Summary: Its ok, but not really Kenshin styl....
Review: It was ....well....ok... I just dont like to see endings like that in a very good show.
I gave it three stars because of the quallity and that the story line wasn't messed up.
but, they dont talk the same and the drawing styl isnt even like the original.
Its one of these movies where you go
buying->watching->being dissapointed->learning to accept it->throwing it in the Trash

Summary: Well done, but disappointing
Review: By itself this was a very good episode. The animation and music soundtrack was very well done and I liked seeing what became of all the other characters. The story was very emotional and even made me cry. However, the thought of Kenshin dying from something like leprosy seems a little off. He was an invincible warrior and a very strong man. If he had to die, I would have liked him to have a more noble death.

Summary: I didn't happen...
Review: My first reaction upon watching this was total denial. Then there was anger, 'How could they do that to MY Kenshin?!!' Then I tried to accept, but that didn't work. So, I Googled for "Nobuhiro Watsuki interview" found out that the original creator of Rurouni Kenshin didn't have anything to do with it & was personally in favor of happy endings--I was vastly relieved. It's confirmed. It really didn't happen.For those who're confused, it happened like this: -First there was a comic series by Nobushiro Watsuki called Rurouni Kenshin--it eventually came to 28 volumes.
-Then there was an anime based on the comic, also called Rurouni Kenshin (96 episodes). The first half of the series comes directly from the comic, the second half deviates quite a bit.
-Then there was the first OAV, the US title is Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal. This was based on Kenshin's backstory (ten years before the beginning of the tv series) as it was told in the comic--it's just a tad more serious and the art is a little different.
-Finally, there is this monstrosity. It flashes back to past incidents from the TV show/comic--but retells them all so that they're more depressing. Then it tacks on an original ending that, in my opinion, contradicts the entire point/theme of the previous 96 episodes & 28 volumes of story. Basically, there's very little new story in this movie--it's mostly just a rehash of what's gone before. The little that was new, I found to be poorly thought out and not in line with the rest of the series.

Summary: Great show on its own but....
Review: I am a HUGE fan of the Kenshin OVA and television series, but I just can't give this a 5 star rating. By itself, it is actually very good. It's very emotional, Kenshin and Kaour's relationship was fully explored and explained, and the animation is on par with the OVAs. The problem I have is with its ending, which should not have turned out the way it did, at least in my humble opinion. To me, Kenshin is a legendary warrior and the ending should have shown that, instead we get a rather pathetic and broken man. I never ever wanted to see him that way and found it disheartening. Also, I am not Japanese and do not fully understand its culture so I found Kaoru's decision to be unrealistic and incomprehensible. Of course I can't ruin the story and tell you what she did. I would also like to have seen more new footage instead of a re-telling of the TV series. Once again I have to say this is a very good piece of work, but I would rather detach it from any association with the OVAs, which were wonderful to say the least. All in all, I felt this was a very sad and disappointing ending for such a great series. Shinta deserved more.

Summary: Samurai X Reflection
Review: The DVD was sad and you could fell the love and emotions that Kaoru and Kenshin shared. The fight senes were great. I would recomed this to any Kenshin fan out there. I'v read the manga verson and have some of the cartoon's ones and I have trust and betray on dvd. I cried at the end. The ending semed right. Kenshin died in the arms of the one he loved and he was finaly happy. If you love Kenshin then you must rent of buy this and you will see for yourself how Kenshin and Karou loved each other and how Karou wanted to share his pain.

Summary: Simply beautiful
Review: I'm a long time Kenshin fan so I was really worried that I would hate this OVA because I had heard that he dies at the end. Even though he did die, it was not the horribly depressing tearjerker that I expected it to be. It's the story of Kaoru, who is also sick, reminiscing on her life with Kenshin. The artwork is the best that I have ever seen in an anime film. There are several flashbacks to things that took place in the series. They also do a flashback to the incident with Enishi. I thought that this was a great scene, beautifully drawn and good dialog. Enishi was a much better villain than Shishio because he wasn't completely bad, he had a deep hurt and sadness in his soul over the death of his sister and it helped to humanize him. He wasn't just a blood-thirsty monster like Shishio. There are also some really nice scenes between Kenshin and Kaoru where you really get to see them express their feelings for each other. Unlike the series, where you were constantly waiting to see some spark of love or romantic attraction, something beyond just friendship. Finally you see them share some really sweet and tender moments. This film was not only beautifully animated but also done with great respect to the story line and characters. The great thing about the Kenshin series is that it (for the most part) was very realistic compared to the typical anime. With the exception of parts of the last season, there were never any monsters or science fiction elements. It was about real life and in real life people eventually die. I think that Kenshin's death was fitting for his character. He did not die in a sword battle like a warrior, because in his heart he wasn't a warrior. He was a gentle caring man that died peacefully in the arms of the woman he loved, the woman that loved him more than she loved her own life. I can't think of a better way to pass from this life to the next. I did shed a tear at the end of this film, not out of sadness but happiness that Kenshin's atonement was finally over and his soul was finally at peace. It's truly a remarkable piece of anime that every Kenshin fan must see and even a non-fan could enjoy. ****Also, be sure to watch through the credits of part 2. Afterwards there is a really sweet and uplifting epilogue that you don't want to miss!

Review: Now for all the people who said you have to buy it only if you've seen the series or any of RK,let me tell you I have never seen any of RK until now and I have to say it is awesome!! The story is deeply moving and sad. The battle between Enishi and Kenshim is so AWESOME!!! So this dvd is great.(...).

Summary: The. Best. Manga. Ever.
Review: This is simply beautiful. It's Kaoru's story, mostly, and let me say... nothing on tv has ever made me cry the way this did.
First thing's first. If you don't absolutely love Kenshin, you probably won't get what's behind all of this. If you aren't a die hard fan, it won't touch you. You have to know the characters and the show before it to really understand it.
Second: A tissue box. Lots of them. Trust me, you'll need them.
Third: Someone to share your grief with.
Fourth: Kenshin marathon - from beginning to end. From trust all the way to reflection.
