Just a rumor for now picked up by a few random news outlets that Trigun the weird whimsical Wild West SciFi Adventures following the Protagonist Vash the Stampede, might be getting some new content.
Well, the first anime adaptation did kinda butcher the source material; maybe they're looking to emulate Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood's success at at producing something that's more faithful to the original?

The same is true of Trigun; the anime only covers the first three volumes out of what would eventually become a seventeen volume series.In fairness to the original Fullmetal, it was in production while the manga was still being written. Eventually it reached a point where it would’ve had to either go on hiatus or continue the story without the manga.
Thanks for info - but,if Vash arleady defeated his brother,then what was he doing for the next 14 volumes? slices -of-life ?The same is true of Trigun; the anime only covers the first three volumes out of what would eventually become a seventeen volume series.
My understanding(never read the manga), is that the anime and the manga stories diverge.Thanks for info - but,if Vash arleady defeated his brother,then what was he doing for the next 14 volumes? slices -of-life ?
romance?
P.S Anime was good.
I've only ever read summaries, but from reading them it honestly feels like the manga is almost a completely different story than the anime. One too depressing and up its own ass regarding the main character's terminal pacifism schtick (far more so than even the anime, where I already found it to be pretty annoying) for me to ever want to read.I hope they're just going to give it the same treatment as Hellsing and Fullmetal Alchemist, which is to say take another run at it in order to stick closer to the manga source material. I have a feeling that a lot of fans of the anime will be disappointed, though, as the manga is quite a bit different from the anime in both story and tone. Actually a lot of the criticism I've seen of the anime is that people liked the light-hearted episodic nature of the early episodes and didn't like it when the series got more serious and started to follow a more definite storyline.
3D animation? Shit.
Orange is the one anime studio that has managed to make it work though. They're behind both Land of the Lustrous, as well as Beastars; so the 3D animation should be fairly good.3D animation? Shit.
Okay sooooo... this isn't Trigun. It's just not. The animation is impressive, but... none of the characters look like themselves. Vash is a kid with a giant robot arm, Meryl Stryfe looks kinda like Miyata from Hajime no Ippo wearing lipstick, and Wolfwood is that cat mage guy from Fernanda Dias' animations on Youtube:
Also, Meryl is apparently a reporter when she first meets Vash in this version, and Milly Thompson just plain isn't there. She's been replaced by some guy called "Roberto de Niro".
All in all? Turns out it was neither a new adaption of the manga, nor a sequel to it or the 1998 anime; it's a "reimagining" of the original work that barely resembles it.
Usually you don't see this sort of thing in anime; the industry tends to have a thing about being true to the source material. You'd be far more likely to see something like this done in live action.Ya I may watch a couple of episodes just to see what they did but overall I can not help but think this is just an anime version of I Robot. Take the name to get a built in audience for a prewritten script.
