Why is this episode showing up under Trigun Stampede on Crunchyroll? Do I need to watch stampede before Stargaze? I watched the original Trigun like 20 years ago on adult swim, is that good enough to go into stargaze?

Viktorv222026-01-10 16:26

Because this is a season 2 for the new remake.

Allansfirebird2026-01-10 16:26

*Stargaze* is a direct continuation from *Stampede*. It’s not in the same continuity with the 90’s adaption.

I_happen_to_disagree2026-01-10 16:38

Is the story of stampede and stargaze different from the 90s adaptation? If I watched the whole 90s one do i even bother with these?

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-10 16:50

It's different enough that it could be confusing to go into one with just having seen the original

mattisyou2026-01-10 20:27

Stampede and stargaze are a reimagining of the trigun anime and manga. They have most of the same characters, setting, and general plot points but the exact details are different. Allegedy, according to people who have read the manga stampede and stargaze are more accurate to it than the original anime was.

I’ve seen stampede and thought it was worth watching. That said I haven’t seen the original anime.

manticorpse2026-01-11 04:12

In hindsight, Trigun's adaptation situation is kind of odd. The 1998 anime is an adaptation of something like the first 21 chapters of the manga. Some of the episodes of the 1998 anime are *extremely* accurate, direct adaptations of specific chapters from the early manga, but mostly it uses the characters and basic plot points that had been introduced in the manga before 1998, bulks them out with its own ideas, and uses them to tell its own story. It is obviously related to the manga, but in the end barely adapted it at all.

The manga, meanwhile, ran until 2007 and in the end had around 120 chapters. Plot points, concepts, characterization... entire very important characters! from the manga are missing from the 1998 anime. When you hear people talk about wanting a Trigun Maximum adaptation, this is what they are referring to: they want a direct, panel-to-panel adaptation of the manga.

And then there is Stampede/Stargaze. Those later-manga concepts, themes, tone, and characterizations which were missing from the 1998 anime are in Stampede/Stargaze, as well as the missing characters (Livio!!), but it's like it's all been thrown in a blender. It's Trigun Maximum, remixed.

It's like the 1998 anime has the form of the manga, but lacks most of the ingredients, whereas Stampede/Stargaze has *all* of the ingredients, but in a radically different form.

zoemi2026-01-11 01:42

The original anime finished years before the manga, so it had to make up the back half of the story.

I_happen_to_disagree2026-01-11 02:22

Ah, so its like FMA-FMA: Brotherhood situation

CreamerCrusty2026-01-11 02:30

Nope. Stampede-Stargaze ended up being it's own thing. It's just so different from 90s anime and the Manga while also taking a lot from the Manga.

someedmlover212026-01-10 16:26

Stargaze is a sequel to Stampede. You need to watch Trigun Stampede first.

Desperate_Method40202026-01-10 16:27

Yes you need to watch stampede

Atario2026-01-11 02:14

Why is everyone downvoting this guy into the ground just for asking about watch guidance

[](#sakurathink)

I_happen_to_disagree2026-01-11 02:17

Thanks for asking that lol, oh well at least I got serious helpful answers

mekerpan2026-01-11 03:36

Compensatory upvotes for those inexplicable downvotes. (There ought to be a penalty for downvoting legitimate posts -- no way to enforce it though, I guess).

LazulineDaydream2026-01-10 16:37

Gotta say, I'm loving whatever that dynamic going on with Zazie, Meryl, and Millie is. Like Zazie's just kinda chillin' out with them now.

AceSoldia2026-01-10 17:15

lol Zazie just periodically showing up is so funny to me..what is even happening right there

Muffin-zetta2026-01-11 01:23

Oh zazie is the personification of the planet. He’s basically a bored god that is just hanging out.

Leungal2026-01-12 14:06

Zazie like the majority of the fan base is simply a Milly stan, just follows her around for entertainment.

avboden2026-01-10 16:47

We're so back!

DisplayHonest64652026-01-10 23:23

Do I watch the original anime then this one?

DelawareSmash2026-01-10 23:33

The original 1998 anime is unrelated to this. But this is season 2 to Trigun Stampede which is the 2023 remake. I recommend watching the 98 anime before Stampede but you don’t have to. Stampede jumps right into the exposition but ‘98 leaves a little mystery before explaining things.

