The official airing date of the upcoming Studio Orange reimagination of the 1998 action classic, Trigun, has finally been revealed, along with a brand-new key visual depicting the series' main character, Vash The Stampede. The upcoming Trigun project, titled TRIGUN STAMPEDE is set to begin airing in Winter 2023, with January 7 being slated as the official premiere date, meaning that the new series is less than a month away.
The release date was revealed with the series' main trailer, which was released early last week, after the first three episodes of the upcoming anime were shown at a special event in Japan earlier this month.
The new Trigun was announced in June and set for a 2023 release, with Crunchyroll also announcing that the upcoming series would be made available on the platform as it airs in Japan. The project has since then been featured on various panels at several anime events, including Anime Expo, which was attended by the series' original creator Yasuhiro Nightow, Studio Orange producer Kiyotaka Waki, designer Kо̄ji Tajima, as well as Toho Producer Katsuhiro Takei. TRIGUN STAMPEDE was also featured in a special panel at Anime NYC in November, where the first episode of the series was shown for the first time.
TRIGUN STAMPEDE is a production of Studio Orange, with the original story for the anime by Takehiko О̄ki, direction by Kenji Mutо̄ (Episode Director, Terror in Resonance), character designs by Kо̄ji Tajima and series composition by Tatsuro Inamoto, Shin Okashima and Yoshihisa Ueda, while music composition in TRIGUN STAMPEDE is by Tatsuya Kato. The series opening and ending themes are "TOMBI" performed by Kvi Baba and "Hoshi no Kuzu α" performed by Salyu and Haruka Nakamura respectively.
The cast involved in the upcoming TRIGUN STAMPEDE include Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Äs Nödt, BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War) as Vash the Stampede; with young Vash voiced by Tomoyo Kurasawa (Rebecca, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners), Meryl Stryfe voiced by Sakura Andо̄ (Legom, BEASTARS), Rem Saverem voiced by legendary voice actor and musician Maaya Sakamoto (Major Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell franchise), Millions Knives will be voiced by Junya Ikeda (Takashi Yoshizawa, After the Rain); with young Knives voiced by Yumiri Hanamori (Yuka Ayakawa, Blue Period), and Zazie the Beast will be played by TARAKO, who was Melody in the original Hunter x Hunter anime series.
TRIGUN STAMPEDE is set to air on January 7 at 23:00 JST, and will be available on Crunchyroll.
