Summary: Great DVD!!!
Review: This is a MUST have DVD for all RK fans. This DVD begins with the second season of RK, the Kyoto Arc. It includes the Saito/Kenshin battle. This is the best fight in this anime. This is also when Kenshin leaves Kaoru and the others to go to Kyoto to fight against a guy named Shishio. The series has gotten a whole lot darker and serious now. The cheerful background music I loved so much has been replaced with mysterious and eerie music. Anyway, this DVD is great!

Summary: Kenshin Vs. Saitou
Review: This is a very good DVD. Probably the best of the whole series. Kenshin would have most definitely killed Saitou. Everyone seems to think Saitou is the best. Kenshin was playing with him before he reverted into Battousai mode, in which case he wasn't even trying his hardest as Saitou was. All in all this is more exciting than the fight with Shishio in my opinion, as this has much more emotion and has more memories behind it.

Summary: Greatest fight sequence so far...
Review: This is absolutely, positively, no-doubt-about-it incredible! Saito is creepy and mean, but there is honor there, and a small bit of kindness. A former Shinsengumi leader, he is now a police officer, and uses his position (both of them) to his advantage. Of the "bad guys" Kenshin's faced so far, Saito is tied with Aoshi for number one on my list of favorites. I can't say I'd ever like to meet Saito in person, but as a character he is great!Now, for the fight scene. I'm not kidding when I saw that this is the coolest fight so far. I'm not going to give anything away, but just let me say that this fight alone is worth the money for the dvd. I was blown away by it, and I think you will be too. Voice acting is normal for this series. The subbed version is awesome, and the dubbed version needs to be destroyed as soon as possible. The English acting sounds stilted and the voices are wrong, especially Kenshin's. My God, I hate the dubbed version! The art is gorgeous! I love how they did the fights. The animators did a terrific job with the Saito-Kenshin fight, considering that it was taking place at dusk and both characters move incredibly fast. So, to sum it up--WATCH THIS! If nothing else, you at least need to see the Saito-Kenshin fight! I also loved the scene where Kenshin leaves. Now go WATCH IT!

Summary: Battousai vs. Wolf of Mibu
Review: This is my favorite Kenshin to date. It includes appearances of many important characters, such as a brief glimpse of Sojirou, the boy assassin, and the arrival of Hajime Saito, former leader of the Third Squad of the Shinsengumi and the Battousai's arch-rival. The battle between Kenshin and Saito is awesome. It is also the beginning of the Kyoto arc, which is where the story really takes off.

Summary: Enter the Wolf
Review: This is one of my all time favorite DVDs of the series. An anti-hero, Saito makes his grand entrance, as the old nemesis from Kenshin's past and he's not leaving without a fight. With Saito's appearance it reveals more of Kenshin's bloody past, and is just the beginning for what lies in store for Kenshin and his friends in future epsodes.
No collection is complete without this one. There's a great fight scene that is brilliantly animated between Kenshin and Saito that will make you want to watch it over and over again. Don't miss this one. If there is one great anime DVD to get, this is the one.

Summary: The Absolute Best Fight EVER
Review: This is the absolute BEST fight in Anime EVER. The emotional intensity. The absolute departure from the cold assassin of Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal. And defiantly a departure from our non-violent Kenshin of the Meiji era.
Taken out of context it will blow you away with the emotions and the sheer determination of the fighters to literally KILL each other. Within context it says much more. When watching good anime, it is not just what is said but what is left unsaid that moves the story, and deeply effects the viewer.
I have been informed that Cartoon Network is playing Rurouni Kenshin on their Adult Swim. Yes. Finally more people can discover the drama of one of the best Anime to come out of Japan. But I have also heard that Cartoon Network is editing for violent content, blood, etc. I don't know if this fight will make it on to the air.
The emotional tensions, the sheer determination of the two to KILL each other, by any means they can. They don't pick up cars, or tables and try to pummel their opponent to death, they don't scream the names of martial arts moves, they don't super charge up and hit their opponent with a blast of chi energy from a nice safe distance, it does not take place in the middle of space with energy weapons providing an artistic light show in the background. They simply trying to kill each other, die in the attempt

Summary: Hajime Saitou kicks ASS!
Review: This is the best Rurouni Kenshin DVD I ever got, because Saitou kicks alot of ... This was the greatest fight of all. Saitou is my favorite character of all! Saitou the third leader of the Shinsengumi could have whooped Kenshin's ... if he didn't turn into the battousai. But nobody won the battle. Theres a lot of violence here but too bad Cartoonnetwork only airs the edited version. But Saitou still should have won. I recommend you get this DVD. You don't want to miss the Kyoto arc episodes.

Summary: This DVD rocks!
Review: This is the rated the best Kenshin fight in the entire series, OVA, anime and manga. I hate reading reviews that don't give me information so I'm going to give you enough information for you to be satisfied. I havn't watched THIS DVD yet, but I watched this DVD at my friends house. It starts with Kenshin dreaming about his days as Hitokiri Battousai (Translation: Shadow assasin Manslayer) during the Ikedaya affair, when Ishin shi shi members (people who fought for the Meji governmetn) want to raise an army and set fire to Kyoto, which was the captiol of Japan. The Shinsengumi (an elite group of Tokyo swordsman who support the existing shogun government) find out about the plot and raid the inn the Ishin shi shi are in. The action starts when the door to the room the Ishin shi shi are in, and the man who opens it, is bleeding at the mouth and goes "Meiboru!" and dies. The Ishin shi shi fight it out with the Shinsengumi, and the Shinsengumi easily kills all of them. Then a building explodes, and two Ishin shi shi members try to get away when they are cornered by the Shinsengumi. They are saved by Kenshin, who kills 8 Shinsengumi. Then Saitou comes and does a gatotsu (left handed stab) on kenshin. Then Kenshin wakes up. Near the middle of the DVD, Saitou reappears and fights it out with Kenshin. This is the single BEST fight in Kenshin. Then the action diminishes. I recommend this DVD HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Must Have DVD!!!
Review: This is the volume that contains Kenshin v. Saitou battle scene and it is the beginning of the highly anticipated Kyoto Arc. Now the storyline is close to the manga which is based on and you can't miss the next 30 episodes. Media Blasters has done an excellent job with this DVD. Menu design is cool looking and easy to maneuver. Cover design is great. I wasn't too sure how the overlay will look at the end of Episode 31, but they did a superb job by making it look very similar to the original one, which is included as Extras! I can't wait to see the upcoming volumes now.

Review: This is where the Kenshin series REALLY gets good. This is the beginning the Kyoto saga, where the plot, character development, and fight scenes become untouchable by most other anime out there. I own these episodes already but I still can't wait to get my hands on this DVD!! These episodes are a must have for any Kenshin fan!!!!
