Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

galloeth This show is awesome there is a bit of blood and gore

azuros Need I say that after watching Samurai X Trust and Betrayal I was compelled to buy the series. It's completely the opposite of Trust and Betrayal and when it tries to get serious it's only ever cliché and generic. There's nothing I hate more than extensive talking during what's supposed to be a fight scene! (or an epic battle) And that's the formula for almost every single fight scene.Antagonist: Check out my technique. It's invincible, I'll destroy you etc..People on the sideline: He's using the (insert technique name) that can only be countered by (random crap) Oh noes, Kenshin will be slaughtered.Protagonist: I can't kill people. But I'll defeat you, despite your invincible technique/my injuries etc...(Insert more conversation, with a dash of action to break up the fighting conversation) Yes, it truly is a pitiful formula. The most obvious form of fillers.Pacifism is OK, but doesn't seem to work well for 95 episodes. As far as characters go. Kenshin and the police chap are quite solid characters. As for the others, there's no need for me to speak of them. They seem "cartoony." The type of character's you would expect in a show aimed at children? I liked at least 10% of the series nonetheless (I enjoyed the "screwing around" episodes more than the "epic battle" episodes to say the least). But the 90% I disliked was a waste of good money. As far as I understand it, the only reason this show could have as high a rating as it does is because of the sentimental bond that was formed with Kenshin's character in the previous renditions. I would definitely recommend Samurai Champloo over this if you want a good, solid samurai anime. In fact, I would recommend most other anime over this. Fullmetal Alchemsit, Mushishi, Trigun, Fruits Basket, Desert Punk, Licensed by Royalty, Gankutsuou, Cowboy Bebop to name a few. The list goes ever on and on.Share the Love, Azza

sven7-1 You cannot call yourself a sci-fi fan without watching Star Trek or Farscape. And you certainly cannot call yourself a true anime fan without watching Rurouni Kenshin. Few years ago I didn't even know the word anime, but since I accidentally saw RK I became an addict. It is full of action, fun, romance, BATTLES and most of all many COOL characters. I still can't call anyone a favourite even years after. Most of all I enjoyed the fact that the main characters are not divided into good and bad. There's just sides, which is more like in real life. If you like sword fight, samurai or just the best animes this one is a MUST-TO-SEE.

nikhil11301983 The anime is about a wandering samurai in the 11th year of the Meiji era (around 1878)who stumbles upon a dojo in Tokyo and decides to stay there, helping in and around it. He protects the weak against the strong with his sword (even when they are banned) and in the process, runs into some friends and enemies from the past. The series also has some characters who really existed in the history of Japan which makes it all the more interesting. The best episodes to watch are 28 through 62, but you will need to go through the earlier ones which are sometimes silly to really understand them. The soundtrack alone is exceptional and is worth listening to. In my opinion it is better than most animes in its class.
