Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? I absolutely adored this show; it's like a love letter to the early days of anime. First things first, I'm all about that ENG dub life. The voice cast is simply phenomenal, and they all deserve a round of applause. Johnny Yong Bosch is just on another level! And Austin Tindle? His emotional scenes and screams are top-notch. Hats off to everyone involved in the ENG dub!

Now let's talk story. I didn't watch the old STAMPEDE, so I had no idea what to expect. At first, I thought it looked pretty good, but then it hit me with Vash having a twin, space colonies, and the realization that we're not even on Earth anymore. Vash and Million Knives remind me of Akira & Ryo from Devilman Crybaby – one wants to save humanity, while the other wants to create a new world. I'm torn between the two sides because Million Knives is on a mission to eliminate humanity and bring his own kind to life, saving them from a life of endless labor and having their lifespans drained away as slaves. On the other hand, we have Vash, who believes that if humans were given a suitable planet to live on, they wouldn't need to exploit the "Plants" anymore. Vash is open-minded and somewhat naive, but his heart is in the right place. But that's what makes the story so gripping! The supporting cast is full of engaging, well-developed characters that keep the plot fresh and exciting. The doctor was a fantastic character. Even if you can't help but despise him for his actions (which, let's be honest, you should), it's still awesome to have characters like him in the mix. After all, a good story needs some complex, love-to-hate-'em characters to keep things interesting, right? Haha!

And the animation? Oh. My. Gosh. Like I don't know what to say here. The CGI is mind-blowing! Studio Orange has truly outdone themselves with some of the best action-packed CGI I've ever seen. The art style, the guns, the beams, the jumps, and the 360-degree views are all simply mesmerizing. Every frame is just perfect, and they didn't shy away from showing blood – a bold move that paid off.

The OST is the cherry on top, with vibes reminiscent of Interstellar's piano theme (seriously, watch that movie if you haven't). It's so fitting, and the opening and ending themes are the perfect companions to the show.

In conclusion, should you watch this "new" adaptation? Absolutely, without a doubt! From the very first episode, you can tell it's going to be a wild ride. Studio Orange went all out on this one, and I can't wait to see if they can top this incredible first season with a possible season two. Trust me, you won't regret watching STAMPEDE!
