Here's Why Trigun Stampede Has The Best CGI In All Of Anime 

Same! I go back and observe and break it down. Some key moments for me were how he paused and loaded his gun quickly, how he readjusted himself to run away and shoot before going behind the pillar, and then dynamically running and positioning him self safely mid-air to bust through the window. That whole final scene leaves me in absolute awe...the ost choice as well leading through those scenes was a masterpiece. Its going to be hard to top an anime for a while for me just on the sheer amount of love put into this project. I can't wait for 2025 to get our season 2.

limited? by what? the animation in the original was pretty great

@@Kodaiva Limited animation is a technique used to save frames. There is little movement. Trigun 98 has limited animation during many of its episodes. Compare it to Cowboy Bebop which has much more movement.

@@ade1174 Limited animation technique vs Animation that is limited is 2 *very* different things. Og trigun was fantastic, especially in the opening bar scene.

@@MelloCello7 I think the person explained that in the rest of the sentences pretty fairly. I don't get people who are so offended when someone say they like the new one lol I mean it's fair to say that CGI animation from 2023 would have better animation(as in, motion wise) than the anim from 1998 of course.

​@@yori8553 I appreciate that you think that was explained fairly, but in reality, though accurate, is ironically an extremely *limited* definition that has since outgrown that rudimentary objective. Legendary studios and artists, such as studio trigger (I apologize for not knowing the individual artists name) and even legendary American animation directors, such as Genndy Tartakovsky, have used limited animation to great affect to confound and relay motion in a way that derives a more compelling narrative in a fewer amount of frames. This takes an immense amount of skill, experience, and talent at the craft to execute. We would not have the iconic hard hitting style of Dragon Ball Z or the highly influential Jojo multi punch without its skillful implementation. Don't get me wrong, I love gorgeous straight ahead animation as much as the next guy, but this is an anime hallmark. to reduce this technique to an inferior qualitative statement is to deny the skill and hard work of many talented Japanese animators.

Fascinating stuff, although I hope the human touch on the cgi side of things still stick around, there's something so charming about Goshozono's God awful 3d backgrounds in black clover lmao, I hope the 3d department doesn't look sterile in the future...

Yeah, it's same as LOD in games. they reduce the polygon based on distance.

@@ProbablyPretentious Unreal Engine 5 has something called nanite which does that in real time.

It didn't feel 2D to me. Maybe some random details or backgrounds. It isn't the future and it wasn't groundbreaking, it just got animators that knew what they are doing (though looking at how disney found good looking style for animation and stuck to it for so long instead of trying different styles seems that finding good looking 3D animation style may feel groundbreaking). It sure has tasteful style (though I like dirty style of the old one more, this one looks to clean for this setting) and doesn't brake immersion like chainsawman does at some moments (especially in 1st ep... and especially on larger screen, I feel like they may have focused to much on shocking with realistic animation instead of natural looking animation what Trigun Stampede did right, I'm not saying that chainsaw man was bad, it looks great but has some immersionbreaking moments where it feels "not right").

@@D_Wito That's what I felt looking the video. Much more groundbreaking to me was Guilty Gear Xrd and Sign. Not shows, but that's, to date, still the best example of 3D made to look like anime animations. In the case of Trigun Stampede, smear frames are lacking, the limited framerate feels weird (I mean if they're really removed AFTER rendering, that's just not how 2D animation works, some things are drawn at different framerates, especially background stuff) and it also seems to lack any sort of squashing and stretching. All techniques implemented by Guilty Gear which, when graphics are turned up to the max with AA sometimes look almost indistinguishable from drawings. I mean it still looks incredible, but I can't believe we're not holding 3D trying to be 2D to a higher standard when there ARE examples of it.

@@DevilBlackDeath Yeah, that's it

ITS THE SAME PEOPLE?? HOLY 😭😭

tbh i wish Orange would help mappa with their CGI for chainsaw man aot and JJK and their other works.

I think it's just asumption that is taken due to characters designs being much worse than the orginal

@@kaspersmok9633 I don't think the character designs are much worse at all. They're simply representing a different, more playful sci-fi aesthetic, which I think was executed very well. There was definitely a lot of thought and love put into the redesigns. I especially like the detail of Vash now wearing a very modern project SEEDS jacket and Meryl wearing one from her university, making them stand out from the more rural places they visit. It's a neat reminder for how the development differs between settlements on the same planet, since the story is centered much more around plant-energy now. We already know that Trigun Stampede is somewhat structured like a prequel, so I believe there's definitely a chance that the "90s space western" aesthetic could gradually return as the settlements are losing energy. It does make me sad that they toned down Wolfwood's muscle boobs, though. That's a huge loss...😔

It's the gatekeeping thought of, when something is CGI it is automatically bad. It also tells me that most of these people do not understand how animation actually work and it is truly saddening to see.. Glad Trigun Stampede is getting the love it deserves because you can tell there was so much love and effort put into this. both love for the classic anime style aswell as what the future CGI can provide!

