WTF Usui. Shocked Sad I don't like that change.

And the ending song is not of any rk game, is the instrumental theme of the first chapters of the series, but whit voice.


If you finished the RK RPG game with female character they played that song as the ED theme. It's called 七色の風 (Nanairo no Kaze). The new mix of this song is sung by Sumioka Rina while the original from the game (which can be found on the Complete Box set) is sung by Kawai Eri who sadly passed away back in August 4, 2008 at age 43 after being hospitalized as the result of liver cancer.

It's fairly unfortunate that if this were to receive a simultaneous North America/Japan release that it might not be dubbed. Because I do know that a good portion of the orginal Media Blasters cast are still around even now doing Viz or Bandai work, but ah well.


I would hope whoever gets that license will listen to the fans and try their best to get the original voice actors back. If they hire the Sony/ADV dub crew, you won't see me purchasing this disc.

Animation is really well done. Characters seem to be a blend between TV and OAV style. One of the changes you'll notice is that no one announces their techniques, although it's quite obvious what they're using.


Is it me or does Kazuhiro Furuhashi seem to be ashamed that his directing a shonen jump manga. The attacks in Kenshin are over the top, the characters are larger than life, this isn't Lone Wolf and Cub, if you want to make an uber serious show about Samurai doing battle, than go make it, but don't attach the characters of Kenshin to it.

The way the attacks are shown adds to the flavor of the series, when a major attack hits you should pause the action, as the attack name hit's the screen as the character yells the attack name.
