The anime will star:
Madhouse‘s original television anime adaptation aired for 26 episodes in Japan in 1998.
The Trigun anime adapts Yasuhiro Nightow‘s manga of the same name. The manga ran in Tokuma Shoten‘s Monthly Shonen Captain magazine from 1995 to 1997. The manga returned with Trigun Maximum in Shonengahosha‘s Young King Ours magazine later in 1997 and ran until 2007. Dark Horse Comics has released the manga in English.
The story follows the misadventures of Vash the Stampede, a gunman on the lam with a “60 billion double dollar” bounty on his head. Vash earned his “Stampede” nickname thanks to the destruction that zealous bounty hunters wreak on any town he visits.
The Trigun: Badlands Rumble anime film debuted in April 2010 and was the first new Trigun animation in over a decade. The anime’s world premiere was at Sakura-Con in April 2010, although the anime studio Madhouse‘s plans for the project date back to 2005. The film is based on a story by original manga creator Nightow and director Satoshi Nishimura.
