Trust me, he was perfect for Kenshin. I've watched it twice, and both times I fell in love with Kenshin again and again. He brought out the weariness, the resignation, the oro, the gozaruyo, the Battousai, and the Himura Kenshin really well. Satou makes a perfect Kenshin. :D I want more Kenshin live actions now. xD
Okay m sorry, i dont want to compare but i just have to say it, i know theyre bestfriends and all but, takeru-kun is soooo much manlier than haruma!!! And just so brilliant, you'll never get bored watching him. He can be really goofy but he can also be that bad ass brooding character. *sigh* hes got that laidback, suave, cool, boyish movement all the time. Watching ruroKen, i always look forward to his scenes, i mean i looove the entire movie, all 3 of them, each scene each character yeah, but when it's not his scene, not that I get bored but u know, you find yourself wanting him to have another line or thing to do in his scene. Fave actor!!!
