| Well this sucks. |
notsureifsrs said: Well this sucks. It sure does. I am still going to watch it in spite of this pointless remake... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

 |
| it deserves more than that |
| First thoughts: Is this CLAMP? It better not be freaking CLAMP! |
| well....this ruined my day and my summer... :( |
| Why??? Battle of Shishio from Misao's point of view??? She didn't even see the battle!!!!!! WTF! |

| Aww to bad, the illustration looks great though..guess i should finish the anime now at least >.< |
| I'm pretty damned disappointed by this. I suppose seeing the Jinchu arc animated is too much to ask for. Heaven forbid that the Kenshin anime gets proper closure by seeing the true series finale animated. I still may check the OVAs out since I never saw the anime but read/bought the manga instead. That's a big maybe, that key illustration isn't doing it for me. At least there's still Persona 4: The Animation to look forward to this fall... |
 |  . |
| Goddamn it DEEN |
| Ok™ |
| Like I said: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=292923&show=40#msg10571753 ^_- |
| I knew I was hoping for too much before. Might as well watch it anyways. |
| Hah, well that's too bad. |
| Damn! Damn! DAMN!! There's always a fricken catch to everything! |
| "The R1 Anime business is a cruel and shallow financial trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." |
| I'm disappointed. It turned out to be nothing to look forward to. And why from Misao's point of view? Does it really have to be one of the most annoying characters of this manga? She wasn't even there when the battle took place. |
| Misao is always cool. |
 |
| WTH!? am i suppose to be happy w/ this? i'd rather have a Jinchuu Arc OVA. still i'll watch this, but that was utterly disappointing. |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Psh. What a letdown. |
| Saito's new seiyu is cool, otherwise, nothing exciting. I thought it'd be great news (now everything was announced, but a oneshot manga or something! now THAT would be awesome), but the picture... Uhh... What the heck is that shiny-fluffy atmosphere, gosh, it's not an otome game! Plus it's too CG-ish... I can't understand why it's so difficult to produce the manga's style... EDIT: Just realized that Studio Deen made the latter part of the series (i.e. which is possibly one of the worst filler season that was ever made, with badly written script, even worse graphics, and only the openings and endings were worth watching; plus it had no real ending >__>). No wonder they came up with these ovas >__> EDIT2: Wait... SO NO JINCHUU-ARC?? THIS is the new anime, and that's it? .... Great. Just great... Way to make fans mad >__> |

| Two big disappointments in one day. First new ZNT is just a recap, and now this crap |

| Highly disappointed that the hyped up new Kenshin anime is this, I wanted a proper Jinchuu arc to be made not this shitty OVA about the Shishio battle in Misao's POV. WTF Studio DEEN!!! |
| wtf..... |
| this looks hella awful from the animation |
| Yeah, it doesn't mean that another season isn't coming after this OVA. And besides, Kenshin and most of the other male characters have always had the Bishounen look, it's not all that surprising. |

| I'm disappointed. |
 |
| Studio Deen? HOW DARE THEY! |
| I am sad. Very sad. |
| fate/stay night has cool animation,though. but seeing the new kenshin's art style,it is indeed looks disappointing. |
| lol was just rewatching some of kenshins episode when i saw this news ... |
| DEEN? Yuck. |
New Cast Saito Hajime: Narita Ken Uhhhhh. Are they going to replace Kenshin's seiyuu as well? |
| i wouldn't have mind a 13 episodes but e ova is kinda disappointing |
kuchitsu said: New Cast Saito Hajime: Narita Ken Uhhhhh. Are they going to replace Kenshin's seiyuu as well? No. They are only replacing Saito's, cuz you know, the guy who voiced him kinda died in 2006. |
 |
| I don't see why people is disappointed, As a true Kenshin fan, I'm happy with whatever they give from Kenshin, hell, I wouldn't be disappointed if they give an OVA series based on only Kaoru! |
     |
| Damnit, I wanted a retelling on the whole manga! Well, I guess you can't always get what you want. |
"I don't believe in a lot of things but I do believe in duct tape!"  |
| Wtf is this shit :x |
| I haven't actually finished Rurouni Kenshin, but... That animation is just horrible. |
| And someone suggested the new Kenshin anime will put Gintama on shame. too bad though :D Being an honest Kenshin fan, I am really disappointed. Enishi fcuking where?!?! Studio Deen sucks and the animation looks horribad. :( |
