The best anime adaptation. It's so good I watch it more than 10 times.

[@Ange65230]

Possibly one of the best films ever. Fight scenes were awesome without being ridiculous, the acting, scenery, costumes and overall cinematography were a delight. There were no subtitles on the edition I watched so I could only guess the script, but it did not detract from a wonderful experience

[@JoCal]

One of the best movies from Japan. Highly recommended.

[@orphanmeat4sale24]

One of the best live action out there, I've watched it over a dozen times now

[@redstarseed514]

That’s Kenshin, of course he’s powerful. Whoever say Kenshin looks helpless needs to re-examine their eyes.

[@cameroncalger8724]

Nah they don’t let them think kenshin weak so they can find out why he himura kenshin

[@generationwolves]

It's just a lame clickbait attempt.

[@finding_aether]

Isn't his whole shtick in the anime that he looks like a small teenager so opponents underestimate him all the time? (even tho he is around 30)

[@nirvanasingh2]

Isn't he's less than 1.6m tall in the anime?

[@ahikampasion63]

One of the best live action films out there.

[@Bellator_of_the_Shadow]

He looked so proud of the groceries he got in the end 🤣

[@hnalike7778]

One of the best sword action movies so far.

[@WimleGo]

At 5:32 "It turned out that Kaoru has a personal grudge against a Battousai because several years ago, the real Battousai killed her father very cruelly" - THIS IS INCORRECT! Kaoru has been looking for the fake Battousai because he was killing people and spread a rumor that he was using the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, a sword-style created by Kaoru's father. This eventually tarnished the reputation of the Kamiya Kasshin dojo where Kaoru teaches causing people to stay away. This was a plot by Takeda so he could buy the dojo. The story is different in the anime. The film version is compressed and characters were mixed up. In the anime version, the fake Battousai was Hiruma Gohei, a former student of Kamiya Kasshin and not Udo Jin-e, a former Shinsengumi officer. These two characters and two different storylines were joined together in the film version to turn a 60-episode story into a 6-hour trilogy.

[@ChozenLike]

One of the best action movies.

[@papuce2]

I'm speechless... The story is so tense and amazing, I'm literally crying.

[@bItE202]

The best anime adaptation film I ever seen

[@sobreaver]

This movie is the best real translation of an anime I've seen in my life, and boy was the anime good as well ! Th is movie has most epic fight scenes !

[@gofishing9089]

And the manga, orriginal source, is also amazing. These Rutouni Kenshin movies are one of the best adaptation.

[@gwynedd-1]

After watching this I went to Dramanice and watched this movie plus 2 sequels, which were excellent. Thank you for the recommendation.

[@vincentjacobs6329]

FIRE series…one of the bests.

[@ahmadabid09]

the best movie i've ever seen✨

[@lightartis228]

i want to see realistic sword fighting movie where main hero wins a couple sword fights in a row cuzz he is master swordsman, but dies cuzz of infection xD, back in the day they had no antibiotics or knew how to disinfect wounds also winners of sword duels as well normally ended up with injuries, a guy might get away once in a while with no blood infection after getting cuts in a sword fight, but getting multiple ones in short period of time pretty much guarantees that you gonna die if not from fight itself then from blood infection later, which is also the main reason why samurais used katanas in actual fights only as a last resort options. the bows were actually their main weapon.

[@gwynedd-1]

Love this movie 1st of 3. Excellent.

[@hunspeaks]

I just saw this last night and wow. If the rest is even half as good I'd be happy. Absolutely brilliant especially the sword fighting scenes, man.

[@Joshua_N-A]

The Final/The Beginning already out. The Final adapts the final arc of the manga.

[@dylangriffn]

you'll be happy to know they each increase in quality

[@norrinRadd026]

One of the best series of its kind. Although personally, the second movie in the series is the best of the three. The second movie establishes the background necessary to understand the character arcs of the second and third movies.

[@dylangriffn]

Kyoto Inferno is my favorite, behind The Beginning of course

[@nomanulhaqkhan8135]

i have watched hundreds of movies tv shows anime but this quadriology will stay my favourite. the free styler samurai who lengthens the fight just cz he uses reverse blade.if otherwise,Easily overpowered

[@johnnyringo4446]

I had to pause. This is how to do live action. For books, games, and anything This is how you do it. end of story.

