The uber geeks

Trigun gets the big screen treatment.

Finally! What great news to find on a seemingly mundane Thursday.

This anime has a special importance for me because it was the first anime series I’d ever watched, and still remains one of my favorite of all time. The plot is basic but some of the action scenes and animation are the best the 90s had to offer. The main character, Vash, remains one of my favorite anime characters of all time for his goofy charm and noble character. The series had some pretty serious issues and themes present, but never took itself too seriously. If you are new to anime, this is an ideal one to get started on.

Apparently the movie will be in Japanese theatres sometime in 2009. Time to add another film to the list of movies to see in the next year. How sad it is that it’s only the end of the second month of the new year and I’m already looking forward to next year’s lineup?

    That is pretty amazing. I’m hoping they’ll get the original voice actors to do their voices again, I couldn’t imagine any other people doing their voices (in Japanese that is, not English). But everyone as a whole looks forward to movies that are coming out way in advance. Take last year for instance, everyone was (and still are) talking about movies like Indiana Jones 4, or Batman: TDK.

    My 2009 list has quickly become larger than my 2008 list. I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad about that. And yeah, I hope all the original cast comes back. I’m more concerned with plot though. Whether it’ll take place after the series, or if it’ll be a story set apart from the series completely.
