New Rurouni Kenshin Anime, Blu-ray OVAs in the Works

Anime News Network and others are reporting that this week’s issue of Jump Square magazine holds a special announcement for the 15th anniversary of Rurouni Kenshin – a new anime has been greenlit! No word yet whether this will be a new series, OVA, or film, but any new Kenshin will certainly be welcomed by fans.

In addition, if the older material is more your speed, you’ll have a new higher-quality way to watch it soon as well. With Japanese release dates of late August, September, and October (no official word on US release yet), the two Kenshin OVAs and the full length feature will be hitting blu-ray, watchable in high definition glory.

The Kenshin manga spanned 255 chapters, and the original anime series had 95 episodes.

    I seriously think this might be a reboot of the series, FMA Brotherhood style. RK never really got a proper anime ending, in my opinion.

    I did write something on Saitou Hajime, who is probably one of the more interesting characters in anime/manga. You can read it at:

    The OVAs & movie in HD are nice, but I think the fans prefer an actual series more than them.
