Cinema Edition's chapter 5 is out (Japanese RAW found here http://raw-hunters.com/raw-scan/square-jump/ - http://rapidgator.net/file/47884668/Rurouni-Kenshin-Kinema-ban-06.zip.html) I like this chapter a lot - after movie premiere it seems Watsuki doesn't need to make it so fast-paced. I still...
Wow! Thanks! Well, I like the style but have little hope I'll like the story))))))))

This chapter was so utterly ridiculous I don't know what to think. For any Ruroken fan it's still a treat but story-wise and character-wise it's really weird. Saito's "Idiots" in the end felt really appropriate.
BTW it's almost August! Chapter Zero is soon gonna be published...

Oh, well, we just have different opinions on that one)))))) There is press-release about Chapter Zero and it's in Japanese so I think I'll better stop arguing about it because I could have made mistake in translation. All I know that it gave me strong impression that Chapter Zero won't be the...
No, it's not a prequel neither for original RK, nor for Cinema Edition. It's just another Watsuki's attempt at creating "first chapter" for Rurouni Kenshin franchise. As I said before, another reboot.
If we suppose that Cinema Edition's plot ends with defeat of all the "movie enemies" than in...
It supposed to be another "reboot" telling why Kenshin decided to stay at Kamiya-dojo. I thought that it will be short series but now that you've mentioned it, it must be one-shot.
Still, I hope that Cinema Edition will end this fall. It's fun to see the author playing with old ideas and old...
That's what is strange - why miss an opportunity to publish another chapter before the premiere of the movie in August? I mean, the break after just two chapters seems a little bit sudden for me. Of course, Watsuki must be pretty busy with all his projects right now...
I thought that Cinema...
Hiatus? That's strange...

New pictures of the poster:
It's actually one OVA that consists of two parts and the second part will be out this June. But the first part was preety bad))) It has its nice moments but 40 minutes is too little time for such a big story.
Oh, that's what's happened. At least I now know how it works) Thanks.
I like this new chapter a lot. Latest ruroken OVA which is remake of the Kyoto arc is so spectaculary bad that people were expecting the worse giving that new manga is basically made to promote the movie. And it turned out to...
Wow! Actual translation for the chapter was put on site 3 days ago? I'm going to kill somebody right now for my stupidity... I'm actually kind of angry that noone pointed it out in this thread. Would it kill ya, guys? To tell stupid rookie where to look for damn translation?
Nevertheless: the...
I doubt we have something to fear: both remakes will be short, more like variation on theme "man with no name comes to town" than full-blooded remakes. My policy is take it easy and enjoy good story with familiar faces.
For example, in the beginning of Cinema Edition Saito asks Kenshin if he’s...
Now, that's not correct. If you look at the chapter and movie trailers it's apparent that they're different. "Cinema Version" is advertised as the manga where Kenshin will fight his enemies from the movie. Manga itself won't have the same plot as the movie.
Here is the first 9 pages of the...
Could someone explain please does the publication of the new manga in Shonen Alpha mean that there will be no english Edited Manga? Does this magazine get "pirated" btw? *feeling that the end of all hope is near
Both Cinema Edition and Chapter Zero will be reboots in a sense that they'll start...
