What? Watsuki of all people? I have nearly all the Rurouni Kenshin books, sans the last 2 volumes. Not only that, but I love his work. How could this happen? I'm so ashamed...
I'm also ashamed as well. While I don't have manga/anime, I love the atmosphere, artwork and the designs of the characters. Watsuki was also a huge Samurai Shodown fan like myself and helped designed the characters for 5 like Yokittenora (damn filter, again!) Tokugawa, who is my 2nd favorite character in design and gameplay behind Nakoruru.
One of my friends was also a huge fan of Kenshin. Showing him and his friends the article after I read it, we were all disappointed.
