    Rurouni Kenshin Part II: Kyoto Inferno Review — Civil War Spectacle with a Soul

    Kyoto Inferno widens the canvas into civil-war grandeur while keeping Kenshin’s vow at the center — Tatsuya Fujiwara’s Shishio is a villain for the ages.

    A scorched, propulsive middle chapter that raises the franchise to epic scale without losing its heart. Essential viewing.
