Rurouni Kenshin will have a new anime!!

This classic anime, also known as Samurai X, has an anime project in production, according to the June issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine. More information will be provided in future issues of Jump Square.

Nobuhiro Watsuki's original 1994-1999 samurai manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump inspired a television anime series that is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Viz Media published the manga in North America, and Media Blasters' AnimeWorks label released the television anime. ADV Films released the two OVA projects and the film under the licenser's prescribed title Samurai X.

It's highly likely that there could be a series of OVAS, but who knows?

Hakuōki Hekketsu-roku will get its OVA series

According to the official website of this game adapted into a historical romance anime, the 5 OVAS dedicated to each protagonist will premiere on summer of this year.

So, if you wanted to see more bishonen, this is it!

The series will feature volumes devoted to the characters Toshizō Hijikata, Sōji Okita, Hajime Saitō, Sanosuke Harada, and Heisuke Tōdō, although the volume order has not been decided yet.

Sanosuke Harada

Another interpretation of Hajime Saito?

Toshizo Hijikata

Heisuke Todo

Note that these characters are based off their historic counterparts, and also have been featured in other interpretations and series such as Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X).

Now you see why such names as Hajime Saito and Sanosuke Harada sounded familiar, eh? ;-)
