Well now it's up to the licensors, for Bleach it's gonna be Viz, they've already posted a trailer. As for Kenshin it may go to FuniRoll due to it being in the Sony family with AoA, just my assumption though

If you look at the YouTube comments on the Aniplex trailer, no one is commenting on the author's CP issue. Seems like that fact did not enter the public consciousness, or that they forgot about it.

Or it's just become too dull and boring to even mention the fact that Watsuki got jailed once for keeping ol' CP VHS - what was considered as only minor crime by the japanese laws (and that is listed as a crime only recently by that time) every single discussion when it's about the news about Kenshin comes into western media.

Basically - Japanese people stopped care about that basically at the sane time when he even got out of the court, and looking by the sales of Hokkaido Arc - he still revelant author as ever.

And by the news: I more concern about LIDEN doing that, cause if it's full remake - they are not the studio suited for the job and most likely bust it even harder than Berserk was.

If it's just Jinchuu arc, that is 50/50 and probably still not meet the soul of old series. Though if Bleach can meet it's end after all this years, why Kenshin cannot... oh, right, Hokkaido Arc is still going.

Aren't LIDEN FILMS also doing Tokyo Revengers S2? And given that the new Ruroni Kenshin anime is being made by Aniplex, I bet that the show will made in dire conditions (just like what has happened to 86, Magia Record, WEP, TPN S2 and what is currently happening on the upcoming Tokyo 24th Ward anime).

But even though Kenshin is supposedly big in Japan and Western white fans keep using "cultural differences" as their argument to defend Watsuki, I find it noteworthy they dumped the Kenshin anime on a lesser studio like Liden Films and not a bigger studio like MAPPA or even the original company, Studio Deen.

Loading MAPPA even more than what was hung on them already with their workload production is even bigger crime against the actual people, let the people rest!

Plus Deen is actually not the best choice either, and actually even worse than LIDEN when it comes to modern production - Orphen is quite bad, and 7DS last season is notoriously known for it's bottom-hitting animation (which they are outsourced to other studio outside of Japan).

LIDEN in other way got the major hit recently with the Tokyo Revengers, so that's probably the reason why they are chosen.

MAPPA is just an example like how they're doing Chainsaw Man next year. The point you're missing is there's tons of other bigger anime studios they could have picked if they had actual faith in this new Kenshin anime being a big success and they went with the studio that made Terra Formers and Berserk 2016.
