The previous TV series that was produced was for the prequel series so it certainly makes sense with the sequel manga still ongoing to delve more into that since Nanae Chrono has kept on chugging at this since 2002. The original manga series was serialized in Monthly Shonen Gangan between 1999 and 2001, producing five volumes, while the current series kicked off in Monthly Comic Blade in 2001 and has produced eight volumes so far with the eighth out today revealing this new adaptation.
ADV Films originally dubbed and released the first TV series and Funimation picked up the distribution rights to it after ADV Films shuttered their doors. Check out the trailer below for that series.
Plot concept: Three months have passed since the Ikedaya Incident that crushed the anti-shogunate rebellion–and propelled the Shinsengumi, Kyoto’s now-official police, into history as Kyoto’s premium peacekeeping force. But there is no rest for the peaceful: An unexpected threat to the Shinsengumi arises, and it’s going to take more than mere swords to defeat this new terror on the horizon.
