Rurouni Kenshin

[Jack Bauer]

Ummmmmmmmm yeah. Who here watches it?

[Naroc]

ive decide lately to wach them i've gone tru the 25 first episode and ... well... thats much all i can say about it, exepting that its a kick ass anime and i cant wait to see the rest of it.

[cooldark]

i had watched the first and second arcs and i own them, but i have didnt watched the third one since everyone says that sucks... :cool:

[mcmaster]

ive watched through all of them. friend of mine owns them all. its a pretty badass serious, given you like samurai sword fighting. i think its a very well done anime. i would have to agree though the 3rd arced sucked. but the 1st two rocked. however if you liked this series DEFINITELY check out Samurai X trust and betrayal the movie. and also Reflections.

[Ryu]

I have the intire series, all 4 OVA's, all 4 OVA's Directors Cut and the Movie on DVD :D
plus I'm buying the manga now^^ I have 6 vol^^ (of course I've read them all scanlated, but I have to own them, y'know?^^)

so, yeah, I'm a fangirl :D

[~K+]

It was awesome until it went seperate ways from the manga after the Shishio arc which then grew...very lame. But ep1-62 rocked.

Favourite characters: Hajime Saitou and Soujiro

[Kaguya]

I love Rurouni Kenshin, I've seen all of the Ovas and up till the end of the Kyoto arc. I love Rurouni Kenshin its one of my favorites. My favorite character would have to be Kenshin or Soujiro.

[ero-nin]

seen of course ^) I like Kenshin makin' oro-oro face - pretty good u know ^)))

[SasuNaru]

I never really liked it, because I could never figure out if the characters were supposed to have special powers, of is the writers just cheated at lot and made it look like they did.

[Uchicha Itachi]

It's nice, i've watched all the ovas and all the series but Naruto suddenly surpassed Rurouni Kenshin! hehehe..

[ero-nin]

don't think so... they're different... Also T.m. revolution - heart of sword is still in my playlist :)

[Shikamaru]

The anime sucked. The only thing they managed to do right, was the Kyoto arc. The initial arc was terrible (even Watsuki admitted this) and the third arc was just... ugh.

The seishouen also sucked. Badly. It was just downright terrible.

Tsuiokuhen was amazing though. Probably the best made OVA ever created.

And, of course, the manga is also incredible. It was great from start to finish.

[Aruka]

i love rrk ever since!!! ^_^

[ero-nin]

by the way, guys, can u give me link to all op 'n end video cuts...
My Kenshin is without op 'n ends that's kinda dissapointing...

[N4rut0]

I used to watch it but that was like 6-7 years ago and i Didn't know a word in English so I watched it in Portuguese :D

[Lee]

i have seen the first dvd box set and i thought it was exellant but i haven't seen anymore about so i will have to download it, go kenshin(shinta)

[jarlaxle1771]

recently ordered the Seisouhen OVAs...hope they're good

[jarlaxle1771]

i watched the anime like 8times over the last 6 years...thought it was great...the soundtrack was 1 of the best of its time

[Shikamaru]

recently ordered the Seisouhen OVAs...hope they're good

Waste of money.

[Keira]

Rurouni Kenshin by far is the most slow english dubbed airing anime. In CN they almost reached to the last season but suddenly they decided not to air it anymore and now they're airing it from the beginning and only saturdays @_@

When I was around 9 years old, I already had watched the Shishio (sp?) season in a local channel in my country in spanish plus it was all uncut. ^_^

[Jack Bauer]

Yeah i thought CN ruin. Hell they ruin everything. So I decided just to watch it on torrents. But the final fight between Kenshin and Shishio was alright in english althought the japanese version was WAYYYYYy better.

[Kyubi13]

Rorouni kenshi defintely kicks some butt.Kenshin seems all innocent,then comes out and kicks your butt.i luv kenshin,and have seen episodes 1-26. also another awesome samurai anime is Samurai deeper kyo,i wish Kenshin and Demon Eyes Kyo could fight,that would kick some major butt

[Forsaken]

I only got to watch what they aired on Cartoon Network. I did like what little I saw of the Kyoto/Shishio arc. I'll have to watch the ending to that someday, since I still don't know what happened...

It was awesome until it went seperate ways from the manga after the Shishio arc which then grew...very lame. But ep1-62 rocked.

Favourite characters: Hajime Saitou and Soujiro
When RK was edited for TV Saitou's cigarette changed to a toothpick (?) and then back to a cigarette in some scenes. It was... amusing. Ah, Hajime Saitou. I was in LOVE with him... until along came Hatake Kakashi...

[blind51de]

Blah, blah, blah manga is better blah, blah.

Discounting the filler episodes, Rurouni Kenshin is probably the best samurai series there is. (Although I haven't read more than a few volumes of Lone Wolf and Cub). OVA's are excellent, manga is excellent, voice work is excellent.

It's just a shame that the Jinchu arc couldn't get animated in its proper form, it was set up (IE: The freaky long-limbed ninja who got away from Kenshin in the Betrayal episode), but not followed through.

My only faults with the series are in the Raijuuta chapters (mediocre writing), and the battles between the Kenshingumi and the fights with the Six Partners and the Four Gods (seemed way to conveiniently set-up number-wise).

[Seta Soujiro]

Or Samurai X.... nah, RK is better!
Anyone like it? I'm a real big fan of RK, go Soujiro!!

[Mindless]

Of course I like it. Many fillers in the anime though compared to the manga. And it probably has the coolest characters in any anime I've seen so far. And among thoes are:

Hiko Seijuro (Kenshin's teacher)
Seta Soujiro (Beeing called 'Tenken no Soujiro'* is quite cool)
Himura Kenshin (Well, he's the main character, and who dosen't love the 'Oroooo...!')

I don't really feel like writing a huge post about why I like/love it, so I'll make it breif. I love it because of it's unrivaled story, great OVA's to go with it, one of the best soundtracks. Ah, the list goes on. That's what I think.

*NOTE: 'Tenken no Soujiro' litterally means 'Soujirou the Divine Sword/Heavenly Sword'.

