![]() ![]() Trigun Stampede is available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu. It’s not just one of the best anime of the year - it’s simply one of the best shows. Its blundering protagonist hides enormous tragedy, and its dazzling action rewards repeat viewings on the biggest screen you can play it on. Trigun Stampede is an apocalypse that is desperate but not despairing, a wasteland of broken people figuring out how to persevere and find things worth fighting for after the world is already broken and there isn’t any fixing it. The more time the viewer spends with him, the less he makes sense - because he should have succumbed to despair by now. For one, he’s kind of a doofus? And for another, he’s an incredible gunslinger who just refuses to kill people. It’s an immediately compelling introduction (or reintroduction) to Vash the Stampede, a legendary hurricane of trouble with an enormous bounty on his head. Studio Orange’s reimagining of Trigun, the seminal ’90s manga and anime, stands on its own two feet with tremendous confidence and more than enough swagger. There’s a lot of history to Trigun Stampede, but the moment it starts - with a spectacular disaster in the stars that comes crashing down to a bleak desert under an impossibly blue sky - that doesn’t really matter. Tomo-chan Is a Girl! is available to stream on Crunchyroll. It’s good, lighthearted fun that’ll charm anyone looking for a bit of romance. Even Carol, who is sort of initially introduced as a blond bimbo, gets her own loving portrayal. The show handles its characters with care and doesn’t cast judgment on women - regardless of how they present themselves. Whereas some stories can reinforce the idea that their protagonist is “not like other girls,” Tomo finds strength in both femininity and her more masculine traits. Over the course of the show, Tomo enlists her girly-girl friends to help give her advice on how to be seen as a woman. There’s just one problem: Tomo has trouble getting Jun to see her as a romantic interest and not just another one of the guys. ![]() Well liked by her friends, confident, and physically strong, Tomo has a lot going for her. This romantic comedy follows Tomo Aizawa, a tomboy who has a crush on her childhood friend, Junichiro “Jun” Kubota. Tomo-chan Is a Girl has delivered us one of this season’s strongest female protagonists, literally. All titles are listed by chronological order of release. That’s not mentioning some of the even more elusive anime set to come out this year, like the long-awaited Uzumaki anime and the even longer-awaited anime of Naoki Urasawa’s Pluto from famed anime producer (and Madhouse co-founder/MAPPA founder) Masao Maruyama.įrom Trigun Stampede and The Fire Hunter to comedies like Tomo-chan Is a Girl and the anime adaptation of Nier: Automata, here are the best anime to air in 2023 so far. There’s so many exciting shows to look forward to on the horizon this year, from the final final season of Attack on Titan and the return of both Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen to the eagerly anticipated premiere of new anime like Witch Hat Atelier, Delicious in Dungeon, Heavenly Delusion, and Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. We’ve only just managed to catch our breath from the avalanche of the best anime 2022 had to offer, and we’re already swimming in an embarrassment of riches this season. 2023 is shaping up to be yet another spectacular year for anime fans. ![]()
