Rurôni Kenshin: Meiji kenkaku romantan

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.

My dad always said, "Oh, Kenshin, Kenshin is awesome," and stuff like that. But I never had the patience to watch the old series. But I saw that this remake was released by an unknown studio, Liden Films, and I decided to watch it. I'm not kidding when I say I almost had a breakdown when I saw how good the anime is. Great animation, one of the best openings I've ever seen (the second one almost made me have another breakdown because the music was so addictive), good script... Did I mention the animation? Anyway, everything in this anime gives me enormous joy, especially the fights, because the satisfaction of seeing Kenshin beating everyone up is priceless. I would like everyone to watch it without fear, because besides being really good, it's an extremely competent reboot and a great alternative to study Japanese history, because the plot is literally centered on Ancient Japan. Thank you guys at Liden for the masterpiece.

I can't believe I'm re living my childhood memories. Samurai X was/is my first anime and I never liked any other. I searched the internet in 2009 so that I can complete it and I have kept it since then. Even passed it down to my nephews and they so much loved it. I so much loved it that I still remember the names of all his fighting techniques. I welcome the idea of a slight but not too much changes in the old storyline. The animation is excellent and not to talk of the action is smooth. This is a must watch for me and my nephews.

Wish the could reuse the old songs but I don't care as long as it is Battossai 😂😂😂

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!

The original anime adaptation was great, it's the first adaptation of Kenshin that I fell in love with. Then, I watched the movies with Satoh Takeru were awesome. Satoh will Always be the best live action Kenshin and Battousai. I was itching and hoping for a newer version anime for Kenshin. I haven't read the manga, but I understand they strayed pretty far from the source material in the 1996 series. Im hoping with this new version, they'll stay true to Kenshin's story and have more of a balance of characters. Im on episode 11, and so far there's more chemistry between Kenshin and Kaoru, Kenshin and Sano and all together the bond between all of them as friends. The Jin-e arch was amazing in this version, gave me chills seeing him revert to Battousai. Which, I think the actor they chose for the sub version does an incredible job as Kenshin and Battousai. Overall, I think this is a worthy, and very very good remake.
