It seems that studio Orange has decided to make Trigun Stampede Ep. 12 "High Noon at July" end the season with a bang. It's a pretty spectacular bang to boot, and it even makes up for all the negatives the anime had in its early episodes. I daresay that with this finale, this reboot anime is as
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
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

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
Sasaki and Peeps gives us plots galore being brewed up, as you might expect from Ep. 15 "Concealment and Infiltration" with that title. Complete with both the faking of a death and an undercover operation to investigate the death game faction. It's all great ingredients for some serious political
Sasaki and Peeps brings us one big magical SNAFU in Ep. 14 "Death Games and Demons", complete with a bloody fight and civilian deaths. As you might imagine, this is as huge a problem as the title suggests. And yet, it still falls short of a true action-packed episode due to the lack of action
Who could've guessed that a film about a stinky fisherwoman and a wicker husband would end up being one of the most romantic movies of the year? For all its vulgarity and absurdity, Wicker weaves a surprisingly sincere, shockingly sweet fable of against-all-odds love and a dismantling critique of
