A new Trigun series was just announced for what will be the 25th anniversary of the anime series. It's coming 2023 thru Studio Orange and later Crunchyroll. More info will be available next month. 25 years after the first anime series, #TRIGUN will be reborn in 2023 entitled TRIGUN STAMPEDE, produced by the Japan’s best 3D animation studio Orange ( @cg_orange_inc ) with an all-new staff and cast. https://t.co/HqMU1s6sMN pic.twitter.com/a0R1TGsnMg — 『TRIGUN STAMPEDE』アニメ公式 (@trigun_anime) June 17, 2022 And, yeah so, it looks okay from first glance. It's hard to tell much from just an image, but I have some thoughts about it. For one, I really love Trigun , so I am excited for a new series. It's not clear to me if it is a remake or a new story. I am slightly worried about the art style and that we won't see Johnny Yong Bosch in the dub this time. The series is announced as being a CG show this time; that's not particularly unusual. Ever since I watched Godzilla: Pl...

My partner, Kaiti, and I went to see Alita: Battle Angel  a few weeks ago on February 19th. We had both watched the 1993 anime OVA version before, so we both had some knowledge of the source material. Both productions are actually based on a Japanese manga series called Gunnm  that started back in 1990 and continues today in a follow-up series. Gunnm  was pretty big, spawning the previously mentioned OVA, spinoffs, a video game for the original PlayStation, and even a novel. James Cameron has owned the film rights for nearly two decades with the movie finally coming out last month directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Rosa Salazar as the title character.

Sometime in the year 2000, I first heard the name JoJo's Bizarre Adventure . "Bizarre" is of course often a synonym for "weird", and, even to a weird kid like me, this was such a weird name that I was intrigued. From what I remember,  JoJo's Bizarre Adventure  was first introduced to me as a video game for PlayStation that my friend Augustin had rented. I heard all about the colorful designs of the manga-based fighting game. This was a story that had not yet been introduced to a major...
