It's very popular.

But this Season , there is behemoths airing : Bleach , Jujutsu Kaisen , Mushoku Tensei , and even some just slighly less popular : Zom 100 , Horimiya , Watashi no Shiawase , Kanojo Okarishimasu...

It's naturally getting overshadowed.

Not 2nd cour , but 2nd Season. (So 3rd & 4th cour)
It'll probably start the Arc at the end of this Season tho.

And yes , it's true.

It's been very slow, yes. But I also heard that the arcs that made this manga/anime a success are still to come.

Zom 100 affected due to delays..but my happy marriage was like number 3 show when jjk was on a break and hormiya was too in top 5 , Rent A Girlfriend is shockingly too much popular in Japan.....

So ya..this show got overshadowed.....the next season also has too mcuh competition with the peak of Shibuya Arc , Shadow in Eminence Season 2,Ragna crimson , undead unluck ......

Actually this begining arc is not that interesting. I wait for Saito vs Kenshin, Shishio vs Kenshin and more. 2nd and 3rd arcs are amazing but this one is just okay

I never said they were great... just "popular".

Because yes , Rent-A-Girlfriend is extremely popular.
It sells more than Horimiya and way more than Zom 100...

The beginning of kenshin have its purpose to introduce the main cast and their background, so it isn't exciting. However kyoto arc is where this series raises the bar high thus we'll see. The og so far have an upper hand in term of soundtracks imo in that arc as well, sound design is as important as animation goes and can hinder some of the immersion. It's decent so far for me personally.

For those talking so good about season 2 (Kyoto Arc) being the best, remember that it wouldn't be any good without everything that happened in season 1. Every part has its purpose and when all the pieces fall in place the payout is greater... Its part of why its a masterpiece. Season 1 is definetly not for zoomers with the attention span of a fly.

It's not a good number, not even in the 2000 most subscribed entries in MAL, rare for a franchise that was one of the pilars of action shounens in its time.

Don't be stupid, watch or don't watch it's ur choice but trying to criticize people watching it is just quite dense.
"Funding the Creator's child porn" cause that makes any sense.

Agreed! This first arc may not be the most fast paced but it sets out the characters and their motivations nicely ahead of the coming arcs. Also is a nice start to the story as it’s easy to understand and backstories are not yet developed far like they will be in later arcs where you feel more emotional having known the characters for longer. I’m loving it.

@Alexioos95 That's not fully true though, in this particular season alone, it has the same popularity as vending machine isekai, and is below so many other shows that you didn't name like:

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, Liar Liar, Reign of the Seven Spellblades, and The Dreaming Boy is a Realist.

It is, clearly less popular that you would expect from a title as well known as kenshin.

It's not unpopular, but it is about average or maybe even a little below in terms of popularity this season. which is less than what one would expect.

Indeed.
However , even the shows you mentionned aren't unpopular either. x)

To be honest , the reputation of Watsuki and his works did dived in the US. The ongoing Sequel is not even available legally...

And we are still talking about a story of the 90s.
Without memes or poster girls , there really is not many of them that are still popular nowadays.

I mean, I've just been busy with shows I KNEW I'd like from this season, plus the other popular shows I wanted to check out. I knew this would be a 2-Cour, so I've purposefully avoided it until now, as 1.) Either I'll love this and want to binge it, or 2.) the populace will watch it for me, decide it is inferior to the original adaptation, and give me an excuse to pass on this version of Rurouni Kenshin.

Now that I've wrapped up the Summer 2023 season, I'm going to pick this up and blitz through the first half before the Fall 2023 season gets rolling.

Me personally I don't have much interest in the remaking of the beginning stuff since the classic OG anime adaptation did that well enough for me. I'm curious to see how this thing will be past the Shisho vs. Kenshin fight which is a long ways off. Otherwise I rather watch new experiences of the season until I get some downtime.

Most of young people dont even know about the original version of this anime.... and that says a lot.

Second, this anime is kinda slow at first... but it gets pretty good the further it goes.

A Solid Classic.... One of the Best Ones or maybe the Best One i saw during my childhood.
