        The beam cannon is just his arm and gun super Angel fusion.

        I thought the three guns were the two revolvers and his arm pistol

        Damn I really remember none of Trigun, and it was one of my favorites when it came out. I should do a rewatch now that it’s been… oh god like two decades?

          They did just do a uh reboot? I guess. It’s not the same but it ain’t bad. Some stuff it did better some stuff worse, still suggest the original tho.

            I couldn’t watch the reboot. I have too much love for the original that I couldn’t make it through more than 4 episodes

              Yeah, it for sure is not as good. It’s missing the dramatic tone shift of the first, that made it so iconic. Though the Eriks bit at the start of season 2 I feel was done a lot better than the original, plus some other things were done well. Plus it does go more into angels, wolfwood’s genetic mutation, and more of the characters that were left out from the manga in the 2nd season.

            Ahhh it’ll feel very nostalgic for me then! I grew up on 80s and 90s anime~ I recall the dub’s voice acting being stellar, but maybe it hits differently with how great voice acting has become over the years.

              There’s a little bit of the “screechy tsundere” voice here and there going on that was pretty common at the time, but a lot less than most shows of the era. Beyond that, the dub is great, imo.

    There is now so much manga and light novel titles that I kinda understand why they do this. It is hard to decide what to even click on, and if I can’t even tell what genre it is from the title or cover picture, I’m less likely to check it out

    Read somewhere that’s because the mangas in the store just show the title at the front. By putting the whole story premise into the title prospective buyers can see at a glance what the book is about without picking it up.

    Give it a little time and books will be intriguing again with a mysterious short title.

      “Poop Gun”

      Wait, so is the gun made of poop? Does it fire poop bullets?

      Then the sequal:

      “Oscillating doormat”

      That’s partially true. It’s because the web novel that the manga is adapted from used the premise as a title for optimized SEO so that their story can be seen by more readers.

        Makes it a massive pain in the ass to find them on watch/read tracking websites, especially when they have those ~ and 《》in the title (or subtitle). As an avid Manga reader, I have started skipping those series because, more often than not, they are just as uncreative as their titles. SEO or not, a good story will be spread by word of mouth. These writers are just screaming they don’t have confidence in what they are creating.

        It’s awesome practice. I don’t read manga, but do watch the anime adaptations. It gives you exactly what it says on the tin. I love it.