DisplayHonest64652026-01-10 23:36

Thanks

IAmActionBear2026-01-11 14:23

I would probably argue against watching the OG show first. The OG anime is like 90% filler and the character depictions don’t match the manga as much. Stampede is closer to the manga material and the characters are notably different.

Stampede might work better by watching it fresh instead of comparing it to the OG anime that took a lot more liberties

DisplayHonest64652026-01-11 19:29

I’ll give it a shot

FierceAlchemist2026-01-10 23:34

Stampede/Stargaze are stand-alone retellings of the story so you don't have to watch the OG. The original anime also doesn't adapt the full manga. Still a classic though.

DisplayHonest64652026-01-10 23:36

So I should start with stampede then continue with stargaze? Since I start stargaze and I’m left confused

FierceAlchemist2026-01-10 23:39

Yes Stampede first.

CrazyDiamondZaWarudo2026-01-11 03:34

Stargaze is really just part 2 of stampede.

avboden2026-01-11 00:52

I didn't. Never seen the original, loving the new one. Trigun Stampede is basically season 1, this is season 2.

TxRyuxT2026-01-10 16:51

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo there's not enough content for a 1st ep!!

ngl am getting spoiled with double eps debut that some series are doing this season; stargaze 1st ep was ok but just not delivering the 1st ep hype for me since I've been waiting for so long.

ariane9132026-01-10 19:36

I got to see both this episode and the second episode at NYCC last year and was happy for the double episode debut.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-10 22:07

Yeah I felt it was a little underwhelming for a first episode. I was looking forward to this season.

Cavalish2026-01-11 10:52

Impossible to be underwhelming when Millie is getting screen time.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-11 14:17

It's possible if you're not a manga reader.

CheesY-onioN2026-01-10 16:52

Looks just as pretty as the first one. Though the music mixing is pretty bad, the music is too loud over the dialogues and sfx, for example when they find the ship

Waylornic2026-01-10 23:02

Yeah, you're getting some downvotes, but the mix was a bit off when Zazie was hanging around. The jazz was surprisingly loud when folks were talking.

CheesY-onioN2026-01-10 23:17

Yeah exactly

LeonKevlar2026-01-10 17:01

[Milly, my beloved!](https://i.imgur.com/jKGnp7U.jpeg) It's so good to see her in the Stampede art style. It's actually interesting how she's barely untouched from her original design. The only thing that's missing is [the coat that hides her giant stun gun.](https://i.imgur.com/mkEGxZs.jpeg) So far, I'm loving her [interactions with Meryl](https://i.imgur.com/0BGd7qv.jpeg) and even with Zazie.

So it looks like [Vash still hasn't recovered](https://i.imgur.com/k5jQCOv.jpeg) and he's now being taken care of [this big dude.](https://i.imgur.com/Gm9iWeY.jpeg) What happened to the kid who's also taking care of him at the end of episode 12? Hmmm...

DelawareSmash2026-01-10 23:05

As far as I’m aware, the kid at the end of ep 12 was Lina from the manga and ‘98 anime. Stargaze has a new director different from Stampede and they decided to scrap Lina for the big guy. It seems to be incontinuity due to the change of directors.

Torque-A2026-01-11 00:02

That's a big "seems"

KrzyDankus2026-01-11 22:51

i would imagine the director switch and what happens in Stargaze was already planned back when Stampede was airing, since Orange plans their projects out super in advance.

also this is just episode 1, so making these types of assumptions might backfire lol

mekerpan2026-01-11 03:23

Looking like one of the better shows of this new season.

Milly seems cute, but I am a big Meryl fan nonetheless. Zazie is a hoot here.

Chilla162026-01-13 18:41

Im just gonna say that the OST for this show is already promising. The first season had some of the best themes ever and you could already hear hints of it in the first episode. Im so glad this got a continuation for the soundtracks alone.

shockzz1232026-01-11 04:47

I feel bad for the big dude, he seems kind (well except for when he thought about cutting Vash's throat, but i'll wait for more context lol), i didn't like the way they treated him smh.

