Summary: pheer the Sakabatao
Review: A great anime show and these first 27 episodes are great considering they're ice breakers to introduce the concept of the show and the characters. Quick overview:
Its been 10 years since the Meji Revolution and when the legendary Hitokiri Battosai, the 1 man who tiped the balance of power during the bloody feud, was last scene. He reapears in Tokyo in time to encounter a martial artist in need, Miss Kaoru, whose style of swordsmanship was being tainted by a fake Hitokiri Battosai. He then befriends a number of others; Yaiko, son of a samurai whose family was forced into service by a local gang. Sanoske, who was part of a group working for the Imperialists during the revolution but was inevitably betrayed by them. Miss Megumi who came from a family of doctors but was forced to develop opium for an underground businessman.

You also meet a bunch of other characters you'll see later or their precense and/or impact is felt later like Aoshi of the Obiwan group. A lot of the episodes in this 27 pack are linked to a bigger story you seee in the second collectors box containing episodes 28-46.

The animation is excellent, very beautifally detailed. Fight scenes are lacking but are quite amazing when you see them but this show isn't about fighting rather the story behind fighting. I highly recommend this for anyone from ages 12+

Summary: This is quite a great series, "That it is."
Review: A mix of extremly satisfying action,gut busting comedy,and with a great storyline,this is quite possibly the greatest anime box-set out there.With tons of extras(A TON),its great quality, and with so many episodes,it perfectly captures the good-as-gold anime.At first glance I mearly shrugged."Looks sorta dull." I thought.Well Kenshin kicked my *bleep* with his reverse blade sword,5 times before I hit the ground.With such great and unique characters,this anime is on par with such greats as Inu-Yasha(A story of a great Journey, and the romance of a half-demon and a human girl) and .hack//sign(A drama/romance which will have you on the edge of your seat with each cliff-hanger ending.)
One of the greatest things about the Kenshin series is despite all its great humor,the action sceanes flow perfectly with the plot.The character's actions never seem off-set,and the script is great too.Ya gotta admit,seeing a samurai fight a mass-murderer has got too have your pulse pounding.

With this box set of action-packed,hilarous,deep episodes of anime,you can't go wrong.I'm sure that you'll love this great series after the first episode
that I am.

Summary: Somethings Just Don't Need An Explination
Review: And This anime series is one of them. Rurouni Kenshin is an awesome anime - in both style, artistic vaule, and story line. The characters are dynamic, and soul-filled creatures, and though it's rather depressing at times, it's definately stuffed full of every emotion availble.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: Any Kenshin fan(or anime fan for that matter)should definately get this. For those of you who don't know, Rouroni Kenshin is a show about a vicious killer from a bloody revolution who becomes a wanderer who doesn't kill in repent for what he did. The only problem is that he is constantly being attacked by the government and people who want revenge for what he did. It's quite good and the subtitles are very easy to get used to. A must buy!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: rurounio kenshin
Review: First of all I don't care what anyone says about this show its the best i've ever seen yet although I suggest Tenchi Muyo, which was also very good show. Rurouni kenshin has alot of humpr, but alot has to do with aliitle romance and friensship. The box set is worth it . buy it its worht every penny

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rurouni ROCKS!!!!
Review: Hey.... for all of you reading this wondering, " hey if the box set hasnt been relased then how can you give it 5 stars"

- Well I seen both the first and second season on cartoon network and I have all of the ova ( or movies) and all I can say is WOW!!

It has suspense, romance, murder, it has it all!! You see..
Kenshin is a wondering smarai type guy in the late 1800's ( this is a fictional story but it is based on a real time period in Japan)
He was the best assaisin for the rebel army ( they were fighting with the government because it was corrupt) In an attempt to help the suffering powerless citzens of Japan, kenshin joined the rebel army to become hitokiri battosai. This was a name given to him showing that he was the best at assasination. If you rent the movie trust and betrayal you will find out why he changes his view about murder andl ife... but to make a long story shorter the first season and series for that manner is about him ten years after he vows never to kill again..........

I just got the boxed set... and its just wonderful. The artwork is georgeous on the box and sleeves. But its cardboard so that is a major minus. Be very careful about the cd's falling out.. you dont want all that money crashing and falling on the floor do you? But the box is not only pretty , but I fit all of my kenshin cd cases in there( i was bored) so now i wont loose them.

Bonuses
Also they have this funny bloopers section... you gotta see them its funny!!

They have artwork from the artist that did the box and other viewrs that send that stuff in

They have the serise in the english dubb, and jappanese, plus you can get the theme songs ( i think its like 3 total) without subtitles!!

the best part that it has language and japanese culture notes with was really informative and educational ;)

Then it goes from there...
So........
I'm certainly going to get my rurouni kenshin box set.....
ARE YOU???????

Summary: DBZ's Probebly Crying On The Floor
Review: I am afan of anime. But when it comes right down to Kenshi, DBZ, or any other of those, I shut off the T.V! But when I had Cartoon network, I would sprint to the T.V and watch this show. The story's about Motosi the man slayer(real name Kenshin) killing many in war. As he fought, his wife tried to stop him and gets killed! Promising himself to never kill again, he still fights to protect Japan from evil dictators and all pwerful warriors(later in the show). On his journey to nowhere, he meets a girl who first tries to fight him then becomes one of his closest freinds. Time goes by as he meets new freinds and terrible enemies. This is one of (or THE) greatest anime show ever made(just ask around).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful boxset and awesome anime.
Review: I decided to pick this boxset because of my growing interest in Rurouni Kenshin. The Bento Box design is a very nice touch, with a gorgeous picture of Kenshin on the front. Inside, each DVD is kept in a CD sleeve that holds two DVD's total. Just be careful how you hold it. If you hold onto it the wrong way, the disc slides out of the sleeves. This set contains all the episodes for season one. Not a bad deal and an amazing boxset design to boot.

PS: Please don't buy the bootleg DVD's on ebay. Show your support and purchase the legitimate copy. Not only will you get this beautiful boxset, but the DVD video and audio quality will be much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good
Review: I don't have this box set, but I watched the series on TV and loved it. So I was looking for a way to get it. This is a good deal but you can find an imported version that is still dubbed in english for half the price and it has half of the next arc!
Amazon should try to find and stock this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINNALY.
Review: I have been waiting for a box set for all these years because there is such so many DVD's,22 to be exact. I am a real fan of Rurouni Kenshin and Now I can finnaly get the whole T.V series easily but there are three box sets,Wandering Samurai, Legend of Kyoto and Tales of the Meiji also maybe coming out in the future the Jinchu Arc which is only on the manga for now so don't waste all your money just for this because the rest of them are a lot better. This is about a man named Himura Kenshin. He was one of the best assasin in Japan during the Revolution he became the Hitokiri Battousai, but when it was over he became a rurouni (wanderer). But when a young girl named Kaoru was getting angry at a imposter who also was named the Battousai she get's mad at the wrong person. Well anyway I am not gonna waste my time writing a long review so go get this box set right a way and make sure you have at least $150.00 with you because this box set is not exactly cheap.
