Rurouni Kenshin

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!

This is a fantastic looking new appearance of an old friend. The updated graphics are incredible and I love how faithfully that are sticking to the story. I can't wait to see each and every episode. And I am ecstatic that Kenshin is available to this new generation. I hope they will love him and his story as much as I do. I'm super excited to see the new animation take on some of the more fantastic fights and storylines! I'm so glad Kenshin and the gang is back!!

It definitely kinda sucks that they're releasing one week at a time, but it also gives me something to look forward to, so I can't complain too much!

The text is more coherent but very explanatory, almost obvious.

Kenshin is definitely more haughty, in the first episodes he is even a little arrogant, taking away the charm of the super humble wanderer.

Animation slightly updated but without surprising improvements.

But the biggest loss of all is the soundtrack. In addition to the completely dull opening and ending (when the originals were outstanding), you don't hear anything during the anime. No classical Japanese music or instrumentals demarcating the era, and nothing exciting. I don't like the acceleration of events, it also gives in to a generation Z culture, taking away the charm of shifting time and space to a historical era. It lacks the soul of the Japanese flute, the cuts of peaceful scenery and water fountains.

Another loss is the voices, especially for Brazil. It's not too bad because Kenshin hasn't changed that much but he's very youthful. Sano's voice was iconic. For now we await greater cohesion in the main arc of Kyoto hell, and the animated sequel to the manga. Maybe the remake of Seiso-hen.

Rurouni Kenshin, or Samurai X, is one of my favorite fictional stories, not just anime/manga. The anime of the nineties totally marked my generation, it is an epic with a very deep message, historical accuracy and great action.

This remake, based on the first episode, left me with very good impressions. Everything seems to indicate that it will be a completely faithful version of the original story, which is to be appreciated since said story is perfect. The animation and voice acting in general are very well done.

There is only one negative detail that I want to comment on, to my personal taste, the opening theme is horrible! It doesn't match anything with the style of the anime, it's a shame because the openings of the classic anime were very good. I was about to lower a note of the score for that, but the truth is a rather minor detail.

I'm glad that the new generations can now enjoy and learn from Kenshin Himura's philosophy, let's hope that everything continues on the right track and that they at least end up adapting all the content of the manga.

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.