Jwanito2026-01-11 06:43

i also miss meryl's big coat where she hid her hundred derringers

DirCurrFluxCapacitor2026-01-10 17:05

>3D shit

Ew

Dengen882026-01-10 19:40

Maybe try watching it before you say ew it was better then what you think, and this is coming from someone that can't start. When they use chi in anime.

DirCurrFluxCapacitor2026-01-10 19:48

I don't care if it's phenomenal. I don't like 3D. I come to Japanese animation to get away from that cancer that has metastasized to basically al of *western* animation.

Dengen882026-01-10 19:56

Curious have you ever watched best stars by chance? Also hate to break it to you because sadly more studios are slowing using 3d in there series. Plus 3d has been around way before Ai started to get invoked. Also if you don't like 3d whats the point of you even being here?

DirCurrFluxCapacitor2026-01-10 20:30

Enjoying anime that isn't 3D as most of them *aren't*? Are you impaired?

11equalsfish2026-01-10 20:44

I kinda share your opinion, but don't be rude. All art is worthwhile and can be meaningful, despite the corporate meddling and lack of innovation. 3d has it's advantages for accuracy, like if it's just used for the backgrounds or it's hybrid media.

CrimsonGear802026-01-10 22:10

you are cringe

CrimsonGear802026-01-10 22:10

ew yourself

FarCritical2026-01-10 17:05

I felt that ruined banana split in my soul.

We've only just reunited with Milly and I already love her.

Beginning-Hope-26002026-01-10 17:15

Good first episode, definitely felt a bit short—this is definitely a series which could've used a two-episode premier, but still felt fairly strong. Great to have Milly back and they did a great job with her and Meryl's rapport, felt like their side of this first episode did a great job setting up the stakes and focus for this season while last third sets up the next episode nicely. Animation is as strong as ever, it felt like they were definitely teasing us with that short little fight scene at the start. Really excited for the rest of the season.

Completely unrelated but the piano tease at the end was insane, I think they know how much I like the soundtrack from Stampede and what I'm watching for 😅.

the__daydream2026-01-10 17:16

This series is my earporn😌

Beginning-Hope-26002026-01-10 17:25

All the teasing with the piano was driving me crazy, just play Memory of Piano/Visitation of a Calamity already!

djthomp2026-01-10 17:17

So good having Meryl and Milly traveling together as it was always meant to be. Interesting to see them having such a friendly relationship with Zazie

An entire new colony fleet from Earth showing up sure drastically changes things, but if all those ships are also powered by plants (or however that works) it may not go well for them showing up at a planet where Knives is.

I feel like I should remember who the big dude who has been taking care of Vash is but it's not coming back to me.

kevinhuynh952026-01-10 17:59

Same here? Was the big guy in the first season? Regardless, I feel bad for him

NiaDivineSword2026-01-10 18:35

He's new to this season.

Can i watch this directly or do i have to watch anything first ?

ForgeTheSky2026-01-10 18:35

Watch Trigun Stampede first; that's basically S1 and this is S2. This won't make much sense without it.

NiaDivineSword2026-01-10 18:35

You need to watch Trigun Stampede first, it's a season 2 to that series.

Walpknut2026-01-10 21:23

It's a second season of a show so...

Bakadestroyerr2026-01-10 18:04

New ships coming from Earth on a desert planet as a stopover, People celebrating the occasion, Ships taking time to land! Something doesn't line up right!

Also, the entire Vash and Hoppered scene was downright sad. I hope everything gets better!

Timelymanner2026-01-11 01:02

Not a stop over, but a rescue. All of the people on the planet are descendants of space colonists. Knives caused the fleet to crash on what was perceived as a dead planet with two suns. The only inhabitants were the giant worms. That’s the “Big Fall” mentioned in this episode.

Everyone would have died if Vash/Knives adopted mom Rem hadn’t saved most ships. So in order to survive the people retrofit the plants in each crash site to make food, water, and protect the people from the desert sands. Towns/cities grew up around the crash sites.

The people are dependent on the plants to survive, but we find out that they are actually sentient lifeforms. Unfortunately people using them is slowly killing them.

