Got back into Demon Slayer since Netflix seems to be on the ball and adding the new episodes. Finished the Mugen Train arc and getting ready to start the Entertainment District.

Entertainment District arc is incredible. So far the current season is good, but hasn't quite reached those heights yet, outside of one particularly spectacular moment.

Adapting any anime that has a distinct art style is a fail by default. You lose so much of its identity right out of the gate.

Also, jesus wept, that looks horrible.

Just leave anime alone.

Wonder how much stuff they are going to cram into the first season considering the manga alone has been going on since 1997 and Netflix's habit of murdering series the moment they don't hit arbitrary numbers or cost too much to continue.

lmao so Luffy has gear 5 in the anime now and they went full looney tunes. Ridiculous animations and sound effects ripped straight out of a road runner bit. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen lol.

I decided to watch the Trigun reboot even though the animation in the previews looked weird and terrible and there were clear changes made and...well.

I think I might like this version better tbh. The story feels much more cohesive this time and flows way better imo. Pleasantly surprised to say the least.

I rewatched the Kenpachi fight from part 1 again. Might actually top demon slayer for most gorgeously animated fight in recent years.

Re: Trigun

SPOILER: show
As best I can tell, Trigun: Stampede is a reimagining and seems to be in prequel territory at this point, but with elements of the original included in this earlier time frame.

You can tell that in the context of the original series, this definitely takes place before. In fact it basically leads up to the precursor event that is constantly referenced in the beginning of the original (The July Incident) as to why Vash has that insane bounty on his head. However, there are multiple events from the original that are retold here as if they are in the present; there are tons of characters that Vash supposedly meets for the first time in the original that he mixes it up with in Stampede, so he should have clearly known these people in the original if it was a true prequel.

That said, while I absolutely love the original, this easily feels like the superior version thus far. Everything flows better and because of the "prequel" ground they tread, you end up with a much better understanding of what is actually going on with the overall story. Vash/Knives are much better explained, as are the "Plants" and where they come from and what they actually are. The actual origins of the humans on the planet and project SEEDS are fleshed out. And there are other factions (2 more besides humans and Knives/the Plants), for lack of a better term, that are revealed and seem to have a major role to play in the future. The final scene and post credit reveal set up the 4th side in the story as being a major factor in the next season. The ending also sets up the reveal in season 2 of that character everyone noticed was conspicuously absent from this version for no apparent reason.

All in all, I absolutely love this show. Can not wait for season 2 to see where they take it next. Will it follow more of the events of the original now that the timelines are in the same place? How will that mix with other sides at play now, especially the one from the post credit scene? Will they tread completely new ground that makes the next season seem more like a sequel to the original instead? I've no idea, but I'm hyped.

tl;dr They Final Fantasy 7 Remaked Trigun and they did a really good job.

SPOILER: show
While not actually "spoiling" anything about Trigun, I'm putting this here more for a formality.

Which is why I take it more as something akin to every version of Tenchi Muyo, Ducktales (2017) or arguably either of the follow-ups to Masters of the Universe (1983)* : not so much a sequel or a prequel but it's its own telling of the story... it's good for some "oh!" moments if you're familiar with the earlier work, but each instance stands on its own without needing prior source material for any sort of anchor.

*I say arguably, because even though Revelations is it's own series, it is a sort-of sequel to both the '83 AND the '02 versions of the series timewise while simultaneously retconning things from both of those versions that adds to, incorporates, and contradicts the previously established cartoon lore from one or both sets all at the same time. But that's another discussion to be had elsewhere if at all.

Watching Baki Hanma on Netflix rn. Pretty funny show. Not the best thing I've ever seen but it's a decent enough time and some of the characters make me chuckle constantly.

One of these days I'll actually start Demon Slayer and maybe even finish off Overload.

Also the day I've dreaded is coming soon as I will have to watch Dragon Ball GT with my girlfriend here soon.

Watching Higurashi. The 2020 version. Think I might like this one better. It's not as in your face with the psychological mind fucks and brutality. It still has all that, but it subtley builds to those moments a lot more efficiently.

Besides the option of just not existing, GT probably would have been better off as just being a one saga epilogue type special to DBZ instead of its own separate big series with multiple sagas.

Only things about GT I remember is Goku's feud with the evil Dragons, Goku's then ultimate Super Saiyan form that was a lot more heelish compared to his prior forms, and little Goku.

Fun fact is I actually watched that series almost in full twice. The first time in Japanese because a digital cable channel that I forgot its name used to air anime shows in Japanese and then later in English on Toonami.

Hot take: OG DB is the peak of the franchise and DBGT is more like OGDB so its better than DBZ by the transitive property

Well they both do have a little Goku as the star of the show so that does makes sense.

To my taste its the general writing structure. DB and DBGT are about the characters. DBZ is about powers. Most of DBZs run time is about getting powerful enough to vanquish a foe. That doesnt resonate with me very strongly.
DB and DBGT are about characters going on adventures. Goku might discover powerful treasures but the focus is on the adventure. DBGT has some power level stuff but its a secondary focus.

Im not shitting on DBZ though. Its fine. But i dont like it half as much and OG.

Super is similar to GT where it has aspects of both but its like....75% Zs methodology and 25% OG.

OGs structure is so good though. Go on an adventure. After adventure theres the annual tourny. Repeat. And the progression comes from seeing how far he's come organically year over year. Really satisfying structure

I too always like the OG Dragonball over DBZ somewhere at my parent's house still have all the Dragonball manga volumes. I remember liking GT trying to get back to that a little bit with having adventures and comedy. I didn't dislike DBZ but wish it would have "fully committed" to switching to Gohan as the main protagonist.

I need to read more Dragonball Super, I hear there are some bits where they actually put some shine on Master Roshi and Tienshinhan after so long....

Db, with its smaller cast, was really able to shine everyone up. By the time you get to super you have some major cast bloat leaving a ton of loved character behind. (through no ones fault mind you, its inevitable in a run that doesnt kill characters off.)

I actually think super has done a better job of keeping other supporting characters relevant. They still fall far behind goku and vegeta of course, but you get to see characters like roshi, krillin, and android 18 have cool moments again.

Yamcha still sucks though.

They tried to build a few peoole up. Dunno how well it worked with the fandom, im not that plugged in. I was specifically referring to some characters they dont even really appear anymore. Which is reasonable obviously.

You need to show some respect to one of the three strongest earthlings on planet earth.

That is if you exclude anyone born on the planet that doesn't share Alien Blood, humans converted into cyborgs or a kid that happened to be reincarnated from a mystical being.