[babian]

i've heard of it, but havent gotten around to seeing it...my friend says its good though..^^...and heaps of ppl (including ureselves) say its good sooo, i'll definitely watch it sumtime

[Laiquelleion]

I haven't read the manga but I liked both the OVA (samurai X) and original series very much. They both have their good qualities which separates them from the mainstream of anime. :P The series is the original and has a great story. As mentioned earlier it has many filler episodes, but I don't think that matter much since it gives the viewer a chance to get to know the characters better. Some people don't like the comical part of the series and think it brings down the total qualite of the plot. I on the other hand like the fun parts of the series as well ("oro" can crack me up some times :laugh ).

Compared to the series the OVA has a much more somber and sad tone and lacks ANY jokes.:crying Telling the story of Kenshins past and of how he became a justice protecting wanderer. The sekond part of the OVA also makes a new ending to the story about Rurouni Kenshin.The OVA has staggering animations :nuts and the plot is also very good (according to me).
The ending part has been SOOOO flamed by reviewers and other viewers which I think is sad. They just can't accept the new ending to the plot.
According to me the entire OVA is a masterpiece..

[Ichigo_101]

It too short =/ I wish there was more...

[Chillin]

I used to own in discussions about RK. I'm kind of rusty on my knowledge though. I have the whole series on DVD and I've read all of the manga twice, but it's been a while. And yes Seisouhen sucked ass

[Mindless]

Too short? There is 95 episodes + 5 or 6 OVA's. Is that short? :amazed

Can't understand your thinking. :huh

[BakaKage]

big rurouni kenshin fan here :D!!! i love the series and the OVAs even more. pity that there is no Jinchuu Arc for the anime. 30 episodes of medioce story and animation after the Kyoto Arc :crying

[occasionalutopia]

Merged your Ruroken thread w/ an earlier one Seta Soujiro :)

I love the series as well, prefer the manga but the anime is pretty awesome (well, whatever bits I managed to watch here and there, anyway) ^___^ Like many others I was disappointed the Jinchuu arc was never brought to screen - the OVAs were rather dark in tone but to their credit, quite elegantly done. As for the ending - let's just say I find Kenshin is extremely likeable as a character, so I was rooting for a happy ending for the poor battousai - hence another reason I prefer the manga XD And yes, who doesn't love the "Oro!" XD

[Riginal]

The Kenshin anime isn't even any good until the Saitou shows up ; but the Kyoto arc is some of my favorite anime to watch .

I can't imagine watching the show dubbed at all . It's just so overly Japanese .

[Seta Soujiro]

Rurouni Kenshin is one of the best animes ever, the storyline is nice, characters are cool, and the artwork is great! Nobuhiro Watsuki-sensei is my fav manga-ka ever!!

[Alálà]

Where can I get to see the manga. I've always liked Rurouni Kenshin, but only got to see what was shown through CN/Toonami.

[Korin]

This is one of the greatest series ever I have seen every thing there is of rurouni kenshin.It has inspired me to some day when I'm older to move to japan to learn the art of sword.

[Starwind Amada]

Rurouni Kenshin by far is the most slow english dubbed airing anime. In CN they almost reached to the last season but suddenly they decided not to air it anymore and now they're airing it from the beginning and only saturdays @_@

First of all, there are series that aired slower than Kenshin, like DBZ and Pokemon. Oh, and Cartoon Network's contract for Kenshin has just run out, so starting next Saturday is an hour of GT.

[Starwind Amada]

Yeah i thought CN ruin. Hell they ruin everything. So I decided just to watch it on torrents. But the final fight between Kenshin and Shishio was alright in english althought the japanese version was WAYYYYYy better.

"CN ruins everything." Yeah, right. They've aired some of the best anime around, some of it almost uncut (GitS). They may edit it, but they're letting up on that, and at least they're not as bad as 4Kids.

And I actually agree with you on the second part, although I do like dubs.

[silent_speech]

rurouni kenshin was a good anime overall, i think. i really liked the shishio arc, and i was just dying to see the jinchuu arc animated a few years back but they never did it and instead put in 30 whole eps of fillers which i didn't even bother watching.

the only ova i actually liked was the memories one (when kenshin was still hitokiri battousai) because it was really well done. i didn't like seisouhen that much, because i was half hoping to at least see more of the jinchuu arc and beyond from that ova, but instead all we get is the fight between kenshin and enishi. oh, and if any of you want to know the true ending of rurouni kenshin, you'd better start reading the manga and it's specials; believe, you'll be way more satisfied in doing that than watching the ovas.

Coolest character imo was Hiko Seijuro (he is UNBEATABLE!!! All hail HIKO!!!) and Seta Sojiro (he is just so cool, i would love it if he gets his own manga out telling his story)

[Alálà]

I would really like to get more from rurouni kenshin than what was shown by cartoon network. Is there a bittorrent out there or any reliable sites I can check out to see the OVAs (particulary the one with Kenshin as the Battousai) and also manga scans?
...Anyone?

[Ephemeral]

Ive watched the anime and both read the manga, but I stopped I believe at..when Enishi? kidnapped...I forget her name.....Yeah, Ive watched it though and read it.

[darkspark]

haven't seen the anime series, though i heard it sucked. the movies were ok, but the manga was awesome. actually, even the first movies (well, combined into one movie now) trust/betrayal, i thought were different from the way Kenshin told it in the book... but the manga series is great ^_^

[Laiquelleion]

I was just wondering why you people disliked The OVA's so much. Were you just disappointed that you didn't get to see the jinchuu arc or what ??

[Nakashima]

Ruroni kenshin is what got me back into anime after a few years.. and im glad im back.

[craniumissues]

I read the entire comic series, but that was sorta a one-time thing and i hope to read it again, does anyone know where i can download the series or read online?

[princesstaco]

I used to be a really big Kenshin fangirl. Those were the days....
I even named my fish Jinchuu. :)

But you can only watch the series so many times... I moved on to Neon Genesis Evangelion and now Naruto. Maybe I'll watch it again when I get some time.

