Funimation Entertainment has recently announced plans for limited theatrical release of Trigun: Badlands Rumble in the summer of 2011. It is a feature length film that is based on the Yasuhiro Nightow's popular Trigun manga. One of the most well known anime series, Trigun, is also based on the same manga. Along with their plans, Funimation also announced that of the English voice cast's four main characters, only Johnny Yong Bosch will return as the voice of gun-slinging pacifist Vash the Stampede.

In place of Dorothy Elias-Fahn, Lia Sargent, and Jeff Nimoy respectively, the new voices are:

Luci Christian as Meryl Stryfe
Trina Nishimura as Milly Thompson
And Brad Hawkins as Nicholas D. Wolfwood

On a more personal note, it really is a shame to be unable to have a reunion of the cast. Trigun is my and many people’s favorite anime, and I loved its dub. Although if only one actor was to return, it'd really be best that Vash be the one to return. And the new voices are excellent actors – though who the hell is Brad Hawkins?

Until next time, LOVE AND PEACE!
