It does feel over-written especially if you already know the world of Kenshin. For a layman like me, I feel the director, Keishi Ohtomo told his story with great clarity, perhaps even too much clarity. To some extent I do see where the complaints come from but I really didn't mind the duration. I know a lot of the critics' complaints are centered on which aspects - too long, too many characters, too much info to digest, and the pacing is not furious enough. Is this a complete film by itself? No, but it works like a Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back kind of way. Thank goodness it will hit our cinemas on 2nd October. It feels like an elaborate setup for the ultimate Battle Royale and I am so hyped for the last part now. First of all, this is the first part of a two parter. So I really went into this like a blind Zatoichi samurai film lover and I just love it, all 139 minutes of it.
WATCH RUROUNI KENSHIN KYOTO INFERNO ENGLISH DUBBED SERIES
I have only watched an episode of the anime and decided it wasn't my thing, but I do know it is a cult series and a pop culture phenomenon.
My knowledge of the universe of Rurouni Kenshin is pathetic. Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno does that as well and I am glad to add that it ups the ante on the sword fights. The motivation for the fight and the consequence are always examined in keen details. How interesting can that be? But the Japanese puts more effort into the foreplay and the aftermath of the fights. Japanese sword fighting just CMI - it starts with a physical pose, one powerful swipe and the man is down and forever out. When I watch Japanese movies about samurais, ronins and ninjas, swordplay and kungfu are never the reason.
