i need to watch the last few tristamp eps but i also kinda dont want to theyve lost me honestly. i hate being like "old thing good new thing bad" but i am not really feeling most of the changes. read more because holy shit i was not expecting this to get so long

maybe its having read trimax thats skewing my perception more than a bit but i don't think a lot of the story changes are that interesting or even good sometimes. Like roberto is really boring imo and i feel like something is shifted abt the tone of the show and the audience's perception of vash by revealing his backstory right out the gate instead of getting the sort of outsider pov of meryl and milly like the start of 98 and trimax did.

the tone is much more heavy and obviously trimax was like that too in the latter half but i think having the entire show be kinda moody feels less impactful than the contrast between the many silly and completely serious moments the og story had. Having lighthearted stuff made more depressing scenes stand out and i feel that duality is also kinda important since the capacity for both good and evil in humans is such a central theme. Idk where i'm going with this theres more i could talk about but it just sucks because i really wanted to love this show despite knowing it was gonna be a reboot and was pretty optimistic going into it but atp i'm just kind of :/ and i doubt that i'm going to do a 180 later and end up loving it.

It also kind of blows that i think stampede is probably a fun watch if youve never seen or read trigun before but if you go back to older iterations after watching it youve already gotten later stuff spoiled. Like i don't think its all bad I enjoyed seeing aspects of the story that weren't in 98 get animated and i do enjoy the animation itself, I'm just not all that invested in it as adaptation anymore

also i will never forgive them for livio and especially elendira's new designs this was my one chance to see them animated WHYYYYYY

#this was supposed to be like a two sentence post Damn #sorry my twitter is deactivated right now so you all have to suffer me actually posting #i also think 98 is a pretty flawed adaptation but that has to do more with the fact that the manga wasnt even done at that time #and taking that into consideration i think it turned out pretty well despite the ending being kinda rushed #and missing out on aspects of charas like wolfwood that would get added into the manga later #spoilers but i do think the bit with vash using punisher against knives rocks. wouldnt have fit in trimax obv but it works well for 98 #also im still mourning the angel-ish look for the plants. ik it wouldve been a nightmare to animate esp in 3d but it was so sick man.#chatots
