Hold onto your hats, folks, ’cause we’re diving deep into the world of Rurouni Kenshin – the brainchild of the creative wizard Nobuhiro Watsuki. Picture this: back in the day, from 1994 to 1999, this manga masterpiece danced its way through 28 volumes, spinning a tale that captured hearts and minds. It’s like a symphony, each chapter a note in the grand composition of storytelling.
But that’s not all, my friends! This manga’s magic was so potent that it busted its way onto the TV screens, a 95-episode animated spectacle that carried us along for the ride. Talk about a journey – the first 62 episodes took us through the first 18 volumes, like a whirlwind tour through the initial pages of awesomeness. Then, from episode 63 to 95, it’s a whole new ball game – original stories that keep us guessing.
And guess what? That’s not where the party ends! There’s a whole batch of OVA episodes, like little bonus nuggets of Kenshin goodness. But wait, there’s a new act in town! Fast forward to July 2023, and bam! Studio Liden Films drops a fresh adaptation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. A reimagining of the manga we know and love, promising new twists and turns in the tale.
Alright, hold your excitement – we’ve got details, peeps! Episode 8, the juicy nugget we’re all waiting for, is all set to grace our screens on Friday, August 25, 2023. Mark your calendars and set those alarms, ’cause this show’s got a routine – Fridays are its jam, and you better believe it’s a rhythm you won’t wanna miss. Episode 8, they’re calling it “Beauty in the Chase,” and it’s dropping right on the 25th, no ifs or buts.
Now, let’s get all technical and time-zone savvy, shall we? Around the globe, here’s the scoop on when to tune in:
If you’re rockin’ Japanese Standard Time, it’s a rendezvous at 12:55 AM on August 25, 2023.

We’re riding the wave of anticipation to see just how many chapters they’re gonna tweak. Time to play the waiting game, folks!
Oh, and where’s the party at? It’s all goin’ down at Fuji TV, the big player in Japanese television.
