omg really? Do you know why?

[@Archana_Soren]

Yeah. The reason is really bad. Apparently he was arrested for fraud and scamming someone so his agency dropped him 💀 It was around October, I guess.

[@lightyearsfalling]

@@Archana_Soren ... holy shit 😭

[@Archana_Soren]

Forgot to mention but he was also suffering from crippling depression at that time and it had something to do with his toxic ex-wife.

[@dontknowdontknow9769]

well this episode was a masterpiece and one of the most traumatic of the 2023

[@krajicsek13]

This episode got dark real quick

I love Trigun, but love even more the surprise that 3D can be great in anime

[@Killahurtz260]

CGI has always been great in anime.

[@HeyNaviHey]

I'm fine with the CGI, but they butchered Vash's character. He's supposed to be the tragic hero, that shoulders everything on his own, to protect everyone. Instead he speaks openly about Knives and puts everyone in danger ep1. If you want to tell your own story, good. But stop nostalgia baiting people and then delivering a script based on a short summary of the series.

[@yamama6514]

@@HeyNaviHey no one is nostalgia baiting except the fans themselves. It’s been stated that this would be different from the original anime and closer to the manga. People are casting their own bait and biting their own bait at the same time.

[@yamama6514]

@@Killahurtz260 that is hugely debatable, but it is definitely getting better.

[@HeyNaviHey]

@@yamama6514 but it's not. The original series is way closer to the manga, even if it doesn't cover all of Trigun Maximum.

[@riffraff2830]

Seems to be a lot more horror based, (instead of filler like the anime), having all the big main villians from Maximum come out in grand blood fests.

[@brayanramirez7876]

Presentation villain 100/10 god

[@rachel._342]

Im supposed to hate Knives…why did they make him fine as hell 😭😭

[@TazHall]

Possible spoilers What also really scares Vash is the way Knives can just control his body against his will, and seems to know more about it than he does. There's something kinda rapey about that, yikes!

[@barbievale]

I am so normal about this so normal haha... ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ Can tomorrow come already? I need to watch this NOW

[@Pr4TheNPC]

?

[@barbievale]

Huh? The episode comes out tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

It was so good

why do I feel like we're going to see the angel arm soon

[@fictionarch]

Think we already saw Knives.

[@jamesrusso6812]

It’s hilarious how abysmal this is compared to Knives’ appearances in the original anime and the manga
