[chapter 63]
	Hi, it's Watsuki, it's been a long time. As I don't have my usual pen within my arm's
reach, I'll use a thinner point pen. Putting this matter aside, "Rurouni Kenshin" will become
an anime. There are many people against it ( I understant their feelings. I myself, when I 
was a child, was disappointed two or three times due to the blatant lack of quality, both in
design and in story, in animes of the mangas I liked ), but for a "Anime-ish design" manga
artist like I am, to have my work become an anime is a dream, so...
	I'm a bit worried since they decided to animate Ruroken a bit on time, and the schedule
isn't helping at all, but nevertheless I ask for a support with a broad heart and eyes reaching
for the future.

[chapter 65]
	Still the talk about the anime. It's obvious to the people involved either in animes or
in mangas, but I am not much involved in making the anime (my schedule doesn't afford such 
tasks). Not only that, the difference of media between the anime and the manga makes it 
impossible to make them equal. But the manga is interesting in a certain way and the anime is
also, although in a other way. So if they are both interesting, wouldn't it be OK, after all?
As there's not much point in babbling about it, I TRUST THE PRIDE AND SOUL OF THE PROFESSIONALS
and I eagerly await the anime. (it looks like a bit confusing, but to put things in a nutshell,
I agree with animating Ruroken)
	And at last, a bit of talk about games. Namely, the "Samurai Spirits Zankurou Musouken".
I haven't played it yet, but that "Hisame Sekimaru" is... If the people from S@K based 
themselves on Ruroken, not because of a offensive point of view or a malicious one, but rather
because of good intentions and/or a professional point of view, I'd be very happy. I felt a 
bit relieved, since I was in a blue mood reading a very nasty and foul letter concerning Misao.
I wonder what would the sender of such letter think when he saw Hisame... I laughed a bit when
I thought about that. Nasty me. So let's meet again in the next volume.