[DaShiouLong]

just finished this anime yesterday~ i have to say... the ending SUCKED
it seemed like they put all their effors in the first 70 episodes and let it die away with the last 25... hate to see a great anime end in such a bad way

[evil_kenshin]

i loved the anime series and ova's, but i didn't like the true final episode for the anime and also didn't like the ending of that ova where you see kenji, since no where in the manga does it state what happens to karou and kenshin at the end of that ova

[Hakuzo]

i love Kenshin. i like him better when he's the Battousai! :: major hot::

[DaShiouLong]

finished reading the manga today.. i have to say... manga owns the **** out of the anime~ they had a better story line after leaving shishio fight, if u guys only watched the anime i would highly recommend u to download the manga, its WAY BETTER

[Ephemeral]

Where is it possible to download the manga? I had up to the Enishi saga..but i rebooted and zip, it was gone =(

[DaShiouLong]

http://boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=102
Enishi is the last saga sadly to say but they do jump 5 years on the last chapter

[diDom]

Duuno how many would agree, but for me, it's best to disregard eps. 64 onward and watch Seisouhen instead of 64-95... the director changed and everything went crap.

[Basilimux]

Kenshin is great. I haven't read the manga, but I've seen the anime and I must say that the shishio arc was the greatest. The others were so so. lol! I was stuck in the middle of the shishio arc during exams, so didn't do so well on one of them. :(

[KoumaKyuuKetsuki]

A very kool anime Kenshin is the koolest and the fights arnt bad either never seen the whole series but almost.

[DragonNinja]

Hey.
Anybody watch Rurouni Kenshin? I am on episode 10 and find it really good.
What does everybody else think of it

[Vodrake]

If you're talking about the kenshin anime, you're posting this in the wrong forum :P

But yeah, i've watched 25 episodes of Kenshin and read the entire manga and it's still one of my favorites ever. Great characters, lots of humour and lots of action help make it a really great series.

[hokage0027]

The most complete and satisfying experience ever. I've read the entire manga, seeing the anime and the 2 OVAs and I still can't find anything as good as this gets. Keep watching and try to read the manga if you can. There's a whole new arc that they didn't put in the anime.

[hjkou]

my favourite anime/manga.

i have to tell you something though, even if youve watched all 95 eps (including that crappy filler arc), you havent really experienced kenshin
not until you watch the ova's : )

[SamuraiX]

it's really good. I like the rurouni kenshin series. My friends like the samurai x series. More blood and action. Kenshin rules!

[sanchain]

hey i recently learned that Rurouni Kenshin - Reminiscence is the best anime at the moment but it appears it is rather difficult to find because it has different names i suppose, could someone give me a link or two for the anime, and also to everyone that watched it i would like to know why you think it so great because from what i hear i don't think it's awesome...

[CABLE]

Are you talking about the OVAs that are when Kenshin was the Battousai or the ones that take place after the series?

[Ichigo_101]

uuhh.. "Où est Rurouni Kenshin" are you speaking French?

[sanchain]

i know some french, Ou est means where is and que means what, and i don't know which thing it is i believe i downloaded the right one just yesterday, ahhh..
http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,315,tjbtjv,rurouni_kenshin.html
that, go to the link i want to get that on DVD but it's rather difficult to find, im fairly sure because its got several different names, but if someone could send me a link to buy Reminiscence, that they know for sure is Reminiscence, please
thanks in advance

[Mindless]

That is the story about Kenshin before Ruruouni Kenshin. 8 years I think.

And as far as I know, Reminiscence only has one name, the one you wrote is probably the french translation of the OVA's original name.

...and you can get them here. (http://store.yahoo.com/animenation/dvd-anime-dvd--n---r--rurouni-kenshin.html)

(You never said where you live so I just took a 'common' place to buy anime DVD's from)

[DragonNinja]

lol soz i aint been agood member putting this in rong secttion


it rocks i downloaded an ova by accident and deleted it... didnt understand who ppl wer

[zgnoud]

heres my sugguestion, for anime watch 1->62. then stop, after that read the manga storyline that follows what was left over of episode 62 (shishio's demise). The reason of this is that when they made the anime 63-95 were "fake" episodes created by produces b/c the anime caught up to the manga and thus b/c of the explosion of popularity the produces chucked in some wacky and stupid storyline that just plainly sucks, as a result the best arc in the whole series of rurouni kenshin was never animated. but honestly i really sugguest you read the manga chapters that were after episode 63 of anime. OR. a second sugguestion is to watch Samurai X (trust/betrayal) after watching episode 63. Samura IS Rurouni kenshin, it was just named that way so it felt more appealing to american audience. samurai X dipicts the past of kenshin. after you watch that follow with the manga, as the manga will follow off nicely after samurai x. trust me ;) its worth it

[Ichigo_101]

Hey any one know where I can dl Kenshin Ova direct dl? I tried with bittorrent but no seeds.........=/

[CABLE]

If you have only seen the anime, trust me on this one, READ THE MANGA!!! I love the anime(1-62) but the manga is also amazing. Don't just read 18-28 for the Jinchuu Arc if you seen all of the anime. I saw the entire anime then read the manga and i thought the manga was better. Just something about it. You can't put it down or in my case you can't minimize it. I actually recomend though if you haven't seen the anime, watch the dubbed version. Mainly due to Kenshin's voice. His japanese voice sounds too girly and it's inferior to Richard Cansino's voice in my opinion. The first 4 OVAs are awesome when he's the battousai then the 5th one is semi-cool since he fights Enishi but its just a sad attempt to animate the jinchuu arc. But don't even touch the 6th OVA, it is utter crap. It is totally pseudo-kenshin, he doesn't act like himself one bit and the mood in general is depressing. Anime(1-62) 9/10 Manga 10/10

[DragonNinja]

its a great show i love it!!! Anyone else know another show likeit?

I quite preferred the japanese seiyuu to the english dubs, mainly because the anti-thesis of the character of kenshin was done extremely well by the voice.

Yeah the second OVA series wasnt done by any of the original creators or anything was it? In my books its not official and Kenshin didnt die ^^

[kakashie-sensei]

i have two questions
1). how many episodes are there ?
2). isn't this supposed to be the tv version of Samurai X ?

[Vodrake]

i have two questions

1) 95 episodes and 2(?) OVA's
2) Samurai X is the name given to the OVA's of Rurouni Kenshin. I think it only became Samurai X when it was dubbed though.

okay thnx you very much for the information

[FullMetalSamurai]

I only watched the Reminiscence for the moment..found it pretty interesting so im thinking about continuing the series, but one question, is manga better than the anime? I hear that the anime ended pretty badly..

