Trigun X

Trigun X is an animated movie based on the series Trigun. It is expected to be released in Japan in 2007. It is being produced by Madhouse, the same company that created the anime.

There is much speculation on whether it will be a sequel to the anime series or whether it will be an adaptation of the manga, kind of equivalent to the Hellsing OVAs. The film seems more likely to be a sequel because the original TV series left out major plot points of the manga, like the black hair of Vash, and ending when Vash spared Knives's life. The original series also leaves out Legato's broken spine and the Gung Ho Guns' betrayal. It is possible, though, that it could be a kind of redo because of the lack of still living characters. (Wolfwood, Legato, and the Gung-Ho Guns are all dead.) Fan speculation seems to be leaning more towards a sequel because only one movie/volume was ever announced and it seems highly unlikley that one movie can fit the whole Trigun story.

The October 2005 issue of the British anime magazine Neo includes an interview with the production studio Madhouse's founder, Masao Maruyama. In it he says the studio is working on a Trigun Movie that should be released in a "couple of years". The November issue of Anime Insider also confirms this news.
