A staple of ’90s anime, Trigun was one of the handful of series during that time that broke into the American mainstream. And now, there’s a new anime based on the manga by Yasuhiro Nightow called Trigun Stampede. But where can you watch it and what’s the release schedule for the subbed and dubbed versions of the series?
Produced by CG Studio Orange, Trigun Stampede follows Vash the Stampede, a pacifist gunslinger who has a $6 million bounty on his head. The series departs a bit from the original anime, both storywise and tonally, giving a different take on this story. Trigun Stampede is a reboot or reimagining, so if you’re new to Trigun, then this is an easy place to start–but you should still watch the original (available on Hulu and Crunchyroll). The new series debuted on Crunchyroll on January 7, 2023.
One of the coolest things about Trigun Stampede is that Johnny Yong Bosch is reprising his role as Vash for the dubbed version of the series. Bosch voiced the titular bounty hunter during the original ’90s anime run.
