Rurouni Kenshin

I never thought that I could be so taken in by Japanese movies but I've been spending the last few days viewing the series of Rurouni Kenshin films at home. 

Netflix has made the first and fourth Rurouni Kenshin films -- Origins and The Final -- available for home viewing but I've also learnt that there are two more floating out there in cyberspace going by the names of Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends. 

And as a bonus, there'll be a fifth instalment, The Beginning, due for release at the end of this month. Looking forward to it. [LATEST: Netflix has started streaming The Beginning from today, 30 July 2021.]

Origins was released in 2012 and was followed by Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends in 2014. Both The Final and The Beginning are released in 2021, although their filming was completed two years ago. The Rurouni Kenshin films are adapted from a best-selling Japanese manga series of the same title by Nobuhiro Watsuki.
