So long a wait…Oh well. Fall and winter need good anime too.

I assumed it would start in the summer like with season 1, guess not.

Maybe Liden is busy making another anime?

Still, I wonder how they'll handle Misao since season 1 toned down the comedy a lot in general when compared to the manga or the 90s version. I mean, Misao was specifically created to contrast Kenshin's seriousness since this story arc is quite darker than previous ones.

I finished the series on May 14th, out of all dates.

I haven't posted here in the thread for a very long time. So, I will be as brief as possible.

I enjoyed this first season very much and thought it was an earnest attempt at accurately adapting the manga. The first series, although a classic, is really inferior to the original work, IMO. It's really nice to see Watsuki's magnum opus being given finally the proper treatment, although we waited too much, and still will have to wait. I guess we will really enjoy the ride in the Kyoto arc, and then perhaps, finally the Jinchuu arc!

Of course, it's not perfect, but perhaps it is as close as we can get to it. Rurouni Kenshin is the only manga I read from start to finish to this date, but I finished it years ago, and I don't remember everything.

Speaking of which, those two episodes with "Doctor Elder" were filler, weren't they?

The Dr Elder episodes adapt the prologue of the Rurouni Kenshin Restoration manga, which Watsuki serialised in 2012 as a tie-in to the first live-action movie adaptation which released that year. It was something of a alternate spinoff to the original manga story's Kanryu arc.
