With plans for a July 30th, 2017 release, Peppermint Anime has rescued the Trigun anime series and is bringing it out as a complete collection. Owing to its age and materials, it’ll be a DVD-only release that uses the dub that was created previously for the Panini Video release of the property. The clip is a pretty good one that clocks in at just under three minutes and gives you a feel for how the dub itself was handled.
Based on the manga by Yasuhiro Nightow, the 1998 TV series was directed by Satoshi Nishimura based on the series composition by Yousuke Kuroda. Yakahiro Yoshimatsu handled the character designs and Madhouse handled the animation production.
The German cast includes Katja Liebing as Milly Thompson, Simon T. Roden as Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Stephan Schleberger as Vash the Stampede, Susanne Dobrusskin as Meryl Strife, Philipp Schepmann as Legato Bluesummers
The Japanese cast includes Hiromi Tsuru as Meryl Stryfe, Masaya Onosaka as Vash the Stampede, Satsuki Yukino as Milly Thompson, Sho Hayami as Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Aya Hisakawa as Rem Saverem, Tohru Furusawa as Millions Knives, and Toshihiko Seki as Legato Bluesummers.
Plot Concept: Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, refuses to believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby (far from a notorious outlaw). But there is more to Vash and his past than meets the eye.
