Story-wise, a notorious disappointment considering how good Stampede was. Animation-wise, it was still fantastic.

Still more tolerable than the OG series tho.

5/10 - Can Orange animate Land of the Lustrous S2 now, please?

I watched the whole thing, but in the end, I didn’t really understand much of it.

I enjoyed Season 1 (not as much as OG Trigun) but this Season 2 disappointed me in unexpected ways. Especially it lacks in characterization, Vash remained the same weekling until the end. And the fake deaths were annoying.
4/10, very disappointing version, I'll stick to original Trigun.

Stampede was decent, Stargaze was a huge let down.

I still do not like cours, they should just give us the entire season.

This was genuinely an awful end to an awful season. At least Stampede was an interesting change to the story with proper stakes, but this was just. Garbage. Constant nothing episodes that didn't care about their story at all. This episode was the culmination of all of that. What a spectacular waste of time and talent.

i liked it a lot. really heart stirring, made me cry. i sympathized with knives and then with Vash. The cast was cool and I liked the episode. But I know I'm stupid and weird and bad I guess.

I really liked Stampede, but this was just nowhere near as engaging. There were a couple moments where I thought, "Ok, this is kind of interesting." However, those moments never seemed to pay off in a way that exceeded, "kind of interesting." Was happy to spend some time watching Milly again, at least. I always thought the OG was very mid, so I was excited for the new direction after Stampede. This one was more disappointing than anything else.

I really just need to try the manga in order to give Trigun a fair shake. A lot of the concepts are cool and I do enjoy the setting and several of the characters, but unfortunately the anime adaptations have mostly failed to keep me fully immersed in the story.

Forgot to mention the CG which I thought was really well done, once again. With all of the atrocious CG found in anime, it is nice to see it implemented with exceptional care and effort. I will always prefer 2D, but credit where credit is due in this case.

And it's finished. Didn't like this as much as season 1 but it was still fine overall. Definitely some beautiful visuals, though the story was kinda eeeeh in a lot of spots.

This, Stampede and the mvoie, terrible additions to the franchise. Knives is more boring than what he was in the original.

After the finale i felt mostly confused and disappointed tbh. I absolutely adored Stampede and it will stay in my favourites. The second season felt rushed in the pacing, characters felt more one-dimensional- They tried to roll out so many strings, old and new, that they didnt have time to actually develope them in the runtime.

I really want to love the 2nd season too but for now I could not connect with it.
The emotional peak was ep 1-3 and 8. This last episode just confused me in both Vash's and Nai's actions. Having a 'happy' ending irked me a little. I want to see Vash happy, but I could not imagine him living out his life when we saw him a few seconds ago trying to sacrifice himself for his brother like???
Meryl is supposed to be our main narrator since stampede but it seems they've forgotten that, and also to develope Meryls character. Milly used to be such a nice addition in the OG anime with her own values and ideals that add to the story and other characters, but here ... she couldve also just not existed.

I could go on like this. All in all, this season could sadly not keep up with its own first season.

I will rewatch it all one day, and maybe figure out what they wanted to focus on in this season story-wise.
Of course though, the animation was impressive, so were the fight-choreos and especially the soundtrack.

Vash escapes Knives, Knives becomes the sacrifice and we live happily ever after. Seeing Vash with black hair feels weird though haha. This season was alright, I enjoyed Stampede a bit more but regardless this was a fun time.
