SparCy said: So it’s officially made by the author so I wouldn’t quite call it filler, but it’s also not in the original manga so it’s not exactly canon, so I would just say it’s anime canon. It's officially Canon to the Original Manga. That's also why it uses the subtitle of it , when all of Tokuhitsuban does not. |

OnimuraThe13 said: The old anime had a ton of filler if u never watched it. But i never read the manga myself so idk Yeah. Almost half of the 94 episodes are fillers... OnimuraThe13 said: then it got canceled i think? Yeah. Episodes 63-94 are all fillers , without exception. They were also not very good , so the audience percent just dived down , until it was decided to cancel the show. OnimuraThe13 said: and manga has a proper ending? which i hope we see here Yeah. It also got 2 Epilogues. A Sequel Manga started a few years ago tho. Note that the 1996's Anime did got an end. Actually , even 3. - There is the VHS-only Special (considered as episode 95) , which is an open-ending. - The Seisou-hen OVAs , which are an Anime-Original ending. It went for a tragic story. - The Collector's DVD-BOX's Special , which adapts the last few panels of the Manga. If this 2023's adaptation gets multiple Seasons , we'll see the 3rd one , with hopefully some of the Epilogues. |

| @Alexioos95 I mean, at least the arc about the Christian Missionaries was really well put together. It has a fair share of historical value. |

Both that and the Feng Shui eps were “historically relevant “ drab. This ended after Shishio, it just took its time realizing it was done.
| @Truzzle Nah, one was a boring mess, the other was just a good enough side story, considering it was just a filler thing. Their execution is night and day in terms of storytelling. Most of the filler for Kenshin was straight bad or terribly dull, but the Christian arc was the sole exception as far as I remember. It was for a while the only filler arc worth the time checking for decades in forum discussions, and it was short enough that people at times put it on display on anime events in my country back when Kenshin had higher popularity. Whenever I revisit I still remember it being the one thing Deen did right in the third season, I wonder who was the scriptwriter for that one. Sources usually say that the writer for anything except eps 79-82 (by Kouzou Kaku) was written by Nobuhiro himself and then adapted into screenplay. Michiru Shimada (big early One Piece veteran before the pacing went to crap, and main screenwriter for all Little Busters! anime stuff) was the one responsible for it and almost half of the eps for Kenshin overall, so at least in there I can see anything in terms of execution, I guess. |
