The third trailer for the upcoming Rurouni Kenshin anime remake was unveiled at the AnimeJapan 2023 event.
In addition, it was also announced that Yuma Uchida (Jujutsu Kaisen, Ultraman Taiga) and Saori Onishi (Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma) will join the anime's cast as Shinomori Aoshi and Takani Megumi respectively.

The series will star Soma Saito (Moriarty the Patriot) as Kenshin Himura, Rie Takahashi (Fate/Grand Order) as Kaoru Kamiya, Taku Yashiro (Tiger Mask W) as Sanosuke Sagara, and Makoto Koichi (I'm standing on 1,000,000 lives.) as Yahiko Myojin.
Lastly, it was reported that LINDEN FILMS (Initial D Legend 1, Berserk) will animate the new series. In addition, Hideyo Yamamoto (Cells at Work! Code Black) will direct the anime with scripts written by Hideyuki Kurata (Read or Die). Terumi Nishii (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable) will serve as character designer, and Yu Takami (Library Wars) will compose the show's music.
The new Rurouni Kenshin anime adaptation is set to premiere this July on Fuji TV's Noitamina block. The new trailer confirmed that the anime will adapt at least the Tokyo Arc, which covers chapters 1-47 of the manga and episodes 1-24 of the 90s anime.