This episode shows what the new crisis is, since the plant thieves are taking the plants, it’s dooming the towns. So everyone has to migrate to the next closest town. That puts strain on the limited resources. Eventually there won’t be enough plants to support the human population. On the other hand if the plants are taken, then it’s possible that the plants lives are being saved, at the cost of humans dying. This Meryl, Millies mixed feelings about the incidents.

Sorry I’m ranting, but I’m almost done. Okay, so what we’re finding out now is that Earth has finally found the down ships from a hundred year’s ago. So they are sending a massive rescue fleet with supplies and space to evacuate any humans off of the planet.

I’m sorry if I’m repeating most of season 1, but Trigun drops plot point and plot twist in a weird way to contextualize at times. At least for me it does.

mekerpan2026-01-11 03:33

Did we ever find out what the plant thieves are doing with the plants? If we did, I've forgotten.

zoemi2026-01-11 17:08

They were being taken to JuLai. Watch the last couple of episodes of Stampede again.

Leungal2026-01-12 14:18

No spoilers beyond S1 of Stampede, this is the plot that was revealed up through E12:

Knives and Vash are the only 2 sentient plants, Knives wants to eliminate humanity on this planet, "impregnate" all the plants that he's stolen (presumably to create more sentient plants), and then create a utopia for all plant-kind.

In order to do this Knives gathered all the stolen plants into JuLai, then used their energy + Vash's ability to open portals to the higher dimension where all Plants pull energy from to summon a wipe-out-all-life-on-the-planet amount of energy. Cue epic showdown, ending when Vash thwarted the plan by firing the energy up into space, but as a result he crashed into and disintegrated JuLai (hence his $60B bounty), and apparently also signaled to Earth that Project SEEDS had crashlanded on this particular planet. Both went missing at the end of the episode.

shockzz1232026-01-11 04:50

> I’m sorry if I’m repeating most of season 1,

No this is good actually, i needed this refresher, thanks!

Controller_Maniac2026-01-12 03:56

preciate it, was kinda confused since I haven’t watched the last season in so long

gnome-cop2026-01-10 18:07

We return. Plants are still being stolen. Vash and Knives whereabouts are still unknown. The ethical dilemma of enslaving conscious beings for survival still remains.

More spaceships from Earth are approaching which might be beneficial. Jury’s still out on that one.

The legendary Millie that I’ve heard source readers ramble about since episode one finally arrives. She’s pretty funny and also kind of an airhead. “We need to eat more worms” is the solution to every problem.

I’m interested in what the guy who’s taking care of Vash/Eriks deal is.

The bugs human avatar from season returns as a mildly informative pest. Intriguing.

Lots of questions, not enough answers, but hopefully enough episodes to answer them.

(Knives, I’m keeping an eye out for wherever you’re probably lurking. Don’t believe I’ve forgotten about you.)

PixLaXhun2026-01-10 18:09

oh fuck yeah

MidOceanRidgeBasalts2026-01-10 18:21

What an opening!!

TheRBCJoker2026-01-10 18:26

Not as crazy as the other premieres, but still a good episode. Orange nailed the Milly/Meryl (+zazie) dynamic so far and I also REALLY like how they made Hoppered the one to care for Vash. Very solid start so far!

Kirbyundertale2026-01-10 18:41

god the soundtrack is as peak as I remember

darkwingchao2026-01-10 19:06

WE ARE SO BACK FELLAS

Salty1452026-01-10 19:22

It feels so good to be back

Salty1452026-01-10 19:24

Missed opportunity to have three years pass between *Stampede* and *Stargaze* to mirror the three year gap between their releases, but I guess it’s close enough.

Making plans like that are always likely to backfire anyway

Wilsonrolandc2026-01-11 02:15

I think it's just a reference to the fact that the second Trigun manga began its story 2.5 years after the conclusion of the first.

Salty1452026-01-11 02:52

Very possible

Allansfirebird2026-01-10 19:44

It’s interesting that there’s a bit more standard 2D animation being interspersed throughout. Looks like it’s for brief shots of the townspeople that don’t involve the main cast.

cosmiczar2026-01-10 21:38

That's pretty much the standard for most "full" 3D anime, also happens a bunch in Beastars, for instance. Modelling, rigging and animating characters that are only going to appear for a few seconds is usually a waste of time and money, so paying a couple of regular key animators to just draw them is the way to go.

