I know that in the original kenshin was sillier when he wasn't fighting... Which version is closer to the manga?


This adaptation greatly reduced the comedy , which includes the goofiness of Kenshin and the aggressiveness of Kaoru.
In those aspects , the Original Anime is closer to the Manga.

Ah... That's a spoiler tho.
That's literally content from the Final Arc of the Manga.

This adaptation is not a Remake , but a re-interpretation.

There was the Original Manga , a great balance of Action/Comedy.
The 1996 Anime adapted it , but altered quite a lot of content , while also adding even more Comedy.
This 2023 adaptation follow the events of the Manga , but removed a lot of the Comedy , to make the story more serious.

So actually , just pick the one which you will most likely like , and you can always (and i invite you to) experience the other when you want to.
If you really want a recommendation , then i'd say watch this one , and when the Season is finished , you can go-back to the beginning of the Original Anime/Manga to see how different it is , or continue from it to see the continuation.

Ah thanks for the help again! I'll stick with this adaptation for now and maybe check the older when this season finishes.

Seeing Kenshin defend the citizens without killing anyone has really inspired Yahiko to be a better person as shown when he returned that elderly woman purse. I can’t wait to see Kenshin save Yahiko next week.

Watching Kenshin beat those thugs was really satisfying. Also this guy will totally join the dojo, isn't he?
