This is what I've been waiting for: an RK anime that adapts the manga. No filler eps, no cloying little girls, no pink gi. There are a few extra things, such as extended flashbacks of Sanosuke's and Katsu's days in the Sekihoutai. Also, of Aoshi, Hannya, and the Oniwabanshuu. These flashbacks add depth to all the characters. So awesome to finally see the Hiruma Bros and the real plot against Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. I can't wait to see the Kyoto Arc and hopefully the Jinchuu Arc. The music is the one area this anime lacks. As riddled with fillers as it was, the old animehad a stellar soundtrack.
