**\[SHOW INFO\]** A new Rurouni Kenshin project was announced in April 2011's Jump SQ. Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi, Studio Deen, and the original cast will be returning after nine years (except Hirotaka Suzuoki who died in 2006; Saitō Hajime will now be voiced by Ken Narita). The project was split into two parts and is a remake of the second arc, the Kyoto arc, with some changes. Part I titled Rurouni Kenshin: New Kyoto Arc: The Cage of Flames (Zenpen Homura no Ori?), which was selected from a fan suggestion, ran at Tokyo's Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro theater and Osaka's Cine-Libre Umeda theater for one week only. Part II, Rurouni Kenshin: New Kyoto Arc: The Chirps of Light (光の囀（ヒカリのサエズリ） Hikari no Saezuri), was released on June 23, 2012 and ran for three weeks in ten theaters. Aniplex of America announced at Otakon 2011 that they were in "negotiations" for the English language rights to the films. Aniplex released part I on DVD and Blu-ray on March 21, 2012 in Japan, while Part II was released on August 22, 2012. In 2013, North American licensor Sentai Filmworks released both films together on DVD and Blu-ray, labeling them as OVAs. **\[TECHNICAL DETAILS\]** File Container: MKV Video Format: h.264/Mpeg4 (10-bit) Video Resolution: 1920x1080 Audio Type: English 6 Channel Surround, Japanese 6 Channel Surround Audio Format: AAC Subtitle Language: English Subtitle Format: ASS **\[SCREENSHOTS\]** [](http://postimage.org/) [](http://postimage.org/) [](http://postimage.org/) [](http://postimage.org/) [](http://postimage.org/)
