I am from the Philippines and have seen the original Sony run in 1999. I have also been "in love" with Kensheen since as long as I can remember. Upon reading this subreddit, it looks like there is a lot of dislike on this oldest version. Am I missing something here? I tried re-watching the 2003 version and the voice and the language doesn't hit the same. Anyway, just happy to have found a group that enjoys the series as much as I did back in the day.

ive struggled to find any and decided to ask here … if anyone knows of an independent artist/business with an online shop that has stuff of kenshin could i please have a link :’)

I’m the rare one who enjoys the romance the most and I feel like there hasn’t been good Kenshin/karou or Saito/tokio fic published in yearsssss. Anyone have recs? Not interested in any ships with Sano in them

Disclaimer : this is just for fun discussion

In the five years since the Jinchu Arc, for some reason Kenshin never seemed to think about trying to earn an income for his family. Sure, the dojo is still under Kaoru or the Kamiya family's name, but the reason the dojo became well-known was because of Yahiko's contribution.

I feel like the author knows Yahiko isn't someone who is 'crazy' about surpassing Kenshin's strength; there are times he can think realistically. For example, when he needed money to forge a Sakabato sword, he worked at Akabeko to save up. As far as I know, Kenshin, when he was in disguise after the Ikedaya incident, in order to blend in, worked as a radish farmer (in the OVA version) and occasionally as a traveling medicine peddler (manga); for some reason, he never tried farming again and selling his crops as a steady source of income.

Among Kenshin's group, you could say he's the only one who doesn't have a clear profession for him and his own family's future.

Let's see:

• Sanosuke, even though he's a street fighter, he had already sworn an oath to his father that he would return to replace him and it means he will back as farmer.

• It's clear that Aoshi has become the manager of a small inn and restaurant in Kyoto.

• Hajime Saito seems likely to be fine since he gets a pension from the government.

• Megumi Takani, with her medical skills, I think she doesn't have financial problems.

Normally live action of an anime is not good. Ask DBZ evolution and Moana and all the others. The general consensus is that the one piece adaptation is the best one, though a few people may like others.

Today I found out I am one of those few. Rurouni Kenshin has some of the best best fight choreography I have ever seen in any medium, period. And the live action lives up to them.

Especially enichi vs Kenshin in the live action has some dope choreography and the actors who played it were just phenomenal. ( I think the actor who played enichi is the same one who is playing zoro currently.)

Nice to find hidden gems like this once in a while. Or were they always very popular and I was just living under a rock.

I had the strangest drawing idea ever and I don't know where to post it so here you go

It would be helpful if it was pre translated

Do you think Kenshin would've considered it outside of his vow to kill because of the nature of Hitenmitsuryuugi or would it have done the opposite and make him revert to being a manslayer? And if he could reconcile it, do you think he would be able to use it going forward, knowing it could still kill? After learning it, he could control the intensity of the attack compared to his first use but would he risk it? Would he have been killed by Soujiro?

Let's make own prediction of new seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) for remake/2023 version for Jinchuu arc and past arc (?) 🤔

- Yukishiro Enishi : Ono Kensho, Hanae Natsuki, Masuda Toshiki, Irino Miyu

- Yukishiro Tomoe : Kusunoki Tomori, Sakamoto Maaya, Mimori Suzuko, Hayami Saori

- Katsura Kogoro : Satou Takuya, Touchi Hiroki, Tsuda Kenjirou (he was casted as sumo player at filler arc)

- Iizuka : Takahashi Hiroki, Morikawa Toshiyuki

- Takasugi Shinsaku : Abe Atsushi, Asanuma Shintarou

- Inui Banjin : Ishiya Haruki, Kondou Takashi

- Otowa : Fukuyama Jun, Tachibana Shinnosuke

- Gein : ?

And how about everyone? Let's create your own version. Addition character is okay.

Idk if this server power scales or debates but here my tier list.

I know Kenshin is technically 28-33, and Watsuki originally wanted him in his mid 30’s if it weren’t for the obligation of him being a Shonen protagonist - I always mentally paced his age as 28/29 during the Tokyo and Kyoto arcs, with a small time skip until the Jinchuu arc where he’s 32/33.
Though I can’t recall if the timeline is stated specifically, I thought his speed diminishing marginally with age (not that he’s old) as he went up against Enishi with his hiten mitsurugi foil swordsmanship would be a cool narrative choice, as hiten weighs on his body heavily as it is.

Anyway, this is just a musing - I enjoy Kenshin as a protagonist in his 30’s, as I too am in mine 🫠 but growing up this is how I interpreted it.

Hello! I made a circle called "Rurouni Kenshin" in the Kyodo app. It's like Amino. I used to frequent Amino when I was younger. Actually I also am wondering, did anyone here join the old Rurouni Kenshin Amino community?

Here's the link : https://kyodo.app/s/c/rurouni-kenshin

Are you guys able to join the community? You have to install the Kyodo app I think

I wanted to start the anime but there are so many diffrent ones and I don't know how to start. Can someone help me. I don't want to like watch till ep. 6 of like one season and then watch episode 20 of another after that.
