From Crunchyroll:<blockquote>Vash the Stampede’s a joyful gunslinging pacifist, so why does he have a $$6 million bounty on his head? That’s what’s puzzling rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner when looking into the vigilante only to find someone who hates blood. But their investigation turns out to uncover something heinous—his evil twin brother, Millions Knives.</blockquote>''Stampede'' heavily references both the manga and the earlier anime adaptation in broad plot developments, but expands upon and alters many details to create a "retelling" of Vash's story. Though the previously published material is not needed to understand the plot, numerous references to those works exist throughout ''Stampede'' for an informed viewer's enjoyment. | From Crunchyroll:<blockquote>Vash the Stampede’s a joyful gunslinging pacifist, so why does he have a $$6 million bounty on his head?

Tonally and thematically, ''Stampede'' most resembles the manga, particularly ''Trigun Maximum'', quickly moving from comedic and quirky to dark, disturbing and violent, though not without comedy or hope. While still greatly inspired by the aesthetics of the American West, ''Stampede'' also uses more science fiction elements and aesthetics than previous versions. | Tonally and thematically, ''Stampede'' most resembles the manga, particularly ''Trigun Maximum'', quickly moving from comedic and quirky to dark, disturbing and violent, though not without comedy or hope.

The largest change is in the story's reshuffled timeline. Where the manga opened in the aftermath of the "Lost July" incident, and the anime also depicted the incident as already in the past, ''Stampede''<nowiki/>'s main plot begins with the city of July still standing and follows Vash as he journeys to confront his brother, accompanied by news reporters Meryl Stryfe and Roberto de Niro. Along the way, he encounters several other major characters, including Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Because they appear earlier than before in their lives and in the show's narrative, the characters are all designed to be young or incomplete versions of the ones viewers already know.<ref name=":0" /> | The largest change is in the story's reshuffled timeline.

Vash develops his conviction over the course of the series, going from uncertain in himself and fearful of his brother to determined to see Knives's plans fail, as their origins and previous confrontations are slowly revealed. | Vash develops his conviction over the course of the series, going from uncertain in himself and fearful of his brother to determined to see Knives's plans fail, as their origins and previous confrontations are slowly revealed. | ||

Created by Studio Orange, ''Stampede'' uses the same style as their previous works ''Land of the Lustrous''/''Houseki no Kuni'' and ''Beastars'': a hybrid of 3D models animated with 2D principles, warping the models in relation to the camera to resemble traditional anime stylisation.<ref name=":0" /> This is a challenging and time-consuming process, requiring two years spent creating custom software for the characters' faces alone, and five years total in production (compared to the studio's usual three years).<ref name=":0" /> | |||
