From what I heard the original had horrendous filler that is advised to skip

Well, thats some unexpected news. I wonder if its a remake or sequal?
Not really interested if its a remake (unless last arc will eventually be adapted)

Linden film reminds me blades of immortal adaptation

The nerve to announce this while Watsuki is still alive. That piece of shit is going to earn money from this.

I was hyped until I saw LIDENFILMS was the studio. Now I’m heartbroken because we won’t see a good, full adaptation for another 20-some years.

"Separate the art from the artist"



This saying may count when the author is already dead. Not so much when he is alive.

Dude is probably gonna use the money he get from this to buy even more ChildP0rn. If you fine with that, okay, but I'm at most going to pirate it.


As much as the work itself is clean, and quite good, the correct posture should to wait for his death.

However take in mind that there is something called law in all the civilized world that judge the behaviour or every human being, so if you do something wrong you got punished. This author was already punished and now is clean and he back to draw manga, so is up to you to support him or not, personally i do not want to mix what a person like in the real life (even questionable content) and his creations. He deserve anyway to get a payment for his work.

I saw the Netflix live action movies 1+2

Is the story of the original manga equal?

He had to pay a fine and left the courtroom saying: "Well, children just turn me on", so no, this dude is not "clean".

I have no idea how to feel about this existing, ignoring the fact that LIDENFILMS are doing it and they don't have a great track record over the past few years.

Is this a sequel? And by sequel, is this Jinchu? Or Hokkaido? Or is it a reboot or just something completely different related to Kenshin? I have no idea what direction is happening here. I love Rurouni Kenshin's manga a ton (in spite of the author's controversial and shady history) but I don't know how to feel about a new anime project for this, but I'll see how it is. It would be somewhat nostalgic at least.

The author got fined with 2,000 dollars for having more real child porn than he could consume in years, meaning as well that he is an indirect funder of child abuse. That sucks for the legal system of Japan badly enough. The additional problem is that this had zero consequences on his career, he was widely supported by editorials and colleagues and the stream of releases and reprints he got is a pretty obvious attempt to erase his wrongdoings from collective memory.

I think in this case piracy is the only ethical option, if you still want to consume his stories.

Well, because it wasn't really CP, these were nude videos where there is no sex, like the case of Galko-chan recently, they were old magazine '80 from Germany, also no sex involved, just photobooks, sorta of gravure idols albums. Yes, in some countries such content is grey area even if they are very old, not an excuse of course but just point out the correct information, rest is up to you.

That is still child porn and distributing it is a form of child abuse, because it violates and commerces with the privacy of children. If sexual acts were performed that would be rape. So yeah, to be precise.

Anyway, to each their own in the ethical concerns of this case.

it's hard bewildering that japan is such a crazy place when it comes to this kind of stuff that you have to ask whether the convincted was caught with a ''soft'' or a ''hard'' type of CP.

some soft CP are even still legal in japan like junior idol stuff i won't mention. piracy goes brrrrrrrr

I'm excited for this. Rurouni Kenshin is amongst my favorite Romance Anime. What the author did was bad, the whole CP thing. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying something I like. Even if it's just a remake, I'm excited for it. Good anime, music, anything shouldn't be discarded because the creator made bad decisions in life. It's not the creation's fault for what the creator does or does not do.

Yes, he can try to make money any way he wants, but the fact that people are still actively trying to work with him even after this became public is very alarming, to say the least.

Part of me is excited as I'm convinced that a complete remake of Kenshin at its best could find its place right beside the likes of FMAB as far as classics masterpieces go. That said, I'm not getting my hopes too high, especially considering how much of a disaster the New Kyoto Arc ended up being. I'm also going to be hard pressed to find anyone a better fit for Kenshin's voice than Richard Cansino, that I am.

The Reflection OVA was largely anime original. If it ends up following & covering the complete manga, then I would advise forgetting about that OVA completely.

No idea but seems not all countries consider beach nudes real CP in the strict sense of the terminology, appaently in Germany back then wasn't since the magazine was available till year 2000 (at least according to wikipedia). Do not know much about the rest of the books, no much data or details, probably the same content or maybe not, we have to wait and read the final sentence of the court.

I and many others believe that every person has a right to redeem themselves after they got punished for their mistakes, but more than that we understand that it has nothing to do with this great manga, which many other innocent people have also worked on, so it's okay to look forward to this upcoming anime and support it.

Anyone who disagrees is entitled to their own opinion, just make sure you don't act like a self-righteous hero about it, if you don't like that this anime is getting made just leave with dignity, don't force your values on others.

I agree with this sentiment the most. Despite Watsuki supervising and still earning money from this adaptation. There are tons of other people like animators and voice actors working hard on this project. Just because one problematic guy is on the team shouldn’t mean you discount all the others. Rurouni Kenshin means so much more than the author and is a landmark in Shonen manga and anime inspiring many others that followed it.

The original series didn't adapt the whole manga. Everything after episode 62 was filler.
