Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan (2023) • Episode 24

[kurokoros]

kind of wild to me that Rurouni Kenshin is getting a reboot anime several years after the mangaka was charged and fined for possession of child pornography. like, it’s already ridiculous that his home was raided and police found 100+ CP DVDs (allegedly of young teenage girls) and he was only fined for ~1,500 yen (~$2000 USD), but to then be allowed to continue publishing your best selling manga after a ~6 month suspension and then likely make royalties over a brand new anime adaptation? absolutely ridiculous.

anyway don’t watch Rurouni Kenshin (2023) or read the Hokkaido Arc ✌️

I'm finally watching all Kenshin movies, I just ended the first one aaaand... I'm totally, completely, irretrievably obsessed already 🙂👍🏼

I know I'll need serious help in 3 or 4 days.

What are the top five pieces of media that rewired your brain?

ah jeez

uh

tales of symphonia: literally close to my entire psyche is stored in this game. if you've not played it, the remaster is about to come out on ps4 and the (not great but workable) pc port is out. look, i can't make you play tales of symphonia, but if you like jrpgs, the entire modern era of jrpgs pulls directly from symphonia, including an ENORMOUS amount of ff14. there is a straight line between tales of symphonia and emet-selch. tales of symphonia is as fundamental to my spirit as being jewish is. that's not an exaggeration.

trinity blood: yeah like half of my sexuality is from trinity blood (light novels, not manga or anime. the anime is garbage.) and im so mad it's not been relicensed for english release since tokyopop folded. uh. yeah. anyway.

dragonlance: i feel normal ways about dragonlance (lie). please read dragonlance. if you need a place to start, either "the time of the twins", "dragons of autumn twilight" or "the soulforge" (i recommend "time" first)

the dark tower: i will never reread these books, and not bc they're not good, but because they sure did uh. god. wow. they sure did fuck me up. "wizard and glass" did irreparable things to me. after i finished the series i didn't read anything for a full year because i was still so profoundly shocked by these books.

final fantasy xv: the worst game ive ever loved ardyn izunia is my gender next question.

Never stated? This isn't like Inu-Yasha or some other shonen where the guy's oblivious, or reacts to the female lead like a twelve year old pulling pigtails to get a girl's attention. This is Kenshin. The only reason Kaoru wasn't personally completely positive that Kenshin loved her was her own inexperience of being loved. Noooooooobody else had any doubts on the matter, after being around Kenshin for say, two days.

It was in everything Kenshin did. Everything he said. The absolutely visible and noticeable extra care, extra gentleness, extra gratitude. And if and when some bad guy thought "I'll get his attention", even they knew to go right for Kaoru, and every time they did anyone in view (including, in the end, the bad guy) learned that even in all that extra kindness/gentleness/gratitude, Kenshin was still holding back how much he loved Kaoru and it came out in the thorough ass kicking that got laid down for daring to lay a hand on her.

Even Megumi, as much as she wanted to believe otherwise, as much as she tried to turn Kenshin's head, knew without doubt that Kenshin loved Kaoru deeply; if anything, that Kaoru seemed not to clue in how much this was the case was a cause of great resentment for her.

Kenshin's love for Kaoru is how you do it. Especially given the age difference between them, Kenshin's way of displaying a deep and abiding love while still leaving Kaoru absolutely, unquestioningly free to not even notice for much of the run...I mean. Kenshin is the textbook of 'how you do it right'.

Kenshin may have never intentionally and directly stated his romantic feelings for Kaoru, but it exists overwhelmingly and overflowing in the deep well within his soul.
