TRIGUN STARGAZE gives a bit of nice, green calm before the storm for Vash and his friends in Ep. 4 "From Order to Chaos". All due to them staying in the nice, safe Home with its abundant greenery: the only such place to be found in all of Noman's Land. However, that safety won't last. Not if
TRIGUN STARGAZE has Vash head back Home to a puppet show with Jessica in Ep. 3 "Memento Mori". Alas, this is not the fun kind of puppet show. This is the kind of puppet show that involves quite a bit of gun fu and martial arts, and all on the part of a very unwilling audience to boot. TRIGUN
Studio Orange is proud to bring us back to the planet of Noman's Land with TRIGUN STARGAZE Ep. 1 "Wandering Days". This means everyone you know and love/hate are going to come back, with some familiar new faces incoming to boot. Fans of the old Trigun from 1998 will find solace in those familiar
When TRIGUN STAMPEDE ran from January 7, 2023 to March 25, 2023; it was a hit. A hit that was marred by controversy due to some odd story decisions by director Kenji Mutō, and at least in part by the use of CGI animation from studio Orange (Land of the Lustrous, BEASTARS). However, it was a hit
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
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
Despite its optimistic-sounding name, Trigun Stampede Ep. 6 "Once Upon a Time in Hopeland" is anything but hopeful. Especially not with Nicholas D. Wolfwood having to make some very difficult choices, starting with whether to kill his best friend or not. The happiness in this key art seems so far
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm has Yuru and his Daemons turn the table on his pursuers in Ep. 4 "Jin and Yuru". It's pretty clearly a case of the hunters becoming the hunted here, and in a very action-packed way to boot. Now we wait and see if this is a good thing for Yuru, or if he has bitten off
