Trigun

"In the 32nd century, a man known as "Vash the Stampede" has earned a bounty of $$60 billion ("double dollar") on his head and the nickname "The Humanoid Typhoon" (人間台風) after accidentally destroying a city with his supernatural powers."

Synopsis
"Vash and his twin brother Knives were originally two children with a slow aging process found in a spaceship that escaped from the planet Earth after mankind had exhausted all its resources. Raised as members of  the crew, by Rem, but Knives becomes nihilistic and has most of the people in the ship disposed of. As a result, Vash lives to find his twin and have revenge. Vash is targeted by Legato Bluesummers from the Gung-ho Guns assassins who are followers of Knives. Wolfwood himself is a Gung-Ho Gun but was hired to make sure Vash does not die and instead suffer. Vash and Knives both possess the Angel Arm, which Knives forced Vash to use in the series' beginning to destroy the town.

Vash the Stampede is the man with a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. The reason: he's a merciless villain who lays waste to all those that oppose him and flattens entire cities for fun, garnering him the title "The Humanoid Typhoon." He leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever he goes, and anyone can count themselves dead if they so much as make eye contact—or so the rumors say. In actuality, Vash is a huge softie who claims to have never taken a life and avoids violence at all costs.

With his crazy doughnut obsession and buffoonish attitude in tow, Vash traverses the wasteland of the planet Gunsmoke, all the while followed by two insurance agents, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who attempt to minimize his impact on the public. But soon, their misadventures evolve into life-or-death situations as a group of legendary assassins are summoned to bring about suffering to the trio. Vash's agonizing past will be unraveled and his morality and principles pushed to the breaking point."

Trigun Stampede Team Talks CG Animation For New Series
By EVAN VALENTINE - July 30, 2022 10:49 am EDT

Trigun Stampede didn't just change the look of Vash the Stampede, but the anime studio ORANGE has changed the art style as well. Using computer-generated animation in bringing the humanoid typhoon back to life, we had the opportunity to chat with the creators behind the new series at Anime Expo, specifically asking whether there were any challenges in using this new CG style when it came to bringing back Vash the Stampede.  

At this year's Anime Expo, the creator of Trigun himself, Yasuhiro Nightow was in attendance, along with producer Kiyotaka Waki and producer Katsuhiro Takei, to answer our questions with regards to the return of Vash The Stampede. When our own Megan Peters asked about any potential challenges that arose from the new art style of the anime, here's what Kiyotaka Waki had to say:

"Everything started out with Nightow and then designing the concept art and character concepts. However, these designs are not something that we could use to use as a design for animation. So, director Muto, he took the time to understand and interpret the designs before having actual designers interpret the looks for animation."  

On top of this question, creator Nightow took the opportunity to explain how he felt this new series would stand out from the original, which was animated by Studio Madhouse in the late 1990s.

"So when they were developing this Trigun, I saw that they were taking elements from my comic and expanding it, rearranging it, restructuring it, redesigning it, and adding depth to it. They're trying to raise the quality of the show as well. I thought that there might some changes, but once they took all of the series in and started adapting it onto film, I felt that this is still Trigun. This is Trigun. I want the fans to know is that I really want them to watch this. And after watching, I think that you'll feel the same way as me – that this in some way is also Trigun."
