"TRIGUN MOVIE"!! Its coming! But when?

[SpookyKatie]

Well the last I've been hearing is that it wont be out till late next year. Or later. I believe it's still in the makings.

It's true... animation, even done by computer, still takes a tremendous amount of time to do... but I'm glad they're doing this... not because I'm a huge fan, but simply because I like it when they continue something that had seemingly been on hiatus for a considerable period of time. Now, yes, I know they've been doing Trigun manga and stuff, but we here in America, for the most part, were introduced to it on television, so the video version of Trigun holds a special place in fans' hearts here in los Estados Unidos.

Okay, Animation Insider reports that the Anime News Network reports that the Trigun movie, entitled Trigun X is expected to be released in Japan in 2007 by Madhouse, the same company that created the anime.

Hmmm...2007...they don't have much time left.

So do you think it'll be a sequel taking place after the final events of the series, or will it follow some of the storylines of the Manga and Wolfwood will still be alive?

Well I got some AWESOME news for ya'll!

"Trigun the Movie"

The promotional cover wrapper on the 14th and final volume (released on Wednesday) of Yasuhiro Nightow's Trigun Maximum manga has revealed a 2009 opening for the previously announced Trigun theatrical animation project. The tentatively titled "Trigun the Movie" project will feature a completely original story from Nightow and Trigun series director Satoshi Nishimura (Hajime no Ippo/Fighting Spirit, Shin Cho Bakumatsu Shonen Seiki Takamaru), as well as a script by Yasuko Kobayashi (Claymore, Shakugan no Shana, Witchblade anime). Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Jubei-chan - Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch, Ninja Scroll series) will return from the Trigun television series to design the characters that Madhouse will animate. The manga's cover wrapper indicates the story will be about "Vash vs. Wolfwood," the two main characters of the popular manga.

Awesomeness!!!!
