This anime is almost exactly like the wonderful manga of the same name. They kicked out all the unnecessary changes from the first anime. I can't wait to see more episodes; hopefully we'll get the whole story this time with no fillers.
I'm especially longing for the jinchuu arc with the remembrance arc in it. Seeing Tomoe in a close adaptation will be awesome. The OVA with her in it was okay, but wasn't really in the true spirit of the manga.
IMO, in the original anime Kenshin was too light and fluffy, and in the OVA he was too dark. His true character has elements of both.
I really hope people will give this a chance, whether or not they saw the original series.
