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?
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.

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

It’s still fun, but it’s very 90s
Just like Tubthumping
