Im in the Kyoto arc now and this shit is good. Saito is a fascinating foil to Kenshin. Shishio employing this army of psychos. No spoilers! Super cool shit so far.
She took pity on me, horizontally, but most likely because of my band
Kyoto arc is one of my favorite arcs of any manga/anime. The ost and direction in the anime is so damn good.
Currently playing: Nothing
It's the Dark Tournament of the series. It peaks so considerably hard that nothing afterwards could have feasibly lived up to it.
...I think I'm done here...

*Currently playing rise of the ronin with kenshin's ost stuck in my mind since the game also covers the time period around the meiji era*

People wanted to know what happened with his past which is why that arc was made.

Have you seen the OVAs? I watched them just prior to starting the Kyoto arc when I watched. Shit goes hard from the get-go and really fills in how Kenshin was.

It was a surprise to many to find out he was married but honestly he is only a jerk to Kenshin because both of them still hold a grudge being on opposing sides in the Boshin War.

Hes also a terrifying, murderous assassin. But yeah he does have a sense of good to him sort of

I tried watching that but I just couldn't do it.

The last episode I remember, all the bad guys got killed by a gatling gun and it was supposed to be sad or something, like they weren't the literal bad guys .

The only thing that sucked in the Jinchu arc was the four random dudes that appeared in the end. And the asspull Kenshin used in the end to win too I guess.

Yes, now this work is incredible.

It was actually my favorite "movie" (it's actually an OVA series but it's film-length if you combine the episodes, so I count it) of all time for a good many years.

It was actually why I tried the anime. Naturally, I was surprised at how different the tone was, lol.
There's a reboot going on right now? How is that coming along VS the original release?
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.

Too bad the mangaka is a pedophile that was caught buying loads of child porn, thereby actively playing a direct financial role in the exploitation of minors, and only got a slap on the wrist for it.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
There is also a full from beginning to end live action movie series that covers the story of Rurouni Kenshin. Originally they just made 3 movies but then they went and finished the story with the last 2 movies bringing the saga full circle.

I've no reason to revisit it after the show creator was outed as a convicted pedophile.

He wasnt caught buying it, he was caught with it in his iirc work place office. He fucking had it at work. The fuck.

It's ok and more accurate to the manga but the presentation is nowhere near the OG release. I dropped it halfway through but if it makes it to the final arc that wasn't adapted in the OG anime then I'll pick it back up again.

Hate the creator for being the worst kind of person yes but separate the great work he made with Kenshin.

When he can no longer profit from it, maybe I'll watch it.

Man, I've wanted to watch the remake, but I really can't after hearing about what the mangaka did and everything following.

Especially considering he even continued right afterwards, and I believe even continues to profit off of it.

Yeah, I'm surprised it too so long to mention the terrible author. I know that's kept me from wanting to get into the series, despite liking the bits I saw as a kid.

From what I remember, a ton of other really big names in the the industry vouched for him, including a lot of famous mangaka (which was disgusting) and he only got something like a 2000 dollar fine after pleading guilty for everything and went right back to work 6 months later. Even more disgusting was how many great mangaka came out in support for him afterwards.

The whole situation is very fucked up.

Yuck, thats so disappointing. Reminds me of all those people highlighted in that Nickelodeon doc that vouched for Brian Peck.

Anyway back to the story: watching Saito fight Usui (?) and Saito rocks. Kirk Thornton put in such a great VA performance. Both these dudes did actually

Stream on Amazon/vudu is the only legal way I think. I bought my blu ray physical for the trilogy when they came out in the US years ago.

The best shonen anime are the ones that have a team of bad guys and the protags team has to fight them one-on-one (sort of)
