aaaa
The first trailer of the much awaited first part of the two part OVA of the upcoming Rurouni Kenshin New Kyoto Arc has just been posted on the show's official website! This is the first part of the retelling of the show's most popular story arc, the Kyoto Arc.
It will remake the Kyoto Arc which was first seen in the original anime series. The said remake will have Misao's point of view and a major large scale remake on the battle against Shishio. Rurouni Kenshin New Kyoto Arc is part of the anime series' 15th Anniversary along with the video game and the upcoming live-action movie which stars Takeru Satoh and Emi Takei.
Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi and Studio DEEN are returning after nine years to animate the new series along with musical composer Noriyuki Asakura. Mari Okada (AnoHana, Wandering Son) is writing the scripts this time.
Hiromitsu Hagiwara (Saint Beast ~Ikusen no Hiru to Yoru Hen~) is the new character designer, and Hiro Kaburaki (Kimi ni Todoke) will take over as the episode director. The cast will remain the same except for the role of Hajime SaitÅ, who will be played by Ken Narita.
Starting on December 17, the first part will have a week of advance screenings in two Japanese theaters.