@@outoforder8791 The lack of Plants because Knives stole them is a good reason for them to go back to the "90s space western" aesthetic (or at least something more similar to it), I didn't think of that before 😲now that just increases my hopes that the character designs will look more like those in Trigun Maximum. Don't get me wrong, I liked the designs in this show but I couldn't deny that I got so excited when Vash had his original hairstyle in ep 12. It's also possible that his new red coat would look more similar to the original since it was either burned up due to him falling like a meteor or he left it behind in the wreckage like in the manga. He could even get a new prosthetic arm that transforms into a gun like in the original since it got absorbed into the Angel Arm. Hell, he could also get the shades with the zigzag arms since if you look closely, his purple shades got cracked during the fight. I'm also holding out hope that even Meryl would get her iconic cape since she's using her derringers now. I'm not sure about Wolfwood though, but at the very least I'm hoping he'll call himself a priest in season 2 since in the contract that Conrad gave him in ep 10, he was called a Pastor. But I don't know, I'm just excited for what they'll do in season 2 ♥

probably watched it on the lowest resolution

Or UFO Table.

​@@Gr33kboiufotable dosen't have insane Character acting for their shows

@@user-og6pb6dd5p Have you not watched Demon Slayer?

@@Gr33kboi great action animation isn't the same as character acting tho... what are you on about? I swear demon slayer fans be smoking some weird shit

how does demon slayer have bad character animation not even a superfan but i dont see that as a flaw it has

It is “corrected” in HnK, but a more accurate description would be that it’s a blended, a composite animation. I actually quite like that they did it, it’s practically seamless, and I think that it’s a style that could definitely use more exploring.

Just read through the articles you linked. My eyes are watering 🥲 The amount of effort they put into development and production is amazing.

I don't think cg in anime being good will ever be the norm as long as the anime industry stays like this. Anime is too cheaply made and produced too quickly for cg to turn out good. Technology won't make up for a lack of talent and time, if it did we wouldn't have cg from movies in 2006 looking better than 90% of what comes out these days.

That took longer, and I don't think the two are fair to compare at all. 7 years for a less than 2 hour movie vs 5 years for an entire series. The end results speak for itself

Because (imo) flow school animation feels more americanized than classic kannada style animation

@@Sakaiproject12 oo I'll check it out and hopefully it's even somewhat like arc system works' work(no pun intended) on dragon ball fighterz

Yeah, I think there's a big diifferennce in how ufotable handles CGI elements as compared to a studio like MAPPA. Whereas MAPPA goes for maximum integration with the 2d elements, Ufotable often seems to lean towards pseudo realism, and don't really try to blend them in from a modeling and texture standpoint.

There's a great video on how Arcsys used a lot of the same technics mentioned here to create Xrd.

He mentioned that he's watching almost all the seasonal anime so he will probably get around to making a video on that.

@@DIO_Brando_db except for G-Witch which is the best sequel this season

@@thomasffrench3639 ok. I disagree, but that's fine. It's definitely top 2, but it's second to Demon Slayer in terms of visuals and a bit less fun to watch imo. Also if Vinland pt2 counts then that's easily #1!

@@doodlegame8704 that’s completely fair

I'm already watching it lmao, I pretty much watch every seasonal out there...

@@ProbablyPretentious i wonder what are your thoughts on that anime 👀

Lmao it's just good ol' gag fun, I love it

Yep it had beautiful CGI

Visually Wise is much more infenior tho. Maybe not The direction

@@user-og6pb6dd5p Idk mayn, that opening bar scene was crazy, but actually cannot judge cuz I have not seen the newer, I openly admit I'm speaking out of pure bias (well warranted bias, but bias never the less(

@@MelloCello7 well i can confirm is much infenior Animation Wise definitely or compositing Wise. The direction is What these two can have competition with each other

@@user-og6pb6dd5p well inferiority is subject to the standards of greatness thereof, and while I appreciate your take, that standard of greatness varies vastly from person to person

@@MelloCello7 fair but some things are not Subjective

He's him. Literally.

You are not wrong to hate most CGI anime because what he said in the video about most of it looking really bad and out of place in anime is true.

Animation producer
