#jinchuu

I see a lot of people posting their thoughts on the Final and expressing their disappointment for the film so I thought I’d share my opinion briefly and and some news.

I distanced myself from RK for the better part of 5 years, and I think it’s time to come back to it because, despite the author’s atrocious acts that should rightfully be condemned, working in image capture has really altered my perspective on the vision and integrity of the filmmakers, and I have some deep thoughts on Otomo’s interpretation of the Jinchuu arc and I want to write about it while distancing myself as far as possible from Watsuki.

THAT SAID. The film is amazing, easily the best made RK film by a landslide so far (not counting the Beginning yet as I haven’t seen it), and I have many thoughts on the actual handling of the arc and some grievances with the fandom that perhaps I can clear up. I’m going to rewatch it this weekend properly with a friend to get her perspective, I’m going to take some notes, and I’m going to do a proper write up on why I think a majority of the fandom doesn’t quite know how to adequately engage with this film.  I have chosen violence. 

How the hitokiri became the rurouni...

Rurouni Kenshin: The Final/The Beginning live action film

It’s none other than our much awaited Jinchuu Arc of the manga.

(spoilers ahead) they should honestly remake the entire rurouni kenshin anime, only this time they should follow the manga. i was so angry when they didn’t include the jinchu arc. kenshins past with tomoe and his entire fight with enishi is very important! not to mention his ending with kaoru.
