yaay

What, what, WHAT!?
If it covers all the manga, I'll kill myself.

YAY More RK! I just hope it isn't all filler again.

WTF!??????

*fangirl screams right now ^^

Best NEWS EVER!!!

HOLY SHIT

havent heard his name for a while !

Aww great news <3
Hopefully, it'll cover everything xD

Yay~

WHAT?!?!

Hoorah!

Awesome.

omg, this could be awesome!

Wow!! (O.o) nice! looking forward to this! :)

If this animates the rest of the manga, I'll cry.

Unexpected good news.

wOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! XD

I am one happy S.O.B.!

Wow this is awesome news. Now I must hurry and finish the original anime.

Just yesterday i was wondering if they would ever rebbot the series or at least release the previous in higher quality, and now seems like both are happening!

Oh my gah...

Well, this is a surprise, lol.

Wow I wasn't expecting this!! This is great! Now we just need it to not be crap...

Shit! If that's the case, I need to finish the first series...QUICK! /panics.

I'll watch it,definitely.

2011 strikes again.

This could completely redeem RurouKen if they stay faithfull to the manga. In that case, this new anime will become an instant classic.

I'd love to see a remake that covers the entire Manga without filler-episodes. (like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) That would be awesome. <3

fack ye!!! lol

YAY, Awesome news!! Can't wait! ^^

This is one of my biggest wishes coming true. I've been saying RK needs a reboot for ages. I'm sure they will stay true to the manga since it's been finished since forever now... I'm so happy I could dance.

It's gonna be weird listening to a new soundtrack though, the other one is so powerful and true to the characters feelings... also, do you think they'll stick with Mayo-san? Hope so.

....I just died in the best way possible. I've seen the original series four times completely. I just love it that much.

This time around, if they animate the revenge arc for me, they can have my soul.

It's too bad that Saito's original voice actor passed away back in 2006 though, may he rest in peace. He was a total badass. Hopefully the new VA for Saito can live up to Suzuoka Hirotaka's legacy.

Though I doubt anyone will be able to call out "Gatotsu" the way the original did.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR, ALONGSIDE BERSERK AND FATE/ZERO.


It better damn well be the rest of manga being animated....JINCHUU ARC HERE I COME. I WAITED FOR YOU ALL THESE YEARS.






Now all I need to be happy is for actual anime adaptations of Vinland Saga, Tsukihime, Persona3, Shingeki no Kyojin, Pluto and 7Seeds and I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST MAN WITH NO LIFE ALIVE.

Wow, the legendary Kenshin returns!

I do hope they animate the rest of the manga.. I heard it was good.

Yes, Saito's voice was quite iconic... but there are plenty of voice actors out there with deep, badass voices, I'm sure they'll cast the best one (although yes, sadly, it won't be the same thing... 'Aku Zoku Zan' won't sound the same ever again :P). I hope they keep the rest of the cast, though, including Mayo-san. I know loads of people hated the fact that Kenshin was voiced by a woman, but she really did an amazing job, in my opinion.

When do you think this will start airing? 2012? Or can I hope for a Winter 2011 start? :P

this.

O_O

*fangirlscream* <ooh wait, i'm a dude..>, *fanboy smile and waves with his hair*

.. nice ;)



KYAHOOOO! xD

YEEEEEEEEEEES

Whyyyyy do they keep making new anime for the ones I really, really, really want to watch but haven't yet?

Puny 2007 can't compare to glorious 2011.

My internet just exploded.

AWESOME news !!!

Same, and as people have mentioned, I hope it covers the entire manga.

i DONT CARE IF ITS A RIPOFF OR WHATEVER!!!! ITS RUROUNI KENSHIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! im in love again!!!!!

OMG. are you shitting me? I thought this day would never come. Wow a revaped rurouni Kenshin series. I hope it has the same animation quality as samurai X, that would be wicked cool.

Anyways, didn't the original series finish the manga? I always though it did. I knew the third season was all fillers, but the Kyoto arc was the last arc in the manga right, excluding the samurai X reflections of course. I believe that one was in the manga as well. So what was actually missing. I am curious cause i'll have to go read it again.

What??? I miss Rurouni Kenshin! I'll be looking forward to this!

Why would you want 11-year-old animation quality?

Anyway, it's just going to be an OVA... Nothing to get too excited about ^_-

Interesting.

Oh my god... yessssssssssssssssssssssssss

Good news. I wonder what studio produce this, it's important. Now I need Vinland Saga, Vagabond, Psyren, and continue Gantz, HSDK, Soul Eater. And i will be in heaven or sign pact with Devil.
