The Live-Action Rurouni Kenshin Movie Looks Rurouni as Hell
I guess. Honestly, I never got around to watching Rurouni Kenshin back in my anime heyday, so I don’t have the faintest clue what “rurouni” actually means. However, I do know that even with my limited knowledge this live-action adaptation looks pretty accurate to the hit manga, and looks pretty fun, too. Anime New Network has a list of who’s playing who, although chances are if you recognize their names you already recognized them in this video, and if you didn’t they wouldn’t mean anything to you anyways.
