no_comparisonBM said: and one thing that kind of bothered me is the sound effects, like they were too heavy (at least in the trailers). The sound effects are actually one of the very good point of this "Remake". You can feels the swords clashing, with a metal-like sound, whereas we were closer to paper cut ones in the original. I love that they also put an accent on Kenshin's speed, with a lighting-like reverberation (?). They definitely have a more epic feeling here. no_comparisonBM said: So I’m asking if the animation, music, etc. are good in this version and if it is worth watching. The animation is impacting during fights, but lackluster the rest of the time. The directing is poor. The musics are forgettable, and often badly mixed/synced with what happens on-screen. The story is great, almost always better than the original or the Manga, especially thanks to the many small additions or alterations, adding a layer to several characters or parts of the story. The removal of comedy hurt the characterization of a few characters tho, and makes the show... bland, at times. They also removed a few very short moments that made some of the characters badass, and that's a shame. Overall, it's worth watching as an alternative take on the original Anime/Manga, but it's really not on par to what we could have expected, looking at the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin. Their choices for the sub-Arc of Saitô is also very questionnable at times, and makes me worried for the 2nd Season... Atleast, i'm convinced it really will not be nearly as good as the original Anime or the Live-Action Movies. So i'd say that you should watch it, but keep your expectations in check. |

| I think it’s worth watching as animation pretty cool. Some people may say to watch the 90s version though |
