"The Rurouni Kenshin franchise is a mega hit, both in Japan and Western territories. The manga series, brainchild of Nobuhiro Watsuki, has been a success during its run, spawning into several other forms of media. There is a successful anime series, several OVAs, video games and animated films. It also ventured into the live action realm back in 2012. Simply titled Rurouni Kenshin, the film brought the action and excitement of the story onto the big screen, with success at the Japanese box office. It did very well to commission a two part finale. The first, Kyoto Inferno, sees Himura Kenshin forced to defend the world he helped create by battling another assassin who wants to see it all burn to the ground, laying the foundations for strong beginning for the adaptation of the Kyoto Arc." - Attack On Gaming
