I've been following the production of Studio Swan's adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin for almost a solid year so I find the news of a sequel extremely pleasing. The news was brokered by Spanish distributor Mediatres Studio at a film festival where a crowd was told that 'a sequel is being planned that's true to the manga.'The film has performed extremely well, earning $36.7M in Japan and $25M in limited international release. There are still quite a few markets left for the film to open in, including Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines. The film will be released on blu-ray/dvd on December 26th in Japan.Equally uplifting news is the announcement that the film will be having its US premiere atwhich runs from Dec. 14-16. The film will be released with english subtitles rather than voiceovers. No word yet on a wider release but keep your fingers crossed anime/manga faithful.134 minutesAugust 25, 2012 (Japan)UnknownYû Aoi, Teruyuki Kagawa and Takeru SatoKeishi ŌtomoNobuhiro Watsuki (manga, Kiyomi Fujii (screenplay)and Keishi Ohtomo (screenplay )Warner Bros., with actual film production done by Studio Swan
