[Rurouni Kenshin] I was thinking about the original anime.

No… I was thinking about Raijuta Ishidō.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, it’s mostly anime original.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

It is different from the original.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rengoku-san won’t sink easily.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t run away!

Don’t run away from the fact that the afterlife is being made a joke of!!

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m glad you made it into a nice skit, but the explosive shell will go to the engine room and fire away!

As expected, I didn’t think things through enough…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

It’s different from the original…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

I was thinking that it’s kind of odd how I’m talking so much… and then I realized it’s okay to do this kind of thing…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

The web version’s next episode preview is a gag every time.

I slip up every time, but this time I did it.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

The previews are really doing their own thing, so it’s fun to watch!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Perhaps Rengoku’s Raijuta might come rushing in.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought “hitting with a bouquet” was a strange metaphor, but it was just that.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is it Wazuki’s idea?

It’s too bold for an original anime adaptation.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s a shame that the incredibly cool sinking scene from the original is gone…

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In the live-action interview, it’s said that Watsuki came up with the idea to include a lot of Rengoku, so he probably had quite a bit of lingering attachment.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>11

Considering the circumstances that I had planned to have them be more active, but it was impossible to do weekly because the drawing workload was too high, I gave up.

I understand the feeling of wanting to make it look more appealing if you can.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

It gives off the feeling that the current Kazuki-sensei might hit someone with a bouquet while yelling incomprehensible things.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

During the first phase of Watsuki, they said they couldn’t change much because there had been long-time enthusiastic fans of the original work…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hitting someone with a bouquet is a different vibe from the gags in Rurouni Kenshin…

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I don’t really understand.

Even though I’m watching the ultimate duality, I’m launching a bouquet attack.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I understand what you want to do, and I like stories about Mob Shishio’s group and the Kyushu police, but the pacing is bad.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It feels like a bad chemical reaction between the anime side wanting to stretch things out for the next season and Watsuki, who has various regrets and wants to embellish things.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

45 Soaring like a bird! Prevent the battleship Purgatory from setting sail.

46 Purgatory Flames! The Fate of Shishio Makoto

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

The next thread for the reflection meeting is a lifesaver.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is this!?

Is the development of the anime different?!

Seriously!!

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Send Rengoku on a ship worth 10 billion…

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The more Utsui’s appearances are increased around here, the more uncool he becomes…

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems like Watsuki has a strangely logical side, so if given the time, I have an unpleasant sense of acceptance that it would turn out like this.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anyway, I’m just an uncle who wants to see blood no matter what.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because I ignored the guy with the explosive bullet, Shishio has become just a fool.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was because of Aoshi’s doing.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking about a tie-up song.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

(Different from the original…)

(It’s different from the original…)

(This is different from the original…)

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does it mean there were no explosive rounds?

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Original anime is boring.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

After Mr. Raijuta Ishidou was defeated by Kenshin in the anime original.

I thought they were going to attack the old woman and her daughter who were praying to the Jizo statue on the night road.

In the end, the scene of progressing down the road made by humans while once again suffering without being able to cut it is

It’s an expression that, in contrast to Ao-shi advancing along the beast path towards the shura, continues to live while retaining a human heart…

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I wouldn’t say it’s boring, but…

That Satsuma-like accent is seriously unpleasant to my ears, so please stop it.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

I am already a foreigner who speaks broken Japanese.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original work isn’t interesting in that scene anyway, so isn’t it fine to change it?

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Hōji, if you have a rifle, you can probably go far enough to win, right?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though the way of handling things has always been criticized as being too inadequate, following Raijuta adds depth, but following Rengoku just brings a sense of emptiness—what’s that about…?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

It seems that following a person is different from following a stage.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>38

Raijuta’s final additions fit perfectly while subtracting from the original work, but Rengoku was just a lot of additions that dragged on.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the next one will be a single cour or another two cour.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I think Hōji is a bad way to do things.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>40

The influence of being brainwashed by the stage version of Kanyu is definitely showing.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though Usui can’t see, it’s strange that he keeps removing the blindfold from his spiritual eye to intimidate others.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s for size adjustment.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Telling someone to fire explosive shells into the engine room is like saying “go die.”

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if I were to do a Rengoku instant punchline in 2 panels, it might end up being surprising and make it seem like I’m not a painter…

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I thought it was good to have a battle here with Aoshi.

All other additional elements are no good.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of development will happen from here?

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The original creator may have found the sinking of the Purgatory by explosive shells regrettable, but that development had an impactful effect, so I think it would be a shame to get rid of it.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

In the original work, neither Shishio nor Hoji have a sense of incompetence.

