I've been a big fan of Rurouni Kenshin for ten years now. It was one of the first anime's that I fell in love with and became a fangirl over; so it was a huge leap of faith for me to watch the live action version of the anime that I hold so dear to my heart. Story: - Simply put - Amazing. I was so impressed and oddly proud of how closely they followed the original plot and storyline from the anime. Yes there were a few changes due to timing and making sense of Kenshin's backstory but it was so satisfying seeing everything come together. Some scenes in this movie are mirrored perfectly from the anime and that makes me so happy that they were able to make my favorite anime come to life. Acting/Cast:: -BRILLIANT! When I saw Takeru Sotah as Kenshin I immediately fell in love. The acting is excellent and again they paid close attention to all the small details that I was looking for. I highly recommend this movie if you enjoyed the anime. I highly recommend this movie if you enjoy epic sword fights.... Just watch the damn movie!!!!
