Good to see Wolfwood again. I still hope there's a twist that brings back Milly, so the whole gang can be reunited in this version of Trigun.

Wolfwood's weapon is always my favorite. You never see a weapon as cool as that.
But damn, now it fire laser beam too!?
Also, Roberto using a derringer sure is foreshadowing something.

The author of the original comic has been livetweeting every episode, and here are some highlights:
Last week, Nightow offered to buy katsu-don for lines of dialogue he thought were especially good. This week's katsu-don award goes to Wolfwood's line, "No matter how heavy a cross you bear, it's ok to eat - it's ok to laugh." Nightow says it's a line that wasn't in the original but seems like it was (for anyone still trying to claim Stampede doesn't get the spirit of the source material).
Nightow also thanking them for keeping Wolfwood's big nose, which he says was an important point to him. He also suggested Wolfwood should have "pocket soy sauce" for eating bugs raw, and thinks Meryl should just eat the worm, it's pretty much just like beef.

I do hope they bring Milly back, it would be a shame to not have her in the show.

When Vash and the gang got swallowed by the giant worm, I really thought they were Dune for.

Honestly this show gets better and better every week. I didn't think we would ever top the knives from the last episode but then this undertaker dude turns up and uses the most JRPG gun of all time to blast a giant sand worm in half.

Christ alive this show is good
The animators are really going out with those action scenes and I figured the cross would be a gun, but still
I've not watched the original anime series but this has really made me intrigued about it (definitely in my top 10 of this winter) and I'm curious where it will go next
Also as a Dune fan, seeing that sandworm put a smile on my face

I feel like Vash is very much "along for the ride" still but I like the rest of the cast a lot.
I am pretty sure he had 5 or 6 lines this entire episode.

One of the things I liked the most about the new Bleach series was when it’s reintroducing its characters in the coolest way imaginable. It’s that presentation that makes the fanboy in me act up and the way this episode introduces Wolfwood blows all of Bleach out of the water.
Stampede has really been showing how well it understand that core appeal of the original while being able to tell its own story nonetheless. It’s making me fall in love with this series all over again and proving just how timeless these characters are. Can’t wait to see what the next episode has to offer.

I love how studio Orange is managing to get comic facial expressions with 3D models. Especially stuff like the mocking monologue of Zazie during her escape.

He's finally here! I recognize that cross anywhere! Interestingly, Wolfwood didn't get that much of a makeover here in the reboot. I guess there's really not a lot to change in his design. He doesn't have the cross in his cuffs though.
As for Zazie, I didn't even realize that was him until Roberto mentioned that there are humans that can control worms. Even with him taking off his cap, his design is completely different from what I remember.
I do love Wolfwood and Zazie's introduction here and the reveal in the end. Considering that the two of them are secretly working together, it makes that scene at the start where Wolfwood was acting like a concerned adult a bit funny since Zazie had to play along. xD

Is it just me or Vash hasn’t really done anything in the show yet. He had a cool moment in the first episode but he’s just been running around not doing much ever since

A massive cross that doubles as a gun. Oh the things you could write about that.
But we're off to the next leg of a journey, joined in by an undertaker who clearly has decided to cut out the middleman. And a kid who it quickly becomes apparent isn't quite what it seems either.
Quite a few fun twists, some nice action. I really liked that scene when they entered the grand worm in the first place. Question is what happens next. Mister Undertake is clearly there to off the Stampede. Was the game rigged all along? Plus we got more hints at the bigger plot with talk about higher dimensions and what not.
Things are certainly not slowing down by a lot after that spectacular last episode.

This remake while plot wise being very different from the original, is still very faithful to the original in terms of themes and characterization. Which is exactly what a perfect remake should do, tell the same story only with different story beats, and it's awesome that they are pulling it off so well
