Death Note and Trigun and new feature length movie for 2009? Oh my..

Hello everyone. My name is Amy and I'm an anime addict.

If you were at my side right now (which you are not but let us pretend for a second) you would see the edge of my Veoh downloading program peeking out from behind my browser window. Upon closer inspection, you would take notice to the titles of the videos downloading; Death Note, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Soul Eater, His and Her Circumstances, etc. etc.

Those, my friends, are.. well, my friends.

Like most anime watchers I try to keep up with more than one anime at once. Thanks to sites like MyAnimeList , keeping track is a breeze. I strongly suggest anyone who watches anime sign up for an account. I know it's saved my behind more times than I'd like to say when I've forgotten what the heck number of episode I last watched of such and such anime. It also has forums, clubs, series and episode synopsis and anything else you could think of under the amazingly crazy rainbow of anime.

Speaking of rainbow, it's a bit hard for me to choose one anime to talk about this post as I watch and enjoy a large range of different anime. But, to keep things randomized and fair, I shall choose anime from different categories each post.

First up; Trigun. :D
I have to admit this anime is one of my favourites. (as well as one of my first watched) It's got action, comedy, the whole good versus evil background tone and a teeeeny bit of romance. Vash the Stampede, a.k.a my secret husband, is pretty much a good guy with a reputation made up from rumours and accidental mishaps. He's more of a klutz and scaredy cat than a villainous heathen but he's made out as such from scenarios with him involved and word of mouth. Not to mention the amount of damage caused by him and the people after his 60 billion double dollar bounty. I, myself, would've been fine with 60 billion regular dollars but I suppose the double dollar sweetens the deal. Vash meets up with Meryl and Lily, the insurance agency girls. They've been assigned to follow Vash the Stampede around (as he's been causing so much damage) and help fill out paperwork and send reports back to their insurance agency.
There's more I'd like to comment on about the storyline further into the series, but don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen. If you'd like to talk more about Trigun, feel free to give the MAL forum a look-see.

For those of you that have seen the series, a little note of interest;
The promotional cover wrapper on the 14th, and final, volume of Trigun Maximum. The movie will air in theatres in 2009. The movie will, however, contain a completely original story and Nightow and Trigun series director. The movie will be directed by Satoshi Nishimura (Trigun, Hajime no Ippo) and a script from Yasuko Kobayashi (Claymore, Shakugan no Shana, Witchblade). The series will be animated by Madhouse studios.The cover of the manga indicates that the story will be about "Vash vs. Wolfwood," the two main characters. The idea of a Trigun movie first arose over 2 years ago in an interview with Madhouse founder Masao Maruyama.

Oh me oh my! I don't know about you but that is definitely EXCITING news for me! I can't wait to see my Vash all fresh and new again. I can't wait. I hope it works out alright though.. would hate for the movie to fall off track with the series and plunder. Mind you, Vash vs Wolfwood.. who do you think would win? I can't stray from my lurvely Vash so my mind is set. What do you think? Comment awaaaay~
