Trigun Stampede, the remake of the famous 1998 anime, premiered on January 7 in Japanese. Its English version is due out mere hours from now. Crunchyroll waited until pretty much the last minute to reveal who’s playing who, but they sent us the full list at last.
Trigun Stampede premiered its first episode last weekend, both in Japan and the US. Despite the high profile of this release, there won’t be a Simuldub (whee the sub and dub versions come out at the same time)…instead the dub versions of each Trigun Stampede episode will appear two weeks after their Japanese premieres. You won’t be hearing the show in English until January 21 but when you do, you’ll hear a very familiar voice.
Normally animation made in Japan tends to premiere in Japan, but Crunchyroll has scored an exclusive. The first place the premiere episode of Trigun Stampede will be viewable ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD is Anime NYC, at the panel for the anime on November 18.
Yasuhiro Nightow’s space western Trigun is being rounded up for another showdown (or some kind of Wild West talk like that). A new series was just announced for a 2023 premiere, and Crunchyroll has the US rights.
