I'm not sure why the OG stans are so angry about it. I've watched 3 episodes of Stampede, then watched the old 98 version and read Trimax manga and I love everything. This reboot is also charming! I love how they decided to concentrate on the twins' dynamic from the beginning. I love the redesign. I love the new opening, it's very heartbreaking, and the song really captures the character of Vash. I LOVE the animation! It's a chef's kiss. I rewinded and reviewed a lot of parts for a few times. Small movements of Vash growing off the sand from his hair, or just minor finger movements of Nic when using Punisher... just so good for a 3D animation. One thing that I miss so far from the reboot is Mille. I just loved her character very much and she was an amazing foil character to Meryl. So far I haven't warmed up to Roberto yet, he could be as well as absent so far. But yeah, I would advise all the new watchers not to be discouraged by overly critical reviews.
