The original anime is by far superior to this remake. The art style is much better, the ost from the original anime is perfection. The remake combat is more fluid but it doesn't make it better. The 90s animes are simply unmatched.
I dislike the voice actor for Kenshin in this one his voice sounds funny. Missed the old voice actor of Kenshin who I think suits Himura Kenshin better.
The fighting scenes artwork is more colorful and HD but lacks the dramatic timing and grittiness of the originals. And the music has no substance. The original anime fights and music were like synced. Climax of the song when it was the climax of the fight, etc
I feel like a lot of people are very harsh to this adaptation. Perhaps unfairly. It looks really good. And it stays very true to the manga. Nothing about it is really unacceptable. It's just not as good as the old 90s classic, but that doesn't make it bad by any stretch. There has to be some middle ground between Actual Masterpiece of 90s Anime and This Show is A Dumpster Fire and A Betrayal Of The Fans. I give the remake a solid B-, worth watching if you hadn't seen it before but by no means a must-watch. And who knows? It might get some people into a good series who never grew up with the original. That alone makes it okay by me.
@@Akashi-ml9dn the new audience would be better served by watching the original show. Worse is subjective? Sure some people might find the new series more enjoyable. Some people also might find drunkenly wading through traffic enjoyable. They’re both dumb.
@@MadDragonify better served or not would not drive them to watch the show. My friend didn't want to watch anything from 2000 and below because the artstyle is old he said. Just because something hold up till these days doesn't mean it can attract viewers.
@@Akashi-ml9dn your friend is an idiot That’s the equivalent of “I won’t listen to any music before 1900 because those classical musicians didn’t know what they were doing”
After watching the animes that are airing these days i was feeling so hyped for this remake, but this feels souless. the life action is the real remake after wrecking berserk... i dont know why i expected more
0:49 these are supposed to be ordinary humans but here they are casually entering the shadow dimension in the middle of a sword fight. Man I love Kenshin the wanderer
Man i seen people get cut down to the bone when mishandling swords. But kenshin just grabs the edge, bleeds a bit, and walks away with full function instead of losing fingers or cutting tendons
i think the old one is much better, there is more than artstyle, i just compared the videos, although the old art style was way exaggerated but the mood, the tension was there but this battle feels empty. just watching some technical work. thats all...
Definitely great action although the appearance seems less gritty for the moment and the atmosphere seems too bright to match the edge each one has out against each other. Awesome scene and Kenshin showing his skills to grow even greater in his sword mastery
Soy fan de la versión de los 90...pero está nueva versión (mejor adaptada al manga) me gusta más. Kenshin es más serio y su personalidad "más oscura". No hay relleno con situaciones graciosas que hacen que se pierda la emoción de la trama. Y en cuanto a las peleas, me gustan mucho más éstas que las de la serie de los 90
Yo creo que precisamente el contraste comedia/drama hacía que el drama fuera mucho más fuerte. La animación aquí es más fluida, si, pero el arte de la de los 90 tenía mucha personalidad en comparación. Ambas son buenas series, pero la antigua tenía mucho más corazón. Lo bueno de esta es que adapta el manga y para los que no lo leyeron podrán ver la historia original como estaba destinada a ser.
For those who think that the remake is not good, and the 90´s anime was better, this remake was not made for the 90's folks but for the new generations.
The remake has an epic musical theme, but it is literally ONE for all the fight scenes. And when it is repeated over and over again, it becomes sickening. Old anime had a huge variety of awesome theme songs.
many younger people refuse to watch old anime. this is great for the anime overall. we already watched the original. so, idk about you but i'm good and enjoy rewatching this too
To everyone complaining shut up, you have NO idea how many incredible series i WISH would be remade like this, you entitled babies never read the original source material and forget that Watsuki flat out hates the original adaptation FFS
*sigh* Sadly, the updated art style does not make up for all the other deficiencies. The tension, the unpredictability, the anticipation, all of it is gone. Now it feels like it wants to get through the events as soon as possible, instead of feeling like it cares how it presents itself.
Same here. He already knows the Double Kodachi style at this point because he was taught by the previous Okashira. So him using one Kodachi seems to be a handicap. In universe, its explained that he switches to the style later after re training himself for six months. How he acquired the longer sheath and the concealed second (and slightly shorter) blade is never really touched upon. But based on Okina's reaction during their fight, he does know that Aoshi is an expert at both the one and two handed Kodachi styles plus kempo.
@@ASteelWheel -- Thanks. I remembers in the original anime, and manga, Aoshi knew a Double Kodachi style, but couldn't remember if there was a gap for him to switch styles.
@@2005zhane the gap was just 6 months I think? I mean he kind of comes down of the mountain he was hiding in just as the government has Saito track and test Kenshin. In-universe, its explained that this took place about half a year after Kenshin and his friends stormed Kanryu's mansion. Saito gives him the details and it takes them half a day to finish talking and he unsuccessfully convinces Aoshi to go to Kyoto. Sojiro was listening in and uses what he learns to bait Aoshi by having the 4 giant goons of Shishio attack Aoshi and he somewhat successfully gets Aoshi to go to Kyoto.
It seems I'm not alone, the animation is better, but the sound design is lacking. Hot take but anime osts should stop focusing on making long extensive suits for characters, and instead make short bite sized music loops that can be listened to within a minute, 2 minutes at most. However I do understand why some anime can't do that, because anime makes most of its money via merchandise, DVD/Blu Ray sales second.
The 90s series is a million times better. It's a shame to see how a low-production anime has people who like it... they practically don't know about art.
