Ever since news of a live adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin came out, I have been constantly blogging about it. From movie announcements to casting news, to their visit to the Philippines and of course my thought and review on the movies.
Now that I've seen the last movie of the 3 part adaptation of an Anime I grew up with- it was actually hard for me to start writing whatever Movie Review or Movie Reflection I had on The Legend Ends.
For the first two movies, thoughts on the movie would immediately flood through me and I would have to grab a notebook or start working on a draft for for the blog post just to be able to take down the many "feelings" coursing through me.
After seeing the third movie though, I didn't feel the same, I thought maybe it was just because I was tired since we saw the film, right after a long day at work. It was well beyond my bedtime as I was watching the movie and so I resolved my lack of vigor to write as due to fatigue, but then the weekend came and went and still inspiration had not struck, another weekend came and went and still nothing.
When I started to ask myself why I wasn't spouting out paragraph after paragraph (as I had in previous movies) it suddenly dawned on me- it was over. All the anticipation and the excitement would cease to exist once the last "." In this blog post would be placed.
Looking back at the trilogy adaptation of the beloved manga and anime series Rurouni Kenshin, it really was a feat not yet attempted and now that the dust has settled and rabid fans have already seen all three movies, it is safe to say that the adaptation of the trilogy as a whole was really well done, so much so that the trilogy itself could very well stand on it's own.
