Love me some Tri-gun. But might be a little late for it

Maybe there's still hope for an Outlaw Star sequel.

At least one that isn't Angel Links.

Okay, an Outlaw Star sequel would kick ass too, but I would KILL for a Cowgirl Ed spinoff.

Definitely down for some Trigun though.

So we can expect it to suck as much as Red Dwarf's ten years after the fact movie?

Oh boy, a side story that will obviously not have any real bearing on the story of the series and is just an obvious cash in! This is Knockin' On Heaven's Door all over again...

Fuck it, I'll still see it. If it fails financially, let that be a lesson to the animation studios to strike while the iron is hot, as the South Park and the Pokemon movies proved (well, maybe the earlier Pokemon movies).

And I'll toss my vote in for an Outlaw Star sequel as well. SEQUEL, not a sidestory like this is appearing to be.

Speaking of which, either for a list or a new contest, how about the most worthless/ludicrous anime sidestories/OAV? I've got one that always stuck in my craw.

Sweet, I'm certainly not one to complain about more Trigun, even if it's pretty damn late. As long were talking about lazy animation studio's, I would kill for some more Battle Angel, bastards cut it off after two 0VA's, and yeah I agree that an Outlaw Star sequel would be nice to.

My life is now complete.

It looks like an elongate episode...which is just fine by me, since Trigun was a great series, and I think still holds up as a very "complete" anime series. I'm really intrigued about the connection between the new female character and Wolfwood. The animation looks great and its awesome to see Vash, Meryl and Millie in a new adventure!

Definitely way too late, since I went through my Trigun faze well over five years ago.

In any case, I'm not too interested in this movie because it isn't animating any of the story arcs from the manga that came after the anime finished. I'd be interested in seeing some of those (partly because I think the Trigun artist isn't very good), but not this movie. Might check it out, anyways.

I believe this is intended to coincide with the recent release of the final volume of "Trigun Maximum".
It does indeed seem to be sort of an elongated episode. It worked for the original Cowboy Bebop movie, though, and this is written and animated by everyone from the series, so I have high hopes.

Trigun movie. Meh. Greatest Thief? How's that better than Vash's equal Knives?

If it was the return of Knives I might be more interested. I think in the manga there were some Gung-Ho Guns not featured in the anime.

If they went the Bebop way and had this extended episode concept taking place sometime during the regular show then definitely facing some of the manga Gung-Ho Guns would be awesome.

@MattK

Yes, an Outlaw Star sequel would kick ass. The show ends on that possibility.

ABOUT FRIGGING TIME!

Adore Trigun, but I haven't seen it in just so long...and I'm thinking most others will feel the same. The excitement of being fresh off (or moderately fresh off) a newly watched series went away long ago. I'll wait my one year for my Gundam 00 movie, but over 7 years (for me) for Trigun? I can already feel it being put in to the 'I'll watch it eventually' pile. Which is just a shame really. :\

Sidenote: Why do anime-based trailers almost universally suck? Throw $10 at a hardcore fan and they'll make you a nice one you guys...

I was at that panel at Anime Expo and got Yasuhiro Nightow and Satoshi Nishimura to sign Volume 1 of the manga for me. I'm really excited about the movie. There was so much energy in the room when they aired that trailer the first time.

It’s definitely late but when has that ever stopped us from caring about stuff? I mean the people who congregate here are the people who are gonna watch it, so I’m happy…Yeah it sucks that both America and Japan totally missed the ball on the anime revolution of the late 90’s-early 2000’s before the advent (or super-popularization rather) of online piracy destroyed any chances of expanding the medium….There was a time around 10 years ago when I honestly thought an anime would be on primetime national TV (I sound like a fool now but in like 2001 this is where things were heading), but that time has bitterly passed…So I’ll enjoy the Trigun movie (if it’s GOOD) regardless of Japan’s Michael Bay-esque overkill of slow-motion in bringing us a new adaptation…Obviously it’ll be better than anything Mike Bay has to offer atleast…Damn now I went on a TF rant and I didn’t even intend too…LMAO…

All I gotta say is Legato Bluesummers for teh ultimate win!!! Please, I don’t care how they do it, it’s instant win for me if the can put the most underrated anime villain of all time in this movie…Knives was a joke compared to him….

Wanna to discuss topics like this evenmore? Click my name...)

Good trailer. BAD voice over. I'll definitely see it if it's runs in a theater near me. I've got a soft spot for Vash.

Will definitely enjoy the film. I really am sick of hearing American animes fans whining about how the anime industry is dying I am sorry to say the only anime industry being hurt by fan subbing is the American anime industry which a whole industry based on bastardising anime and employing useless voice actors, most Japanese anime companies don't give a damn about the American market because they are just a culturally introverted as Americans are.

Wow. AWESOME.

A friend of mine who cosplayed Vash got me into the manga. Then he got me to cosplay Legato after seeing how cool he was in the manga and how neat the more detailed design is. The first thing I did was send him this link.

As for the movie, I rather like that it's a one off side story. I don't think you could fit the rest of the manga in one movie and I don't think I'd like to see it compressed. Maybe another series, but not a single movie. Plus this format worked for Cowboy Bebop, even if that show was more episodic. Plus this way it's more open to creating new fans from the movie.

The movie looks kinda stupid, but as long as it isn't so bad that I deny its existence, I will get it if it comes out on DVD here.

One good thing about this movie is that it may prompt a re release of the Trigun boxset which is near impossible to find offline/quite expensive online.

Although I'm not A Trigun fan, it was quite a surprise for me few months ago when Something(alias) Yoshimatsu, the character designer, posted his daily panel drawings about Trigun production on Web Anime Style.

I guess Trigun popularity never died out.

Hey, I think we should give them some credit. It may have taken some time to actually make the movie. So if they discovered in 2005 that they'd make a killing in the states, they'd have to get the rights, find the cast, then actually animate it...maybe it does take 4 years.