[Vodrake]

Yes, the manga is wayyyyyyy better than the anime if you look at it in terms of storyline. The anime missed out possibly the best arc in the series because it caught up to the manga, and so the last 30 or so episodes of the anime are filler.
Also, the anime ended with Kenshin dying of a disease. The greatest swordsman ever, kicking the bucket from the flu?!!! Man, that annoyed me.:mad The manga has a much better and happier ending in my opinion.

[rokkudaime]

i think i saw most of the episodes and i have to say that it is one of the best animes ive ever seen.

[ワッレン]

I still have not seeen anything as cool as the Amakakeru ryu no hirameki ! Teh coolest move so far, the mutsu enmei ryu ougi is close behind and as weell as rasengan! BUT kenshin is just hte ultimate in power! i watche all eps and movie and avo;s
the reminiscence is the beest ova and maybe anime ever made! seishohen wass shit and the movie was so so!

i have the manga but i have not read it yet! where should i start reading it?

[lemurian_prince]

love the series, it's awesome, i own all three arcs and all the OVA on dvd, although the third arc was quite a dissapointment to the series, it is still bearable and some episodes are incredibly funny too, just don't expect the emotional aspects and character developments to be present in this third arc, and i must say, it has the lamest ending to this wonderful show EVER...and i hope many who have seen the third arc will agree.

I have, also the entire third arc and half of the second arc on original manga, and for all hard core fans of RK, i definately recommend getting your hands on the manga for the third and final arc, more character development, great story (for those that don't know, it focuses on the return of tomoe's brother seeking revenge, hence titled the revenge arc) and the ending was great as well, albeit a little sad in my opinion, but still a great ending to this wonderful series
and DO get the third OVA 'reflection' it's soooo beautiful, although a word of caution, if you don't like to cry, don't watch it.....i hope i haven't spoiled it, but instead made you guys wanna watch it :smile-big

Try here (http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=kenshin). It has all the episodes up for bittorrent download. However, the files are quite large, (about 5.5 GB per 25 episodes).
Oh and if you just want to generally discuss Kenshin check out this thread:http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=5566

No problem.
Just use the "download never" option on bittorrent (or is that only bittornado?) and just choose the episodes you want to download.

[santubong]

(download never) ??.. mmm im using bitcomet .. how ? :)

[Vodrake]

I don't know whether Bit Comet has it, but with Bit Tornado, there's a details screen you can call up which shows what percentage of each episode has downloaded. On there, you can right click on an episode and set the priority of it, including choosing not to download it.

[santubong]

ok done ! ... 1 more thxs man .... :)

[CABLE]

I made this connection between the 2 shows although it is subtle it may hold true. In Rurouni Kenshin, Makoto Shishio's sword is called Mugenjin, and the 2 main characters in Samurai Shamploo are named, Mugen and Jin. Now this is probably a mere coinsidence seeing as though Shishio's sword doesn't really have any significance to the series, but I just thought it was kind of interesting seeing as RK and SC are both samurai animes. Anyone else notice this?

[Kepa]

there are a lot of hints (jokes) towards other shows in samurai champloo....and kenshin was quite popular....
But besides them both being eh.. fighter (kenshin and mugen never were samurai as far as I kn)w... I don't see more ressemlblances

[CrYsYs]

I dunno....but champloo and kenshin are way different from each other

[Kyuubi_Xx]

Could be. The shows are quite different, however, aside from the main characters being samurai. I doubt RK inspired Champloo, but it's possible...

Oh, and thanks for reminding me on the Mugenjin thing. Nearly forgot the name of his sword... you're a bad fan, Kyuubi! Bad! :blink

[kurisawa]

i've seen all of it except the last OAV with his son. stupid thing didnt play on my computer

[dspr8_rugged]

I've been a sucker for ninja and samurai animes. Before Naruto, I've watched Rurouni Kenshin, which is a great series, IMO. Great story, very exciting fight scenes with a little comedy on the side.

And I watched the whole series four times. That's how I liked it.

Aside from the series, I've also seen the movie and the OVAs. I can't remember how it went, though since it's been three years since I saw it. Oh well, I guess I just have to watch it again.

[BattousaiMS]

I think you mean who was watched it.

I have the whole collection, anime, movies, ovas, manga, swords (real ones).

[greymeister]

I don't think I've posted in this thread, RK was the first anime I could bare to watch and it got me to where I watched more, whcih of course brings me to this site today :D

It's funny, the first 3 anime shows I ever saw were on the one toonami lineup after classes ended around 4:00 pm where I live, it was DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, and RK, which we always figured "save the best for last" (hell even the Toonami guy said it lol). Now I've really gottten to like Hakusho as well.

Anyway, here's my contribution to the thread heheh, my favorite character probably of all time, Saito Hajime.

[Mido Ban]

one of my fave anime.. but now.. i dont like it.. i hate samurais hehe

The Kyoto Arc is the best in the anime. I wish they made the Jinchuu Arc (manga only) for the anime, too.
The 2 OVAs are awesome!! :smile-big

i have the manga but i have not read it yet! where should i start reading it?

Read the manga from the begining.

[Akirou]

the dub just made me throw up for hours. Kenshin sounded more feminine in the dub that in the sub, which I find really sad since his seiyuu was a woman in Japan.

If you haven't watched this yet, watch the sub before you ever touch the dub. If possible don't touch that dub period.

[spinstate]

I really can't compare since I haven't seen the original Japanese episodes, but the TV dub I saw on Animax was decent enough.

[Ginnylin]

I dont know how people can handle watching dubbed versions of things.. i recently had to suffer through a few episodes of GTO dubbed in cantonese.. and it was horrible.

Anyway, Kenshin was awesome.. yes 3rd arc did suck ALOT.
I own the series and the OVAs. Something you can watch over and over again.. Some of the storyline is a bit repetitive though.. I want them to make a spinoff of the yrs when he was actually hitokiri battousai... that'd be damn awesome.

[Shinobi Mugen]

Could someone please give a link to a torrent of the first Kenshin OVA? I can't find it anywhere.

Don't think you can find them in torrent. Best chance is to buy or rent at your local anime stores or look for it on Kaazaa.

You can still find the torrent at www.snarf-it.org

Where are you guys getting your Kenshin, and does anyone know where i can get the dub versions, except boxtorrents and anime-supreme even real one player versions are welcome.

