So did Pierrot.

Based DEEN and based Furuhashi.

The fights.
The moment when Kenshin is crawling in the snow.

Yeah, they absolutely did, DEEN was still top tier in the 90s, and Furuhashi is a safe bet.
The only thing that bothers me are those scenes that were made digitally. It seems like they could have easily made them in classic cels+analogue photography, I don't see the reason for that choice (it's not like they used some crazy CG or special effects).
It's still a masterpiece anyway.

Every studio has had at least one success. Even Gonzo

This was really sad, especially that ending sequence.

How can you remind me if I never forgot?

What an OST.

Maybe experimenting for the future? Digital is just so much better when perfected and can do everything classic cels can, so I'm guessing they were trying to improve since it was the likely future?

they made Sunabouzu i'm pretty sure

And Last Exile.

Except studio Sup Forumsnime.

Worst studio ever.

It's a possibility. The problem is that like most non movie digital cuts they were most certainly mastered at 480p (it was 1999 after all), and in the Blu Ray remaster it shows. All cuts made with traditional cel animation look crisp and outstanding, while the digital parts look very blurry. It's a shame really, especially in the final segments. The difference is like night and day.
This and many digital examples of the mid 2000 show what's often a big problem of anime production (but not exclusive to the medium), the clear lack of foresight.

Montecristo is one of Gonzos Masterpiece

>Montecristo
Did you watch some shitty localization or something?

>the clear lack of foresight.
I'd hesitate to call it a lack of foresight because I think it's more an issue of lacking the resources to futureproof your work. I'm sure the creative minds behind any given production would love to have their work endure for decades to come, but sometimes it's simply not practical when you're working with the kinds of narrow profit margins the anime industry is accustomed to. Future audiences down the line aren't where you'll be recouping your expenses and it's exceptionally rare that even a masterpiece becomes the kind of enduring success that's still making money that long down the road; it's not exactly something you can plan for.

Daily reminder that Kenshin ultimately accomplished nothing as the people he fought for ended up adopting Shishio's idea for Japan

Agreed.

If Kenshin hadn't helped to usher in Meija era Japan, then Japan would've never had the oppourtunity to get nuked by a foreign superpower and remade in their image. His vision for Japan came true in the end, it just took a few lifetimes.

I know you came from Sup Forums OP.

Stop trying to fit in, idiot.

I watched the anime as 4 OVAs, but I read somewhere that there were actually a movie version with director's cut, is it true? Is it better?

much better than the shitty manga

>His vision for Japan came true in the end

Yeah right...

True but is practically the same thing. You didnt miss anything new.

Thanks

But every version I find seem to be the 4 OVA one, what's the movie called? Can't seem to find any info on it

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal

came her just to post this

Oh yeah that's explained on Wikipedia, my bad.

Thanks.

you are right , but you were wrong with the picture

That's not Keit-ai.

How do I get into this series? Can I just watch Trust and Betrayal, or should I read the manga?

Read the manga, watch Trust & Betrayal afterwards.

For the full experience, watch the anime until the end of the Kyoto Arc, then watch Tsuiokuhen, then start reading the manga from where the anime leaves off.

For the express route, watch about 12 episodes of the anime before starting Tsuiokuhen. Take this if you don't think you have the patience to plow through 50 episodes worth of shounen complete with all the filler.

Kill yourself

Skip the main series, Tsuiokuhen is the only one worth watching anyway.

Read the manga.

Watch some episodes of the anime if you dig the 90s aesthetic -the endings are amazing too- and then watch this.

Or watch the anime until the Kyoto Arc, watch this, and then finish with the manga.

It's not as good without knowing Kenshin's character after the timeskip.
