After that awesome trailer that emerged for Rurouni Kenshin, buzz for the anime adaption really picked up and I promised you guys I would start following the production of the movie a little more closely. Here are some new stills that do nothing to dissuade the notion created from that initial trailer that Rurouni Kenshin will stop nothing short of epic.







That's Battousai the Manslayer vs. Jinei Udo for those of you unfamiliar with the anime/manga.

kenshin vs jinei awesome!
@grif you truly must be so pleasant to be around in real life.

Siiiick. Finally, a REAL adaptation.

Grif you miserable shut in,take a walk and get out of your mums basement for a change.It may help you enjoy life a little more and stop you being labelled an annoying wanker! :)

Looks pretty damn good, sad that I've forgotten a lot about this...I used to love this series so much.

Talking about this, anyone remembers the name of the guy in white, who wields the big sword (as far as I remember)? The one with the spike hair? Is he in this?
Hellsing - 1/7/2012, 7:58 AM
@Jolt yes he is in this, there's a quick glimpse of him in the trailer.

And this is how you adapt a manga/anime, so far everything looks good. If hollywoods so hell bent on adapting Manga/anime they should start with the ones that are more easy to adapt

annoying wanker??? translation: annoying masturbater??? that's what grif is labelled as?? eeewwww i don't wanna know.

the teaser trailer looks good so far... but i bet it's gonna be hard to jam in a TON of stuff from the anime into the movie. Worth waiting for though. :D

Looks good! Must be making it over seas... Thank goodness!
Jolt17 - 1/7/2012, 8:31 AM
Xenix: Yes! :) I remember how he was my favorite character back there...sadly I can't even recall his name by now! I need to dig back into the series.

Hellsing: Should've missed that glimpse, then!

KFirefly - 1/7/2012, 9:31 AM
Yay,I'm excited; I will have no problems if this film is longer than 2hrs.
OtakuPapi - 1/7/2012, 10:49 AM
A large majority of anime is made for movie adaption i hope this movie is a epic win it looks to be pretty darn spectacular i cant wait
MovieTheaterLad - 1/7/2012, 12:24 PM
They should've had Taylor Kitsch play Jinei.
spideyboy - 1/7/2012, 1:42 PM
Japan: you're doing it right!!! I miss this show, I remember watching it on toonami with DBZ, Gundam, Tenchi Muyo and all those other good anime... Hopefully they make a Yu Yu Hakusho movie too!
johan02 - 1/7/2012, 2:39 PM
@LOL in the uk being called a wanker is kinda the same as calling someone a dumbass.

I can not wait for this movie, any idea what the plot is?
SageMode - 1/7/2012, 2:43 PM
The anime/manga of this was badass. They better not [frick] this movie up.
Gunslinger - 1/7/2012, 3:04 PM
That looks so good! Looks really faithful to the anime, even Sanosuke! Can't wait, I was a really big fan of the anime when I was a kid, one of the best ever. Used to like Dragonball Z but Samurai X had history, drama, real character development and amazing fights. It's at the top with Cowboy Bebop for me. Got me into reading Musashi and appreciating japanese history. Hope it blows me away.

But WB isn't actually making this, are they? They're not in creative control... they just have distribution rights.
Ranger14 - 1/8/2012, 11:55 AM
Ahh...C'mon! Americanize it! Take away his swords and give him guns! Put Justin Bieber in the lead. That'll sell tickets! :-P
