Rurouni Kenshin (2012) Teaser Trailer

[Bob Hubbard]

Teaser trailer added for manga turned live-action film RUROUNI KENSHIN - stars Takeru Sato, Emi Takei, Teruyuki Kagawa & Yu Aoi (movie looks very cool). Release date is August 25, 2012 in Japan.

Looks interesting.

Nice!

 

[clfsean]

hmmmm..... I dunno...

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Question is, is it following the manga, the anime, the OVA's or the movie?

 

[Aiki Lee]

Who cares? It's Kenshin! It would be hard to screw up.

It would be hard to screw up.

That's been proven wrong before... Dune, Battlefield Earth ... as examples.

Looks interesting but I will wait and see...

 

[seasoned]

I'm game..........

Looking at the trailer, it appears to be a Kenshin from the series (cross shaped scar), not the 'Bakumatsu years', though the fight scenes were intense enough to possibly be from then. Cameos looked to include Kaoru & Sanosuke.

According to Wikipedia they are aiming for international distribution and a possible series, which could be cool.

 

[Aiki Lee]

I bet it will be a plot summary of the first major arc with the villian as Kurogasa and flashbacks to the Bakamatsu.

The film is scheduled for a August 25, 2012 release, and the staff "aims to release the film internationally and eventually make a series."[/quote]

Rurouni Kenshin Manga Gets Live-Action Film in 2012 (Updated)

The ranma 1/2 live action was good wish
They added shampoo. Great teacher onizuka
I like the live action a lot. Gokusen live action is better
Than the manga and anime. Sailor moon live action
Is OK. Zettai kareshi I think the live actions better.

The kenshin live action I think will be good
But the anime has such a huge impact
On the anime community. It's always cool
To see how they go from manga anime live action

I hope they don't mess up

Well, the vid has been disabled. However, that said. . . that was one of the first animes I ever saw, and I loved it. I do hope the film is done well . . .
