Rurouni Kenshin: New Kyoto Arc is a 2011-2012 two-part OVA featuring modernized, intense animation that offers a condensed, alternative retelling of the classic Kyoto arc focused on Misao Makimachi. This reimagining centers on Kenshin's battle against Makoto Shishio and his forces to save the Meiji government, with significantly altered pacing and scenes compared to the original story. While praising its technical aspects, critics and fans often find the 90-minute format too rushed, losing the emotional depth of the original, according to reviews on Spotlight Report and IndieWire .
