Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network

MoeMoe writes "Well I was just watching Cartoon Network and it looks like Trigun will begin airing in just a couple of weeks. The CN website gives a brief description here" Trigun is among my favorite anime series. It gets a little crazy by the end, but for the most part it's pretty lighthearted fun, with some great action. CN sure seems to love the Anime Sci Fi Westerns. I wonder if they'll carry some of the fluffier stuff besides Tenchi. Love Hina would be a fun choice. Or Excel Saga.

Why not air something *new*

[autopr0n]

I mean really. I think the cartoon network would get a lot more viewers if they didn't air stuff that everyone's seen a million times before.

For those that havn't seen it, though, Trigun is very cool.

The funny thing about trigun is that the first 12 episodes are almost all filler and the last 12 are all the content. you could skip the first 12 and still totally understand the whole story.

So if you dont like it at first hang in there...the sci-fi story that kicks in around ep 12 is really cool.

Or maybe they provided bg info?

The first few episodes introduced vash, the kind of man he is, the world he lives in, and a lot more. You can't just jump in to the next 14 because you miss out on some basic info related to the series. Besides they were entertaining... my favorite eps are the first few.

There's an interview with a writer/producer for Toonami here that discusses the topic.

Please consider actually paying for the dvds. Paying for anime will bring more anime to the usa in the future and encourages things like having anime on usa tv.

When you just download and encourage others to download anime you are hurting the usa anime industry which is not big and powerful like the RIAA and actually does need your money.

I don't however have anything against downloading fansubs of shows that arnt in the usa yet. If you really like the series buy the DVDs later for the extras.

Dubbed vs Subbed

[Mossfoot]

Well, I don't think there is any chance Cartoon Network will use the subtitled version... but is it my imagination or is dubbing getting better overall (perhaps not in Trigun, but overall). I remember when Akira first came out dubbed in English and half the voices sounded like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... then the DVD came out recently with much better voice acting.

I used to prefer subtitles because the dubbed versions always sounded like cheezy crap, but I think now it's getting a bit better. Part of me still prefers subtitles, though, since you can hear what the original actors were trying to emote.
