Via Moon Phase Diary: The promotional dust jacket cover (“obi”) from volume 14 of the Trigun Maximum manga [AA] brings the news that a Trigun animated feature film is currently in production! It will feature an original story developed by manga author Yasuhiro Nightow and director Nishimura Satoshi who collaborated with Nightow on the Trigun TV series and is also known for his work on the Hajime no Ippo anime. The script will be helmed by veteran anime writer Kobayashi Yasuko, with character designs from Yoshimura Takahiro (an unknown?) and animation production from Madhouse. The tagline reads: “Vash vs. Wolfwood?! The familiar characters erupt on screen in an all-original Trigun story!” As a fan of the original TV series I’ll be keeping a close eye out as this project develops… (no more)
Say wuuut~?
Well, I guess it will be awesome. :3
I heard a rumor about this but I’m glad it’s confirmed! I recently started reading the Trigun Maximum manga (took a break though) so this is great news!
oooh neat. Never read the manga, only saw the anime, but this could be great. Gunfights abound!
it’d be cool if they could make a gungrave 2 also, but I guess not with the way gungrave went down. Maybe an alternate universe story like this new Trigun?
Hoho pretty good news! As a fan of the TV serie too, I am really looking forward that movie.
Hope the seiyuu casting will be the same ^^;
Would be odd to have someone else than Onosaka Masaya for Vash :/
damn cant wait gonna be GREAT! cu in 2009 vash !!!
I also have to say is that I heard bits and pieces that they were going to do this. But this makes me glad that they are going to become serious about it and even posted and even posted something that will keep the Trigun fans prepped.
Cool!! IT is SO coool!! I want to se this !!
didn’t they kill wolfwood off?!? not that im complaining…. just confused
I hope that as a result of this, the TV series will be re-released in the US on DVD. It’s nearly impossible/quite expensive to get right now.
