Well that looks horrible, and why do they keep calling him an assassin (the story is he was a ronin (masterless samurai) fighting in the Meiji Revolution).

Apparently you've never heard of the concept of doing an interpretation.
(See: The Dark Knight trilogy)

As long as the story remains engaging, and the characters interesting who cares if it doesn't adhere to the exact story line?

Disappointing only because I thought it'd be based on the original series, not the show that came after.
I never got into the show for various reasons. The movie looks fun though, worth a watch.

I really don't see what you mean, every plot line I saw in there was present in the original manga.

From what I can gather it looks like they're doing the Jin-e and Oniwabanshu arcs, but then there's also Saito in there and someone who might even be Enishi, who is the villain in the final arc of the series... No sign of anyone from the Shishio arc though which gives me hope that they won't just compress the whole thing into one film.

Either way I'm going to watch the hell out of this as soon as I can get my hands on it.

I'm referring to Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, I just didn't dig the actual show where he's got the pink shirt and what not.

All of my yes. Please take it. As someone who watched the show as a kid, this is literally the greatest thing.

Oh right I forgot about that weirdness with the two shows. I much prefer the original comic as there's none of the filler and you get a lot more background in the notes the author makes.

Hell yes, as soon as this is out I'm watching it. Fantastic to finally see a subbed trailer. Absolutely love Rurouni Kenshin, glad they seem to be following the story. :)

I wish i could thank whoever decided to not go with slasher as his title that annoyed the crap out of me but this looks really good

Somehow I had hoped this would be a new animated movie... *sigh*

Doesn't look too bad, but I doubt I'll be picking it up anytime soon.

i was hoping it was too one that wasn't as bad as the movie that followed the animated series. there are a few times i don't mind that kind of ending but this one I'll always be against

I quite liked the origins movie, myself. It's played totally straight without any of the yucks of the show, and is a nice little romantic drama.

Can't remember the title though.
