Synopsis
With a $60 billion bounty on his head and a reputation as a legendary gunslinger, Vash the Stampede lives by a personal rule never to kill anyone. Two and a half years after the Lost July incident leveled an entire city, he's been hiding out under a fake name in some remote desert town, trying to live quietly. That lasts about as long as you'd expect. A girl from his past shows up with a distress signal from their home ship, and suddenly Vash is dragged back into the conflict he's been avoiding, a final reckoning with his twin brother Millions Knives, who wants humanity wiped off the planet entirely. This is a 12-episode TV series from Studio Orange, and their CGI work here carries the same weight and texture that made Trigun Stampede stand out. The desert planet setting feels genuinely lived-in, and the action sequences hit hard without losing the quieter character moments that make you actually care about the outcome. Meryl's back, Wolfwood's back, and the moral tension of a pacifist caught in an escalating war gives every confrontation real stakes. If you liked Cowboy Bebop's blend of style and melancholy, or Gungrave's slow burn toward an inevitable showdown between brothers-in-arms, this lands in similar territory. The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting too, atmospheric in a way that sticks with you after the episode ends. It's the kind of show where the fights mean something because you understand what everyone's lost to get there.

Stampede was so good but this season was a bit disappointing
this ep brings depth to the main protagonist and a tension of love hate that was created because of past action. Hopper character took me by surprised and brings some insight into what Vast did that affected people around
I have never watched and trigun series and yet this first ep I saw in Netflix has all the elements I wanted, a mysterious hero, a tragic past, very interesting characters. the anime is high quality
🎹 Nai and Vash will live in my head forever🌱... Stampgaze is an ambitious reimagining of a beloved series that’s unfortunately held back by its short runtime. What it manages to deliver though, is a visually impressive homage that does things differently to set itself apart from the other two versions of this story. For what it is, I enjoyed this spectacle. Read the Trigun+TriMax manga for the full experience!
As a huge fan of the 🌱 twins dynamic, this story’s finally headed to the moment I’ve been waiting for! The hopes and fears of both friends and foes are palpable, enhanced by the top-tier OST and POIGNANT, EMOTIONAL moments. Which brother will come out on top? I'm dying to know!
This is so HYPE?! The lead-up to the action’s so emo 😢 Then the shift to the HIGH-OCTANE BATTLE has me YELLING! LEGATO MY UNHINGED GOAT🧵+🔫💀🦴!! NICO&LIVIO CO-OP!!! LORD 🔪?! Stargaze’s changes from TriMax are divisive, but I’m just so glad my favs have so much GD AURA here!!
This ep’s a lighthearted and entertaining break. So many silly and sweet moments that made me chuckle 😭 The added bits of lore are interesting here. The characters are preparing for the rising stakes and the final foe. Their future is a blank ticket!
Right off the bat, this ep’s intense action is a VISUAL TREAT! I also thank this ep for the VashWood moments🙏 This ep pays its respects to the OTHER SIBLING RIVALRY in this series that didn’t get a chance to shine in the ‘98 ver. Their action-packed face-off is just MESMERIZING!
The art shift at the start is sweet ✝ Then, the TORTUROUSLY tense verbal clash between the 🌱 twins highlights their different ideals. The plot beats here are crazy cool, but they’re presented haphazardly, tbh. The explosive action and surprise foe at the end makes up for it tho!
Aww, Milly’s cuteness cuts thru the tension🥺This ep’s spaceship visual flex is a TREAT for sci-fi fans!! Wish we got more of Legato and Vash's face-off in this episode, but the pacing is tryna be a speedrun to the finish line. Gotta love the 🔪 comeback and the 🌱 lore though!🎹
GOSH, that one saxophone track is so sexy🎷It makes the shift to the violence and chaos in the opener feel SO GOOD!! The stand-off between the strange pastor and the horn freak is so TENSE! It’s less head-on action, and more of tactical warfare. This ep’s a cacophony of emotions!
This world can be so kind, but also so cruel… This is a much slower ep that’s focused on developing the characters and showing us glimpses of the brutality in this story. The gore’s quite intense😱Stakes are being set up, and plans are being set in motion~ How exciting!!🎷
Oh, hello Nai 🔪…WAIT, WHAT? Stargaze’s take on the puppeteer battle is visually stunning~ The slick, high-octane animation is simply captivating. Leonof’s UNHINGED voice acting's a great touch👑 Vash is back in action, and the reunion with his old friends is subdued, but sweet!
This is TENSE and EMOTIONAL in all the right ways. The way this ep frames that stalling piano note as “Eriks” is at a standstill? Then using a layered, piano-heavy track to show that he’s ready to wake up from his dream?! The symbolism and parallels are everything. PURE ART.
Picking up from Stampede, Stargaze gives us the aftermath of Lost July. Milly and Meryl’s dynamic is so cute🥺! From the OP, to the instrumentals, to the ED: the OST is a COMPLETE HIT!! The animation’s good and the visuals are BREATHTAKING. Solid intro to the season~
A great world-building episode and a calm before the storm with more characters being added to Knives' collection, it ends with a great recreation of Vash's classic look.
Great action sequence from Vash and the Puppetmaster, and there's more mysteries regarding who's stealing the rest of the plants in No Man's Land. A hype episode that shows that Vash still has it and a reunion with the gang after JuLai makes it bittersweet.
A melancholic return for Vash with the help of Jessica and an unexpected merging of different characters' paths ends in a rather comedic tone. A great episode filled with sadness and regret from past mistakes.
A new start for many characters including Vash with a great premise for more characters. A solid opening with great animation and combination of 2D and 3D.
Wolfwood's comment on Vash's hair was so funny, especially since no one acknowledged in the moment; "Why don't you go bald" haha
