Sadly we need 4 such seasons plus 15 episodes to fully adapt all the manga.

Nah, Three 26 episode seasons can adapt it.

3 seasons is more than enough. There was enough filler in the original that 75 episodes will cover everything and maybe even an epilogue OVA where it shows Yahiko getting with the cafe worker.

The last arc especially is a lot of fighting which can be adapted quickly

Let’s be transparent here the manga was 28 volumes and 255 chapters long and not all 255 of those chapters were meaningful they can easily square that away in less time.

Everything points to this season ending with Kenshin going to Kyoto, so I think 48 episodes are good enough to adapt Kyoto and Jinchu

Based on the key visual, they're going to adapt the Raijuta arc and that part about Sanosuke's terrorist friend. I think that there would be no problem if they had omitted these chapters in order to reach Kyoto arc sooner, but I'm glad that they decided to adapt those chapters anyway.

New OP and ED sound like Bangers.

Tsubame! I guess they couldn't skip Raijuta.

I’m guessing at this point this is not getting a dub?

^It is, it's already listed on the SAG-AFTRA database so that confirms it.

Oh thank you! Just searched. Being dubbed by “unforeseen productions”. Never heard of them

Unforseen is Bang Zoom so it's the usual spot for Aniplex dubs.

Well I’m hopeful we will get a great dub since we may get some union actors. I’m dying to know who plays who!!!

I think you forget in Kyoto and the final arc, just how many chapters are dedicated to fight scenes that can be adapted 3-4 chapters per one episode easily. The OG anime had a lot of fluff and this will be more streamlined.

Also bravo ANN, a tame Rurouni Kenshin forum in 2023.
