SYNOPSIS
The legendary manga and anime series ‘Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story’ has captivated audiences worldwide, regardless of age. With 72 million copies sold and a live-action film series grossing 19.3 billion yen, its popularity endures. In 2023, a new TV anime series was produced with an entirely new staff and cast. The first season, comprising 24 episodes, premiered in July 2023, followed by the second season, ‘Kyoto Disturbance,’ scheduled for October 2024.
Originally created by Nobuhiro Watsuki, the series debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1994 and was first adapted into a TV anime in 1996. Since then, it has expanded into various productions, including OVAs and feature films. Currently, the ‘Hokkaido Arc’ is being serialized in Jump SQ.
To intensify the battle scenes in the second season, Yuki Komada (Assistant Director of ‘Blade of the Immortal’) has been appointed director, while Hideyuki Kurata (‘Made in Abyss’) continues to oversee series composition. As ‘Rurouni Kenshin’ celebrates its 30th anniversary, its timeless, universal story and characters’ unwavering convictions will come alive once more.
