Trigun Stargaze Aims for the Stars: Episode 1-2 Review

Oct 16, 16:30 anime

The first episode's premiere ends up being a set-up appetizer for the rib-eye steak of its second episode, which knocks it out of the park. ― “Love and Peace,” hollered scores of Vash cosplayers at the Trigun Stargaze panel at New York Comic Con, hosted by Crunchyroll. That's a lofty dream for the much-beloved pacifist gunslinger, Vash the Stampede, in the desert Noman's Land. At the panel, the Trig...

Let's Go Karaoke! Anime Series Review

Oct 16, 12:00 anime

I’m just amazed by how much you could squeeze out of this bizarre premise. ― Let's Go Karaoke! is a series that succeeds in making the unbelievable believable. It's a comedy at heart, yet the bond between its two unlikely leads makes for melodrama that's both kitschy and effective. Who'd'a thunk that the best way to overcome your musical failures and teen angst was by teaching a yakuza member how to ...

It’s a colorful, comforting anime that requires minimal brain power to consume. ― For me, A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 is like “Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Anime.” I enjoyed the far-fetched and dumb, but sweet, twenty-four-episode first season, and found myself sleepwalking into the second out of a misplaced sense of duty. Like many long-running anime romcoms, the “plot progression,” if one could even des...