The explosive shell is just too amazing.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought Tsunan would get nerfed in the Reiwa era.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

I generally have a positive view, but I definitely didn’t need the previous bouquet toss.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just being used as a joke, and it’s definitely not a good development, even in the original Rengoku.

But there shouldn’t be a development where it seems better to be instantly sunk by an explosive shell.

It’s the surprise blast theory.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Actually, I don’t really dislike stopping explosive rounds with bloodshed…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even though you tried to stop it with a gun, you ended up being blocked anyway… What’s with the bouquet slapping?

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s hard to say that the original anime feels like a time-wasting effort…

It would be nice if they could insert side stories like in Zero Chapter or include behind-the-scenes anecdotes and settings to enhance the characters’ activities.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t have any memories of the last few chapters… was it this long of a story? I was confused.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shishio is being far too complacent.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

The most surprising and the one we should have been most wary of was Tsunan.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt like they were just filling time with original content to avoid catching up to the source material for the time being.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought I would be shown unexpected anime-original filler in the Reiwa era.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

You must not laugh at the Kyoto Great Fire.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to hype it up, just hype up the battles of the Netherworld…

But I guess I won’t have the stamina to keep up at this anime studio…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

That said, Raiden Film is doing its best too…

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The mob part is simply for length adjustment, but I like the other changes, especially around Aoshi-sama.

Because in the original story, it turns out I’m in a library where I don’t really know who might come.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

That’s what makes it good…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

I kind of like that extra stage feeling…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we keep doing nothing but original anime, we’ll never reach the Human Punishment Chapter again, and it’s frightening.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

No… it’s not like I wanted to see Rengoku get killed instantly.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

“A potentially dangerous explosive bomb crafted by a rebellious painter attempting to overthrow the state may be thrown in.”

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s not a decisive battle in the Underworld like in the live-action version, then it’s better to sink it quickly.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

The mob part is probably a result of reacting to the opinion that the Shishio faction is lame for being thwarted by the Kyoto mob.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time, they also put effort into the animation for Aoshi-sama.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s so sad for Rengoku that the battleship drawn with great effort by the animator gets taken out in the first episode by a bomb.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least the battles on the ship were better than just battling in the hole; it felt more like being a ninja.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The nerf to explosive bullets is fine, but because of that, characters like Houji and various others have seen a drop in their value.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it is a popular original work, it should at least make it to the end of the Kyoto arc, so I do not have any particular concerns.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to Rurouni Kenshin’s original animation, it must be the Shimabara Arc, right…?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The battles will carry over to the next season, so we’re stretching the runtime.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sano, who was searching for the engine room,

I was thinking about how I found the engine room quite easily.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hōji’s last bouquet attack was incomprehensible, but stopping the blood explosion round raised his stock, making it feel like he ended up around zero, slightly in the negative.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

The length surplus is serious.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like that it nullifies explosive rounds with blood, but if we’re increasing Houji’s appearances, I would have preferred it if he had fought properly against Sano with a rifle.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

I am worried if the hideout battle will last two seasons next year.

Even the old anime that was being serialized concurrently finished the epilogue in about 16 episodes.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

We can have a talk with Tsubame with the leftover episodes.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

It would be good to do up to the Jin-chu chapter.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we’re going to do another 2-cour, we’ll have to stretch the time like crazy again…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the original work, when entering Shishio’s hideout, there were instances where Aoshi and Anji on the ally side were like “Were you there?” So I think it’s good that they created a connection for that prior stage.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

“The old television broadcast version is really only good for the Kyoto part.”

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey, hey, hey! I died, Purgatory.

Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend of the Kyoto Arc

Hey, hey, hey!

I died, Purgatory.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to stretch out the runtime, I wish you’d divide it among other anime that were lacking in length…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Shishio-sama is being too relaxed, thinking something like, “If I fail, I can just fight Himura.”

With this, it also feels good that Shishio recognizes Hōji again during the part where he properly attempts to pull off the nail.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thinking about it, it was quite sudden to have the first animation adaptation in the previous season! It felt like they were just revisiting past stories…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rengoku is so cool!

But it’s too much trouble to draw, so I’ll just sink it!

…So as the original author, I would be happy if they could shine in the anime-original content.

Because I don’t draw the anime myself!

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

The original creator and the assistant both don’t want to draw!! We agree on that!

