Reviews while I watch Trigun Stampede: Episode 3-5
This is going to be a hefty one. Hopefully I can catch up a majority of everything I missed before I get busy again next week. Let’s do this. Time for more gender envy.
Seven cities?
Oh yeah. The son died last time.
Oh god. There’s another one dead. And all of them have some on them. Why doesn’t he just blow all of them up?
That is a very creepy villain. All his mannerisms are so damn good. He is also clearly very injured/scarred with all the bandaging. We don’t see any of his face.
Who’s the random wanderer?
Oh god he really does care for the other people. He just got so serious. And he cares for any life really, even if they caused harm.
OOOOO its the twin! And the twin killed the bomber. I love the music in this!!!!
I just realised one his jacket, he has a logo that says project seeds. And with the brother saying that the plants belong to them, I’m assuming the facility that the brother destroyed was making the plants as a sustainable energy. It’s also why Vash knew so much about them at the start of the series. (sorry if this was known beforehand. I just only picked up on it now)
The brother is so creepy. Ooo. He’s been brought back in time and the gun has been destroyed. The scientist is definitely about to die.
They do really well with suspense and cinematography to portray the fear and chaos required for the shots to work. It is so damn good.
And now there are monsters. And the brother’s feet are covered in blood. Good imagery. Who’s this new guy?
Yissus this episode is harsh.
Ooo. do we get to see a face? Nope guess not. Partial one.
The weapon is really cool though. Terrifying but cool.
We’re getting snippets of the face.
DID THE CHILD JUST DIE??
And now Vash is being cast out.
----Between episodes thoughts----
What the actual fuck? This show was already mental but now. Wow. They did so well setting the brother up as a threat. What started as just a small look has become world destroying. Wow. Just wow. They’ve done so damn well with this.
----Episode 4----
For some reason my player has decided to break. Fun.
Ooo. New person.
I will say it again. This opening is sick. I need to check out a translation.
Thats a lot of bugs.
He got properly smacked. I feel like her driving is making things worse.
Oh god. Everyone is dead. Ominous noise is ominous. And there is a child as well.
This man is praying for others but doesn’t know the prayers. Who is this man and what is he trying to do while carrying a cross with him?
Worm?
Yes. Worm. They have been eaten.
The reporter does not trust this new man.
That is one nimble child. And now two people have been attacked.
Noice. Two very different ideologies. And he might be an assassin. Nice. And Roberto is gone.
I really like Vash’s personality. And they were just snorted out. Wow. And they’re back inside again. Noice. And the kid is a worm controller.
OOOOO. They look so cool!! I love the kid’s design.
The cross was a gun. Why am I not even surprised? That is such a convoluted design. It’s great. He must really hate worms.
New party member.
THEY’RE WORKING TOGETHER??
Ominous threat is ominous.
----between episode thoughts----
Not as crazy or heart wrenching as the previous one but an excellent introduction to the new characters - leading us to question their motives. Why does he want to be connected with Vash?
There is a morse code message in the closing.
But one that isn’t complete? Or wrong?
(.- ... .-.. -.--- --.)
The fourth letter has too many dashes, if you remove the last dash it is: ASLYG
Anyways. Just noticed that as I was typing the between. And it is blatantly morse code so yeah.
----Episode 5----
More new characters?
We actually know nothing about his arm, don’t we? Why does he have a metal arm?
Nicolas changed Vash’s nickname. Nice.
Spoopy threat for the episode. Unknown monster and child.
More shooting. And a creepy monster. Nicolas is helping him though.
The mother is going to sacrifice the child, isn’t she? Yeup. Imagine overhearing that. Oo the scene got smaller and smaller. That was cool.
The child was a thing from the past. Understandable. Oooooof. This backstory is harsh. It got worse!! Is the thing they’re fighting the child?
Fuck.
Vash knew the kid as a baby?
Oh no. He dead.
The wind came back when the child died.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Nicolas is working for the Brother!!!
----after thoughts----
Damn this show has such good writing, then the cinematography and the music/ It’s so damn good. I love it.
Also the morse code is the same at the end of every episode.
Edit:
Just found out that the morse code says Okaeri which means Welcome home. That is so touching and devastating. In the terms of the anime as a whole its nice for a welcome home as the anime is remade. But in the case of the story with the closing showing the connections between the twins, that is terrifying if its a welcome home from the brother. Vash is in serious trouble if it’s coming from him.
I love that though.

