Rating: Summary: rurouni kenshin!! Review: the rurouni kenshin series are by far my all time fave anime, the second series legend of kyoto in my opinion is one of the best, though it is smilar to the first series it is also much darker, the story is gripping, though i feel some fight scenes do go on longer than necessary, yet it still oes not detract from the story as is the case with some anime. the characters in this series are fantastic and well developed especialy since they star throughout the entirity you really get to know them. fantastic anime
Rating: Summary: A brilliant show. Review: The second arc of Kenshin is breath-taking at its finest, nail-biting at its fiercest, and heart-warming at its best. The story has always been about redemption. The underlying tone of the series has been of hope, no matter how small, and the ability to realize as long as you are alive, you have a chance. The first arc allowed the characters to develop and gave the audience a reason to care. The second, made you realize how much you cared. Kenshin goes through trials that test his principles and forces him to find a way to strengthen his mettle without giving up his vow to never take another human life. What draws me to this character is how the story and theme puts such importance on the little things in life that people generally don't notice. Such as, shopping for tofu can be a joy when you don't have to worry about war or famine. The new regime of the Meiji government is not perfect. Everyone knows this and Kenshin helped to create an imperfect system. Originally, the ideals of this new government was to help create peace and equality. Wonderful logic, but eventually, the winning side became corrupt and villianous. It also didn't help that the remaining forces of the Shogunate were not allowed to be what they had been all their lives: Samurai. Riddled with guilt, Kenshin decides to do only what one man can do; he does all that he can. He goes from battle to battle to show that you can live without losing your ideals and as long as you're alive, you can fight to make things better. The Kyoto arc is amazing. The government still has dirty little secrets that they want covered up. Namely, the assassin, named Shi-shi-o, that they used when Kenshin decided to leave. The battle of principles lies on the fact that the government wants him dead and they want Kenshin to dispatch him. Kenshin won't kill him, but Shi-shi-o will dismantle the present peace that Japan is enjoying. That is where the journey begins. Along the way, Kenshin will leave his friends behind and try to battle alone against a foe he's not sure he can beat. But, Kenshin will gain strength because of his friends, not in spite of them. They will not leave him to face anything alone. When he realizes this, it becomes one of the most memorable scenes in the whole series. Essentially, the second arc becomes the catalyst for Kenshin to realize that even though he struggles to find redemption, he is allowed to have happiness. I hope that anyone who watches this show gets as much enjoyment and delight that I have. Happy viewing!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Fantastic, a moral and motivational journey!! Review: This is not an indoctrination or anything like that, but rather the show provides you with hope that there is always hope and the determination to carry on. TRY TRY TRY. The basic Japanese theme for most movies and anime!!
Rating: Summary: Battousai at its Best!(BY: Joey) Review: This season is the hands down best season in all of the Rurouni Kenshin series. Anything cool or stylish or dramatic that you really want to happen, keeps your shoulders tense for a while, even if you know wether it will happen or not. This season also has the most memorable moments, such as Kenshin's final test, the battles, and even the love stories.
Rating: Summary: Everything you want in a anime series. Review: This season of Rurouni Kenshin takes off where the first season endid a guy from the Shinsengumi named Saito pays a visit to the Battousai's living area the Kamiya Dojo and this is where stuff get's intresting. Another guy, thought to be Kenshin's succesor Makoto Shishio is trying to take over Japan. So Kenshin has to stop before the nation will be troubled. For any Rurouni Kenshin fan this is a must bought kind of thing, I mean thios has everything you want in a action anime series. It has Action, Drama, Some Comidic Humor, Emotions and a whole line of stuff. Plus it is sort of a low price instead of buying the Legend of Kyoto DVD's one by one you can get this easy. The price is $149.99 so stop reading all the reviews and get this already.
Rating: Summary: Extremely overrated and crappy. Review: This show eats it simply because Kenshin doesn't kill his foes, thats the weak way to fight!! Kenshin is no more than a samarai version of Vash the Stampede!! If Jubei from Ninja Scroll fought Kenshin, Kenshin would be killed!! This show blows no ifs ands or buts!!
Rating: Summary: AMAZING ANIME!! Review: What can I say? KENSHIN ROCKS!! not only is one of my favorite animes of all times but it's also got an amazing soundtrack!! the songs are sooo goooddd!! some are weird but once you listen to them over and over they grow on you! KICK ASS ANIME!! GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! It's funny (EXTREMELY HILARIOUS at times), interesting, it's got amazing plot that entertains you but does not go over the top drama or anything, and also has kick ass fights that leave you wanting more! I love it!!! Kenshin and all the characters in this anime are presented in a way that they seem real, and by the end of every episode you end up loving them even more. It's something you are going to want to have for ever .. seriously I see myself still watching this anime when im 90 :D
