Synopsis

After living peaceful days at the Kamiya dojo, Kenshin Himura finds himself at a crucial crossroads, as his vow to never end a life is put to the ultimate test.

Following the murder of his former commander, he now has to retread the road of violence and blood to take down Makoto Shishio—the assassin prodigy who calls himself the notorious Battousai's successor. With ambitions to overthrow the Meiji government and establish his dominion in Kyoto, Shishio has meticulously schemed for a decade, building a formidable anti-government military force. Now, Shishio has turned his sights toward recruiting Aoshi Shinomori, a cold-blooded killer and the former leader of the legendary Oniwaban Group warriors.

As Kenshin travels through a village abandoned by the government and currently under the iron fist of Shishio's henchmen, he is determined to prevent the country from spiraling back into civil war. He allies with his former rival, Hajime Saitou, forging a fragile partnership in a battle against Shishio's empire that will determine the fate of Japan.

Preliminary (6/23 eps)
Since no one else has written a review yet, I figured that I should share my thoughts to anyone who was on the fence about this show. To be completely honest, I wouldn't have known that this anime was even airing if I didn't receive a notification on MAL. With shows like Dandadan and Ao no Hako premiering this season, it is somewhat understandable why this is being released with such little fanfare. However, this is the best part of Kenshin, AND there's no filler. There's not much else you can really ask for. New viewers and old viewers alike should enjoy this show. The ...

Preliminary (7/23 eps)
This series is not getting the hype it needs.
Although it's a great series. Season 1 was great and season 2 is also going fine as Kenshin travels to kyoto, along the way he meets new character. Season 2 is going to be a action banger. Animation is great as season 1. According to me season 2 great. Opening Play is also great i really loved it. It's a 8/10 for me but I m giving 9/10 because it's not getting the hype it needs.
