|
2011 marks the 15th Anniversary of Rurouni Kenshin [Samurai X to us] and various projects were announced to celebrate the occasion. First there was the 2D beat 'em up PSP game released back in March, which re-united the original cast members. Then there was the announcement of the upcoming live-action movie which started filming last month, and is due to be released in 2012. Now Aniplex has announced a new two-part OVA, the first of which is to be released in Japanese cinemas this December.
For now, only the details of the first OVA has been revealed. Its title is the “New Kyoto Arc" (新京都編), and is a remake of the battle against Makoto Shishio but from kunoichi Makimachi Misao’s perspective. Fans will be happy to know that Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi and Studio DEEN are returning to animate the new series, as well as most of the original seiyuu cast reprising their respective roles with the exception of Hajime Saitou, with Hirotaka Suzuoki being replaced by Ken Narita.
