More information about the upcoming and criticized Trigun Stampede has surfaced courtesy of a brief interview from Anime Expo, disclosing that those in charge of the series expanded upon creator Yasuhiro Nightow’s manga, along with redesigning and restructuring it, which might have some quite concerned.
Website Comic Book interviewed creator Yasuhiro Nightow and producers Kiyotaka Waki and Katsuhiro Takei, asking them if there were any difficulties when it came to implementing the new art style, with Kiyotaka Waki providing a response:
“Everything started out with Nightow and then designing the concept art and character concepts. However, these designs are not something that we could use to use as a design for animation. So, director Muto, he took the time to understand and interpret the designs before having actual designers interpret the looks for animation.”
Nightow also spoke briefly about how the series will differentiate itself from the original:
“So when they were developing this Trigun, I saw that they were taking elements from my comic and expanding it, rearranging it, restructuring it, redesigning it, and adding depth to it. They’re trying to raise the quality of the show as well. I thought that there might [be] some changes, but once they took all of the series in and started adapting it onto film, I felt that this is still Trigun. This is Trigun. I want the fans to know is that I really want them to watch this. And after watching, I think that you’ll feel the same way as me – that this in some way is also Trigun.”
Trigun Stampede can earn either glowing renown or immeasurable scorn when the show airs in 2023.
“this in some way is also Trigun” – right. The author sounds like he’s trying to convince himself that this abomination is decent, because he’s getting a paycheck. Not surprised how weak he is, considering the philosophy of the original Trigun.
This is s♥♥t and forever will be s♥♥t. Just continue where the OG left off .
the philosophy of the original Trigun. ??
what was that ?
Absurd pacifism.
Why does it look like awful CG?
Looks like pretty good CG to me.
Because it is awful CG.
thanks, it looks like s♥♥t, i’ll be sure to never watch it.
f♥♥k you
“Everything started out with Nightow…..these designs are not something that we could use to use as a design for animation”
It pisses me off when incompetent studios make excuses on why they can’t properly adapt a work. CG animation can rival that of traditional hand drawn styles. However, to do it properly still takes talent, time, and resources, which many of these studios don’t seem to have.
Looks like crap
