The final film is Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, which wraps things up.<\/p>\n<p>The action looks pretty solid; and while I don&#8217;t think all anime are meant to be converted to live action, I definitely see Rurouni as one that can. Plus, it is cool seeing many of the characters come to life.
