The Kenshin Musical Cast Looks Perfect In Costume

Well, except for Sanosuke. But, in all fairness, it might distract from the play if his actress went around bare-chested.

On Wednesday, all-female acting troupe Takarazuka Revue held an event to show off the cast of their upcoming Rurouni Kenshin musical. Better still, the cast was in full costume; and Japanese website Natalie was there to capture the event on film (be sure to check out their full gallery) .

So let's compare the Takarazuka cast with their anime counterparts.

  Probably because the musical/acting troupe that have decided to make the adaptation: Takarazuka Revue are all women.