Well you can always by the DVD's which are dirt cheap these days. Or buy the season collections, I think their are two of them, each one is $60 in stores. $120 for Kenshin is a good deal because Kenshin is really good and encouraged me to watch more samurai animes and just more anime. I do hate some of the music in Kenshin, but dubbing always sucks most of the time.

The Kenshin Box sets are really nice, I have the seasons 1&2 on the nice boxsets. i got a deal on the first one for $70 brand new on ebay then the Legend of Kyoto my grandma bought me so luckily i din't have to pay $120. Its funny when i watch the trailers they have on the discs for other animes done by either Media Blasters or Anime Works, I'm not sure which it is but damn! they really lucked out on getting RuroKen, cuz all the other animes they aquired are pretty bad and what you would call C-List excluding Berserk. they have classic titles such as Twin Signal, Zenki, Magic Users Club, Knight Hunters, and more! the classics just keep on rollin' in for them. ha!

Wow, that is a really good deal. I don't really trust eBAy these days, its just me. Are the box sets have uncut scenes?

I am getting the seasons in a few weeks, gotta work for it. :blink

The RK boxsets are 100% uncut. For spoken languages you have a choice between English, English with subtitles(not dubtitles), Japanese, and Japanese with subtitles(not dubtitles). Liner notes in the Special Features explaining and translating certain things of Japanese that aren't usually familiar with an American audience. Fan Art. and theres mores stuff aswell.

[CABLE]

Does anybody know where i can get the Rurouni Kenshin special where they go over all the different Hiten Mitsurugi moves? It on a few RuroKen websites that there were 2 RK specials never realeased in the US. One was a recap of the first season i think and then the other was something where they went over all the HMR moves. Does anybody know where i could get this special?

[Korin]

A better question would be who hasn't watched it.

[me_is_david]

Haha if you asked that a month ago I would've said "I haven't"

I borrowed it all from my friends shop...he told me to skip 3rd arc..i watched a little the it got retarded (after the Amakusa Shougo part)

But yup..I only watched it recently and finished Trust/Betrayal and Reflections about 2 weeks ago.
Enishi Yukishiro is one of my favorite characters...wish he appeared more in the series T_T

[Id]

Seijuro Hiko, Rurouni Kenshin, Shinomori Aoshi, Saito Hajime, Makoto Shishio, Seta Soujiro, they all kick so much ass.

[Lightningdwd]

Kenshin is pretty kewl!! :D

just that I never got much passed the Feng-Shuei guy... it stopped showing here in Portugal :sad

[~Spike~]

I've seen it. Enjoyed it. The thing is though, once you've seen it a few times, you don't want to see it anymore. You only look at it when you're in a certain mood. (so much for replay value)

Anyways, my favorite character(s) has to be Aoshi, Shishio, and Hiko.

I've seen the 1st 2 arcs, and trying to get my hands on the 3rd. (I don't care if you say it sucked. It's something I'd have to see for myself.) I have some of the VHS copies as well as the movie. (heh, can't get away from old school) And I have Trust and Betrayal and Reflections on DVD.

[BarbNara]

I loved the manga, and the first and second seasons.
My favourite: Aoshi, Saito and Ebishi ^^.

The music in the anime was awesome, BTW

[endgame]

I'm quite the opposite, I never get bored of it. :laugh My favourite characters are Kenshin, Soujiro, Saito and Tomoe. (I really hated Kaoru, for some reason.)

I got my Kenshin off a friend who bought it online. After she bought it she realised they were fansubbed and that she could've downloaded them for free. :notrust

[Rakumaru]

Ok anyone know where I can find a torrent or direct download for the series and or the movie (Samurai X). I watched it on cartoon network a long time ago, but I really wanna watch it again >.<

4 ovas you can get them at Anime Supreme

[Ichigo_101]

I dont really like the last 2 ovas

[sayam]

this is one good anime, at least up til' after shishio/kyoto arc.
love the series but love the OVA trust and betrayal even more, probobly the best OVA ever made IMO.
And Hiko Seijuro is da man.

[Diaketh]

Kind of borrowing the thread here.

Does anyone know which episode the 2nd Kenshin vs Aoshi fight, as well as Aoshi vs Okina.

But honestly though, Kenshin is probably one of my favorite anime. And I love the manga too.

[Even]

does anybody know where I can download Rurouni Kenshin episodes in Japanese w/ English subs??

[hobofromdowntown]

nope, i was wondering the same thing

[Uchiha_Sasuke_12]

i remember having a week long marathon and going through the three seasons and the ova's. i still haven't watched reflections. i must admit the episodes past 62 are kinda....well different, but whatever....i say watchem all!!! i think i watched samurai deeper kyo right after and just loved the chance to see another way of explaining the edo times.

the episodes 63-95 are all crap filler. I just finished the manga recently and i have to say, i really would have been amazing to see the Jinchuu arc animated.

[Lesca]

[CABLE]

no, direct anime download sites aren't very common, and it would be hard to find out that hosts an older anime like RK.

[Sharingan_18]

Does anybody know a side where I can download the episodes direct ?
Best thing to do is get RK by using Bittorrent. I think it's too old to actually direct-download it.

[Lesca]

even not in Rm ?
but Bit Torrent is too slow T_T
One episode nedds twentyfour hours...

[Errorsol]

Best thing to do is get RK by using Bittorrent. I think it's too old to actually direct-download it.

Or using IRC, I know the anime-supreme channel has all the episodes in dual audio .ogm files.

[crystal-kay]

I've watched this five years ago. For me, it was what got me return to the anime craze.

The series starts of pretty well and until the end of the Kyoto Arc then everything just flew south. Best fight scene: Saitou Hajime and Himura Kenshin's. Though Kenshin seriously bores me with his long winding speeches.

[Lesca]

@Errorlsol: And how can I use IRC ?

One of my roommates just after I got out of college had the first half of that on DVDs and the Cowboy Bebop collection. I remember watching non-subbed, non dubbed bootlegs of things like Akira and Vampire HD with my friends in highschool. But anyway, because of those DVDs, I started getting into anime again, then forgot about it for another couple years. When I realized I could download the rest of RK, I decided I might as well pick up Bebop and Trigun as well. That, of course, was not enough and so Samurai Champloo was next followed by Naruto and Bleach.

