Samurai X, or Rurouni Kenshin, is a very popular anime and quite an old one, dating all the way back to 1996. The story, the hype, the following, it was all a really big deal. This anime is based on the popular manga series “Rurouni Kenshin” by Nobuhiro Watsuki. Since its release, the anime has garnered a substantial following, even capturing the attention of those not familiar with its origins.
When AT-X dropped the bomb that the long-awaited return of Rurouni Kenshin in 2023 was happening, that piece of news literally made everyone very happy as they get to see Kenshin go on another big adventure.

How To Watch Rurouni Kenshin 2023 Episodes?
Catch the latest adventures of Rurouni Kenshin via AT-X Japan on that country’s local television at the times and dates described above. If you live outside Japan, you still have a way to watch this anime online.
Crunchyroll
And that option is the popular streaming platform Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll is a worldwide available anime and manga streaming platform that distributes the best Japanese animation and manga content at affordable prices and multiple subscription plans starting from $5,99 a month.
With a basic subscription to Crunchyroll, you can enjoy Rurouni Kenshin 2023 and many other animes from any device, ad-free, on your own time.
One of the advantages to having Crunchyroll is that they simulcast the series when they are broadcast in Japan. Also, Crunchyroll has a great roster of translators and dubbers who are familiar with the language. So if your Japanese is rusty or you have no knowledge of it all, you can enjoy this series in your language with top-quality subtitling and dubbing.
Netflix
Last, but not least, it’s worth informing you that Netflix also distributes Kenshin 2023. Netflix is available worldwide on every device and operative system, and starting from $9.99 a month, you get unlimited, ad-free access to its vast catalog of series, documentaries, animated series, and shows.
Netflix offers excellent subtitles and dubbing, but they don’t simulcast the episodes like Crunchyroll does, and these episodes take a little longer to land on that platform. So, if Crunchyroll isn’t an option for you, Netflix is a very trusty alternative to enjoy the latest adventures of Kenshin Himura.
