I am a big fan of the anime series Trigun. It was one of the first box sets I bought back while I was still in high school, and I still have it.
I had heard about the Stampede reboot, and heard a mix of promising and worrying things, but I did not watch the series, not even an episode, until quite recently. Let's just say that my reaction to the first episode was not laudatory, and included expletives.
After watching the whole thing, I concluded that it was a complete disaster, systematically ruining almost every positive aspect of the original, and adding nothing fun or interesting.
Justin and I did a three-episode series of Wordy Pair episodes on it, and it is an extremely fun listen, if you are interested in anime, Trigun, or just storytelling in general.
They got so much wrong.
Highly recommended for analysis and hilarity.
I even made a little playlist for it here:

Or, what the heck, I'll embed them each one by one:
