Superman’s best stories are the ones that nail the love story of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. On that front, the lively series “My Adventures With Superman” is successful and rises as Kal-El himself. This Clark (Jack Quaid) and Lois (Alice Lee) are adorable and even more when they are together.
In “My Adventures”, Clark Nerd’s awkward character is not just an act to divert the suspicion that he is Superman, he In fact That is nervous around Lois. Lois is reinvented as a master reporter, but simply a daily planet intern who wants be one She is less sardonic, more disheveled and ambitious, but is still quite intelligent. They have experienced some relationship problems so far (between LOIS’s trust problems and Clark’s rejection fears), but never feel artificial and always be together again.
Although an American production, “My Adventures With Superman” often feels as if the steel man star in his own anime. The art style is “anime style”, where all characters have large round eyes and simple impeccable faces. The version of the Supergirl show is Kara Zor-El through Vegeta of “Dragon Ball”, and in turn, the Brainiac that destroys the planet (its puppet) resembles Frieza. Even the sequence of the title is anime-ish, from the guitar accommodation song to the climatic shot of the heroes who face a multitude of their enemies together.

According to the program cooker, Jake Wyatt, the characters of “My Adventures With Superman” Clark and Lois are not only modeled in the original comics, but their appearance was also inspired by two famous anime heroes: vash the stampede and Meryl Stryfe of the Space Western manga/anime “Trigun”. In an interview with Comicbook.comWyatt said bluntly: “Meryl Stryfe is basically the research girlfriend of a Superman … That is the dynamic. (Clark and Lois) are Vash and Meryl. So we take away from her very deliberately.”
When I read this for the first time, I could practically hear the sound of two pieces of puzzles that come together.
How my adventures with Superman Tribute to Anime Trigun

As a western space, “Trigun” has obtained comparisons with “Cowboy Bebop” and “Firefly”. On the surface, it leans more on the “western” side: there are no spacecraft, and all the action is to shoot in the desert. But the context of the series reveals science fiction: “Trigun” develops in the distant future on the planet Gunsmoke. After the social collapse on Earth, the ships of Colonia left for a new home, but several ships crashed into that desert world. The series takes place later, when the descendants of the survivors have built a civilization that resembles the border of the old west.
Vash The Stampede is the leadership of “Trigun”, a gunman with a reward of $ 60 billion “double dollar” in the head. Vash has the reputation of leaving destruction wherever he goes (he is nicknamed “the humanoid typhoon”), but he is actually a pacifist of good heart; Although practical with a weapon, he has also sworn to take his life. Vash’s characterization is just one of the reasons why “Trigun” is somewhat more reflective than only an action anime. It also has a super distinctive characters, a pointed blond hair with sunglasses and tinted earrings, a red cabardine and a robotic left arm. The “Trigun” posters often show Vashh holding his gun with a glow by Steely Clint Eastwood, but in the anime himself, there is kindness in his eyes.

Clark Kent in “My Adventures With Superman” looks like a vase of hair jet with crow, its thinner and more delicate face, tailored to blush, without the square jaw, the Hendida chin and the comic superman spit curl. Just as Clark is really a Kriptonian, Vash looks human, but it is not. It really is a “plant”, an interdimensional race of Angel’s beings. Most plants cannot survive outside their dimension, so they remain in giant bullfight reactors of those that Gunmake’s humans draw energy.
Throughout “My My Adventures With Superman”, Clark (who knows less about his origins than in most versions) fears being rejected as a monster. The task force X hunts him thinking that he will bring an alien invasion to the earth. Vash is also hated and feared, but never stops believing in the goodness of humanity.

Meryl Stryfe is one of the rare humans who stay with Vash. Meryl, an adjuster of the Bernardelli Insurance Society, addresses his partner Millly Thompson to find Vash and send him the invoice for all the damage to the property he has caused. That means that, as Lois follows Superman, she is stubbornly after Vash and informing about him. The sequence of the title “Trigun” shows that Meryl furiously struck a typewriter while Milly runs out of the room in the background.

Studio Orange’s new 3-D anime “Trigun Stamped” was a step further and reinvented Meryl as a journalist, making her even more similar. Like Meryl, Lois in “My Adventures With Superman” is approximately two heads shorter than his man and looks a cut of elves. However, the difference is that LOIS is the excitable and risk, while Clark is more cautious. In “Trigun”, Vash is nonsense, while Meryl is more serious (or at least tries to be).
“My Adventures With Superman” is much more explicitly romantic than “Trigun” too (Clark and Lois kiss in the middle of season 1). The original “Trigun” anime made it clear that Vash and Meryl were adequate for each other, while Yasuhiro Nightow’s original manga left him more open. We will see what the third round brings when “Stampede” Season 2 “, Trigun Stargaze”, Rueda.
“My Adventures With Superman” is broadcast on Adult Swim, and season 3 is currently in production. “Trigun Stargaze” is in production, but does not have a launch date confirmed at this time.