[@abirbinhabib7669]

maybe one of very few anime live action adaptations that was actually good

[@jeremiah9264]

Not a Battousai. THE Battousai! Also be kind of enough to mention the legendary Hiten Mitsurugi technique. 😀

[@Icemanic99]

Battou mean to draw the sword/blade sai mean lord or master. It literally means the master of sword drawing similar to the idea of 2 cowboy doing a quick draw. If you watch the anime it goes into quite a bit of detail on how he got that name.

[@kryptonite4974]

Sword master

[@Monkeykingvaj]

Karpu is not looking for revenge for the death of her father at the hands of kenshin. She's is seeking justice as the fake batousai is claiming to be using her father sword style to hurt people causing her to lose students at her shcool.

Regardless of historical accuracy, which is never truly reaved in the movies made to portray it. I thought the cinematography was great and the time period was captured. Two movies of this story on Netflix, is worth watching.

[@kryptonite4974]

What movie?

[@martinarreguy2984]

Two parts; beginning and finale "Rurouni Kenshin" It's a whole lot over the top, but fun and gratuitous violence. Grab some goodies they are long. I thought it to be a great movie, but again, that's just one man's opinion. Happy Holidays

[@danielfreer8487]

@@martinarreguy2984 there are 5 kenshin movies in total, the 3 not on netflix are in japanese with subtitles and are what made enough money to make the 4th and 5th and put them on netflix, easily the most successful live action anime adaptation franchise and it isn't even close. I imagine its so successful where most fail because a lot of it is grounded in history and is more realistic than most animes. probably makes it easier to turn it live action.

What's exactly the title of this movie

[@vinzjames]

Rourouni kenshin its on netflix theres 4 part its better if you start watching the 1st part first its like star wars the beginning of the saga came in last

[@lloydlayson6416]

S-H-O-G-U-N. Shogun not Shagun. Aritomo Yamagata is Lord of the Imperial Army and NOT a shinsengumi leader. So the repeated use of the term Shinsengumi police is WRONG. Hajime Saito is the only member of the shinsengumi in the police force and he is also NOT the leader of the whole force thus once again the term shinsengumi police is wrong. Kurogasa DIDN'T kill Kaoru's father. Her anger with jinei is caused by jinei using the Kamiya Kashin Ryu's name to murder people, hence kenshin's remark "Your father never wished his daughter's life to be wasted JUST TO DEFEND THE WAY OF THE SWORD".

[@a_singular_spud]

Shawgoon 😂

[@BasementPepperoni]

lol, I remember having to rewatch these movies every other day or week, because the subtitles were always being updated or new ones were coming out. I tell you what. This movie made Z E RO sense the first time I saw them, I was reading subtitles that had combinations of English Text that I never thought possible.

[@SanosukeSagara09]

The way some of these words are pronounced grates on me when it is not correct.

[@JetsxSkull]

Its not a Battousai its just Battousai!

[@gillwolfbat2191]

Nope, its THE Battousai

[@JetsxSkull]

@@gillwolfbat2191 What anime were you watching? Swear dub watchers lol! At least toonami's Samurai X had it right when they said Battousai the man slayer which literally translate to Hitokiri Battousai. "Battou" means to draw one's sword, and "sai" means master or lord.

[@ethomson0]

I can't watch this because you say "Shawgoon" instead of "Show gun"

[@NoSignal044]

This. I only made it 30 seconds.

[@WimleGo]

At 7:50 "After receiving information from Saito, Admiral Yamagata finally learns that Kenshin is a rebellious samurai who has slaughtered many people to reach a new era and bring peace to Japan." - THIS IS INCORRECT AGAIN! Yamagata Aritomo was the HEAD of the rebellion and was now Prime Minister. He knew Kenshin right away because he was the secret weapon of the Ishin-Shishi - the organization that Yamagata was leading during the Bakufu (Shogunate). In fact, it was weird to see Hajime Saitou working for him since the Ishin-Shishi and the Shinsengumi were enemies. I can't watch any more of this. This is blasphemy. I am stopping here.

[@Orcalein7367]

It's not "Shaw goon" it's "show gun"

no he did not kill her father. he killed himself when he found out that udo was using the kamiya style/kamiya dojo's name as a way to ruin its reputation. when he found out about that. he committed sepuku

he fought wonderfully without a sword, if you ever saw the scene with him and saito in the anime/manga, where him and saito fucked eachother up so bad that at one point they both ended up without swords in hand and just brawling. Kenshin was good at hand to hand combat he just prefers the sword. common misconception ppl who didnt watch all of the series have though.
