Template:Short description Trigun is an anime television series based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. The series follows Vash the Stampede, the most feared outlaw on the planet, who has a $$60 billion ("double dollar") price on his head. He displays a kindhearted, goofy demeanor and goes out of his way not to hurt anyone if he can help it. Most of the destruction blamed on him is actually caused by the extreme measures people take to capture or kill him for the reward; as a result, he has been nicknamed "The Humanoid Typhoon." As he travels across the planet to meet a certain man, he also meets two women, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, tasked with investigating his actions and minimizing the damage associated with them.
The anime was directed by Satoshi Nishimura at Madhouse, with Yōsuke Kuroda handling series composition, Takahiro Yoshimatsu providing character designs, and music composed by Tsuneo Imahori. The series was originally broadcast on TV Tokyo from April 1 to September 30, 1998. It is licensed for DVD and Blu-ray[1] in the United States by Funimation Entertainment, who re-released it on DVD on October 27, 2010.[2] The opening theme is "H.T.", written and arranged by Tsuneo Imahori, while the ending is Template:Nihongo, written, composed, arranged, and sung by Akima & Neos. Trigun was released on VHS and Laserdisc, and later DVD, by JVC and marketed by Victor Entertainment in Japan.
The English version was initially released on VHS and DVD by Pioneer Entertainment (U.S.) L.P., and when the company became Geneon, re-released as a new box-set. In the mid-2000s, Geneon re-released Trigun on DVD in a REMIX edition featuring the video, digitally remastered for optimal video quality and the sound, also remastered and remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital AC-3 surround sound. Funimation re-released the series on DVD in late 2010 upon Geneon's collapse. In the United Kingdom, the anime was released on DVD by MVM Films, starting in 2005 and projected to be finished by the end of 2006 (there were delays due to a fire at a disc duplication plant in August 2005)Script error: No such module "Unsubst"..
