Summary: Rurouni Kenshin-Fire Requiem
Review: An amazing ending to an amazing saga. Just when you thought you knew how it would end they totally make you think about who really won. I waited months to find out how the legend of kyoto series would end and trust me I wasnt disappointed. Kenshin, Sanosuke, Aoshi, and the others make this one of the best episodes ever with their will to never giveup and to always fight for what they believe in. If your thinking about watching this whole saga trust me when I say you wont be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent ending
Review: As the final chapter in the "Kyoto Arc", I was not disappointed. This is a fine ending, with no nasty cliffhanger at the end to leave you poised for the next chapter. And unlike a lot of anime these days, the final chapter was not watered down, or an anticlimax. It completed the arc in the style consistent with quality found in the first chapter "Shadow of the Wolf". Well worth purchasing.

Review: Excellent ending to the Kyoto Arc - Emotionally powerful and visually stimulating! The extras are quite lacking, but no different from all of the other DVD's in this series.

Summary: Early Kenshin is better than Late Kenshin
Review: I've watched the entire series, all 100 some-odd episodes. Kenshin is my favorite anime series, but the plot and action starts to deteriorate when he begins to fight Shishio-sama. Shishio's character is the least realistic character in any anime series ever, and that includes Ranma. Shishio is this guy who got totally engulfed in boiling oil or something, and he now has flame-power attached to his sword skills... and they make up some BULL about how his pores are all closed, so he can't sweat...etc.. so he has this crazy fire power. Believe me, waching this annoying and drawn out action is not very kenshin-like. I think the best part of the series is when he fights the Oniwa Banshu. The series climaxes when he goes up against his master to learn the ultimate succession technique, which is even more powerful than the Kuzu Ryu Sen (9-way) attack. So, if you're into Kenshin, you will want to watch this eventually, but this part of the series is a much better rental, so don't buy this particular DVD. I recommend all other kenshin DVD's "*****"

Summary: The Final Episodes of the Famous Kyoto Arc
Review: If you would ask any Rurouni Kenshin fan what arc was their favorite, most likely they would say the Kyoto Arc. Filled with action-packed fight scenes and much more serious than the Tokyo Arc, it is the best arc in the RK Manga. Fire Requiem is the last five episodes of this epic chapter of Rurouni Kenshin. A master of Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryuu, former leader of the Oniwabanshuu Ninja, former gangster known as Zanza, former captain of the Shinsengumi Unit Three and the Battousai's successor duke it out in one place...that is Kyoto, where many of the Ishinshishi, the Shinsengumi and many other groups spilled blood with their swords during the Bakumatsu. The five fight scenes in the DVD are long, short, well-animated and powerful. Although there is a quite a bit of conversations, I guarantee that your eyes will be glued onto the television or the monitor at all times. The outtakes in the extras section are hilarious, worth watching over and over. The character messages that are also in the extras show the personalities of all of the major characters perfectly with their dubbed voice actors and actresses. The first four episodes are action-packed, quite emotional, and filled with suspense, while the final one is reassuring, peaceful and warm and fuzzy. Any Rurouni Kenshin fan should add this to their collection, for they would not be disappointed at all.

Summary: Great ending, hard to follow Innocense and Experience...
Review: It is a shame how it finally happens... though Kenshin would never kill so i guess it works out good enough. This DVD is great, some of the best bloopers in the entire series so far. Shishio's voice actor has some of the best bloopers and Sano's actor is always saying something about getting a sandwich. But this DVD is great but it's really hard to get any better than Innosence and Experience, the DVD just previous to this one. Though now Shishio knows the trick to pulling off the Ama Kakeiru Ryu No Hiro Maki (spelling?) and it is in Kenshin's left foot. Also Shishio is more of a devil than we realized and his cheap tricks are NOT his power by any means. I just hate it that Saito had a perfect chance to do something about it was only only an inch off. You'll see the truth behind the final attack in the Hiten Mitsarugi... It's action packed and built climaticly off the same music for a while. Fire Requiem is the end of the Kyoto arc. In the extras there is a little parting message from the cast. This is the end to the best arc. The next series, Tales of the Meji, isn't as great and contains a lot of filler episodes. Of course i recommend this DVD unless you like the anticipation and the pain of not knowing...

Summary: The end of a legend
Review: Its finally here, the final showdown between Shishio and Kenshin. Now that shishio knows the secret of the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki, will kenshin still be able to execute the move with full power? Plus, how will kenshin manage to defeat him without breaking his vow?
These last few episodes of the Kyoto arc is definetely the ultimate battle between good and evil. If you want to get a kenshin dvd this one is definetely one of the best ones to purchase, since it basically marks the end of the Rurouni Kenshin TV series (The rest of the series are just filler episodes since the Jinchuu arc was not animated). After this DVD comes boring useless episodes that shouldn't be viewed by anyone!
Anyway, this DVD definetely has some of the most intense fighting in it. Its a must see.
