Well I got all 12 volumes and then cheated and read scanlations of the ending. I have to wonder what the movie will be like. The series takes a bit different turn than the anime. It's a bunch more epic I'd say.
As for Vash vs Wolfwood.. Hmm.. Weird. I wonder how that plays out, especially in a stand alone movie. Trying to remember how that relates to the later manga story or if this will be a completely unrelated and new story.
Wait.. what? do you mind not talking out of your butt? Those three companies you mention are some of the smaller ones. Not that I wish they anything bad, but they'd be the first to go. Though RightStuf is also a distributor and retailer, more of that than a licensor actually. You totally neglect huge ones like Bandai and ADV. I don't see them going anywhere. |

About time this was announced! I was beginning to think the project would never happen. Luckily that isn't so.

Even though I know Blu was joking and this is totally off topic, the first to go was Geneon and they were easily one of the biggest companies.

The movie needs Livio and Razlo.

I couldn't possibly agree more. |

I'm mostly excited to see Wolfwood again, I adored him so. Though, this does make me wonder where this is supposed to fit within the continuity of the series.. if it does at all. It could just be a sort of alternate universe type of thing. In any case, it's all making me want to go and watch Trigun again. It has been a few years after all.

Man, I heard about the possibility of a Trigun movie years ago. I was beginning to think it would never happen.

Wow, I had assumed this had been canceled or at least was on indefinite hiatus since we hadn't heard anything for so long. This is great though.
I guess I'm one of the few people that don't see having the same VAs as a big deal. If it is a completely original story that doesn't follow the anime then they aren't even really the same characters exactly anyway. I like this idea too. As much as I'd like to see more from the Trigun anime's story it is always tough to make a decent plot that fits within an already complete plot without resorting to random spin off territory. This way we get the excellence of Trigun's characters and concept. However, they are free to rework it effectively into a story that fits into a 2 hour movie. |

I don't know, really. I think both the anime and manga are great, neither is inferior to the other (though I think the anime's writing is actually better). I don't really see the point of a "more faithful" adaptation. It's not like they butchered the manga or anything. (Not to mention that Nightow was there as an advisor for the anime, so I guess the anime staff pretty much did the best they could with what they had to work with.)
He's dead in the manga, too... and while it's been a while since I read Trigun, I don't really know where they could insert a "V vs W" story even in that storyline. Which is, I think, the reason the movie will be an original story that probably re-introduces all characters. |

I'm very happy to hear this news. Actually I liked Bosch as Vash. He has a childlike and optimistic quality in his voice which I thought was right for that part which contrasted the violence around him. Now in Eureka I didn't think he was right because he sounded like a man trying to sound like a child. Anyway although I prefer dubs I hope they can get the original English cast back.

Oh wow, I always wanted more Trigun...
but how far does the manga go past the anime ending? (seeing as how the anime ended 9.5 years ago). |

Way to bring back a dead topic, but I guess I can answer your question... Save for all core characters, most one-off stories, and a couple key events that are similar to each other in both stories, the anime really has nothing to do with the manga plot-wise. It takes its strictest departure, however, in episode 19 of the anime and volume 5 of the Maximum manga, where they truly branch off and have nothing to do with one another. Not like they were real similar to begin, with, though... |

I know this is an old thread but I don't really know where else on the entire internet to post this. It's from this month's issue of Young King Ours, the japanese magazine. I don't read Japanese so I don't know what it says. I took the photo myself.
