We have a lot of fans for this series but weird no one opened a thread about it. So here I am (no fan) opening it (I have to do everything myself in this place) :p

Watching the OVA , doesnt serve it right. Cause its a whole different story by then. This series is the ultimately most famous samurai anime series every so far. Batoosi thats his nickname.. Kenshin that is.

Any anime fan who likes swords or samurai stories, would definitely enjoy this series to the most.

I only saw few eps of it, but even so that was enough to make me aware of how outstanding it is.

I heard Kenshin does it all, I mean he is the hero and he does everything and he is given all credit.. so I don't anime such as that.. Same as Siant Sieya, he does it all as if the rest are not there..

How true is what I heard?

hmmm its a great anime serie but the ova was diffrent kenshin deservs all the credit he gets and there are some few other chars in the serie that also kenshin depends on....

he was a manslayer before but he gave it up to protect other ppl to make up for the ppl he killed .....

its an great anime exept for one ova that ruined my life:/ by ending the whole thing in that way was evil and everthing :(

hes killer name was Hitokiri Battousai
hes swordman name was Rurouni Kenshin
hes real name i wont say because you need to watch the anime for that....

as DeSerTDesTroYeR said the ova is a diffrent thing it goes away to far from the serie wich is 95 eps ..... one ova is really diffrent even drawn in a diffrent way ... in a way that i didnt like...... :rolleyes:

Hehe definitely! Ruruoni Kenshin is one of the best animes I've watched!
I liked the series more than the OVA. The OVA was dark and serious (unlike the series which had quite a bit of humor in it)... And the ending!! aw (ee Stop! Must refrain from spoiling... :hehe: )
Although I didn't like the ending of the series either come to think of it.
Hehe but most animes end horribly, don't you think? heh, maybe you don't :mmhmm: but from my personal experience, they sure do...

they stopped following the manga after the conclusion with the fight with that fire guy (the one who replaced kenshin as the batosai)
