That was a good read, you have convinced me to re-read the manga.

I really liked Shishio as a villain better than Enishi, though I don't think Shishio would have been a good final villain cause that would sorta end the series on a gloomy note, considering the whole thing about Shishio's ideals coming to fruition even after his death because the government pretty much went down the path that he intended to take it.

I also just really enjoyed the conclusion of the arc, the small exchange between Yakihiko and Kenshin on the whole might = right ideology, the entire thing with the government employing (most of) the very rebels it put down, Houji's despair with how the government wouldn't even dare give him a fair trial despite the magnitude of Shishio's rebellion, etc. etc.

I'd be super down for that, HxH 2011 and FMA: Brotherhood were great remakes.

Though I liked FMA: Brotherhood a bit less on a rewatch.

I wish I had a better look to the re-designed (re-imagined?) Rurouni Kenshin characters.

Seems like the return will be a brief one?

Contrary to what that other tweet is saying about not being shocked, this feels really out of the blue for me.

Rurouni Kenshin was really, really, really detatched from that sorta content, and the same goes for what I remember of Busou Renkin.

Wow, that's surprising. I can't believe this is the second time I heard of a mangaka getting arrested (the first was Toriko's mangaka).

I'm still amazed that the author was allowed to return.

It's weird cause the manga had some critical views towards the path that Japan went down on, as mentioned at the end of the Kyoto arc (about Shishio's vision being enacted by the government itself, in a blatant rejection of Kenshin's hopes for the future), which is something that never really occurred to me when I first read it in middle school but came to understand better. After all, one of the results of that path was Japan invading my country.

So I found it surprising to me that a mainstream shounen manga would be willing to go into a topic like that.

So there is a part of me that would like to distinguish between the author and the work, but it's still hard as hell to do so.
