Sort of. It’s like Full Metal Alchemist vs Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

As in, the original anime run significantly departed from the source material story found in the manga. This will be a faithful retelling of the mangas story. It’s a huge difference in plot tbh.

Edit: Rewatched it. Trailer is not exactly manga accurate either…wtf is going on.

Trigun?! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time

It's been a minute since I've read, but I remember being similarly impressed with Trigun Maximum as I was with the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. There are a lot of similar well addressed themes of purpose, sacrafice, redemption, and manipulative world ending threats from things/abilities that were supposed to be humanities salvation. I know the community is very biased, and the FMA manga remains probably my favorite, or if not - 1a, b, or c...but Trigun Maximum ranks up there as well imo.

Don't let the charming but rushed quirkiness of the original anime fool you.

EDIT: this series does not look manga accurate though so oh well. Would have loved to see a manga accurate Angle Arms fight finally adapted for animation

Okay but...where the fuck is Milly Thompson? I'm willing to give this version a chance but how do you replace her with a character who comes off as another straight man role that Meryl already fills? Even the change from Insurance to Reporter I'm okay with but there's a dynamic that Milly brings that bounces so well off the other 3.

Imagine going back in time and asking your 1996 self to borrow their burned Trigun discs because the remake from 28 years in the future somehow has worse animation.

On the plus side - this looks cool. I'm genuinely quite excited.

However - where is Milly?!?

Is this supposed to be the “Brotherhood” to the original Trigun where they redo the ending to match more closely with the manga?

I would agree that it’s unlikely. FMA:B Is a masterpiece. But that’s not what I meant. It’s a similar situation of why it’s happening (ie to do a faithful adaptation because the first entry diverged so strongly).

Yeah fingers crossed that it's good. FMAB's first episode was all original content and not from the manga, and it existed only to help explain the story to newcomers, and more importantly, gave a bunch of action sequences that they used for trailers prior to release. Maybe a similar situation is going on here, but this looks more like a reimagining to me.

It looked beautiful, and with the lore and who the characters were, you could explain away why their movements were so weird because they weren't human. Here, the character's movements are so floaty, like they don't experience gravity or inertia

I don't disagree with you at all.
I like the animation they show here but it's not Trigun to me.

That fade haircut looks...wrong.

It's just LotL is why people say that about Orange.

I love it, but I don't think I'll ever stop hating 3d animated shows that'd look great as video games but look shoddy and cheap as shows.

> Why do people say studio Orange does cg animation well?

Back when they first started doing 3DCG, they were absolutely the best at it. Their animation was stiff, but it wasn’t choppy or stuttery like other 3DCG series of the time. The mech fights in Majestic Prince were fluid and made a lot of lesser 3D mech series look terrible in comparison.

I am not a fan of their style, but it’s always been substantially better than anything else in the 12-24 episode bracket. The only really bad thing about the trailer was the art style with the soft lines/shading, the animation of characters was way more fluid than their past work.

I don't like how so many anime fans treat source material as sacred. If you want to see the most faithful version of "Trigun" possible, just read the manga.

This is clearly not a faithful retelling. It is using the characters, setting, and themes to tell a unique story. A "remix", effectively. Isn't that way more interesting than just a straight-up panel-to-screen conversion? Doesn't this give us the opportunity to be surprised, or to explore new ideas?

It may be fluid, but it's very floaty, and unstylized. It looks like the characters are unaffected by gravity or inertia a lot of the time. I just don't see any positives compared to 2d animation quality-wise.

I agree with you on the float and wonky physics, but it’s not “unstylized.” This is very stylized compared to other 3DCG especially when compared to the garbage shoveled out by Netflix backed studios. Just because we don’t like the way it looks, doesn’t make it unstylized.

It seems like they’re trying to shy away from the default “3DCG with hard lines that is a bad imitation of 2D animation” that a lot of studios use. I don’t like it, but it looks way better than a lot of other seasonal shows. Maybe I just watch a lot more garbage than you do, but this just isn’t that bad.

> I just don’t see any positives compared to 2d animation quality-wise.

Good 2D animation costs way more than this type of 3DCG. That’s one of the reasons 3DCG has had such a bad wrap for so long is that it was used as a cost saving measure and it was so glaringly obvious. Now some studios use it as it can fit the style they’re going for.

Trigun is a good sized IP, but it doesn’t have the unlimted budget that larger franchises have. Full Metal Panic had a good sized following and we all saw how the S4 CG turned out.

Like I said I don't see the benefits quality-wise not money wise, and compared to 2d animation, even studio Orange's animation feels shackled and held back. If it was animated like "into the spider-verse" or "arcane" were, it'd be awesome, but let's be real, it has no where near the budget those shows had, so what we're left with is showes that just would have looked better in 2d (aside from Hoseki no Kuni)

People are shitting on the animation, but I kind of like it. It's definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be. That's for sure.

This looks terrible…Maybe it’s because I adore the original series, but everything seems off compared to what came before.
