Ten years have passed since the end of Bakumatsu, an era of war that saw the uprising of citizens against the Tokugawa shogunate. The revolutionaries wanted to create a time of peace, and a thriving country free from oppression. The new age of Meiji has come, but peace has not yet been achieved. Swords are banned but people are still murdered in the streets. Orphans of war veterans are left with nowhere to go, while the government seems content to just line their pockets with money.

Good, but not great. A shadow of the original series. The more mature take and fewer childish scenes is an improvement, but the show is inferior in most other ways. The pacing is off. The fight scenes aren't quite as impressive. The voice acting isn't as good. The narrator is mediocre, though the historical context provided is better. Nothing is bad, but I was hoping for more considering the sustained high quality of the original series and associated movies.

I actually think that this one might be better than the original 1996 version. The telling of the story is slightly different though and aimed at a more mature audience. For example [spoiler] after the defeat the Oniwaba gang Aoshi manages to flee and take the heads of the other members of the gang with him. You even see him holding the heads when Kenshin and the others find him. In the old version we're told that Aoshi disappeared along with the bodies of the other members. [/spoiler] The new version is arguably more realistic but keeps some of the charm of the old one. The fight scene are also more intense, the animations make it feel more lively and the blows more intent-full.

Almost at the end of Season 1 and I can say that I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

very distilled, simplistic version of the original. story pace is too fast, doesn't really connect you with the characters as compared to the original. action scenes don't really matter much as compared to the original. and who made the decision for Kenshin to speak like Yoda just to show that he isn't in Battosai mode?
