Rurouni Kenshin

The original anime adaptation was great, it's the first adaptation of Kenshin that I fell in love with. Then, I watched the movies with Satoh Takeru were awesome. Satoh will Always be the best live action Kenshin and Battousai. I was itching and hoping for a newer version anime for Kenshin. I haven't read the manga, but I understand they strayed pretty far from the source material in the 1996 series. Im hoping with this new version, they'll stay true to Kenshin's story and have more of a balance of characters. Im on episode 11, and so far there's more chemistry between Kenshin and Kaoru, Kenshin and Sano and all together the bond between all of them as friends. The Jin-e arch was amazing in this version, gave me chills seeing him revert to Battousai. Which, I think the actor they chose for the sub version does an incredible job as Kenshin and Battousai. Overall, I think this is a worthy, and very very good remake.

As a manga reader, I love shonen and watching anime. This series was the beginning of my manga reading journey, and as a long-term manga reader, the first time experience is the best but in the long-term you will have a sense and taste of artwork that will be provided to you throughout different mangas for me "Rurouni kenshin" stood out, it had it all, mind blowing paneling, the artwork and dialog was satisfying to look at and read through with these amazing fights with really badass characters with amazing motivation that delivers with a great moments in finding out more about the characters and having them engage in moments of life and death are beautiful that I say. Overall, I love the anime so much with its style and all. It's obviously different from the 90s work because we're in the future now, and it's not the 90s anymore. I hope it keeps going until we have a complete kenshin series from beginning to end. Keep up the excellent work.

My dad always said, "Oh, Kenshin, Kenshin is awesome," and stuff like that. But I never had the patience to watch the old series. But I saw that this remake was released by an unknown studio, Liden Films, and I decided to watch it. I'm not kidding when I say I almost had a breakdown when I saw how good the anime is. Great animation, one of the best openings I've ever seen (the second one almost made me have another breakdown because the music was so addictive), good script... Did I mention the animation? Anyway, everything in this anime gives me enormous joy, especially the fights, because the satisfaction of seeing Kenshin beating everyone up is priceless. I would like everyone to watch it without fear, because besides being really good, it's an extremely competent reboot and a great alternative to study Japanese history, because the plot is literally centered on Ancient Japan. Thank you guys at Liden for the masterpiece.

True to the manga...almost perfect except for the opening theme!!! Why oh why?! Hope they will not get the same artist or same genre for the op. Song in the next seasons.

And... crossing my fingers that the animation will be consistent all throughout.

Still is my favorite anime, made me very happy since it's been a while since I enjoyed one, glad they made a reboot and I'm looking forward to the Shishio and Enishi arcs.

Kenshin is love love love! Yaasssssss! This is how happy I am. Hahaha. Hope it will be appreciated by the generation today...where most animes are isekai related... it's time for a break.

This is a classic to me, growing up as a 10yr old watching toonami and watching this orginally gave me chills and further developed my love for anime. The first episode is real nostalgic and made me remember when I used to pick up a broomstick and act like a samurai. To see this captured in modern animation is flawless. They played it safe in episode one with some minor changes in story but I'm happy they did. There will hopefully be a new generation of watchers seeing this for the first time and I hope it tells the story wonderfully. I will a major watcher of this show. I cannot wait to see what is coming next! A must watch!