[Sasuke X]

The first 40 or so episodes were great. Just a shame the series, for me at least, started to go downhill towards the end of the Kyoto arc. After that, we got treated to fillers so awful that I believe forced the show to end early.

The OVAs are amazing. They put the series to shame. It's no surprise Trust & Betrayal are top of the AnimeNfo top 200 anime list. I ordered Samurai X: The Collection as soon I'd watched everything related to Kenshin.

[hjkou]

3rd arc was like.. a fucking filler, i only enjoyed it because of the pwnage kenshin did ;D

series.. wouldve ranked like #2 on my anime ranking..
but then series + tsukiohen and seisouhen OVA's easily takes #1

you cant say youve seen all of kenshin unless youve seen the OVA's too.. they pretty much complete the story (although tsukiohen doesnt follow the manga ending.. imo was a better ending anyway, animation was beatiful.. so old yet better than animes out now)

[qui]

hated the last ova, was too sad and since i didnt watch the whole anime dunno the story surrounding the scar.

[Bleachsuki]

wait question. are the OVA episodes after the whole manga arc? i heard that the OVA has to do with kenshins son or something? or am i wrong? is it the continue of the manga?

OVA's are beginning and end, telling the story of Kenshin's first love and the origin of his infamous scar. Then they also condense the jinchuu arc with Enishi and then it wraps up the the story of Kenshin in a memorable ending. :crying

[Sesqoo]

Could you guys clear one thing up for me.

There Kenshin 1-95 eps.
There is Samurai X: Reflection(2 episodes)
There is Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal(4 episodes)
Samurai X: The Motion Picture (the movie)

Is there anything more then this?:S

[Ruri]

I loved the series until the end of the Kyoto arc. After that, the fillers turned me off, even though I watched them anyway. The OVAs were breathtaking. The art was so beautiful, and the story made me cry rivers. ;_;

[peachyqtz]

-First OVA was awesome.
-Second OVA was too sad. I didn't like the way they ended it.
-Series is nice. Since that's where I got hooked. But it got pwned by the first OVA.
-Didn't bother watching the movie. Doesn't look promising to me. :)

All in all, I love RK.

[Christen]

RK was my first obsession. ^^

Rurouni Kenshin series - I liked them even for a few differences in the manga. The only filler season I appreciated was the Shougo arc. Everything after that (medicine arc and whatnot) didn't really sate my hunger for RK.

Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen - Best RK ever. Although the theme of the show was darker than the manga (Jinchuu arc flashback), it is really definitely worth watching.

Rurouni Kenshin: Seisou Hen - Well done but I really don't like the ending. ^^; Manga ending was better.

Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi no Requiem - Good story. ^^ Very nice animation. Average for a movie. The way Shigure died is just plain nuts. I mean, he coud have just snatched Toki away from the gunshots. He wasn't that really injured.

[Fighting Spirit]

I JUST WATCHED THE REMINISENCE OVA and OMFG!!!

It almost made me wana kill myself, that's how freaking AWESOME it is!

To describe it with one word;

Godly.

[The Uchiha Wrath]

RK just rocks totally, I loved it, it's too bad the anime didn't follow the manga though :(

The part at which everyone parts and kenshin gives up during the jinchuu arc was just beautifully made, I kinda loved Aoshi after he fixed things up :P

Saitou rocks and the definition of god in the dictionary is Hiko Seijiro ;)

[nessa17]

rurouni kenshin is
my first obsessed about anime.
Woot
i just love sanosuke
to bad they always made
him seem really weak
that and they shiped him off to china

[Kin_no_Hikari]

THe show rocks but I haven't been able to watch it. But every time I get my hands on some money I demand that my Dasd go and take me to buy a book.

My favorite character is Enishi Yukishiro.

[Seany]

I still have to watch the kyoto arc :)

[Espada Grimmjaw]

This show kicks ass... Hiten Mitsurugi Style Bitches!

[Phatshady912]

Could someone help me out? I have the show in .ogg (So I can watch it in english or jap and with or without subs) So should I watch the dub, or the sub?

I really don't know which I will like more. For instance I have watched Naruto and Bleach in sub, and loved them both (I cant even watch the naruto dub after 178 episodes of sub, it makes me cringe)

But I also watched DBZ and Berserk in dub and loved those 2 series too.

It seems like whichever way I watch a series first will be the way that I always watch it so... is the sub significantly better or should I watch the dub?

[Tiesto422]

ive watched trigun, bepop, hunter x hunter, naruto, bleach, fma, and one piece. i loved them all. so i started rk and im up to 21 in the anime and ive gotta say this anime is horribly overrated. the cheese factor is very high, but i can stand it if there are other redeeming qualities, but the plot is weak (like naruto fillers weak), the characters are weak except for kenshin, the fights are either weak or just don't make any sense, and the complete reliance on kenshin is laughable. someone recommended the manga instead of the anime, so i might give that a shot, but meh... i don't see what the hype is all about. :notrust

"I could never figure out if the characters were supposed to have special powers, of is the writers just cheated at lot and made it look like they did."

me either, there's like no basis for the incredible difference in ability. so it makes you think there's special powers... but do they ever explain how it works?

[crazymtf]

Sorry but if you think this is weak compared to trigun i don't want to waste my time -_-

[Tiesto422]

looks like you already did :huh

Things start getting really interesting when the kyoto arc starts. I think it begins at episode 28. Everything you mentioned about the show just now will change once you watch that arc.

[Tiesto422]

28 episodes is quite a chunk of time, i usually give an anime 20 episodes to hook me... but i guess ill take your word for it and keep going, but you better be right or ill :bang you lolz

[crazymtf]

Ep 1-64 of RK, any of those eps. Owns all of trigun. How the ell could you even like trigun? On the other hand Hunter X Hunter owns :P

[Gene]

28 episodes is quite a chunk of time, i usually give an anime 20 episodes to hook me... but i guess ill take your word for it and keep going, but you better be right or ill :bang you lolz
lol. Don't worry, you won't regret it. ;)

[Tiesto422]

i dunno, i would say that vash carried that whole anime from start to finish. i guess i just liked vash the character moreso than the anime itself.

