Better than expected

Already watched the anime Samurai X and therefore was excited to see the movie. At first, I was doubtful whether a live-action adaptation from such a popular manga can live up to its high expectation since most like-minded movie like this always ends up as a rip-off. Most of the cast are excellent. Takeru Sato is excellent as Kenshin, his trademark red-haired and long ponytail, curvaceous lips, wide eyes, his outfit and even the way he runs, jumps and draws his sword. The action sequence is also top-notch. The sword-fights choreography is fast and furious...Best Japanese live-action adaptation I've ever seen so far.
