Pro: Jinchu Arc???

Con: The author wants to diddle your kids.

Joke's on him, I don't have any!

Why?

The franchise has an entire film series of samurai movies that are, if you don't count Alita (and even there it's a close one) the best live-action adaptations of a manga to date (Edge of Tomorrow is disqualified by being a light novel first and changing a lot of details, even if they ultimately worked really well thanks to Tom Cruise acting his ass off as per usual).  And the new arc that was supposed to get made won't on account of child porn (although from what I understand, he was able to avoid jail time and paid a fine that even local newspapers were shocked by how small it was).   I'm sorry, but I can't support this shit and condemn Crunchyroll for hiring a sex pest like Warren Ellis.  Fuck em both.

This seems kind of pointless.

The main thing I remember about RK is that Kenshin's voice is the only good one in the English dub.

And the voices for most of the characters are pretty good in Japanese, except Kenshin's is so embarrassingly terrible that it accounts for an entire cast worth of bad voice acting.

The new arc was made and is still ongoing, from what I understand.

The Media Blasters dub was fine.

I remember stumbling into the Sony dub once by accident. That one... *shudders*

I see.

So he had less than zero punishment.  That’s…depressing.

Never occurred to me there were 2 dubs.

In this season, the police swordsmen aggressively pursue Kenshin for possessing heinous woodblock prints of children.

Yep.

Best/worst part is they both cast the same VA for Kenshin (Richard Cansino).
