Title basically says it all, im currently watching the remake for rurouni kenshin and im really enjoying it, i heard that trust and betrayal goes more into kenshins past and was just wondering if i could watch it after the remake or if i needed to watch the original 90s anime, also i apologize if this isnt where im supposed to ask this

Hear me out, I know the revenge part is overused alot in anime...but this version of revenge is definitely my favorite. Slowly tormenting Kenshin and seeing his struggle was really interesting to see, and made his return so satisfying and wholesome.

What if Kenshin told Aoshi that he's actually not the strongest, but it's Hiko Seijuro XIII (well, that's not a lie lol). Will Aoshi go and hunt him down? That'll be some goofy ass arc where Hiko wipes the floor with Aoshi lmao

This song uses Amakakeru as part of it's lyrics.

"Tada Hitotsu" is what Hiko describes as "Just One" move that can beat Kuzuryuusen

It was expensive, but i feel like it was worth it. Media Blasters dub, full series, $100 on dvd. Will update with pics when it's delivered. I'm so stoked!

I checked today and all I could see was season 1 of the new remake? Removed?

I miss the one about the teacher who also fought during the Bakumatsu.

I also have volumes 12 and 18-28 on the way

I recently found one of my old sketchpads from 1999, and this I spotted this drawing. I never finished it, but I thought I'd share. I don't draw anymore.

Thoughts on this. I've said in the past that Kenshin feels like a character out of William Somerset Maugham. A lost hero trying to find himself in a chaotic world. I'm also somehow reminded of him anytime I watch a western.

I was watching it and made it to about episode 10 before feeling like there was no point in watching the anime.

When I watch anime I like to see progress to an end goal. What drives them to do what they do? Examples of this would be, the one piece, in OP, becoming the wizard king in black clover, finding his father in HunterXHunter, etc. I feel that things like give the story meaning and purpose. Which in turn also makes the anime more interesting because you get to watch their journey on how they got there.

Problem with rorounikenshin, Is that I feel like this is all missing. Like there is not end greater purpose, and kenshin is already hella strong so it’s not like we are watching the MC become the strongest from being weak. It just feels like I’m watching some random guy go on random adventures. It’s not even like the time period they live in is tense, it’s peace times…

The anime itself, is cool, but it’s the lack of that purpose that made me lose interest. I don’t think it’s a bad show, so I keep it on my watch list as a back up anime should I find myself having nothing to watch.

With all this being said, I wonder sometimes if I quit too early, which is why I’m hear to ask based on my gripes with the show, does it get better?

I even vividly remember as a kid being like. Shit this is some kind of heavy stuff this ain’t no Rugrats.

I've already asked about manga, books, and movies that influenced RK. What characters that he liked growing up influenced Watsuki's conception of Kenshin? No jokes please.
