Trigun Watch Order
4 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Trigun Stampede, Trigun Stargaze, Trigun: Badlands Rumble
The Trigun watch order has two paths. The 1998 Madhouse series, Trigun (Episodes 1-26), follows Vash the Stampede, a pacifist gunman with a huge bounty on his head, across a desert planet with insurance agents Meryl and Milly and the priest Wolfwood. Trigun: Badlands Rumble (2010) is an optional stand-alone film set around episodes 10-12, best watched after the series. The second path is Orange's CG reboot: Trigun Stampede (Episodes 1-12, 2023), which retells Vash's story from the start with big changes, then Trigun Stargaze (Episodes 1-12, 2026), its final season, set two and a half years later. Watch either path: the 1998 series is a complete, anime-original take that ends before the manga does, while Stampede and Stargaze are a separate, complete retelling.

They do not continue each other, so either is a fine start.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.

Trigun watch order FAQ
What order should I watch Trigun in?
Two complete paths: Trigun (1998, 26 episodes), then the optional Badlands Rumble film; or the reboot, Trigun Stampede (12) then Trigun Stargaze (12). They do not continue each other, so either is a fine start.

No. Stampede is a reboot that retells Vash's story from the start, so it works on its own. Watch it, then Trigun Stargaze, which ends the reboot.
