The awesome that will be the Rurouni Kenshin movie knows no bounds. The final two-minute long movie trailer has just been released and sometime between dinner and now I scraped my jaw off the floor to write up this post. Check out my post on the teaser trailer here from a few months ago, because this tops that and then some. The production also released a slew of movie posters that ratchets up the pretty to new heights, all of which confirm without a doubt that lead Sato Takeru is Kenshin. He is Kenshin so perfectly that I have no words to describe how he turned a three-dimensional unforgettable amazing Edo swordsman into a living, breathing specimen beyond what I imagined. He rocks the red hair and the criss-cross scar effortlessly, and toggles between easy going Kenshin and unmatched Battosai in the blink of an eye.
The production looks stellar and all the secondary actors appears to be spot on in rocking some outlandishly memorable villains and sidekicks. I’m still worried about Takei Emi as Kaoru, but I’ve heard great things about her most recent twin performance in W no Higeki, so perhaps she’s upped her game. I think even if she’s just okay, everyone else appears to be bringing their A-game, and lordy am I salivating over the end product. Manga-to-screen adaptations are notoriously hit-or-miss, and the most recent ones like Paradise Kiss have atrociously butchered a great source material. I hold Rurouni Kenshin in the highest regard, so this movie might just be the holy grail of Shonen samurai manga adaptations. Can I just finish by pointing out how smoking hot Takeru has turned out after going through his quirky goofy stage.
Check out the various posters below.
Here’s the character chart for the movie. Look’s like the movie covers the first arc, which makes sense since it’s only got a two hour running time. The movie opens on August 25th, so those lucky enough to be in Japan must let me know if it’s as good as the trailers look.
If this trailer doesn’t make your knees go weak from want, then you’re not a real Kenshin fan. LOL, just kidding. But not really. 😛 We’re so lucky, the production team from this movie did the recently highly rated Taiga Ryomaden.

Thank You for the article Mrs. Koala
rurouni kenshin is my no.1 manga of all time
i can't wait ;A;
YAY on your flawless taste in mangas
for someone who likes the fluffiest of dramas your manga preferences are surprisingly gritty
i can watch most kdramas but i've always been almost exclusively a shonen girl
amazing trailer :D
:)
OMGGGG... Sato has never looked so hawt...
me likes :)
Wow, the trailer looks awesome :D thanks for sharing, Mrs. Koala!
OMG... this movie seems to be in the making for the longest time.... can't wait....
It really looks good. I love it that now they can do live version of the hero "jumping from heights with his sword raised" move so realistically.
Very eager for this film now.
It looks freaking awesome!
Don't talk about that atrocity that was Parakiss, I love that manga but the movie was just terrible in so many ways including casting.
Sato Takeru has really transformed himself, I knew he had potential but he is looking excellent. Takei Emi, she's usually pretty meh, W jo higeki was I would say her best performance up to now but there also she had a very good supporting cast.
The supporting cast here is top notch, Yu Aoi (fangirl squeel) she's one awesome actress, she always transforms herself into whatever she's playing.
Thank you thank you thank you!
That looks friggin' awesome! Sato's looking all sorts of hawt and that's SOME mane of glory! O_O
This. Is. So. Freaky! Just yesterday, I was wondering about this movie... I forogt the name but I wanted to watch it. And here you are with another post about it. This time I'll be sure to remember the name :)
