Now if you are not familiar with Rurouni Kenshin and its recent anime comeback, well – the series is easy to find. Crunchyroll locked in a deal with Aniplex to stream the anime in North America, after all. The anime revival began in July 2023 as director Hideyo Noitamina was asked to give their take on Rurouni Kenshin.
This adaptation marks the second TV series to adapt Nobuhiro Watsuki’s historical adventure, of course. Rurouni Kenshin was first adapted in 1996 by Studio Gallop and Studio Deen to great success. You can binge this original run on Hulu as well as Amazon Prime Video. So for more info on Rurouni Kenshin, you can read its official synopsis below:
“The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman’s honor and still live in the new era.”
