Anime : Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story

New anime started from Jul/2023.
It is based on a well-known popular manga (1994-99, 255 episodes), which has already been made into a TV anime (1996-98, 94 episodes), but this is a new production with a new production team and voice casts.
According to the official website, it has been confirmed that the series will run for two consecutive seasons, and it will be interesting to see how much of the original manga will be covered during this time.
Incidentally, the 1996-98 TV anime covered up from "Tokyo Arc" and "Kyoto Arc" and did not cover the "Jinchu Arc". The original manga artist Watsuki Nobuhiro was not heavily involved in the content of the work.
In turns, this current version is supervised by Watsuki himaelf, and is produced by LIDENFILMS("Tokyo Revengers"), directed by Yamamoto Hideyo("Strike the Blood: Director), and composed by Kurata Hideyuki("Made in Abyss": Composition and Script). The voice casts are Saito Soma("Moriarty the Patriot":William James Moriarty), Takahashi Rie("Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!":Megumin), Koichi Makoto("Farewell, My Dear Cramer":Tsukuda Mao), Yashiro Taku ("Chainsaw man" : Arai Hirokazu), Onishi Saori("Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? ":Aiz Wallenstein), Uchida Yuma("Jujutsu Kaisen":Fushiguro Megumi), Hino Satoshi("Demon Slayer":Rengoku Kyoujuro) and others.
Someone who knows the old version also can enjoy how each episode will be redrawn this time.
