Trigun Stampede Ep. 11 "To a New World" really goes off-rails from the original canon, but this time in a good way. With this episode featuring some nightmarish content of the botanical variety, it really leans into horror far more than the 1998 anime ever did. Frankly, this seems like a great
Yes, we know that Vash is the star of the show, even in Trigun Stampede Ep. 10 "Humanity". However, this is also the episode where Meryl finally has her long overdue day in this anime. We even see why it is that Orange's writers wrote her the way they did throughout the entire anime. It even gives
After a month-long hiatus, Tatsuya Endo finally returns to Shonen Jump with the long-awaited Spy x Family Ch. 76! Even better, it continues with the aftermath of the Red Circus hijacking. With Anya reacting...more or less how you'd expect a roughly 5-year-old kid to react to nearly dying.
In many ways, you can consider Trigun Stampede Ep. 9 "Millions Knives" to be an origin story for the titular character in addition to Vash. After all, Knives shares the spotlight with Vash in this episode. We even get to see a bit of why he's so genocidal, even if there's still a big plot hole
Trigun Stampede Ep. 8 "Our Home." actually gives us new details about Vash the Stampede's backstory that wasn't in the original 1998 anime. In other words: the writers are actually filling in holes in canon instead of trying to change canon altogether. To me, this is what Orange should've done all
Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie offers a rather unique take on the romantic comedy story between a girl and a boy. For starters: the female Miyako Shikimori has a distinctly masculine personality compared to the male Yuuki Izumi's distinctly feminine personality. For the rest: there are many strong
Despite its title, Trigun Stampede Ep. 7 "Wolfwood" is not entirely about Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Our brave and titular hero Vash the Stampede also gets a lot of screen time in this episode. Not only that, but the end of the episode also gives us a massive revelation about Vash's identity that
I would best describe Lycoris Recoil as a modern and light-hearted take on the girls with guns genre. Basically: it's like if you took Gunslinger Girl, and made it not morbidly depressing. Quite the opposite, really. It even has a healthy dose of yuri in it. There's a reason why almost everyone has
In I Want Your Sex, director Gregg Araki asks audiences to embrace the primal, animal parts of ourselves. Sex, he says, is a natural thing to want. And for an under-sexualized generation, it has become something that hardly anybody pays attention to. That, however, is not to say that they don't
I love a movie year loaded with surprises. A long list of risks and rewards, chances taken on the smallest of projects that strike a chord with audiences and leave them soaring. Directorial debuts cracking top 10 lists, indie horror films made for nothing crushing the box office, and more and more
Reacher Season 4 is upon us, which means once again we’re able to see our favorite bear-sized man yeet his way through a conspiracy in pursuit of the greater good. This iteration adapts the 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow, bringing Reacher into a deadly web of twists, dangerous organizations with
