The 2019 assignment was to adapt Mugen no Juunin, a renowned manga from the early 1990s by Hiroaki Samura, for Liden Films. The initial anime adaptation was a terrible 2008 version of Bee Train, which was re-adapted in 2019 for Amazon Prime. The outcome was unsatisfactory, featuring a hurried pace, subpar animation, and low production quality. Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan by Nobuhiro Watsuki was recreated by Liden Films four years later. The original work was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from 1994 to 1999. Whether the 2023 version is superior to the original or not is a contentious question when comparing it to the 90s version.
