Summary: The Best Episodes
Review: I LOVE this DVD. Anyone who is a Rurouni Kenshin fan or just a Hajime Saitou fan like I am will love these episodes. It's the first appearance of Saitou, former member of the Shinsengumi. This DVD rules cause it includes the greatest battle in Rurouni Kenshin history. Never will you ever see a better duel. And Saitou doesn't see much action during the rest of the Kyoto arc, so this is his biggest battle. Any Ruroken fan should get this DVD right away! It's worth it!

Summary: One of the best Rurouni Kenshin DVD
Review: I think Rurouni Kenshin evolves with each new DVD. The Story gets more interesting and becomes more and more involved with the Past of Kenshin. It becomes clear that the Past has cought up with Kenshin and that he can't bury his being a "Manslayer" any longer. This is a great DVD with good animation. The Characters have developed very good over the entire Story Arc. They've gotten more background (espescially Kenshin) and are able to show more emotions than in the beginning of the Series.

I can't wait for the next DVD to be released.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A must have for ALL Kenshin Fans
Review: I wanted desperately to give this DVD a 5 star arting, but that would be saying that it is perfect, and *sniff* it's not. The annoying way that Media Blasters has translated such great Kenshin sayings as "Oro" and "de gozaru yo" really gets on my nerves. However, that does not mean that this is not one of the greatest parts of the greatest anime of all time. Unlike the ...Evangelion DVD's, the picture quality of these DVDs is greatly improved from VHS. When I first heard about the poorly subtitled Kenshin DVDs, I thought I wouldn't get them, but now I changed my mind, and have my eyes on the whole series. Shadow of the Wolf will be my most prized DVD when it is released(along with my Kenshin OVA, gwahaha). I absolutely have to have it, and I'm telling you, you should too.

Summary: This Is What We Have Been Waiting For!
Review: If you are a Kenshin fan, this is a must see! In this DVD, the Kyoto Arc begins. Kenshin is reuinted with a nemisis from his past, Saito Hajime. Kenshin lets the battossi loose during his fight with Saito. It is the best fight you will ever see from an anime. Also, Kenshin must leave everyone he loves behind to find his successor, Shishio Makoto and defeat him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aku, Soku, Zan--lots of Zan!!
Review: If you enjoyed the previous Kenshin episodes, you'll absolutely love this part of the series. This DVD begins the Kyoto arc that many other reviewers have talked about. Where the previous arc mainly concentrated on character intros and some filler episodes, the Kyoto arc focuses on Kenshin and his attempt to defeat Shishio Makoto, who is trying to overthrow the Meiji government, and his own internal struggle to defeat the demons of his past (here the TV series follows the manga fairly closely). Some of the best fight scenes of the entire series, if not in all anime, are in this arc with the introduction of some pretty deadly cool characters. In particular, we meet ex-Shinsengumi captain Saito Hajime who is one of the few fighters who can fight Kenshin to a standstill in all their fights and who looks to finally end their rivalry one way or another. Saito's methods of getting Kenshin to realize the danger of just remaining a rurouni in their attempt to stop Shishio are brutal but effective. Although seemingly cold and "evil-looking", Saito and his partnership with Kenshin will be key to the story. The storytelling and art improve dramatically, and the episodes' plots concentrate on greater charcter development as well as provide excellent fighting scenes. You absolutely can't miss these Kyoto arc episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best fight scene of the hitokiri and mobu's wolf
Review: If you haven't bought the first 6 vol of kenshin; this is the one that you shouldn't miss. This is the begining of the best chapter of rorouni kenshin; the KYOTO CHAPTER. If you think that kenshin was great fighting jin-e, the true hitokiri will come out on this one snd show you how bad kenshin was when he was a hitokiri. I advise you to buy this vol and the volumes after this cause this is basically the best chapter of the series....saitoh is the only bad guy you will grow to like.....in other words this dvd is very zeeehhhhssteeeehhhh!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest battles in the series
Review: If you like the fight scenes Ruroken, then you'll love the battle of Hitokiri Battousai(Battousai the manslayer) and Saito. It showed how Kenshin fought during the revolution, without announcing the name of his attacks beforehand.

All in all, this is a great setup disc for the Kyoto arc, the best arc in the Ruroken series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rurouni Kenshin - Shadow of the Wolf
Review: In a word, AWESOME! This is the Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X series at its best. This is anime at its best. Himura Kenshin did not rank as one of my favorite anime characters until I saw Shadow of the Wolf. Otaku and neophyte will be amazed by the depth of the writing and by the brilliance of the direction. We are allowed a glimpse of what Kenshin must have been like as the Battousai -- and he is not even close to what he was ten years ago! The swordfighting sequences are an acrobatic thrill. So, if you only watch one DVD of Rurouni Kenshin, do yourself a favor and watch this one.
