people are designing modern manga characters thinking they should be animator friendly/not too complex/coherent,,,,,,,

meanwhile Nightow in the 1990s:

I don't know much about Gungrave but from what I understand, this is Nightow's Wolfwood-verse.

yasuhiro nightow did the character design for this game and the guy who literally looks exactly like wolfwood is also called the wolf?? im about to play this just for him😭

[lizkreates]

Nightow loved his blorbos so much he reincarnated them, huh.

so now that everyone has caught up on the various trigun canons, i humbly suggest obsessing over yasuhiro nightow's other work -- starting with this ancient anime: gungrave.

What I love about both Trigun and Gungrave, is that it shows the vulnerability of men in such an unfiltered way. Nightow gives us men that are powerful and scary and feared among people, even their own peers, but always lets them have a certain softness at their core and allows them to be humans that cry like infants when they lose a loved one and feel intense emotions. I love it so much because it tackles the bullshit idea that men have to cast aside their emotions to be strong. You can tell, no matter how badass these characters are and no matter the stupid decisions they make, that all they want is to be loved dearly.

Also the key for these characters to improve their mental state is NEVER to put up even higher walls, but to let people in and help them. They get better by allowing other people to love them, even when they feel so so undeserving of it because of past sins and mistakes they made. It's fucking amazing.
