I was at the AX anime expo 2010 over in LA this year when they showed it with english subs. It was awesome, but I was in like the 6th or 7th row so it was kinda hard to see the subtitles.

To the person who asked if it takes place during the series:
Yes, and the directors actually thought hard on where to place it. Placing it after the series would have had a drastically different feel to it, and placing it before wouldn't let them have Wolfwood. So they picked a spot in that "neverwhen" of anime series and video games, where they can get away with adding extra stuff in without it breaking the rest of the story. However, they also said that if the movie does well enough, they would look into possibly animating the Trigun Maximum manga. As for me, I was never a big fan of Trigun (I watched it all, and if there's nothing else on TV, I'll watch it at least for noise), but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I saw it at Sakura-Con, so it was completely raw, so I didn't even quite understand what was going on (further than the brief explanation of the set-up pre-screening). Nevertheless, the movie did what it was supposed to do: It entertained me. I had fun watching it, even if I couldn't understand what was being said. Also, for fun, Nightow provided 6 shots (I'm assuming specific drawings) for the movie. I think I found 2-3 of them. |

That would be awesome, hopefully it does, it would be too great to have another Trigun series like that where they can really attack the material again and make another great series, the movie is going to be simultaneously a nostalgia trip and a breath of fresh air of scifi/fantasy. Perhaps just as important, it would also be nice because it would mean that we'd be seeing this team continue to work together after finally getting back together for this movie, they've been split up for far too long. |

I hated the first half, and after reading the manga/maximum I'm completely pulled over, the anime is an inferior product. The Gung Ho Guns team was the best thing the series brought. The handicapped human bullet, Hoppered the Gauntlet still is my favorite character design I've ever seen. The manga gave him even a bigger part in the series then the anime version. Handicapable persons kicking ass is what's it all about. |

Uh...okay. I guess that's true. The anime is inferior if you consider this to be what a good story should be 'all about'. |

Story? Why should I care about that 
I grew up with pulp fiction (I mean the type of novels not the Tarantino movie), exploitation movies and arcade videogames, stories are only a vehicle for adventure and the last thing I care about in my entertaiment. 
It's not like a lot of anime has good "storytelling" so a good story would go to waste innit?... I think that's the problem with a lot of japanese animation series for the last 10 years. Rather have the return of Space Adventure Cobra (anything BUT the atrocious movie) and the likes where the only thing that counted was pulpy adventures, scantly clad women in barbarella atire, cocky immortal hero and bizarre space pirate villains (which did return this year, but 13 episodes was not enough!). |
