Kyoto Kai!!!
Though they have to do better than that promo art....... That's worse than the TV series, and these are supposed to be movies.......

.......DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! with deen doing this is expect them to pull what they did with nura and rush it even if it is movies and the fact their stupid enough to NOT make it a tv series and remake it is just a terrible move. |

I told GWOtaku this over twitter, but this really makes me wonder if a bunch of Japanese execs saw the success of Evangelion, and FMA Brotherhood and just thought that people really must like new animation failing to notice that those projects are mostly new stories (Evangelion is completely different by the second movie, and FMA Brotherhood changes direction completely at episode 14)

FMA:BH didn't change direction. it's almost 100% follow the manga. |

...that's IT? Seriously, just two movies told from Misao's perspective? Well, that's a serious disappointment. Even if these were two hours long that would still barely be over a third of how long the tv series' Kyoto arc was. I just hope these might do well enough for the Jinchu arc to be animated.

This is dumb. Every Kenshin fan out there wants to see Jinchuu Arc animated. But a re-telling of the Kyoto Arc from Misao's Point Of View? Seriously? She wasn't even present for the major battles (Sano vs Anji, Saito vs Usui, and Kenshin's battles against Aoshi, Soujiro and Shishio himself.)

My guess is that the two movies will be used to set up the Jinchuu arc since it's been years since the series ended. I swear, if this doesn't end with the Jinchuu arc, I'm officially giving up.

Well, I guess that's one way to pare down the series--if you only tell it from Misao's POV, since she wasn't there for the entire Shishio's base sequence. This sounds even less promising now.

I, too, can't help but feel a bit disappointed. The first time ANN posted "New Kenshin anime green-lit," I felt so excited - that they might finally do the Revenge Arc, or maybe a full-series reboot like FMA: Brotherhood (if a series that new can get a reboot, I figure it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility for RK). But some two-parter remake of the Kyoto Arc...and with extra focus on Misao, of all people?
I do appreciate them gathering the old VA cast and people like the original director and composer, but if they're going to go to the trouble of doing that, why not just do the final story arc? It's already a proven property, and that's lower-risk than an original venture, and the current market really favors low-risk, right? I'll still see it, sure, but I'm not sure what to think at this point. |

Honestly, while I would have loved a Brotherhood version of RuroKen, this news isn't THAT bad, since Misao goes through the most in Kyoto arc, and instead of ending with a guy that spontaneously combusts, you get a big scale battle with Kenshin-gumi vs Juppongatana, and you will get an awesome Hiko battle. This news isn't so terrible, and if this does well, we might get either a true Jinchu arc or a Brotherhood-esque series.

^ I sure hope you're right....
It's not that I don't like Misao but still she was barely in the battle with Shishio so how can it be truly in her view? |
