るろうに剣心 映画 : Rurouni Kenshin Movie 2012

I stopped studying Japanese for a few years since college days.  Too ashamed to get back and losing it all over again because there was and still is absolutely no chance to make use of it. Rurouni Kenshin (るろうに剣心) is the only story that always bring that fire back. My all-time favorite samurai anime is now being brought to life!

I was reluctant to watch at first, for fear of disappointment that it wouldn't come out as good. I was wrong. This is the only movie that best depict the life of Himura Kenshin, a wanderer formerly known as 'Hitokiri Battousai'. Of course, a 2-hour movie can't possibly covers Kenshin's whole transition through the 95 episodes and OVAs.  The movie only tells us encounter of Kenshin and Kaoru and opponent like Jin-e, although it managed to cover Kenshin's past as Battousai. This is as good as it gets. I still wish there will be more movies coming because the real highlight is when he fought against Shishio Makoto,  assassin of the shadow, and Yukishiro Enishi, Tomoe's (Kenshin's wife) younger brother.
