Keishi Otomo's much anticipated live action adaptation of Nobuhiro Watsuki's samurai manga RUROUNI KENSHIN (SAMURAI X) will be opening on Japanese screens on August 25. The teaser that was previously released looked solid, and the Japanese Morning TV program ZIP! has just screened an exclusive new trailer.
Takeru Satoh (KAMEN RIDER DEN-O, BECK) will star as Himura Kenshin, and Emi Takei will take on the role of the heroine Kaoru Kamiya. Supporting cast include Yu Aoi (HULA GIRLS, ABOUT HER BROTHER), Munetaka Aoki (THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME) and Taketo Tanaka.
The new trailer looks pretty awesome. Check it out below - trailer begins at 0:45.
