During Crunchyroll and Orange’s Trigun Stampede panel, it was announced that the anime’s “Final Phase” project was revealed as Trigun Stargaze. Crunchyroll will stream the follow-up sometime in the future, with more details about the follow-up being released later on.
At the panel, it was revealed that Trigun Stargaze takes place roughly two years after the end of Trigun Stampede.

Yasuhiro Nightow’s original Trigun manga ran in Tokuma Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Captain magazine from April 1995 to June 2000 through several irregular serializations and hiatuses. Three tankobon volumes were released by Tokuma Shoten and two volumes by Shonengahosha.
It was followed by Trigun: Maximum, which was serialized in Shonengahosha’s Young King Ours magazine from October 1997 to March 2007. Fourteen tankobon volumes were released in total.
Dark Horse Comics is re-releasing both manga series in deluxe edition formats later this year.
The manga inspired a previous 26-episode anime series adaptation that aired in 1998 and an anime film titled Trigun: Badlands Rumble that was released in 2010. These were produced by Madhouse and directed by Satoshi Nishimura.
Crunchyroll is streaming Trigun Stampede and describes the series as:
Vash the Stampede’s a joyful gunslinging pacifist, so why does he have a $$6 million bounty on his head? That’s what’s puzzling rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner when looking into the vigilante only to find someone who hates blood. But their investigation turns out to uncover something heinous—his evil twin brother, Millions Knives.
