The new OVA... sort've

Just saw part 1 of Shin Kyoto Hen. I really love the animation and the character designs. The plot seems a little rushed but I guess you can't fit the whole Kyoto arc into two ~40 minute parts. I like how Usui challenged Shishio and died rather than Saito killing him, just because it can show their power difference and you get a cool line from Shishio. The scene with Shishio and Yumi (if you've seen it you know which one I'm talking about) was pretty unexpected, but I have no complaints because it was heavily implied in the original RK anyway. Planning to watch part 2 today hopefully. --Coolquiorra (talk) 21:44, September 30, 2012 (UTC)
