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

Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl returned for The Last Drive-In: Joe Bob's Halloween House Party, delivering a double feature built around two very different approaches to Halloween horror. This time, the legendary horror host paired Body Bags (1993) with WNUF Halloween Special (2013),
