Trigun Stampede Deserves Your Attention

Thanks for watching

I watched the first episode yesterday and here are my problems with it so far (CGI isn't one of them):

1. Why did Rem decided to not go in the capsule to escape the falling ship ?
There seemed to have enough space for her and Knives even told her to jump in .
Why wanting to die?

2. almost ¾ of Roberto and Merile lines were exposition , it was a bit painful .

3. Things go way too fast .
The first episode of any given show must sale its story to the audience by presenting the characters and the world while also keeping things limited in order to not feel overwhelming.
The events of said first episode must also feel somehow impactful to make the character's motivation , past , etc fell credible.

This episode didn't do that.
We were first in a space ship which exploded less than 10 sec later , than we skipped to the reporters who get lost in the desert , then they meet with a random guy which happens to be vash the stamped .

There are no build up to anything, things seem to just happen.
Usually in a normal when secondary characters meet the MC , who is somehow famous , and Don't know his real identity , there's always time between their meeting and the discovery. The goal is to make the reveal impactful for them .
But in stamped , they simply meet and know about him 20 sec later .

There was also no indication that the officer who chased vash would accept a duel against him and there was even less indication that he'd use bombs and risk the lives of the inhabitants of the town and himself (because, yeah , if his plan succeeded , he'd have also been blown up) .

This gives the impression that the show is unfocused .

I hope that those issues will be solved in the next episode because the show seems really promising with stellar CGI.

Is Milly in it?

If yes, I'll give it a ep or two

If no, no dice.

Besides I think the cgi is good in stampede but people are right to be turned off by cgi. Cgi is pretty bad generally more than it is good. You have your outliers like orange studio and Ufotable that use it consistently well, but like most anime besides the well known ones, most of it is cookie cutter short cut ridden garbage and it's everywhere. Rather than use the dynamics to it's advantage they would rather cut corners and make things overall uglier to get things out quicker. Take AOT or berserk for example. And it's been a growing trend without realizing why it became one.

My problem isn't the CGI. It's the story, that was a thing in the 1st ep and then trow all this away and become something very diferent and not that interesting.

Apparently the 98 anime is 2/3 original story and filler and only managed to adapt like 2-3 volumes out of 17 of manga. So if people trashing the show only use the anime as their reference point then their going to be shit out of luck. Stampede is not looking to recreate the 98 anime especially when the manga has 17 completed volumes thay can pull the storylines from and it's not trying to be a 1:1 adaptation of a 17 volume manga because of time and episode constraint
The manga creator seems to be supporting Stampede since they've been tweeting about it every episode is released. You are free not to like the show but trashing it with ridiculous nitpicks is just ridiculous.

Stampede is better than the 98 anime just to piss off the naysayers.

You should watch the og because they really are different pacing is bad sure it's slow and had its filler eps but the writing/storytelling is waaaaaay better, in stampede I love that they jumped into the juicy stuff but feels rushed and not fleshed out there was way more mystery, comedy, and it really gave that wild wild west vibe with gun slingers and bandits, stampede just throws it in your face just gives you the black and white pull on your heart strings for a character you've only knew 10 minutes ago, i can't go into more detail too much but can definitely say I did enjoy one more than the other.
