Kill yourself nigger

not an absolute masterpiece because tomoe's ex-husband's death and how that's related to kenshin is spoiled in the first 10min

like 90 min into the movie they act as though this was supposed to be shocking to the audience when you knew it all along

also on the scene where tomoe dies the tone is extremely confused

The whole sodding film is confused, mate.

I preferred manga Kenshin trying to find Tomoe with aggression rather than the empty void Kenshin in the OVA. You'd think she wrote that she left him for another guy or something from that reaction.

Also why are the news OVAs utter shit?

It's called directing, a thing that usually doesn't happen in anime.

The (prequel) OVAs were truly good.

The biggest surprise of all is that the OVAs were done by studio DEEN.

You realize it was in the manga right? Even without the anime's directing that part is a masterpiece.

Will we ever see the last arc of the manga animated? And I don't mean that shitty Reflection OVA.

Happens out of respect for the series. You don't receive a prequel of this level without creating something great to begin with.

Not likely. Ruroken already had its short lived revival a few years ago and got tossed right back into the dumpster.

basically they treated a shounen manga flackback arc as a samurai movie

which is exactly how it's suppose to be treated.. Though part of me was disappointed for the lack of bloodshed (this was back in the battousai days I expected him slaying niggas left and right).
