Thank you very much for your reply and the 'Trigun' tip!
I was not too impressed by the cinematography, the pictures are nice, but nothing compared to the like of 'Drive' (... and Drive has basically no story, but I will enjoy it from time for time for its beautiful cinematography and soundtrack), 'Pan's labyrinth' or the first season of True Detective.
Very much agree with all you write, though.
It's funny because it's very clear that Trigun takes extremely direct inspiration from Dune (sandworms and all), but it has a much more human lead, while still set in a world with complex and big things going on.
One big difference is that in Trigun, space travel is basically a dead technology. Though it was once commonplace.
Stampede is a prequel, and supposedly Studio Orange will make more, so you can start there if you like, instead of the much older stuff.
And for anyone reading, I should probably mention it's a manga/anime.
Thanks, Trigun is airing on Netflix right now, looking forward to watch it!
Just a clarification, Trigun Stampede is not a prequel but is an alternate universe re-imagining of the original.
When the producers approached the creator about doing something very different from the source material, the creator mentioned that the first anime adaptation was "really excellent", and that "anything beyond the original anime is more of a bonus time, so you could pretty much do whatever you want to with it." They liked the idea of how, for example, there are different versions of Spider-Man in the Spider-Verse (so that the 90s Spider-Man show, Ultimate Spider-Man, etc., would all be very different from each other). This is them doing that for Vash and company.
It's very different in a lot of ways, you can think of it as an alternate universe from the original. I would strongly recommend first time viewers watch the original anime in its entirety first and then check out Stampede if they're itching for more of that world in a very different flavor.
