Based on the 1st season of the hit anime/Manga "Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X in Europe )" . The show is about the historical figure " battousai the manslayer " who leaded the revolt in the tokugawa era . After the war ended he disappeared and became a wonderer who vows to never kill. The movie itself is great, it had a very detailed story especially for those of you who never watched the anime, the fights are amazing, and they did the characters pretty good. The only problem is that they couldn't add Aoshi shinomori and the Oniwaban group into the movie which are very important character's in through main story line especially in the Makoto Shishio arc. It is rumored that there might be a sequal to the movie and I honestly hope it's about Season two, or about Kenshin's past.
Well, this looks interesting. Definitely don't get the impression of "Gonna ruin the anime like Dragonball Evolution." Can't wait ^.^
I wouldn't mind seeing this film. If it had subtitles or an english language choice I'd feel better, but it still looks like it stays faithful to the manga/anime from what I saw
