Why are they drastically rebooting a series that never even had a proper adaptation in the first place? They're trying to make it their own I guess but I wanted the Trigun Maximum manga to be adapted finally.

Imagine getting ahold of Trigun of all IPs and think it needs a new visual flair. And then you just make it look like everything else. Unappealing soft&clean fantasy Sci-Fi. And K-Pop hair. Oh well.

Honestly I kind of feel that the Trigun anime (and also Kekkai Sensen s1) are both stronger adaptions than their source material. Nightow Yasuhiro's manga have interesting settings and characters, but also really really high energy, hard to follow, and episodic, avoiding much of an overarching narrative. I also think that the reason why so many of these remakes miss the mark is that a lot of these iconic shows are heavily of their time. Trigun is definitely very 90s and much of the appeal comes from aesthetic and storytelling sensibilities of that period, such as traditional cel rather than digital animation etc. I feel this way about the modern Bastard!! adaption as well.

If they kill the groovy 2000's cartoon style I'm going in for round 2 of arson.
Milk-chan akbar! Milk-chan akbar!

I really wonder what it's going to be like. The quality was all over the place in the original but as a whole I enjoyed it, I'm just hoping for more kino like Les Diaboliques and the finale.
Pls don't do a FLCL. (And that goes for Super Milk-chan Forever too!)

Why is that such a big deal, you may ask, because Vash's original hairstyle was a gift from the most important person in his life, Rem.

The only problem is that was something the original anime came up with when they didn't have much source material to work with since the manga was ongoing.

I am not sure if you are remembering accurately. The anime was way more episodic and it took a considerable amount of time to get to a point. Even throwing in a bunch of filler. The manga got to it's point rather quick and focused stonger on a narrative. Being hard to follow at times though I can understand but I believe the manga has a better story. The anime was very weak in comparison and vaguely took on some similar themes.

As someone who read Trigun after watching the anime I can assure you it isn't.
The story of Trigun and the whole setting in the manga absolutely BTFOs it so hard that it erased the anime plot of my mind and I did watch it twice. I can only thing of the manga moments, not a single moment from the anime.
Also, did anyone try to color the nu Vash hair black to see how it would look if they adapted the manga?
 
Jesus that Trigun anime really doesn’t look good, CG is not a good sign and of course they modernized Vash’s hair. What the actual fuck are his and Knive’s haircuts as kids? I figured it’d be a straightforward adaptation of the manga but apparently not.

What did they do to Vash? Trigun is one of my all time favorites and I hate how this looks so much.

It's like it's trying to be Promare but failing miserably.

Unless Rem still gave Vash that haircut, in which case then it's still true to his character, but at the same time, does no one on the character design team know how to actually fucking design characters? I'm getting Tokyo Babylon reboot flashbacks in which that has to be placed on hold because the art designer for that was caught plagiarizing the clothes instead of just fucking adapting the clothes straight from the manga for some ungodly reason. I'm sick of studios modernizing everything because of shitty young'uns not willing to give older works a shot if they don't look modern.

And the worst part?

Proof that this look CAN WORK in 2D. But nah, CG it allllll up! Fuck you, TOHO Animation, for making this piss-poor decision. Studio Orange can do some great work, but something about this just isn't working out.
 
God /a/ has been losing it's collective mind the last few days, it's been pretty funny.
Today's mind break is a tomo-chan wa Onnanoko anime was apparently leaked, which I know was pretty popular and infuriating on the board.

Right now, this anime is sacrificing the designs of the past to be more "modern." and if the results are anything to go by, they're already fucking it up.

The CG animation alone convinces me that this is a low-effort rehash. If I wanted cel-shading I'd play a 3D JRPG.

If that was their intent, that is already an awful decision for taking "inspiration" from Studio Trigger because while their art can be gorgeous, it has a candy flavour style that goes against the gritty animation people love about Trigun.

It doesn't help that Studio Trigger writing quality can range from decent to utter crap.
 
I'm also wondering, since Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko is finally getting an anime, why didn't this get an adaption

Or even this

Heck I'm surprised this never got adapted

I just finished the Cells at Work manga. The last chapter of the book is the Covid-19 one. I wonder if it was involved with the whole series being concluded. I can see someone not wanting to write in such a climate.
