Live Action Rurouni Kenshin Movie Releases Fantastic Trailer

Can someone tell me when Sato Takeru suddenly turned smoking hot? I mean, a few years ago he was Miura Haruma‘s side kick in Bloody Monday, and now he’s freaking KENSHIN! And not only is he Kenshin, he’s ridiculously perfect as the character based on what I see in the trailer for the live-action movie adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin. The only thing off is his height (the joke is that Kenshin is such a shrimpy short guy no one could believe he was the legendary swordsman), but he nails both Kenshin’s carefree demeanor and his intensity when he is forced to fight. Also, he looks great as a red head. Rawr, I paw paw at him.

It’s embarrassing to admit how many times I’ve watched this trailer, so the most I will confess to is making incoherent babbling noises the first time I watched it. Rurouni Kenshin is one of my absolute favorite shonen mangas, and I highly recommend it. A fabulous story with great insight into Japanese cultural and political history during the transition from the Edo into the Meiji period. Watch the trailer with English subs and tell me it doesn’t knock your socks off with the sheer amount of awesome.

  • The noise I just made was not human.

    Also, for some unexplainable reason, I have tears in my eyes and my throat is choked. I honestly have no clue why.

    I swear, if this turns out to be one of those movies where the trailer is magnificent and has all the good parts and the movie is meh, there will be no one who was involved in the making of said movie that will be left alive.

    P.S. Who plays Sano? And which arcs will they be covering? By the looks of it, they have the Jin-e arc, but that's all I can definitely say...

  • This looks excellent! But I'm more worried about Takei emi, she is not a very strong actress (yet, she's so young) but the supporting cast is very good from Aoi Yuu (squeel) to Munetaka Aoki.
    Yes, I'm wondering that too, Sato was so cute and now he is all grown up.

  • OMG....u are right. He is on one hand, all childlike innocence and in another scene, decisive and precise when fighting. Two completely different personas...wow. I'm hooked. And I haven't even read the manga! Thanks for the intro :D

  • Oh my!! Amazing!!! Nice trailer!!!
    My favorite epic Rurouni Kenshin... now in movie... bring it on... I wanna watch!!!

  • every time i see him as kenshin, i think of his kamen rider den-o role.. i think that his 4 or 5 personalities in that one show lends a lot. i'm excited to see this.

    • or, rather... i'm looking forward to seeing it... when it comes out on dvd... (which won't be for a while with the popularity of the story looking to a potential long run in the theatres, perhaps?)