[crazymtf]

Vash...either a love it or hate it character...you can guess what i thought :P

[Phatshady912]

Yes the Kyoto arc is where the show really picks up. Even though I enjoyed the wandering samurai arc anyway. I even like the tales of the meiji arc...lol. Even though it is filler it is leaps and bounds ahead of naruto fillers.

I ended up watching it in Jap with subs and it is now one of my top 3 favorite anime :)

[JediJaina]

Kenshin is my favorite anime. Even so I still don't like the second OVA story as it wasn't too truthful to the manga as it could have been.

[Catterix]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I havent been able to read all of this thread in case of spoilers.

Does anyone know what chapter of the Manga is when the anime finished? So what chapter of the manga equals ep 64?

[BakaKage]

I'm not sure as to what chapter exactly but I do believe the ending of the Kyoto arc (Shishio Arc) and the start of Junchuu arc (Revenge Arc) end and start respectively on volume 18.

[Catterix]

Cool thanks :)

That's also really helpful as I'm thinking of actually buying the Manga Volumes (I got the first 4 but stopped because... I just did :S)

[BakaKage]

yea, I've been buying the Viz volumes too, I have til v21 and I'm planning to complete it soon. The last volume releases next month which is v28.

[JediJaina]

Yeah Vol 18 is the last of the Kyoto arc and in the anime episode 63 is considered the end of the Kyoto arc. In the anime, Tales of the Meiji starts at 64, but is not in the manga. One of the stories, however is in an official RK novel coming out soon in English.

Hope that is helpful.

[Catterix]

Yeah, that's very helpful, thanks alot :D

I'm now on episode 48 of the anime (Bought the DVD set) and was planning on stopping on the final canon episode and move straight onto the manga, and then return to the filler episodes another time lol.

[Jack Bauer]

Yea I have VIZ volume 25. Can anyone tell me when the Enishi arc starts.

[JediJaina]

I believe it's the end of Vol 18 going into Vol 19.

[Jack Bauer]

Oh good. Now I know :D

*runs to Barnes and Noble*

[JediJaina]

Speaking of Kenshin - is anyone going to San Diego Comic Con to meet Watsuki (the creator)?

[Catterix]

I really, really, REALLY want to. And then maybe we could tlak about getting the final arc animated... I mean, he still has the rights, he will do until 2007 (Anime rights last for a decade apparantly) and it would be so awesome to be animated.... But I can't... coz I live in England lol

[mad-ass]

I actually don't like the serie at all, I've watched till ep 17.
That Kenshin dude is just too good and kind-harted, he's like Goku in DBZ or any other western action hero.
When he's kicking some bad guys ass and not killing him, I'm like : "Gimmy a Break!!"
It's a kind of a serie I always hope the bad guys win.

[Corum]

I've just finished reading the manga and words can't describe its greatness!

I wouldn't mind watching the anime so can anyone point me in the direction of the best website to download (preferably subbed) episodes?

Thanks.

http://www.ex.org/4.1/images/title_ruroken.gif

From the end of the XVIII century, Japan had to solve serious problems of foreign and inner politics: on one side, the pressure of foreign powers, in particular from America, obliged the emperorto break off with his isolationist attitude and to open to the western world; on the other, numerous popular putsches started on a revolutionary process that took to the end of the shogun of Tokugawa. In this period of conflicts and bloody fights, a man distinguished himself for his pitiless violence, the samurai Battosai Himura. He was nicknamed the killer samurai because his reprisal consisted in cutting in two whoever met on it's way. It was his blood-soaked sword to inaugurate the new Meiji age. With the end of the revolt, Battosai disappeared from the circulation, but it's name remained in the legend like example of limitless force.
Now Himura has decided to abandon the Battosai name and he is called Kenshin. He's in continuous wandering for the entire Japan, and he always carries with him a reverse-blade sword, that if used as a normal sword it cannot cut anything. His wondering takes him to Tokyo, and it's here in the capital that the Battosai will newly make talk about him...

http://kenshin.gamesurf.it/immagini/utility/logo.gif


These are the first words that exit from the pen of the great Nobuhiro Watsuki when introducing the protagonist of this fascinating manga: KENSHIN, WANDERING SAMURAI (RUROUNI KENSHIN). It is an historical manga, where the invented vicissitudes of the protagonist find as background the history and the personages of Japan of the Meiji age, with their contradictions and the difficulties of a fundamental period of the Japanese history.

well that's very kind of you waydorr.... thank you.

And lol now i get it...u're making a 3d image of kenshin? I thought something completely different lol.

btw i'll be waiting to see ur work mate..i'm a big fan of Kenshin!!

[BladeofTheChad]

Of Rurouni Kenshin? because it was the shit...and i want to see it animated...

[Molekage]

its been years since kenshin was finished... i wish they would but i doubt it

its just like wanting the rest of ranma to be animated :(

[BladeofTheChad]

i know its been years, but i wants it bad...

[Captain Pimp]

Well, technically the fight between kenshin and Enishi was animated in the Reflections OVA. But that's about it for animating part of Jincuu arc...=/

[Gene]

Seeing the Jinchuu arc animated would truly be amazing, but I don't think they will. They would have done it by now already if they could've.

[BladeofTheChad]

old animes get picked up again sometimes...and old mangas take a while soemtimes to even get an anime...Hajime no Ippo comes to mind.

[Captain Pimp]

There might be hope for the jinchuu arc to be animated. Hellsing anime got off to a bad start, but now the OVA kicked in and goes according to manga :knk

[kyutofukumaki]

I watched Ruroni Kenshin when it came out until it ended.

[ShinobiAaron]

So I remember reading somewhere that the best arc of rurouni kenshin wasnt actually animated. I mean i realized that pretty much everything after shishio had to be filler cause it wasnt up to kenshin standards before that. So if not everything was animated, why did they waste their time making all those fillers to have nothing after them, and what all wasn't animated?
Thanks

[Tri-edge101]

I would like to object right there. Shishio was not a filler. The rest of the show was fillers. Read the manga to understand why shishio was not a filler. There's alot to explain for shishio's Story. mostly cause he wanted to take over all of japan. It's kind of hard to explain. Read the manga yourself to understand. Now making the fillers part was the creators idea. He wanted to show what they were doing back then in those time and what they did in their spare times. so mostly giving us a funny and better history lesson on japan. In books like 18-28 those were already animated. How you might ask? Samurai X. Which was all about his past, and then his fight with his step-brother enishi. And then after vol 28 what happens to kenshin, kenji, karou and everyone else. So yeah pretty much all that. There is one thing the creator did only for japan and that's Yahiko no sakabatou. Which was after 28 when kenshin gave yahiko his sword and mostly it's him and kenshin's sword. Anymore Questions you need to ask?

