Summary: UNBELIEVABLE!
Review: I just have to say what a great plessure it is to own such a great anime such as rurouni kenshin.Sorry Amazon I was just about to get this right on this website but reading all the reviews I just couldn't take the chance.This great box set has the first 27 episodes of rurouni kenshin which make up the "Tokyo Arc" it's good but not as good as the Kyoto Arc.I don't have the Legend in Kyoto box set but i'm saving up my money.If you get this box set be very careful with the way u handle it because you might get deep scratches in it.This is a great season but u would rather get the second because that's the best I only this first because I want to see the first episodes and I want to get it in order. You better get this box set.

Summary: One Great Anime
Review: I love anime and this one is definitly a must see. It has awesome action sequences and a great story. I have seen the whole series uncut (95 episodes) and this is a great Intro to the entire thing. the three sagas, Wandering Samurai, Legend of Kyoto, and Tales of the Meiji are all worth seeing. Lengend of Kyoto by far beats them all. Tales of the meiji was good but in my opinion the series in all is in my top 5 animes.

Summary: Awesome show, but...
Review: I'd first like to say that I love this anime, as it is extremely well-done. As to why I am giving this set 3 stars, it regards how it got packaged. For some reason I wasn't all to sure about what awaited me if I looked at the back of a disk, so I looked. The first was dusty, and the same with the second. I wiped them off, and started watching. First disk worked fine, then I got to the second. The picture either A) got pixelated or B) paused for roughly 10 seconds then picked up at another scene. That caused me to look at the other disks and brought about shock at seeing scratches going down one side of the disk. Needless to say I wasn't very happy with that. =/

Summary: Required for an anime collection
Review: It's rare to find an excellent series of anime. While Evangelion and Trigun are great animes, there's usually something wrong with them. Whether the series is too complex, too simple, or too slow. Definately not the case with Rurouni Kenshin.Back in the 19th century, Japan was in an era known as the Tokugawa shogunate, when a power hungry man defeated the Imperial forces and became more powerful than its Emperor. Many Japanese imperialists wanted to bring the Emperor back into power. A man named Kenshin Himura was a samurai known as Hitokiri Battousai, a deadly assassin who helped groups overthrow the government. While the imperialists succeeded, creating an era known as the Meiji Restoration, Kenshin stopped being a hitokiri after a tragedy(watch the Trust/Betrayal OVA's cause there's no way I'm spoiling that). Kenshin decides that he's not gonna kill anyone ever again and wanders around Japan for 10 years. This is where the series starts. Kenshin runs into a woman named Kaoru, who's angry at a man calling himself Battousai and killed her father. Kenshin gets tangled in this and saves Kaoru, and so begins their friendship, with Yahiko, a young ex-pickpocket-turned-student under Kaoru's Kamiya Kasshin Style fighting and Sanosuke, a man who was once in a group that helped in the war and hates the Meiji government for trampling over his group. Also joining later on is Megumi, a talented doctor who likes to flirt with Kenshin(which ticks Kaoru right off). This series will reach its peak with Season 2 but this is still a good series and starting point. You'll meet several memorable characters including Azume, Sazume and Aoshi, a commander of another group who's got just as much skill as Kenshin does(and one of the coolest swordsmen on the show). Not as overtly complicated as Secret Experiment Lain or Evangelion, just as funny as Trigun and Excel Saga, and as much action as Dragon Ball Z(albeit more realistic), Rurouni Kenshin is often mentioned in people's Top 10 Animes including mine and stick around after this set, Season 2 is beyond masterpiece level.

Summary: The Meiji Era, a time of trouble and profit.
Review: Japan, after a long and bloody civil war, is now trapped between the ideals of the past and the promise of the future. Swords have been outlawed yet the survivors of the revolution are waiting in the shadow. The defeated wait for their chance to strike back while many of the winners now use their power within the government to gain power and wealth.
Kenshin Himura, once a Imperial assassin, is now the only man the stands between peace and renewed war. Can a former killer with an outlawed weapon be faithful to the new ways or will his violent ways take control again?
Six DVDs with 27 episodes, outtakes, art work, notes on Japanese history and terms, this is a great collection to have. Includes the English voices of the very good Richard Hayworth, the independent Dorothy Melendrez, the young Elyse Floyd, the serious sounding Lex Lang, the sexy Wendee Lee, the delightful John Billingslea, the always sweet sounding Rebecca Forstadt (also known as Reba West) and the evil Steve Cannon (the voice of Harry McDougall from the Outlaw Star). Please note that Elyse Floyd is ALSO Wendee Lee and the cute sounding Sandy Fox also sings the English version of the opening song.
And while not a fan of any ONE Japanese voice actor, the Japanese voices are good too!
I got it used, in so-so condition, so I got a REAL deal. Some of the episodes are stand alone, but many of the stories are two or more episodes long, with lots of cool fights and tons of humor. The artwork is so-so, but the rest of the features found on the DVD make up for it.

Summary: Kenshin rules...but where's the rest of the episodes?
Review: Man I tell you ever since I 1st watched Rurouni Kenshin I was hooked on the show. I always wondered when a boxed set would come out in the US. And yes, my prayers were answered with this finely crafted DVD set featuring the 1st 28 epiodes. Now when this set came out I was all for it...but where's the rest of the episodes? This ain't right to make a fan buy another boxed set to complete the collection. And what's with this new ending credits song. i mean it's good...and in english...but I miss the original Japanese Technoish ending that we're all used to. Nevertheless, the series is a must see and worth the money for any anime fan.
