Trigun Anime Gets New Novel This Winter
posted on by Anita Tai
The autumn issue of Shueisha's Jump SQ. RISE magazine announced on Thursday that the Trigun franchise will get a new novel written in collaboration between series creator Yasuhiro Nightow and Trigun Stampede writer Takehiko Oxi titled Trigun Manuscript this winter. The series will be based on the world of the Trigun Stampede and Trigun Stargaze anime.
The Trigun Stargaze anime premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliated channels on January 10. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, along with an English dub.
Trigun Stargaze is the previously announced "final phase" of the Trigun Stampede anime, set 2.5 years after the end of Trigun Stampede.
Trigun Stampede premiered in Japan in January 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired and is also streaming an English dub.
Madhouse's previous television anime adaptation aired for 26 episodes in Japan in 1998. The anime launched in North America for home video in 2000. Geneon Entertainment (formerly Pioneer) originally released the series on DVD, but Funimation has since licensed the series and released it on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. The series is now streaming on Crunchyroll following Sony's Funimation Global Group's acquisition of Crunchyroll from AT&T. Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block aired the anime in 2003.
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 Shōnengahōsha's Young King Ours magazine later in 1997 and ran until 2007. Dark Horse Comics has released the manga in English.
The Trigun: Badlands Rumble anime film debuted in April 2010 and was the first new Trigun animation in over a decade.
