I'm keeping an open mind about the new Trigun, but the story has some serious pacing and structural problems.
They went through the Nebraska arc without even having "that moment", and E.G. Mine is already dead but the whole point of his death is negated because Vash didn't know or care (and I'm pretty sure Vash learned about it and got mad in the original)
I'm guessing next episode is the lost July incident which they're gonna probably use instead of the 5th moon incident to tighten it up, skip out on Elizabeth and that arc, skip out on the BDN arc, they'll probably get Wolfwood in the episode after that.
I'm guessing they'll probably skip the initial Wolfwood arcs for that and probably shoot directly to the last surviving ship arc and close out the series with fights with the gung ho guns, show the story of knives finding the chopped up sentient plant in episode 11, then a big final battle in episode 12 and both knives and vash disappear.
A lot of the key events of the series will have to stay on the cutting room floor. For example, I don't see how the events of Diablo can happen now because the whole point of those events is that Vash snaps from witnessing a mass murder, but he's already witnessed a mass murder.
I don't expect the series will be able to stretch its legs, it's too crammed into its 12 episodes. I don't think they've got a plan to stretch it over 2 seasons and only announced the first 12, they're doing everything too quickly.
Anyway, it's not bad right now, but it's like the difference between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross: Chrono Cross was a great Final Fantasy game, but it wasn't a Chrono Trigger sequel. This is a fine anime, it's just not a remake of one of the greatest animes of all time that passes muster.
But we'll see. Maybe it'll get better.

Honestly, the art is different but it's fine. It isn't distractingly bad or anything. The story problems seem much more important to me.
I had the first manga and read some of maximum but this was before you could just buy it online so I havent seen most of it
