The staff of the Trigun Stampede anime posted three more cast members for the anime, the clean, creditless ending animation sequence (with the song "Hoshi no Kuzu α"), the preview for episode 3, and vinyl record release information for the theme songs on Saturday.
The new cast members will voice characters debuting in the anime's third episode next week:
Ayumu Murase as Elendira the Crimsonnail
Kento Fujinuma as Gray the Ninelives
The company TOY'S STORE will release the anime's opening and ending theme songs on vinyl record on February 22.
Ryō Horikawa previously voiced Mine the E.G. Mine (as the character's name was written in the manga) in the 1998 Trigun anime.
The new anime premiered on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ channels on January 7 at 11:15 p.m. (9:15 a.m. EST). The series moved to its regular 11:00 p.m. timeslot for subsequent episodes.
