Rurouni Kenshin | U.S. PREMIERE AT ANIME EXPO 2023

A classic, universal, and unfading tale…
Rurouni Kenshin is headed to Anime Expo 2023 for the U.S. premiere featuring special guests Soma Saito, Rie Takahashi, and Producer Masami Niwa!

About Rurouni Kenshin:
With over 72 million copies of the comic series sold and a total box office revenue of 19.3 billion yen from the live-action movie series, the legendary masterpiece loved by all generations worldwide, Rurouni Kenshin comes back to life as a brand-new TV anime in 2023.

The original work was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1994, and in 1996 it was made into a TV anime for the first time. Since then, it has undergone numerous developments, from OVAs to theatrical releases, and now with Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc serializing in Jump SQ.

This long-awaited work aims to reconstruct the original story from the first episode using the latest animation technology, to create a Rurouni Kenshin anime that will appeal to current anime fans.

For the animation production, talented staff such as director Hideyo Yamamoto (Strike the Blood) and Hideyuki Kurata (Made in Abyss) for series composition were gathered. The cast members will be renewed, with Soma Saito in the role of Kenshin Himura.

Most people my age started with DBZ. But I started with this one! This is one of the greatest and underrated anime’s of all time!

[vampyretime]

I loved Kenshin as a kid but the original soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ever.

[GooneyJib]

time for Rurouni Kenshin to shine once more!!!

[Lunaria.Praesentia]

I'm going to miss Noriyuki Asakura's iconic music, it used to fit with Rurouni Kenshin extremely well, his soundtrack was beyond immersive and felt like an important character on its own

[animeman]

Loved this anime as a kid and looking forward to seeing a complete adaption.

[shevonmw]

I’m tearing up 🥹 but this ain’t no tears of sadness it’s tears of joy. I was born 95 these were the anime I grow up to. Just waiting to see yuyu hakusho gets the same treatment 🙏

[TheBlackOtaku]

One my all time favorite Shonen’s is finally getting a remake, hopefully they will do the final arc of the manga into anime.

[dicasacrixus]

Timeless classic ❤️ My neverending love for this anime, I'm 41 now but I still remember when I've watched this in my younger years(teenager) I still love the character of Kenshin Himura❤️

[lemustache_]

they need to give this one epic list of OP/ED songs, the original Rurouni Kenshin has a great list of songs that I still play today

[vlogpendek]

My unending love towards this series know no boundaries .. you could remake this to infinity but i still gonna watch it 🥺 kenshin has always been a part of my life i love him so much .. miss kaoru at the end makes it even better you guys i miss u guys alot

[mwineafrod]

I gat goosebumps all over ... can't wait to re-live the meji & kyoto eras. So sweet! Welcome back Kenshin!

[peacemyheart]

One of my favorite anime series of all time. I just hope this reboot will live up to expectations and not be worse than the original.

[nospradamus]

I hope they manage to create such a wonderful soundtrack as the the previous version. Rurouni Kenshin OST remains, in my opinion, the best anime OST ever.

[cyrilbalandracasterchoi]

I started to imitate kenshins hand on holding anything longer objects . And how he sprung to do the “Nine Headed Dragon Slash” technique, specially When my mom ask me to buy something in the market when I was young... kids of 90’s...💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[TrueBuddhaCat]

Another legendary swordsman has returned

Battosai the manslayer is back!!!

[statesminds]

One of my favorite series of all time! Sucks about the mangaka but I can’t help but love Kenshin and company.

[JustaGutlessMan]

Finally! We can all see the Legendary Samurai back in action once again. 2023 let's go!

[kouix]

One of my favorite anime. I cried with rurouni kenshin tsuioku hen...

[Animebryan]

Finally, I've been waiting for this series to get the "brotherhood" treatment it so long deserves. Been waiting for the past 15 years since I finished watching the anime & having to read the Jinchu Arc to see what we missed out on (and that disgraceful excuse of a cheap adaptation known as Samurai X: Reflection).

Can't wait to see this get an english dub & released to Blu-Ray!

[michaelrooney]

So stoked Rurouni Kenshin is returning again. Always wanted to show my wife this anime but she struggled with how old it looks. Now I can finally show her the awesomeness that is Rurouni Kenshin