WiqidBritt2026-01-10 23:21

Sometimes it can be really jarring, but I felt like it wasn't too bad in this episode.

NekoCatSidhe2026-01-10 20:08

I like that Millie girl. I guess she is meant to be the brawn to Meryl’s “brain”.

Poor Vash is now catatonic and taken care of by some… monster freak, I guess. Who doesn’t seem to be such a bad guy, but he was definitely wondering if he should cut Vash throat and put him out of his misery for a moment.

And now a spacefleet from Earth has shown up. I guess the logical thing for them to do would be for them to pick up the inhabitants of this desert planet and then free the plants, but I doubt that it will be that easy and straightforward.

mekerpan2026-01-11 03:25

I wonder if Vash's caretaker even knows who he actually is? (Since the guy calls him Eriks).

istoleyourfrog2026-01-11 11:22

dont call him a monster freak, dude. We just got done seeing the barkeep being ableist towards him

Evening_Context7842026-01-11 16:24

Stop tone policing people about a fictional character in an anime discussion thread. So obnoxious.

Crank20472026-01-11 22:21

Ehh yeah a bit ableist but you'd still ask a terrible smelling person who could walk to leave your establishment. They were clearly disgusted with more than just his... wheel chair? Idk what you'd call that device

Thoraxe4742026-01-10 20:41

Is the English dub released as well or do we have to wait for that

CrimsonGear802026-01-10 22:11

no same-day dub, unfortunately. the dub will probably start in a couple weeks.

Thoraxe4742026-01-10 22:32

Is the original vash VA back for the English dub again? If so, I'll wait

HiddenTaco02272026-01-11 06:33

Don't know why you're getting downvoted just for asking a reasonable question. People are fickle, yo.

GraaviGala852026-01-10 20:56

The one problem with this, and previous season, was the goddam animation. The non stop constant wobbly movement is really jarring to watch

Walpknut2026-01-10 21:23

Pretty good so far. Even as a manga reader you don't know what's gonna happen next but at the same time you kinda know.
I wonder what happened to the girl from season 1's stinger, she looked just like the girl taking care of "Erics" on the manga and anime but now she is nowhere to be seen and instead Hoppered is the one taking care of him. Wonder if they just retconned that or of it's gonna be explored next episode.
Can't wait for Domina and Chronica.

Wilsonrolandc2026-01-11 13:25

If she doesn't show up, I'm just gonna assume she was forced to stop visiting them by the townsfolk, based solely on the towns reaction to Hoppered.

lluNhpelA2026-01-13 23:29

Comparing the end of season 1 to now, Erics has much longer, less well kept hair, now. Looks like there was a timeskip so something must have happened to the girl.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-10 22:05

I really enjoyed the first season but I've forgotten a lot about it lol. It seems like Meryl will be more of the focus this season with Vash not himself and Wolfwood not being around.

I feel like these people are all celebrating too early, understandable, but I'm just waiting for some tragedy. But maybe I'm forgetting details.

RimeSkeem2026-01-11 00:22

Lol yeah I also realized I don't remember as much as I thought I did. Time to rewatch it before episode 2 comes out.

CrimsonGear802026-01-10 22:08

hello Ms. Thompson!

\*waves at giant worm\*

Emergency_Yam_90262026-01-10 22:25

what happened to Lina??

DelawareSmash2026-01-10 23:16

I answered this in another comment but as far as I’m aware, Stargaze has a new director and they decided not to keep Lina in season 2. I’m wondering if the black child will be Lina’s “replacement” so to speak, since she’s a brand new character in this universe

Wilsonrolandc2026-01-11 02:13

I thought the girl in the pod was supposed to be Jessica or something.

Emergency_Yam_90262026-01-11 21:25

Im havent finished the old anime yet, and had to look up who jessica is lol. its nice to see how the new anime is trying to re-introduce characters from the old anime.

