It Begins! Watch The First Trailer For Funimation's RUROUNI KENSHIN PART ONE: ORIGINS
It’s high time that America get a taste of the big screen action with Funimation Films’s latest release of Otomo Keishi’s live-action Rurouni Kenshin trilogy. All three films are now up for grabs with tickets soon to be available between now and October, and first up is the retitling of Otomo’s 2012 hit, Rurouni Kenshin Part One: Origins.
In the wake of a brutal civil war, the legendary and feared killer Kenshin Himura throws down his sword and vows to turn his back on bloodshed. Choosing instead to live his life as a peaceful wanderer, Kenshin soon finds that the world around him is rapidly changing—and not for the better. A sadistic drug lord, Kanryu, oppresses the people, poisoning them with opium and stealing what little they have left. When this greed-driven monster threatens the beautiful kendo instructor Kaoru, Kenshin can no longer stand idly by. Together with his street fighter comrade Sanosuke, Kenshin sets his sights on a showdown with Kanryu and his deadly henchmen. In a staggering action sequence for the ages, longtime fans will find out if Kenshin can survive his promise to face his own blade—before spilling the blood of his enemies!
