    Rurouni Kenshin: The Final Review — Revenge, Brotherhood, and Brutal Grace

    Mackenyu’s Enishi elevates a ferocious, emotionally raw finale — Otomo’s action craft remains the gold standard of Japanese live-action spectacle.

    A bruising, beautifully staged revenge saga that honors Kenshin’s scars. Mackenyu steals scenes; Satoh holds the soul.
