Anyways recommended to all anime fans, and to non-anime fans who are not familiar with anime yet, forget Dragon Ball or Pokemon, watch this.The Rurouni Kenshin anime is the adaptation of the manga series with the same name by Nobuhiro Watsuki. But wait, a few characters portrayed or based on actual people, like Saitou Hajime and Aritomo Yamagata, oh my, I wonder if they were really like that in real life, I mean their personalities as seen here. The sword fighting is also cool, and unforgettable. The soundtracks are also great, I love the one by L~Arc~Ciel in the latter episodes. ![]() Every episode seems to give each character some background and info and their dark secrets. A great cast with very dark and dramatic backgrounds filled with tragedies. Later more characters appear, Yahiko, and then Sanosuke, then Megumi. But finds him to be a sweet gentle man who is kind towards children, who wants to restore peace, and end his days as a slasher. It starts out as Kenshin Himura a wanderer in the Meiji era, ends with a kendo teacher Kaoru Kamiya, and he starts living with her, and eventually she finds out this is no ordinary traveler, this is Battousai, the slasher! An infamous samurai who killed a lot of people in his past. This is one of the most memorable and most recognizable anime I know, with a cast of great characters and story lines and funny sub-plots, it's everything you'd want to see in an anime. ![]()
