Let’s take a break from all the OVA controversy and contemplate this gif I just made for a friend:


Here goes some of my thoughts on the 2nd episode of the OVA. It’s not spoiler free, so click below to read more.
Please do because I want/need your opinion on something!

The Brazilian publisher JBC decided to launch the special edition of mangas with the original japanese title Rurouni Kenshin, instead of the first collection that was named Samurai X, as well as the anime that was on some TV channels at the time.
There has been taken rigorous care with the translation this time. The fans and readers made several requests, so the text is being readen and re-readen so that some words can be translated properly.
The new collection will be available this year!
This weekend Rurouni Kenshin movie got 6,9 million dollars (1) (thanks toOlga Torres!). Is it good news or bad? Let’s see:
