I worked in a leather shop in Kissimmee Florida. If you’ve been to a leather shop in Kissimmee Florida you probably saw me there. Long haired guy in cowboy boots.
Anyway the company we ordered belt buckles from would occasionally send us “free gifts” of buckles that weren’t selling.
For 15 years we had trigun belt buckles. It wasn’t our target demographic.
Anytime anyone asked about one I was just like “here just take it… at least someone will appreciate it.”
It took 15 years to give them away for free.
Trigun the original is great, these reboots have been in large part fuckin terrible.
I had really mixed feelings about the reboot.
Triguns original run was great but technically incomplete because the Manga was in hiatus dues to production issues. When he eventually continues Trigun it became a completely different story in some ways (and in other ways not, without getting too detailed.)
So the idea of a remake was fine if it was going to be closer to what the Manga became except… It didn’t, it’s now a third take on the same story with some major differences again from both the original show and the manga.
I hope the next season is better, because the framework of where the show is heading post the first season ending does have potential, but they need to nail the episodic structure better imo.
I really don’t like the mixed 3d nonsense in anime, it’s extremely off-putting. The story could be amazing and I would still think its terrible.
all these new reboots are fuckin terrible.
Only saw the original I remember it being pretty cool
Bro, can I have one ? I live near Tampa.
I’ll tell you what tho. If you ever plan to make a visit to Old Town in Kissimmee just off of Disney property let me know. I’ll call up and ask if they have any left. I’m still owed a lot of favors. The amount of times I fixed that laser machine instead of the owner having to send it out, plus I still run the google listing for the business. If they have any I could get you one.
They won’t mail it tho. That was always a big hassle there people wanting stuff mailed all over the place. We had a flat out “no” policy because of it lol
I can tell you that buckle came from a company called bucklestock but if they shipped us that many for free I doubt they are still making it.
You had your chance. I moved down to Texas a few months ago. You can probably still buy them for cheap tho if they have any left. They were sitting for a while.
Unforgivable what they did to Millie Thompson.
What did they do?
They deleted her. Poof. Gone. I mean, they said her name like, once. But she might as well have been completely deleted considering she never actually apeared in all of Trigun Stampede.
Waaahh?? Inconceivable.
To be fair, it seems like Stampede starts prior to the trigun anime. It goes through the events of lost July but not the fifth moon incident. Therefore, it could be that Millie can come in later as a bernardelli insurance girl and still fit.
