What are you trying to imply here? That if someone prefers an adaptation that was less faithful to the source material, their opinions are somehow automatically less valid? It's curious how you never...

I was wondering who would replace the great Nobuo Tobita as Kanryuu. Mitsuaki Madono is a great choice, spot-on casting there.



I felt this episode as a whole had weaker art work than the rest,...

Well, Tsuiokuhen still mostly stuck to Watsuki's story, even if the tone was darker and more consistently grim and solemn, without the manga's moments of levity and humor. But the story events...

I don't recall the differences being the kind that would drastically change the duration of the arc, and of course, the first anime also inserted 10 filler episodes into the Tokyo arc, something this...

That would be my guess as well.

S1 ending with everyone leaving for Kyoto (not just Kenshin), and then S2 can begin with Kenshin's journey there and him meeting a brand new character in Misao. I...

I would say it's clear that adapting those arcs is very much the plan and that fears that they won’t do them after all amount to little more than baseless paranoia and pessimism at this point, but...

I think I can rest easy after this week, knowing the show is in good hands for Kyoto and Jinchuu. At least, I certainly felt they delivered the goods in this first genuine battle, which also...

I'm... not sure how casting Sugita means they're lowering Jinei's perceived age. Sugita is not a young VA anymore, this isn't 2006. :p He's 42 now - that's older than both the character of Jinei...

Indeed. This first part set things up really well for next week, which should easily be the best and most intense episode so far if they do the material justice. The little scuffle between Kenshin,...

Probably just the time slot it aired in. I imagine it aired during the day, while the current remake airs past midnight, so they can get away with more graphic scenes.

Speaking of censorship (or lack thereof, to be precise), we even got to see Sagara Sozo's grisly fate this time, when it was omitted in the 1996 anime (and replaced with some original scenes), and...

Sanosuke mini-arc was neatly done. The fight didn't boast incredible animation or anything, but it got the point across well enough, and as it was still a very one-sided affair with an obvious...

Music and visual direction look nice, which is not a surprise since Watanabe almost always delivers in those areas. As pinoscotto suggested above, what we really need to know now is who is writing...

Yeah, the first part with genuinely high tension in the manga or the first anime was probably the Jinei story, and that should only begin in episode 6 or so.

No matter the version, Rurouni Kenshin...
