The Trigun franchise, which had remained a cult classic, has found renewed vitality thanks to the series Trigun Stampede, which has received praise from both critics and fans. Its first season managed to capture the attention of new followers, leaving many eager for more stories about the iconic character Vash Stampede. Thus, an official sequel titled Trigun Stargaze has been officially announced, set to premiere in January 2026.
One, two, trigun
The next installment promises to continue the protagonist’s narrative; however, its production has faced certain delays. Studio ORANGE, also known for its work on other popular series like Beastars, has been in charge of the anime’s production. Their workload on other projects has postponed the debut of Trigun Stargaze, despite the excitement for the sequel having quickly built up after the success of the first part.
Recently, during the New York Comic Con, a new trailer was presented that has excited fans and revealed the inclusion of iconic characters, such as Milly Thompson, a feature that may please followers of the original series. In addition, Crunchyroll will be the platform responsible for distributing the series in simulcast, allowing global access to new episodes at the same time they air in Japan.
With the intention of faithfully adapting Yasuhiro Nightow’s manga, ‘Trigun Stargaze’ seeks to provide an appropriate conclusion to the story of Vash the Stampede. Fans, eager to see how events unfold, hope that this sequel manages to capture the essence of the classic and provides the conclusion they deserve. Expectations are high, but the legacy of Trigun continues to show that a good story can be reborn and attract new audiences.

Science Fiction in World War I
Set in 1914, Leviathan takes place during a period marked by the political tension leading up to World War I. The plot follows Aleksandar, a prince played by Ayumu Murase, who escapes his responsibilities to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and Deryn, a young woman who disguises herself as a boy to join the Royal Air Service, played by Natsumi Fujiwara. Their paths cross in a living aircraft, triggering a series of events that will change their lives forever.
What distinguishes Leviathan from other productions is that it is not based on a manga, but on a trilogy of novels by author Scott Westerfeld, who has been deeply involved in the production, ensuring that his vision is reflected at every stage of development. On the other hand, the series will be directed by Christophe Ferreira, known for his work on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and the original music will be composed by Joe Hisaishi, the renowned composer from Studio Ghibli.
The series will integrate military elements with fantastic instances and a steampunk aesthetic, creating a unique visual experience. In addition, Qubic Pictures, famous for works like Eden and Star Wars: Visions, is joining in the production, which generates anticipation for the quality of the final product. With its premiere scheduled for the summer of 2025, Leviathan is already generating interest among anime fans.
We tell you which are the best anime that have premiered in 2023 so you don’t miss any of the great series that Japan has given us.
It is undeniable that 2023 has been an excellent year for anime. There has been a great variety of productions, with something for everyone, and making a selection of the best has been basically impossible. That doesn’t mean we haven’t tried. That’s why we have chosen the anime series that we think you must watch, if you haven’t already, because in a year of great series, these are the best of the best.
If there was something we didn’t expect, it was that one of the great anime of the year would be an adaptation of a comic. And by this we mean that we are talking about a Western work, not a manga. Because besides being extremely unusual, it rarely turns out well. Even if one of the great anime of last year was Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Offis not only one of the great animes of the year, but it is also the definitive adaptation of Scott Pilgrim. With the actors from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie dubbing the characters and Anamanaguchi returning to do the soundtrack after doing it for the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game video game, the most surprising thing is the direction of Abel Góngora. And it is surprising because he proves to be one of the most promising authors of current animation. And that’s saying a lot coming from a Science Saru production.
Tengoku Daimakyo
Also known as Heavenly Delusion, this is the series that has caused the most commotion, probably by surprise. Although the manga is known and loved, it doesn’t have the following that the anime has achieved. A well-deserved following.
Telling a science fiction story, survival and with certain touches of romance, Tengoku Daimakyo has shown that people are eager for more complex and nuanced post-apocalyptic stories. Thanks to its mature character, the charisma of its characters and the mystery of its world, Tengoku Daimakyo has become one of the most popular animes of 2023. And the one we are most looking forward to a second season.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury
If there is a series that we intimately associate with anime, it is Mobile Suit Gundam. It was born in anime, has grown in anime, and its greatest developments have been in the medium. And it is wonderful to see how its latest iteration so far, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, is not only one of the best series in the franchise, but one that has managed to open it up to a wider audience. Much younger and predominantly female. Exactly the same audience that fell in love with the original series.
In addition to having the first female and LGBTQ+ protagonist, the series remains Gundam. It still has an anti-militarist, anti-capitalist message and an evident Shakespearean tone. Something that makes it an excellent series for anyone who wants to not only see excellently written characters trying to navigate impossible situations, but also incredible giant robots.
Naoki Urasawa is one of the great mangakas of our time. Pluto is, probably, his masterpiece along with 20th Century Boys.That’s why it’s not surprising that the anime adaptation of his work brought to us by Netflix has been crowned as one of the great animes of the year. It was simply inevitable. And with good reasons.
With a dark, deep, and mature story that questions what it means to be human, what are the limits of individual rights, and where someone becomes human, the series explores profound moral questions while developing a thrilling detective story. All of this is linked to one of Osamu Tezuka’s most mythical stories, Astro Boy. This adds an extra impact due to all the mythological richness it entails.
Skip and Loafer
Sometimes all we need is a nice romantic anime to heal our souls. But Skip and Loafer is much more than that. Its protagonist, Mitsumi Iwakura, is a small-town girl who moves to Tokyo with her aunt to attend a prestigious institute. Her problem is that she has a very naïve personality and also has absolutely crazy ambitions. This will lead her to charming, but constant, conflicts and misunderstandings with her surroundings. Especially when she meets a boy who seems to be the opposite of her: Sosuke Shima.
Although it may sound like a typical romantic comedy, it is not. The problems of the characters in Skip and Loafer are very real and, at times, can really hit hard. Both protagonists are very deep characters, with complex internal conflicts, which develop over time. All this without ceasing to be two charming goofballs that are easy to develop an extraordinary affection for. An easy series to recommend.
Trigun Stampede
Classics are classics for a reason, but sometimes they need a facelift. In the case of Trigun Stampede, this is because the original manga and anime of Trigun by Yasuhiro Nightow took so many twists and turns that, although he considers it an excellent work, the mangaka does not consider it the definitive work. This is something that is being addressed with this new anime, which aims to be a more complete and rounded work.
With an excellent use of 3D animation, a completely amazing new character design, and radical changes in the plot, it feels fresh and different from the original series. Even if you have already seen Trigun, this is not the Trigun you know. There are so many changes that it is its own story.
Better narrated, more coherent, more direct. Something to be grateful for, considering that these were the problems of the already outstanding original series. In addition, promising that they are working “on the final phase”, we will still have more Trigun Stampede in the future, which is excellent news.
