I’m hype for the new Rurouni Kenshin reboot. Starting from the beginning, and giving it the adaptation that it deserves. Well, maybe not that it deserves, depending on who you ask. Like, does a story written by a pedophile really deserves a reboot?

I saw this tweet and it kind of ticked me off. It depends on who you are and who you ask. For me personally, someone and their work are two different things. Yeah sure, the mangaka might was convicted of possessing child porn. But our boy Kenshin never touched a child before. We shouldn’t be punishing him.

The face of a man who hate pedophiles.

But seriously, not supporting this anime hurts the creators of the anime more than the mangaka. And either way, it’s just stupid to hate the people who just want to watch the anime. Like, how do you know the people watching the reboot even know about the artist's past. Hell, some anime watchers don’t even know that Rurouni Kenshin is based on a manga. For all we know, they might think the movie came first and the movie got an anime adaptation. The series doesn't support or focus on his child porn collecting habit, so why connect the two. Let’s just enjoy the anime when it comes out. The same way we should enjoy this amazing trailer.



Rurouni Kenshin is looking too great not to watch, and as someone who always wanted to watch Rurouni Kenshin but couldn’t really vibe with the old anime look, I’m very excited for this reboot. You think the threat of some Twitter typier blocking me is going to stop me from watching a real life lolicon creator’s series?

Do you think blocking people who support the Rurouni Kenshin reboot is overreacting? Are you going to watch the Rurouni Kenshin reboot? What did you think of the trailer? Tell us in the comments.
