Keishi Ōtomo’s live-action adaptation of Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin hit cinemas in Japan last summer, and is now finally about to arrive on our screens here in the UK.
Takeru Satō (Kamen Rider Den-o) stars as the eponymous lead, Himura Kenshin, with Emi Takei (Ai to Makoto) starring opposite as Kamiya Kaoru.

One of my personal favourite manga/anime
The original manga told the story of a wanderer ‘Kenshin’ who wanders Japan offering protection and aid to those in need as atonement for the murders he once committed as an assassin.
The film is being produced and distributed by Warner Bros.

Here are some new stills that do nothing to dissuade the notion created from that initial trailer that Rurouni Kenshin will stop nothing short of epic. That's Battousai the Manslayer vs. Jinei Udo for those of you unfamiliar with the anime/manga.
