The Trigun Stargaze anime revealed a teaser trailer and a key visual, confirming the January 2026 premiere date announced earlier this week. The trailer was initially shown during the New York Comic Con.

Masako Sato will be directing the Trigun Stargaze anime with Kazuyuki Fudeyasu on the series composition. Studio Orange is animating. The same studio worked on Trigun Stampede, with Kenji Muto as the director. The cast includes:

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Vash
Tomoyo Kurosawa as Young Vash
Junya Ikeda as Knives Millions
Yumiri Hanamori as Young Knives
Maaya Sakamoto as Rem Saverem
Sakura Ando as Meryl Stryfe
Kenji Matsuda as Robert de Niro
Yoshimasa Hosoya as Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Chika Ayamori as Milly Thompson (NEW)

The series is based on Yasuhiro Nightow’s manga series, serialized in Tokuma Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Captain magazine from April 1995 to January 1997. The manga was later moved to Shonen Gahosha’s seinen manga magazine Young King OURs, as Trigun Maximum, where it stayed from October 1997 to March 2007, when it ended.

Dark Horse licensed the manga in English and describes the plot as:
On the forbidding desert world of Gunsmoke, a mysterious bounty hangs above the head of Vash the Stampede, and the gunslinging pacifist can’t seem to find a moment’s respite. Vash is no ordinary pistolero, packing a weapon capable of punching holes in a planet, which explains why the locals tremble at the very mention of his name. But sixty billion double dollars is no ordinary reward, and every trigger-happy psycho in creation is aiming to claim Vash dead or alive—preferably dead!

MADHOUSE animated the first anime adaptation of Trigun – it aired in 1998 and had 26 episodes. The same studio also worked on the Trigun: Badlands Rumble movie, released in 2010.
