るろうに剣心の明治剣客浪漫譚は面白いだぞ

[Katsuo]

The Wikipedia Joyo kanji page lists older forms alongside present ones.

Using a copulative after an i-adj in plain form is incorrect (and redundant). Just a heads up. I have noticed a number of characters in some videogames doing it, but they always speak in heavy inaka dialects so I'm assuming it's allowed in Tochigi-ben or something.

In other words,
るろうに剣心の明治剣客浪漫譚は面白いぞ
the だ is unnecessary

Rather than unnecessary, it is ungrammatical.

I'll stick with this then: るろうに剣心の明治剣客浪漫譚は面白い

Yea it is a dialect. I noticed this because the way they are talking isn't the regular form of speech. Makes sense because the time frame is from the 明治 era.

So I guess that's a quote from Rurouni Kenshin then?

yup. Quoted from the title of the story.
