The smash live action hit
Rurouni Kenshin - Part 1: Origins is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD (CLICK HERE to pick it up!) and to commemorate the occasion, FUNIMATION has released a behind the scenes interview with Takeru Sato (Kenshin Himura). Origins is the first live-action film of the forthcoming trilogy based upon the Rurouni Kenshin manga. They've provided high-quality, faithful live-action adaptations of the work and according to Takeru Sato, it was an honor being chosen for lead in the film.
In the wake of a brutal civil war, the legendary and feared killer Kenshin Himura throws down his sword and vows to turn his back on bloodshed. Choosing instead to live his life as a peaceful wanderer, Kenshin soon finds that the world around him is rapidly changing and not for the better. A sadistic drug lord, Kanryu, oppresses the people, poisoning them with opium and stealing what little they have left. When this greed-driven monster threatens the beautiful kendo instructor Kaoru, Kenshin can no longer stand idly by. Together with his street fighter comrade Sanosuke, Kenshin sets his sights on a showdown with Kanryu and his deadly henchmen. In a staggering action sequence for the ages, longtime fans will find out if Kenshin can survive his promise to face his own blade before spilling the blood of his enemies!
