This season, they're remaking Trigun, which was a popular manga and anime in the 90s. It's about a gunman on a desert planet who is a pacifist. It has heavy Christian themes in part because the author was a Christian in a nation of Shinto and Buddhism.
When you remake a beloved property, you get a built-in audience you wouldn't have otherwise gotten, but at the same time you're also taking on the expectations of that property. Trigun isn't a 4 panel comic about a big fat cat that loves to eat, it's a property with deep and important themes that a lot of people count as important to their formation as people. If you take on that property, you're accepting the benefits of working with the property, but you're also taking on the handcuffs of working with that property.
That's one of the nice things about Japanese media in particular is they're not stuck in remake zone. They've got a good pipeline from webnovel to light novel to manga to anime, so when someone decides they want to tell a story they have lots of opportunities to do so without relying on a 30 year old property. When someone does pick up an old property then, it does mean they need to be careful. People will take what they're doing seriously, and it's not just remake number 42069
Trigun means a lot to me personally. The story and its themes hit me when I was a teenager and shaped my adult view of the world. It was also something my brother and I shared and bonded over. I don't hate the new series so far(The first 4 episodes of Trigun the anime were a waste of time imo and really hurt the anime, so having one episode of introduction before jumping into the real story is a good choice), but of course I'm comparing it to the original anime and manga. That's part of the point of calling it Trigun.
The big thing I'm waiting for is I need to see some big emotional dramatic moments. The moment where Vash finally pulled his gun to save the people really didn't hit hard this episode, but we'll see what the lost technology actually does, maybe the arc hasn't climaxed yet.

Any journalists who even think about thinking about writing a sentence like the above needs to stop writing and start reading because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the platform.

It's cool guys, we can just keep spending forever and there will never be negative consequences because debt is always good!
ERP projects while the working man is barely able to keep the lights on. Sounds like government to me!

The new series is going on right now. I don't see how they can match something like this.

Yeah, unless your job is playboy billionaire philanthropist, Vancouver is out. A SFH is about 2 mill, and that's after the plummetting values in 2022.

Funny how they weren't screaming fascist when he was using a combination of state and corporate power to impose a certain vision on the common man (regarding electric cars), but when he uses his own money to buy their combination of state and corporate power and kicks out the government lackies then he's a fascist.

Even if I think people should be allowed to buy them if they want, but without major government help almost nobody would want one because they're expensive and impractical.
