I think it’s a mixed bag. The new show is OK but I would probably read the manga first if you’ve seen the 90s show but read the manga yet.
This is basically “yet another take on Trigun” so it shares elements of both the old anime and the manga (Trigun + Trigun Maximum) but remixes it.
I think the direction could be better and the music isn’t as good as the original show, but it’s fun if you go in with the right expectations.

This is the second season of the reboot. The first season came out a couple of years ago, and was called Trigun Stampede.
It got a falr amount of hate from some of the fans of the original, mostly because it deviated from the original by introducing Knives and telling the story of the seed ships and the twins and Rem and the crash very early, and by introducing Meryl, without Milly, and later Wolfwood, both also very early. So there’s very little of the goofball Vash from the early episodes of the original, so there isn’t that dramatic tonal shift later on. It’s more serious from the start.
I liked it myself. Technically it’s quite good - both the visials and the sound. As far as story goes, though it’s somewhat different, it basically takes the place of the first half dozen or so episodes of the original, and ends with Lost July, which is episode 6 of the original.
This series is picking up immediately after Lost July and has introduced Milly and reintroduced Wolfwood (Meryl already got to know him last season but Milly just met him) and so far is following the original fairly closely, and has been good so far.

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out. I have needed something new to watch.
