4239

i loved the old one but i dont understand what material they gonna adapt . either way this series coming back along with bleach and slamdunk means a lot for the anime fans of 2000

Yuna 4y
i read the beginning of the manga and this is the continuation of the "main story"
where kaoru and kenshin are already married
- Spacemajin 4y
  when tf did this happen? After Kyoto or sumn? and BTW RUROUNI KENSHIN LIKE A REAL SEASON COMING BACK? DEADASS?
  drdiablo 4y
  the series continue on to the final season, you can see it for yourself
  Yuna 4y
  If you read the manga it would be after
  the fight with tomoe's brother and at the end of it it is shown that kenshin and kaoru are together
  And yeah it's a real sequel with also a new cast, which also has major role and aren't only supporting roles, from a spin off the manga
  Spacemajin 4y
  I haven't read the manga I stopped at Kyoto, so are they going to skip the arc right after Kyoto? If so that's a lil wack
  
  And wait, did u say NEW cast? Like.... is this like the Yashahime to the Inuyasha series??? Or the Boruto to Naruto???
  Yuna 4y
  In the first place, the anime only went until the Kyoto Arc and continued with 4 anime filler arcs and finished with the Feng Shui Arc (the 4th of the filler arcs). But it never had the final season with the main story, the Jinchu Arc, where
  Kenshin would be confronted by his late wife's brother. There, his history and background as the Hitokiri Battosai is furthermore explained and how he actually met his wife Tomoe. Compare to the anime, the manga is instantly followed by the final arc (Jinchu Arc) after the Kyoto Arc. So to know the ending you have to read the manga first, which is pretty stupid since they never ended the main story in the anime. So yeah pretty whack
  
  And the cast still remains with Kenshin, Kaoru, etc. as the main cast, though Yahiko is given more of a supporting role. But there will be a new addition to the cast from a spin-off, which will have a rather major role, but still not as important as Kenshin's I think.
  
  This is the spin-off:
  Rurouni Kenshin Side Story The ExCon Ashitaro

NurAhmad 4y
Interesting. I hope this one is going to be good
- drdiablo 4y
  me too, animating these anime with technology available now gonna be a treat for us
- Removed 4y
  Dude. This is gonna be animated by the same studio that made 2016 Berserk.
  ImprisonedXII 4y
  Millepensee and GEMBA studios made 2016 Berserk
  Jejey 4y
  Also the same studio that made tokyo revengers
  AWeebTaku 3y

  Way better example to use now

it's a sequel
- drdiablo 4y
  are you sure, i just read somewhere chances are high for remake?
Angelo 4y
Adaptation of the Hokkaido arc.

At least that should be the case.
- gugugagaa 4y
  The Jinchu arc should be adapted first before going to the Hokkaido arc
  Angelo 4y
  Ah right.
  Angelo 4y
  But the Reflections OVA covered some of it tho.
  gugugagaa 4y
  Yeah, but adapting the Hokkaido arc immediately would be confusing to anime-onlys (at least, that’s what I think)
  Angelo 4y
  Not sure it's aimed towards a new audience to begin with tbh.
  gugugagaa 4y
  Just my assumption
  Yuna 4y
  the reflections ova is independent from the hokkaido arc and doesn't refer to the manga at all, though the ending can still be treated canon.
  while this one's ending is rather a sad ending, watsuki's ending of the manga is more of a happy one
requiemsama 4y
As someone who watched it back in 2001, this gives me both joy and fear.
Joy that the very first anime I ever watched is revolving back into the spotlight.
Fear that my expectations might be unfairly high.
- drdiablo 4y
  we are getting it anyways so lets enjoy !!!
SUPERX4PANDA 4y
yeah im not sure its either an anime adaptation of the last arc which never got one, or a completely new sequel which I'd be more excited more
- drdiablo 4y
  i wish it was a remake
Removed 4y
The anime's twitter claims to be an anime project from the original manga. The only mention of Hokkaido is that it is Watsuki's current project. There is no confirmation if it is a sequel or a remake. There are only guesses, nothing should be considered a confirmation yet.

  hoping its a remake
Kuraage 4y
Read the entire original manga but never watched the anime, is this a new season? Should I start off with the 96 one first and then watch this?
- Removed 4y
  There is still no confirmation if this is a sequel or a remake. So there's no way to give you an exact answer yet unfortunately
  Kuraage 4y
  Ohh, I see..:o
DesolatePsyche 4y
I mean it has to be remake? Didn't he die at the final Anime movie? Or that wasn't canon?

Whatever it is, looking forwards for it.
- Yuna 4y
  which movie? and i'm pretty sure this is a continuation
  DesolatePsyche 4y
  Rurouni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Seisouhen
Kaimaru 4y
If you have watched the live action movie series of this too, can you tell me whether this series cover up the main story of the original manga/anime or not? Because i have never tried the manga/anime.
- Yuna 4y
  nope not at all, it's really only an adaption of the sequel of the main manga and its story
  Kaimaru 4y
  I see, thanks for the reply :)
  Blueaka 4y
  man please, don't spread misinformation. There is no confirmation or news source that this anime will be a sequel. Even if in the future it is confirmed as one, saying now that it really is, is just misinformation
  i also believe it will be a sequel, but to tell others that it will be while there is no confirmation is nonsense
- macchan0 3y
  It seems that this will be a full remake of the old anime, they've said that they will redo it from episode 1
  Removed 3y
  that's great
Salahuddin3 4y
Im sooo excited !
Im a big Rurouni Kenshin Fan
Removed 4y
Gonna be made by the same studio that animated 2016 berserk. Not excited
- Removed 4y
  Berserk is not an example for this. Tetsuro Satomi wanted the Berserk anime to be in 3D, even though other producers warned that it would be difficult. The studio and the staff did what was requested, nothing could be done about it unfortunately. If Rurouni gets a good direction with a good staff, plus a good production schedule, we will have something decent
  ToddHarry258 3y
  @hiroreis it was animated by Milipense and GEMBA while Lidenflims was one of the producers and wasn't involved with its animation production and Berserk's issue that Milipense as an anime studio was small size wise to handle it especially with the tight schedule.

Remake
Removed 3y
people are actually hyped for this? sad but then again this is anime fans for you
- ShuuSama 3y
  What? Lmao
VisualStudios 3y
So it looks like, from the trailer, it'll be a full reboot... I am done... I hate reboots... they never EVER do justice to originals.

The only reboot that has slapped the original one has to be Space Battleship Yamato 2199...

EDIT: Hunter x Hunter (2011) too was perfectly adapted compared to the og.
- Removed 3y
  I mean, the original might be good, but it doesn't do the manga justice. Filled with fillers, an incomplete adaptation, and a movie to end the anime with a story that takes away the meaning of Kenshin's redemption. The old anime itself has numerous flaws
  VisualStudios 3y
  You're absolutely right about that. The original Hunter x Hunter anime is the perfect example.
FateG0LD 3y
its a full remake