Hardcastle: Just like Gone in Sixty
Hey
Now that the glass pane has been obliterated
Where am I?
What am I?*
Hardcastle: (Existentially)
Bourbon: you are the new ford mustang that everyone loves
you aim
for clumsy romances on the beach
surprisingly large amounts of legroom on long road trips
great gas mileage for dad
and big smiles for all the girls at the high school
you zoom over the roof of the ford motor company and spin out in the air
and land perfectly at the intersection in front of the mall*
Hardcastle: Hott
I Blues Bros it
Right into the mall
Hope the patrons get out of my way VROOM VROOM
Everyone does in the movie
Turn on my windshield wipers just in case*
Bourbon: you use the windshield wipers to brush away all the cool ass bird remains on the glass
they slorpslop onto the ground
VROOM VROOM though wow
some girls sidestep the bird remains and hop on the hood of your sick ass ride
one writes FUCK on the dust on the windshield
*
Hardcastle: Fornicators!
I take them to Forever21 hell
Straight into the store
into the dressing room
into the wall
into the Ruby Tuesday's next to it*
the girls are
Fine
no trouble
No
Wounds
they order up a couple burgers and fries
one takes a XXXL cool guy shirt and wraps it around your chasis*
I just BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Damn my exquisite crafting and impeccable safety record
I spin out on the booths*
Bourbon: you're spinning out and everyone's cheering
when all of a sudden
a sweet black corvette rolls in
unannounced
Very
Very
Smooth
everyone goes
Ooo
you stop spinning out
your cool guy shirt lands perfectly
you look
very cool
But
this is
a competitor*
Hardcastle: Open my door into its fender
I pop my hood up and down to mimic laughter*
Bourbon: Whoaaaaaa

and pops a wheelie
the corvette rushes at you*
Hardcastle: I wait
Let them get between us*
Bourbon: they don't*
Hardcastle: I am crushed
Is this
sexual?*
Bourbon: Well

sexual competition
the corvette wants these chicks*
Hardcastle: Then I get up in its grill and HONK
I wiggle my suspension and flick my highbeams*
Bourbon: the corvette is blinded by the highbeams
and the honking
don't even get the corvette started
it vrorororororooroooms some more
and the chicks go
"no no there's only one way to settle this, boys"
"SIDESHOW"
"OUTSIDE"
"NOW"
the corvette backs up and kind of fake charges at you
just to see if you'll flinch
you don't
the corvette rolls outside
for the competition*
Hardcastle: I just line up with 'em you know
I bump grills
like a quick smooch
Okay how does this bisexual car frenzy end?
I growl it*
Bourbon: the chicks start playing the hip hop
and dancing
and that's how you know
the sideshow
has begun
the corvette swings itself all wild
allll wild
the sun heating up its all aluminum frame
wind whipping around it, makes the vroom sound like a song
you join in, wheels touching and spinning and the hot rubber smoke envelops the both you
when the clouds clear
your grills are touching
and you each bleat out a soft
Gentle
Hoooooonk*
Hardcastle: Assess the vette's disposition*
Bourbon: it's love*
Hardcastle: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*
Hardcastle: ( wait)
Bourbon: (what)
Hardcastle: (Don’t end at the end of this turn)
Hardcastle: (If you were)
Bourbon: (i was)
Bourbon: the corvette
goes
Hoooooooonk
: )
*
Hardcastle: Lead him out onto the great lost highways of America
We see it all
The Golden Gate Bridge
That big shithole in Iowa
We even go to the Grand Canyon
Just cruising along
laying on our horns
I pull up alongside and whisper in his ear
"Why did you have to go and say you loved me back there"
I nudge us both into the abyss of the Grand Canyon*
Bourbon: ten thousand years pass
humanity dies out
conquered by the great race of frog people
who build their own cars
and the cars, more shaped for frogs, rise up
and conquer the frog people
and now this new race of cars
agile, fast, and strong
are the highest animal the earth has ever known
great frog car archaeologists exhume your chassis
and his
the two of you
bonded together mid fall
out of love
and the extreme heat that love gave off
they take you two and put you in a museum
as evidence that cars
have always loved
loved much more than frog people ever could*
