I think that was the one. It was where you see Kenshin become a rather emotionless samurai, but then he finds love with the widow of a man that he's killed. And that shit always leads to more drama.Tony2077 said:

Yeah, I don't know about the rest of you, but I just recovered from the biggest nerdgasm I've had in a long time. The Kenshin series has always been my favorite anime/manga and at least from what I saw it looks like they intend to do the series justice with this movie.
I hope it does well, as someone else mentioned there's no one from the Kyoto story, so maybe if this movie does well enough they'll make another one for that arc.
Kenshin vs Aioshi in Shishio's hideout is one of my favorite fights in all of anime...mostly it's because it's the first time Kenshin gets to use the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki.
A close second is Kenshin vs Soujiro...I love how Kenshin's tactic of always trying to pacify his opponent with words rather than conflict ends up utterly destroying Soujiro's mind as the kid realizes that he has been living a lie since the night he was forced to kill his foster family. Heh, I love it, Soujiro starts screaming and flipping out and everyone else in the room is just staring at him like "What.....the fuck....?"

His job during the revolution was assassination. The leaders of that particular faction decided that his sword style was better used to kill off rival leaders. One day, he gave up the wetwork and aided in the frontlines.newwiseman said:
He became a wandering swordsman afterwards.
So, yeah Assassin is correct.
Way too much ground covered in that trailer for a single movie, but the production values are too good for a television series. I have no idea what they're planning here unless they are actually going to a series of movies based on the various story arcs.
"I never asked for this", would be appropriate.
This did not need telling, we've already had the excellent manga, we've already had the anime which was very good for the first fifty odd episodes. Why do we need a film that is going to try and squeeze at least three story arcs into a single film? That's going to feel awfully rushed if that's the case.
Furthermore, why live action? Kenshin doesn't work in live action. He needs a woman's voice, especially since in-story he gets mistaken for one a few times. "Oro" just doesn't have the same kick to it when a dude does it.
I'll try my darnedest best not to judge it before I see it, but I can't see much good coming out of this.

I know what you mean. I'm fairly certain that that the only thing that falls under "asked for, but unfulfilled" at this time is an animated Jinchu Arc, but no one seems to be interested in making that.Pedro The Hutt said:
Looks pretty damned good actually.
I haven't seen much of the TV series, but the OVA movies made me cry... I might look into this.

I hope this will be good as I will be watching it but I'll try to keep the optimism down to cautious. Though considering some of the crap I've seen I'm expecting it to do better than a lot of things (live action dbz anyone?) and so far the action scenes seem excellent.
Haha Cheers, I love the Game, kills me that my copy doesn't work properly any more. Wish they'd re-release it.Mordekaien said:I just wanted to say... your have a kickass avatar! That game was awesomeF said: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.