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

In the first place, there was hardly any material, and there were cries of it being impossible, so it ended up being deemed impossible from various directions regarding the original work.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think Rengoku is very active this time either, to be honest…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original creator comes up with a cool design with great confidence, but then they change the design or quickly remove it because they feel it’s too much trouble to draw it, repeating this cycle for decades, which is why they don’t grow…

It’s a hassle to draw the armed alchemy spear, so I made it smaller, and it’s also a hassle to draw the fluff on Raijuta’s shoulder, so I had him exit…

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>100

Since there isn’t much time between Rurouni Kenshin and Fullmetal Alchemist, and the Hokkaido arc doesn’t have anything like that, saying it’s been several decades is too much of a casual statement.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>100

Why is this collar so huge…?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking about the persistently depicted large cleavage of Kaoru-dono this time as well.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gufu♥

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, there’s really no way to defend the rose attack.

I didn’t know what kind of emotion I should feel.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

The explosive round I received was this much of a potato masher, huh…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

That’s how anime is.

The original work is like a battery.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

The design changed in the anime, huh? I thought I was mistaken.

…Is there a need to change it?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

At least I had doubts about how it was possible to use that button type back in those days, and I wondered how it should be used since it explodes immediately after being pressed.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

There are some parts of the layout of Tsunan-sensei’s house and historical accuracy that have been changed from time to time.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

I hear there weren’t any storage sheds back then.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

The closet, which was filled with bombs, has now turned into an empty space under the floor.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

It seems that there wouldn’t have been a closet in terms of historical research.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

It’s not that there aren’t any, but it seems there weren’t any in those kind of poor row houses.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why is even the official story such a complete mess?

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>108

I’m not saying it’s terrible just because it’s different from the original.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, it’s too much to tear down the entire outer wall, so I guess we’ll break it from the inside.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m just saying it’s different from the original.

There are those who receive strange things on their own accord.

Spring is just around the corner, isn’t it?

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>115

You underestimate winter.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that since the fans are mostly of a certain age, it would have been better to stick with the original storyline, even if it seemed silly, rather than putting in changes.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The part where Shishio’s underlings are talking about friendship! makes me seriously grimace.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>https://rurouni-kenshin.com/special/rengoku/

I was also joking about mastering the Double Perfection just like the original work, so it seems like making a crappy game is fun.

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Hoji likes the end, so there’s a feeling that he’d like to not lower his stock too much until reaching that point.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>https://rurouni-kenshin.com/special/rengoku/

Why do you always prepare such weird games, official?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s called a dark age, I want you to have confidence that Rurouni Kenshin was the flagship manga of Jump.

There aren’t many places in the Kyoto edition that need such major changes.

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s just a story about how the storage room has changed.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Rather, I have a good impression because they are correcting things while doing historical research.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>131

What did you see…?

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Isn’t it just that I fixed it because it didn’t match the times?

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>133

So it’s a story that questions what meaning it has and suggests that it’s pointless.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

Well, it’s my own response, but I had the impression that Rurouni Kenshin didn’t really demand such thorough historical accuracy.

I just thought it was strange that “storage” always comes up in discussions about original anime and such.

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even if it ends up being historically inaccurate, sticking to the original work is the way it should be.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>134

You just have to read the original work, you know.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>134

It’s something that the original creator can do as they please.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it’s an anime original that I don’t know if it can properly conclude, I feel like they should have dedicated that time to the original episodes instead.

Since Rurouni Kenshin will probably be completed anyway, it’s nice to add some episodes and watch it slowly.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like this is what happens when the current Watsuki creates it, showcasing the efforts of the mob characters.

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>137

I don’t think it’s so disconnected from the time considering there are scenes where the mob police are doing their best in the Human Execution chapter.

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>137

I don’t think it’s due to Watsuki’s intention in adjusting the length of the anime’s season.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry, but I cannot provide that translation.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I have mixed feelings; on one hand, I understand that historical accuracy can’t be helped, but on the other hand, I wished it would have just stayed the same.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, regarding guns, it’s questionable if someone would actually shoot in such a narrow space with iron preparation.

The reason why my subordinate was scared is because of the danger of ricochet, but I’m fine with the possibility of getting hit myself, so I say just shoot.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

The part about the closet is fine, you know.

It’s an original anime, but the length shouldn’t have changed.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Otaku dislike change.

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>144

Isn’t that more of an old person’s tendency rather than an otaku one?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow, Shishio-sama doesn’t seem very regretful even though Rengoku has sunk this time.

In the original work, they were furious and said to pull out Sagara Sanosuke’s skull and bring it!

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If I’m not very good at both adding and subtracting, I wonder what will happen from here on out.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

Was there anywhere that was bad after shaving?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original work has a wonderfully tricky length that fits into the current anime seasonal format.
