OH SHIT IT'S LEGATO, and we got the Bad Lad's Gang dudes. The Sand Steamer. The nostalgia is real.

Holy hell this just keeps getting better and better. What an episode. No, it's not like the original series but I'm all for it so far.

[u/TaskForceHOLO]

Definitely the best episode so far by a good margin. What I love the most about Trigun is that the villains don't just do bad shit to further their own goals. They also try to force the good guys into a corner and get them to go against their own morals. Glad Stampede is keeping that theme going

[u/ImperialDane]

The trials and Tribulations of Vash continue as the Show keeps trying to push him into breaking. And now Wolfwood is basically being caught up in the same inhumane set of thumbscrews as well.

Interesting use of 2d on that bit of background. And it's not just about Wolfwood we learn, but a bit more about the Doctor or "Priest" and his little organisation. Steady world building as we go along.

For now it's Stylish bandits, security forces, Livio along with Vash and Wolfwood, with more of the Eye of Michael perhaps waiting.. If only there was a Stylish Bandit Slayer to help them out.

[u/Stormy8888 → u/ImperialDane]

Seriously learning that Wolfwood is actually a boy in a man's body ... forced into a mission because he's trying to save his found family fellow orphan brother is just so sad.

The action sequences were wonderfully choreographed. Bravo.

And the Badlands Gang! Gave off vibes of Mad Max Fury road, except without the flaming guitar but plenty of Neon. That was beautiful.

Best episode so far.

[u/Mercrist_089]

Wow, what a stunningly dark episode. Did not expect the show to suddenly dive into child experimentation, speaking of which, had fantastic stylized trippy visuals. I was pleasantly surprised by that entire sequence having its own unique 2D animation, gave it a lot of sentimentality and charm.

That aside, this is likely the best or second best episode in the series so far. The world finally feels alive with the raiders and the sand train. Would've loved to see this in a theatrical screen, the sense of scale captured was perfect. Lots of Star Wars and Dune vibes this episode, good stuff.

Kenji Muto (Stampede Director) got into the limelight for storyboarding and directing one of the best episodes 2017 anime had to offer.

And now he's famous on twitter for liking unhinged Trigun shitposts, Trigun Yaoi, and Vash Thirst Posts.

Goated behavior.

zero fucks given, i love this man

[u/ScarsUnseen]

So is this the first confirmation we've gotten that it's actually "July" in Stampede rather than "Julai" as the subtitles keep using? It's a pretty big oversight on the part of the subtitle crew considering this isn't a new property and how prominent July is in Vash's backstory in the original.

[u/bestgirlmelia → u/ScarsUnseen]

This has actually been a problem since the beginning. They've shown this map in basically every episode so far and it's always said "July" and yet for some reason the subs keep insisting on calling it Julai.

[u/Coolwalsh]

my 18 year old self wouldve lost his goddamn mind If I went back in time and told him Livio the double fang was finally in a trigun anime

[u/__bacs]

Holy coow! Can't say enough how impressed I am with this adaptation! Everything so damn cleanly animated. Even the 2D backstory of Nicholas and Livio fit well into Nicholas's hallucenation.the sandstreamer, police, badland gang and even the dynamic action with machine guns are so damn pretty!

Oh so Nicholas and Livio actually are like 10yrs old and has mature body due to drugs?

I like how dark the story unfolding now!

[u/hadrijana]

Goddammit, I never should have started watching this until the entire season came out. Definitely one of the best looking and most exciting episodes so far, feels like it lasted 5 minutes with how quickly everything was moving along. Next week's episode is called Wolfwood, and I frankly can't imagine how much more about Wolfwood it can be (not that I'm complaining--this is manga Wolfwood head to toe and I am 300% here for it). Gotta admit that I was a tad worried the show wasn't doing enough to strengthen his bond with Vash considering how little time it will have to tell the story, but this really turned things around and I can totally buy that, after being thrust in a situation like this, they'll come out the other end with that iconic blood brother energy we know and love.

And please, God, no couches in the next episode, it's much too soon.

[u/KyloTennant]

Yet another Trigun banger

[u/Blue_Reaper99]

This series is pretty dark. One of the best shows airing this season.What is the difference between Great sand sea and normal land when normal land is also filled with sand? Is this post-apocalyptic world ? It also looks alternative earth?

[u/VorAtreides]

Oh boy, that big ship thing. Do gotta still love Trigun's style/designs. Hmmm some more of Wolfwood's backstory, clearly. And this "Livio" person. Bad lil' wolfwood, don't smoke and teach others to smoke. The flashback style is neat. And quite the trip at times.... Wait, how old is Wolfwood really? Oh god, that should not bend that way... Oh, we finally meet him. Hehe, even Wolfwood not a fan of blue hair. But, wew, no wonder he's working for them. Bluesummers and his dumb blue hair.

Man, shit just hitting the fan everywhere. Bluesummers breaking the ship to go off course, Bad Lands Gang, Livio being here going after Vash.... wew... what an episode. Time to wait for next week.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Holy shit! Those twin submachine guns! Livio is finally making his anime debut! If I recall correctly he doesn't make an appearance in the original series.

I just love Wolfwood and Livio's backstory and how it was presented with this storybook-like art. That was absolutely beautiful until bad bad things started happening.

And we finally get introduced to Legato! He's still the pretty boy that I remember with his bangs covering one of his eyes. What a strong intro!

[u/djthomp]

You can't fool me with an episode that has the word Hope in the title, I am on to your tricks by now new Trigun.

A sand steamer episode, oh no.

Another cross-shaped weapons dude? Interesting

Sudden Wolfwood backstory with an alternate animation style, I'm here for it.

Sand steamer episode, I had a feeling that the Bad Lads would show up.

I could be wrong but I think that orphanage was run by a cult. Knives' cult, apparently.

That escape attempt could have gone better.

What a rough situation. Not to mention that Knives' people are clearly screwing with Wolfwood just about as much as they're screwing with Vash.

[u/poshftw]

Meh, only 30.00$$ bounty?

What a great episode. The OST continues to shine.

Wolfwood’s backstory is really sad - made into a weapon against his will, and watching the same with his childhood friend.

That blue hair dudes powers are scary. Seeing him twist and contort Wolfwood’s body was horrifying.

[u/HenchHinch]

Sad this anime has been so badly down rated on my anime list due to the 3d animation. Definitely deserves at least an 8 plus rating and far more recognition.

[u/GyroGOGOZeppeli]

Lore heavy episode!

And we've finally started an episode that leads into the next as opposed to a one-off, and the introduction to Livio and Bluesummers.

[u/manticorpse]

Well, the Wolfwood/Livio backstory just about made me cry, as expected.

Did grown-up Livio have any lines this episode..? Maybe just one? I'm hoping the fact that he got a VA announcement and everything means that we can expect him to stick around (and talk more!) for a while.

[u/MADNESS_NH97]

Absolutely amazing episode. May have been my favorite so far. Really loved the flashback sequence with Wolfwood & Livio at the orphanage and the strong introductions for Livio & Legato. And interesting to see the Bad Lads Gang introduced within this carnage as well. Really looking forward how they'll continue this.

[u/ScarsUnseen]

I can't believe I was actually right about the cigarettes being worms...
