Trigun Stampede Coming To Crunchyroll In 2023
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.
Trigun was first animated in the 1998 series of the same name that ran for 26 episodes. The series premiered in the US on Adult Swim in 2003. It sounds like Trigun Stampede will be another adaption of the same story — but this time, it’ll be in 3D. Studio Orange, who specializes in CG animation, is bringing the story to life this time.
Trigun takes place on the planet of No Man’s Land and revolves around Vash the Stampede, one of the most notorious and dreaded gunslingers in the world. Here’s the thing, though — Vash is a total pacifist who never means to hurt anyone. He just has this habit of causing a calamity wherever he goes. Every bounty hunter within a 5,000-mine radius is after him, but Vash won’t let that fact stop him from his mission — to stop his estranged brother from destroying the world.
Each episode of Trigun Stampede will premiere on the same day in both Japan and the US. No word on a simuldub yet, but this is a significant enough release that it’s likely. We expect to learn more about this during the Trigun Stampede panel at Anime Expo, scheduled for Saturday, July 2 at 8pm PT. Nighthow will be there and so will concept artist Kouji Tajima, producers Kiyotaka Waki, Yoshihiro Watanabe, and Katsuhiro Takei.

This timeline is fascinating to me. Strange things have been happening since the announcement of The Devil is a Part Timer.
We’ll be getting more Hunter X Hunter, Bleach, and Urusei Yatsura , and now Trigun.