[ShinobiAaron]

I realize shishio wasn't a filler...thas why i said everything after him was. What i don't completely understand is what all i missed if i dont read the manga. I own the box set and Samurai x reflections and the kenshin movie that has the same art style as the anime..oh and the samurai x that is all about his relationship with tomoe. So what is this about him having a half brother? OH and also in the very first opening with the song "freckles" when it shows a bunch of kenshins enemies, i recognize all of them except the fourth one...who is that?...

[Gene]

Just read the manga. :3

First OP... fourth one... that's Raijuta (http://www.arcticnightfall.com/kenshin/characters.php?name=raijuta&group=bg).

[ShinobiAaron]

Really?...wow...didn't look like him to me...oh well...how much manga is there to read after the shishio arc?

[Gene]

10 volumes.

[ShinobiAaron]

Alright, cool, thanks. But what i still don't understand is why they didnt animate it. Is it like FMA and they caught up to the manga so they just decided to go their own way?

[Shishigami]

Alright, cool, thanks. But what i still don't understand is why they didnt animate it. Is it like FMA and they caught up to the manga so they just decided to go their own way?

Because the fillers ran so long, fans began to lose interest, the ratings went down, and that was the end of it. No ratings. No budget. No Kenshin :(

[The Anti-Existence]

i Well, I started to watch it. I love it.

The show is very interesting and the dub is pretty much perfect. I recognize a lot of the voices from the Xenosaga games and those games (minus EPII) had basically an all-perfect cast of voices.

Kenshin doesn't sound the least bit feminine. Soft-spokena nd reflective yes, but not girly.

So yeah, it's pretty awesome.

[Enishi]

Hi :3

There is one thing the creator did only for japan and that's Yahiko no sakabatou.

Nope. In Spain (And, by extent I suppouse France) it was relesed along with volume 28 (It was published as a whole... you get volume 28, and the last few pages, instead of being the original ending, are Yahiko no Sakabatou).

What it wasn't released outside of japan were 6 colored pages that happens after yahiko sakabatou, in where they talk about the kenshingumi (it's some kind of picnic, with Kenshin, Kaoru, Kenji and Yahiko. Aoshi and Misao joins later (aoshi has a new look). Then they talk about Saito (Who was working at hokkaido IIRC) and Sano (Who was in china, long hair, beard and tiger cap included... like we see him in the last 2 Kenshin OVAS (Wich, BTW I totally hate :3... It's the only piece of Kenshin animation I didn't bought... ending not approved by Watsuki = do not want, thanks :3!)).

And that's it :3.

PD: BTW, They could pull a Hellsing and re-animate the series till shishio (but everything condensed.... let's say 1 OVA for Sano and Jin-E parts, 1 OVA for Aoshi and Raijuta parts, and 2 or 3 OVAS for Kyoto arc....). And, then, Do the Jinchuu Arc :3!!!! (4 OVAS maybe : D). For a grand total of... say, 8 OVAS????. Maybe they can condese it more... but bleh!... They can do as they want as long as it's done!! :3!.

[The Anti-Existence]

Man...the scene with the Oniwaban giving their life to protect Kenshin and Leadr against the dick with the gattling gun...I was choking. All I could do not to cry. >>

[Tri-edge101]

here's you little gift for you guys. question to you guys. Why am i showing this again? Because i'm giving it to you to download for free.....textless.

Although DBZ was my "gateway" anime, the first fansubs I ever watched were Kenshin, EVA, Naruto, InuYasha and Hellsing.

Well, technically the fight between kenshin and Enishi was animated in the Reflections OVA. But that's about it for animating part of Jincuu arc...=/

I know. I wish someone would do it in the near future, so that it might be possible to have all, or at least most, of the original voice cast in on it. The manga had easily enough material for another whole season.

[Rolling~Star]

holy fuck there's a thread like this :wtf

[Panda人]

from what i recall kenshin is no8 on my all time fav anime list.

Indeed. Having just finished the anime, I totally agree with this.
I want that final arc. I just feel so...disappointed. No climax or closure at all with that last arc left out.

[Tre_azam]

i really liked kenshin up until the last few episodes...seemed like they gave up or couldnt think of anything decent to end it.

[ditn]

Last arcs are filler,after shishio or how its written the anime is all filler.there is however still an manga arc after this one whos never been animated.:amazed

[Sasori-puppet#296]

The last OVA has parts of it animated. But it ruins the manga ending.

[IchiTenshou]

Kenshin is one of the best Sumurai anime ever

[Lo$tris]

^ totally agree, I remember that I was hooked with the show. Though I prefer the dark theme of the first OVAs rather than the TV-series.

The last OVA has parts of it animated. But it ruins the manga ending.

Indeed. I still don't recognise this as the official ending. I rather believe that Kenshin lived happily with Kaoru rather than died doing charity!

[Table]

Ah, finally found this thread!

I just started watching the anime, I really like it so far ( I'm on like episode 6).

[Phoenix Wright]

I wish they made the jinchuu arc, that's one of my faves.

[Dr. Maturin]

Perhaps my favorite anime of all time, definelty top 3.

[kenny0o0]

anyone know where we can download this anime? =P

[Dream Brother]

If only they had made the final arc. Such a (mostly) great series completely deserved that great send-off, and it never got it.

Sucks.

[LivingHitokiri]

they actually killed kenshin in ova(dunno why) unlike the manga ending..i think they wanted to add more drama to the series.
Anyway Rurouni kenshin is one of the best series out there i highly recommend it(my fav XD)

[Namikaze Kakashi]

I've seen and read it all! Its my favourite series of all times and its timeless: Sanosuke Sagara is my fav character, but since this show is so awesome its hard not to like in some way the other characters as well.
Shishio is just the best villain, and his subordinates are so well made that it makes the show just even more awesome on the level of how the variety comes together to the single goal of destruction and rebellion.

Rurouni Kenshi...simply the best.
