Actually, if they can pull it off in live-action (and they've shown us that they can), I'd rather they jumped right into live-action adaptation because fans will eventually want it after it's adapted into anime anyway .

The first PSP game was the first thing that adapted the Jinchu arc. Even that new Jump crossover had Kenshin doing a new technique that only happens in the manga. Considering the new manga is monthly I doubt we might get a reboot in years. Maybe never.

Almost finished
I am almost done with the original manga -- Yahiko's Sakabatou is the only thing left, and that isn't even part of the main story, as far as I can tell.
After being done with it, I will post some comments about the Jinchuu arc. Last edited by Engels; 2023-07-29 at 04:27. |

Speaking of which, this past month I managed to watch ALL FIVE live-action movies. I think I had watch snippets of the Shishio films around the time that they came out, but I shuggred them off because for me, it simply didn't look or *feel* like the anime/manga (at the time). I cannot precisely explain why. That being said, after the two Netflix movies came out, I watched them all in full (albeit a bit out of order) and had a newfound appreciation for them. I won't elaborate extensively now, but I can say in short that they not only managed to stay largely true to the 'spirit' of the original series, they were perfectly servicable action/adventure movies in and of themselves. And the stuff they 'adapted'/left out/invented were IMO mostly understandable and worked quite well. Kudos to the creative team! And right now we can look forward to the new anime series. Good times to be a RK fan! Last edited by Engels; 2022-02-07 at 04:45. |

And you are right that I 'jumped' straight into the conclusion that it would be a reboot (and therefore also assumed there would be Jinchuu), but I don't know, I may have read something that said it would indeed be a reboot (or maybe I just had an unjustified 'hunch'). I am hoping for a reboot, but it could indeed be Hokkaido (I even forgot about Hokkaido; now I plan to read it as well). Continuation? Maybe, but it would be like making a new Dragon Ball Super anime with a new story, instead of adapting the manga and/or the newest movies. To me, it seems...unlikely. Well, let's wait and see! I remember a blogger commenting long ago that those 'new anime project' announcements are (deliberately?) ridiculously vague. Since this is news from December, it's probably going to take a while before anything substantial reaches us. Last edited by Engels; 2022-02-15 at 02:10. |

Well, it took me less time than I expected, since this is quite old (2011!), and by implication could be difficult to track down, but I found the article with the bit about usual anime news. I didn't remember THAT detail, but amazingly enough, this 'news' was about...well...Rurouni Kenshin! And what's more, it's so hilarious (to my sense of 'humor', anyway) that it urges reproduction, so here it is:
''So there’s going to be a new Rurouni Kenshin anime. In keeping with most Japanese new anime announcements, there are literally no other details than “this will exist.” Will it be a movie? OVA series? New TV show? How long will it be? Will it start from the beginning? Cover new adventures? FUCK OFF, says the Japanese News. Right now you get to know is that it will exist at some point in the future, and that is all. Thanks to Strolpol for the tip — and for providing the cinematic video from a recent RK PSP game, which shows what Kenshin looks like in modern animation. (Via Anime News Network)''. And the title is ''Rurouni Kenshin to Rurouni Again''. Actually, that's the whole article, but here's the link in any case, for those interested: https://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/04...ouni_again.php (As an aside, the blog Topless Robot was comedy gold for 'nerd'-related stuff in general). Finally, here is the link to the announcement of this new anime project (since nobody posted it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDVEAm0XUgM. Ironically-but-not-quite-so, this video proves this writer's very point! Last edited by Engels; 2022-02-15 at 03:12. |
