Wind's Goings On

Okay, so when I wrote that Trigun post my time started with me going, "hey, I wanna watch an anime" and I looked up some lists people had of things they've been enjoying. I found one with The Fire Hunter on it and it sounded really exciting. Then I didn't have Crunchroll and couldn't find it elsewhere so I watched Trigun Stampede. HOWEVER a friend of mine let me use her crunchroll account and so here we are!

The first thing that's striking me in this opening is how pretty the art is.




Okay, let's see. Spoilers as reactions and then I'll come back in at the end for a spoiler-free summary of my thoughts, sound good?

( The Fire Hunter Episode One Spoilers! )
Okay! So, this was a pretty fun episode for world building. This is a place where humanity has been "Remade" and can no longer encounter natural flame or else they will spontaneously combust. Still needing flames, they've found that these monsters, these flame fiends, can be slain and the natural blood in their bodies can be refined into a combustible jelly that does not count under the rules of natural flame.

I really want to get more information about basically all of this. The art is pretty throughout, the world building is so fuckin Mysterious? It's exciting and I'm eager to see more.

The episode DID feel long for 20 minutes, but also that's probably on me. I probably won't live blog the future ones to prevent that feeling since they're already pretty dense as is and it makes me pause pretty often.

Also, the formatting for this post broke so the spoilered stuff is all in a weird highlight format. Dunno how to fix that without a lot of elbow grease, soooo! Y'know! Sorry about it.
