A more complete trailer has already been released, which the truth is that it looks quite good, and the release date has been refined a little more for July 2023with which we are going to the grill of summer premieres.
Now, no matter how well the anime paints and how well the Liden Films team does it, There is no escaping the huge controversy surrounding ‘Rurouni Kenshin’ right now.
In 2017 the creator of the manga Nobuhiro Watsuki was charged with possession of child pornography and the authorities found a lot of material in his offices, but the mangaka practically got away with a fine equivalent to about 2000 dollars.
In addition to Watsuki being found guilty, his fame and his work have not gone bad and he continues to work on a ‘Rurouni Kenshin’ arc as if nothing had happened. In addition, several tributes to his career have been held over the years and now he is also going to receive a new anime that will undoubtedly generate more publicity and income for the mangaka. So as good as the new anime looks… there is also a bittersweet flavor around it and wonder if it was the best time for the revival of ‘Rurouni Kenshin’.
