The manga is better because it introduces the antagonists much more quickly, gave a good explanation for everyone's motivations rather than just 'lol I'm psychotic' and had a lot bigger stakes overall.
Also much heavier on the sci-fi compared to the western part than the anime.

Yeah. Overall it was just more compelling and better plotted.

Also explains what the gently caress a Plant is and why they're important, doesn't the Anime have Vash stop one from overloading and then they just kinda fade into the background?

Meanwhile they're kinda central to the plot in the manga.

I do kinda like the style of the anime better, I liked the western stuff, but everything else...

It provides everything but the ethics of it all are debatable.

Yeah. Until I read the manga I just assumed they were light-bulb shaped power generators.

Honestly a Trigun remake that's more faithful to the manga would do better for itself. Sort of like the first FMA anime versus FMA: Brotherhood

I think part of the problem was that the anime was produced in 1998 and the comic didn't conclude until a decade after that

That probably didn't help, no.

Didn't the first FMA anime conclude before the manga did as well?

That it did, and I have no idea why they do stuff like this for unfinished series because it always turns into a haphazard mess as the show outpaces the comic.

They do it because making an anime at the height of a manga's popularity is basically like printing money. More often than not, a lot of manga tend to peter out or have really bad endings, too, so waiting until a manga finishes before making an anime for it runs the risk that the ending might ruin everything up to that point, or a bad ending may leave a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of potential viewers. Which is why we got an Attack on Titan anime when there were only 35 chapters of the manga out, and why we get issues where the One Piece anime has to translate one chapter of manga per episode of anime because it caught up years ago, making the anime's pacing absolutely glacial.

So basically, capitalism corrupts artistic quality.

Because if the demand is there for an anime to be made right now it's going to be made right now.

The alternative, of course, is to do the Attack on Titan thing and make us wait a year and a goddamn half between seasons.

To be fair in One Piece's case the Dressrosa arc's manga pacing is not that fast either and it skipping various weeks because of the artist's illness doesn't help.

Some anime series aren't even made to stand on their own, but to act as commercials for the ongoing manga. That's why some just adapt a couple of arcs and don't even bother with a real ending.

Game of Thrones is apparently dropping major unpublished spoilers into the next season. They showrunners said they have a collection of Martin's notes and full creative control - as evidenced by GRRM's whining about last seasons' changes.

I haven't watched a single episode but I'm more than confident in saying that whatever changes they made were probably a Good Thing, and however they handle further seasons will be better than what GRRM shits out 10 years down the line.

Most of the viewers wouldn't notice or care because reading is hard but watching TV pirating HBO is not.
