I don't see why people is disappointed, As a true Kenshin fan, I'm happy with whatever they give from Kenshin, hell, I wouldn't be disappointed if they give an OVA series based on only Kaoru!

This is the bitterest disappointment RK fans have had to swallow since the creation of Seisouhen. Studio Deen is out of touch with the RK fandom. We don't want an OVA remake of the Kyoto Arc narrated by Misao. We want the Jinchuu Arc, in its entirety!

I don't care which studio is doing this but I agree that the OVA feels like a waste of time. I don't mind a remake of the whole anime but it feels like a middle finger to RK fans--manga or anime.

Wait a second lets think about this for a moment. Why are they doing this when they know they know the fans only want the animation of the Jinchu arc? They probably don't just want to animate the Jinchu arc because most of this generation doesn't know anything about Rurouni Kenshin. So, they're are probably making this OVA to attract more fans and then create the Jinchu Arc OVA or something like that. The climax of the series is the Shishio arc so it is only natural that they would remake it with present day HD animation and then follow up and create the Jinchu arc. Maybe it's true , because people send them letters and email them all the time demanding Jinchu arc. They aren't that stupid to not listen to their fans...

If they were going for bringing in new fans either a complete remake or a side story movie like trigun did would be a better move. Not some super condensed version of the second part of the series with new art.

The original is good as it is so instead of remaking it they will condense it, (the climax or the series)...I know I would rather have a remake but the original is already good.

I don't like the whole "Misao's point of view" thing and hearing Saito with another voice will suck big time. At least Asakura Noriyuki is returning. Would have been better if they made Enishi's arc and the real ending of the manga.

Why??? Battle of Shishio from Misao's point of view??? She didn't even see the battle!!!!!! WTF!


I believe they are remaking the entire battle, as in with the Juppongatana as well, and, if I am not mistaken, Misao did fight that queer with Kaoru. Also, she was almost killed by the blind man who fought Saitou Hajime later. Remember that a big part of the arc was her looking for Shinomori Aoshi, then struggling with her feelings for him as she discovered he was not on their side. Basically this is the section of the story that introducued Makimachi, a main character. She could be the narrator. What is positive about all of this is that Rurouni Kenshin is not out of the picture yet, and, depending on the response for the OAV, there just might be more to come. Besides, I have to say, the Shishio arc was amazing; it included the strongest swordsmen in the anime. I just loved it when Kenshin lost it, screamed and thought he had killed the blonde, under-cover member of the Juppongatana with the new sakabatou (I think around episode 40).

Don't get depressed too early because you have to remember it has been over a decade since Rurouni Kenshin aired so they wouldn't just start off from the Jinchu Arc because most of this generation's viewers don't know anything about show. They only know about Naruto and Bleach etc. Yeah the original RK fans want it badly, but what about ones that know nothing?

Here are a couple reasons why instead of the Jinchu arc there is 2-part OVA. Someone else with logic mentioned the following...

#1 Re-introduce RK to the masses

#2 The fans would get a recap of the Kyoto arc, which would be from a different perspective rather than that of Kenshin and Sano's which was in the original. You get a recap of the Kyoto arc "without" having the same story told over again.

#3 It's a good way to get fan interest without investing too much money.

#4 If they made a Jinchu anime right of the bat, what if it did bad and got cancelled?

As I said before I don't think they are stupid enough to not listen to their fans who keep demanding the same thing. I believe this OVA is a test.

I'm just saying that hope is still not lost...you guys just have to wait a little longer and put faith in DEEN!....

Deen is the one constantly messing up the real thing over and over again, so putting faith in them... Dunno, not working for me.

On the other hand, the first Kenshin series had so much fillers (pirates and whatnot) and modifications (the Raijuta part was over-dramatized...) that starting a new anime from the beginning wouldn't hurt, even if the Kyoto arc itself was well made. They could do the whole series in about 60 episodes.
I was really hoping for a new "FMA:BH"-thing, where they just re-do the whole story, but I have less and less hope left...

Btw, they should just get the staff of Busou renkin (they did quite a good job on that Watsuki work), keep the first series' music composer; plus add Kurosaki Kaoru (a pro novelist / screenplay writer + Watsuki's wife / co-writer of his recent works => expert and knows Watsuki's world better than any other screenplay writer) to the staff and then all would be good. Okay, this is just a dream, I know :D

Ironically, I despise live-action adaptations (okay, with a FEW exceptions), but in this case, I'm more interested in that than in this anime.

At first I thought ... oh no, guess they're trying to milk old classics with this one.

However ... as many of you have mentioned, there is still one arc to be published as an anime, Jinchu arc and as it takes place just after the Kyoto arc with Shishio it is only natural to introduce new viewers to this as an introduction and if that is really the case, I am happy.

The Kyoto arc blew my mind, so awesome was it, I even didn't care that the following filler arcs weren't just as good.

Tsuiokuhen is in my opinion the greatest thing to ever have seen the face of earth (in terms on anime) and the Jinchu arc is based around it, so I still believe ....

Did you realize that there you just made a couple of a couple of reasons XD!?

On other notes, I will be laughing like crazy if they fail to attract new fans with this shit. Deen has always been awful, and their take on anime is directed for female viewers in my opinion. Not that it is a bad thing, just their attempts to make shonen shows always fall hard. why dont they tag their shows as shoujo already I have no freakin' clue.

I am a huge Kenshin fan, but in all honesty Kenshin would never beat Gintoki in epicness. Spare me of one of my silly fantasies where Kenshin fights Gintoki, but I can already see who is in the receiver's end :D

The only thing we can pray for is that this new animation will bring about a lot of new fans and then they'll animate Jinchuu.

I mean I'll watch this, but I really don't see the point. i don't even like the new anime style it's too pretty. if that makes sense