Wilsonrolandc2026-01-11 22:38

Nightow actually incorporated some characters that were created for the anime into Trigun Maximum. The Mohawk guy from the first episode made an appearance and Vash got a new gun from Marlon the Gunsmith, who also loaned him the gun he used in the anime as something to practice with, humourously calling it a piece of junk.

Nightow just seems to love seeing how other people put their spin on his story.

yea it might be bcuz theres only 13 episodes and they are trying to compact all the plot in there...ig the new character is there for the sake of plot progression, its always convenient to "raise the mc out of depression" bcuz he has some kid in need of protection. not sure how its gonna turn out tho

Good to have this series back. As I've only seen the anime, both the old and the new, I don't know which bits and characters are from the manga and which are anime original. Glad to have Milly make her appearance, and while Legato had a bit part in Stampede, looks like he might feature more here. Too bad they won't have his absolutely chilling theme tune in the new series...

This premiere was mostly setup, but seems to have set up at least two big themes / questions already. Looking forward to more.

I wouldn't worry about the manga other than to read it someday. Stampede and Stargaze are basically a reimagining of the original manga story into something similar but different.

I thought it was kinda funny when they let the dead plant out of captivity as a nice thing and it just dusted itself.

mekerpan2026-01-11 03:40

It was interesting that Meryl was given a vision of the dead plants memories of freedom.

HiddenTaco02272026-01-10 22:54

Glad to see Millie of course. For me this episode was just okay. Hoping things pick up next episode. The intro/outro aren't bangers like Stampede.

WiqidBritt2026-01-10 23:24

An entire fleet from Earth is going to stop by the planet and is offering to take everyone with them? Yeah, somehow I don't think that's going to happen. Wouldn't be much of a story if everyone got to leave so easily.

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-11 01:37

Same. I can already tell it’s a trick to let them waste their resources.

wingspantt2026-01-11 01:46

Well it's 6 months away. Plenty of time for things to go wrong, or mostly wrong.

Feels like this timeline is going to be what spurs Knives to send the Gung Ho Guns to cause as much damage as possible. The timing I the old show always felt arbitrary.

Dude is going through Thorfinn arc.

Tarako ;-(

She apparently kept working as Maruko-chan until the end.

Very interested to see how things play out with a second human fleet appearing, hopefully this season will be as good as Trigun Stampede was

solythe2026-01-11 04:50

Legato being a mfer, banana sunday made an appearance, and Derringer Meryl and Milly kickin ass?

great start.

im glad they are still going heavy on the importance of the plants. as great as the OG was, it was the ambiguity that left me wanting more (anyone remember when Knives kills a guy with a black hole? what was that about?)

i am VERY confused about the fleet from earth, maybe i forgot something from Stampede?

Vash and Monev...friends?! maybe i should rewatch, couldve swore he died.

zoemi2026-01-11 17:04

Did you watch the post-credits scene of Stampede?

kyokichii2026-01-12 04:45

I didn't even know there WAS a post credits scene 😅

zoemi2026-01-12 04:51

Get on it! Very short, but it's directly connected.

wearesingular2026-01-11 05:12

Long haired Vash is amazingly hot. I can’t.

Sad-Passenger972026-01-11 05:33

How are we feeling bout the new opening? Personally not too sure about it yet but i geuss we'll see how it fits the vibe.

Who wants to bet that zazie terroizes meryl on a regular basis 🤣

Jwanito2026-01-11 06:46

OP is a little meh, ED though, is very nice

xemnas1032026-01-11 09:58

Really loving the musical scope of this episode, it really captures the emotions in the episode

Wilsonrolandc2026-01-11 13:28

I do genuinely believe Zazie finds Milly's innocent but pragmatic attitude endearing. Given that they're essentially an animal, albeit a hyperintelligent one, they can probably respect the non-malicious "well we gotta eat or we'll die" comments.

RyuzakiPL2026-01-11 14:45

I was always very skeptical about 3d anime, but Studio Orange turned me around. I'll always love the traditional 2D work, but this is so dynamic and expressive. I'm loving it! 🔥🔥🔥

On top of that another banger by Ano-chan. Too bad I'm pretty sure the anime community in generał will sleep on this show just like they did with season 1. Especially among youtube creators and reactors.
