I'm praying to every deity on Earth and in space that it will be a full adaptation of the manga. I really want to see the Jinchu arc animated. I want to see how the fights will be animated in a much newer style. Hopefully no crappy filler. I wonder if they're gonna scratch the two little girls since they weren't in the manga (probably will). Curious if the ost from the original will be re used or completely revamped. I'm getting ahead of myself since we don't even know much about it. Buuut I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully it will shine a new light on such a great Shounen series.

Yes, i specially want to remove the censore specially on the backstory specially the one who fight with fist (i forgot his name) but i want hes backstory to be the original one and not that flashback

I feel like it's going to be a full remake from the beginning to the end of the manga. Lidenfilms being the studio isn't really making me excited about the project in anyway. It might even be a Blade of the Immortal type adaptation where they rush the entire adaptation since the manga is already complete. The only ray of hope would be if somehow Hiroshi Hamasaki ends up as the director, his last 3 works were at Lidenfilms.

The thing i most want on the adaptation is to remove the censored or atleast to not have alot specially on the backstorys

Here is a comment that i respond to another user about why i want that and gonna paste it becauser i am to lazt to rewrite it

since lidenfilms is helming this project they will definitely skip most of the chapters to rush to the end somehow but if they do adapt it nicely I'll be more than happy

most likely all arcs, but I expect Kyoto arc to be rushed so they can get to Jinchuu faster.
I think this is gonna be between 39-52 episodes.
and don't think it's gonnabe seasonal cause that would delay even further the adaptation of the new material.
Also the remake was announced december 21, and so far we havent got much news. I think they are on full production to make it as one year run

now, even if it's rushed, if they give jinchuu a good solid 24 episodes, I can rest in peace

It would be really amazing to see that , but it won't happen.
If Tsuioku-hen alone didn't made it , there is no way the complete story surpass it , especially if they re-adapt those chapters faithfully , the comedy will greatly turn-off those who loved the 1st adaptation.

If it really is a remake , i think it'll hit 8.50 at max.

i think it can also attract new anime viewers with today's animations, if the remake is made completely faithful and all arcs like tsuioku-hen are included, it will result in a complete work and it will satisfy the audience better. n short, if the whiole story is done in a single season and with today's animations, i think it will be very successful.

Well , we'll see.
It was not even confirmed if it was a remake anyway , it still could be an adaptation of Hokkaido-hen.

Do you guys think I can watch if I just watched a bunch of loose episodes of Samurai X back when I was a kid 20+ years ago?
Or should we rewatch it before this secuel drops to make sense of it?

trust and betrayal was 8.98/10 years ago, it just dropped the scpre massively because of biased scores people these days pulls, even tho i like the rememberance arc as much as trust and betrayal and why people gets turned off with the comedy ? Its pretty funny

As i said to you in another thread , comedy tone down the seriousness , cruelty and sadness of the past of Kenshin. (And it's the case for all works , which is why you can see peoples complain about "bad comedy" in things like FullMetal Alchemist , Kimetsu no Yaiba , Hellsing etc.)

Most of those who discovered Kenshin with Tsuioku-hen don't really like the Main Series , as it's totally different in tone. (Which is also why it's that much beloved by fans)
If now they see a Remake of it with the original comedy that the Manga had , there is no way they'll like it.

As for the score , yes , i know , it was even #1 for some times , but today it's not.
If Tsuioku-hen today doesn't make it nowadays , i really don't see how a (faithful) Remake will.

because people who start with trust and betrayal doesnt get why kenshin is smiling in the main series, his optimism as a rurouni is to differ from the hittokiri battosai he was, sure trust and betrayal focus more on the cruelty and sadness of the past of kenshin but comedy never ever changed that he did suffer from cruelty and sadness, they are just layers in him,and trust and betrayal was only a 4 episodes ova which is why to be honest since fmab with all its comedy and seriousness is still #1 of mal i cant see why not a full remake of rurouni with good pacing and animation wouldnt even surpass the ova

Oh sure , it's a problem that comes with starting a series with the Prequel anyway , too bad for them.

slenderblak said:

Of course , but it's more subtle with it.
Without comedy , it's thrown at your face so much that you just can't do anything else that live it with him.

FMAB is pretty much a mixed bag , so there is plenty reasons to love it even with forced comedy.
Do the same for something like the Chimera Ants of Hunter x Hunter , and i'm sure that it'll not be as loved as it is nowadays.
Tsuioku-hen was so gritting , i truly don't see how a Remake will meet the expectations of those who watched the OVA.

So yeah , i don't see the Remake doing more than 8.50 once it finish airing , but if does , i'll be really happy.
RuroKen is quite a forgotten series , and it's really gratifying to see such series get a revival. (Especially with new Animes fan , that didn't experienced such unorthodox protagonist in Shounen)

then i guess im pretty optimisitic myself but real the vibes rurouni kenshin gives im sure with the right adaptation its gonna come out on top and idc if its gonna get 8.50 or less after it finishes airing, the list always changes by years and mal is pretty much inconsistent in their score and i dont trust them much, with the audience these days maybe its gonna get a high score maybe not, but as far as i follow, it deserves a way higher score than most high score mangas rn

Fillers are less common nowadays, not to mention it's a complete manga. I've never heard of filler arcs added to adaptations after the completion of their manga.

I don't care whether it will be the full adaptation from the very beginning, or just Jinchuu arc. I just want it to get Bleach treatment, not Sailor Moon treatment.

It's a reboot , so you can watch it without knowing anything before it. (We still don't know if it'll be a full adaptation tho)
Note that the original Anime did a perfect job at adapting the Kyoto Arc , and it'll be hard for this reboot to do as good.

But since you watched the Live-Action , no matter what it could adapt , it could watch it anyway.

52 Episodes is far from enough.

With a faithful adaptation , Episode 52 would be around the very end of/just after the Kyoto Arc.
With the Jinchuu Arc being just a little bit shorter than Kyoto's , i would say around 85 Episodes is needed... (Just a little bit more if they slow the pacing of the Tsuioku Chapters , and include the short Epilogues)

52 episodes only work if Jinchuu get half of it, 26 episodes cuz it's never been adapted before.
the bummer would be to cram tokyo+kyoto into the other half.

unfortunately today we have to wait for worst case scenarios. 52 is almost certain what we're gonna get, with 62-64 being a better case scenario.
more than 70 episodes is whishful thinkin imo

Ruroken is not forgotten, at least not in Japan. The live-action films have done very well commercially and have been praised as some of the best live-action anime adaptations. And the Hokkaido Arc volumes have been selling at least 300K volumes each release.
