CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

The official website for the Trigun the Movie project has opened on Friday with an announcement of the movie's opening in spring of 2010.

The story is set in Makka, a town surrounded by quicksand. With rumors spreading that the legendary robber Gasback has his sights set on the town, the mayor Kepler has brought together bounty-hunters to protect the town. These bounty hunters have been following Gasback from town to town in hopes of bagging the prize. Meryl and Milly, two characters previously seen in Yasuhiro Nightow's manga and the later television anime series, have come to town to assess the situation as insurance agents, but are shocked by this turn of events. Moreover, Vash the Stampede is also in town, along with the female bounty hunter Ameria and the fan-favorite character Wolfwood.

Update: More story information added.

Update 2: Masaya Onosaka, Sho Hayami, Hiromi Tsuru, and Satsuki Yukino reprise their roles of Vash the Stampede, Nicolas D. Wolfwood, Meryl Stryfe, and Milly Thompson, respectively.

Oh wow, this is actually kind of awesome. XD I'm a little bit stoked; I miss Trigun! I wonder if it'll be licensed here!

YES!!

FINALLY!!

♪Trigun coming to theaters! Trigun coming to theaters!♪ *boogie*

So is this film based on the Manga continuity or the Anime? The Manga would probably be the most viable since there are large segments of unaccounted for time (plus, this would allow Wolfwood in particular to bust out some cool stuff he never showed in the Anime).

Though really, who am I kidding. It's probably just a fun flick that tosses continuity out the window.

Yes! I hope we get to see it too. It'd be great to hear Johnny Yong Bosch voice one of his favorite characters.

Sounds like the typical fun side-story stuff.

This reminds me that I need to finish Trigun.

This thread has reminded me I need to watch Trigun. Thanks.

I would love to see a Trigun movie.

You know, I wouldn't have though I'd care about a Trigun movie, but my almost-but-not-quite-anime-club has been watching the show for the past few months, and I find myself unusually excited as a result.

He said he was up for it when I met him last month!

Since Nightow did a panel in AX this year and acknowledged that Trigun has a bigger following here than in Japan, I consider this very likely.

A Trigun movie! Finally! I have a special fondness for the anime, as it actually made me stronger in my faith. Despite its flaws, I think Trigun is one of the few really Christian anime out there. Just my opinion, of course.

I heard that they were coming out with a movie but it's really neat to see that it's moving along quickly. Trigun is one of my alltime favorites.

I tend toward constrained optimism in situations like this, but I cannot help but look forward to it.

I'm so happy ! I didn't think this would ever happen. I just hope that, a million years later, the actors can get back in their groove for it. When the fourth series of Slayers came out in this last year, none of the actors had touched the show for over ten years, but, they picked it up really well. yaay!
