Vinland Saga. However, the anime with the most to prove to the anime community this season is Trigun Stampede, the CGI remake of the classic '90s anime Trigun

After watching its pilot episode, I will say that the anime is more than justifies its lifestyle.

Trigun Stampede, using studio Orange, is a fully CG animated retelling of studio Madhouse's 1990s sci-fi anime Trigun.

The story follows Vash the Stampede, a happy-go-lucky gunslinger with a six million dollar bounty on his head. Compared to other '90s

I watched the first episode of Trigun Stampede via Screener, and it's scheduled for a better day after today on Crunchyroll.

If you've seen David Leitch's latest action movie, The Bullet Train, Vash is like Brad Pitt's character Ladybug

You don't need to watch the OG series to see or reveal in Trigun Stampede thinking it's more of a retelling than below
