Premieres October 2024. The new PV is here. Check out the Anime Corner article for additional information. Synopsis for the source manga from AniList:

One hundred and forty years ago in Kyoto, with the coming of the American "Black Ships," there arose a warrior who, felling men with his bloodstained blade, gained the name Hitokiri, manslayer! His killer blade helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu era and slashed open the progressive age known as Meiji. Then he vanished, and with the flow of years, became legend.

Does this still benefit the CP consuming original creator

@nieminen @wjs018 Well considering they still get directly supported by the project... Yes.

I guess that explains why season 1 was so half-assed

What's this? Remake? I loved the live actions.

They are remaking the anime. The first season aired last year and took the story up until Kenshin is ready to depart to Kyoto to start the Shishio arc. The second season starts airing in October.

loved the live actions

I believe this is the best way to consume the Kenshin story. The movies are truly excellent and help streamline the story a lot. These movies have probably the best live-action swordfighting in any movie(s) I have ever seen.
