      During the violent era known as the Bakumatsu, there was an Ishin assassin known only as the

      Hitokiri Battousai, whose skill and brutality became near legendary in the age of Restoration he

      helped to build. However, as the time of fighting drew to a close, he vanished without a trace,

      only to resurface eleven years later as a wandering swordsman, Himura Kenshin. Now staying at a

      kenjutsu dojo maintained by a fiery-tempered woman named Kamiya Kaoru, and surrounded by newfound

      friends like the streetfighter Sagara Sanosuke, ex-samurai's son Myoujin Yahiko, and the shrewd

      doctor Takani Megumi, he seeks to carry out his vow to protect the weak without killing in order

      to atone for the lives he's taken. It's not long, though, before this vow is put to the test, and

      the shadows of his past return to haunt him and everyone he holds dear.

            C'mon Zephos, I know u got more to say than that. I remember reading your view of RK awhile ago, quite brutal (and funny too).

                When did I roast Kenshin…

                I mean, I really don't care for it, but I don't recall letting it all out somewhere...

                  Maybe he means in the "Why is Naruto More Popular than One Piece" (I think that was the name) thread? You expressed some dislike for it there if I recall.

                    luwis, did you upload all of this, along with the whole One Piece series? If so, do some more. Give me Prince of Tennis.

                      Perhaps it's just because of nostalgia, or just to tease Zephos, but to me Kenshin is up there as one of my favourite _shounen_s. I know, that's not a big praise but I like how the hero is an actual adult and the whole series has a taste of melancholy in it. And it ends well, the creator knew when to end it instead of dragging it forever.

                        I thought Kenshin was the best thing ever when I first watched it, but my recent rewatch tells me otherwise. ❤ OVAs though.

                        Oh well, it's basically the anime that got me started. Gogogo Toonami!

                          I always thought Kenshin was a very good and fun series. I loved how crazy and creative some of the designs were, for a samurai series.

                              I always wanted to read the Jinchu arc, but I never got around to it.

                              From what I got from thumbing through books at Borders, Sannosuke's dad was awesome

                                Jinchu was all over the place…
                                The fights sucked....but the flashback was very good, and Vol.24 was awesome, and yes, Sanosuke's visit home kicked ass.

                                Of course I think all Kenshin fights suck. Except maybe the final duel with Shishio.

                                As for my feelings of Kenshin, I was only thoroughly unimpressed after the first read through (did I mention I bought them all as they were coming out?).
                                Then after reading both Lone Wolf and Cub and Vagabond......well......yhea...
                                Its like "What the fuck was that???".
                                All Kenshin had in my eyes after reading it was "interesting period piece with swords". So once that dissapeared nothing was left.

                                  I thought the series had cool villains. I especially liked the ones in the Jinchu arc. Gein's design was my favorite.

                                  And I still don't see how it was ever supposed to be a "gekiga" (or whatever you want to call it) series like Lone Wolf and Cub in the first place. Just a fighting series with a samurai theme.

                                    I never said it was supposed to be a Gegika.
                                    I wasn't comparing thier school of manga, but thier samurainess.

                                      I thought you were comparing them as "period pieces" and a gekiga would be more realistic and historical and all that. Sorry, I worded it badly.

                                      By the way, have you read any Path of the Assassin yet?

                                        Nope.
                                        Buying all 28 LW&C's has kept me off starting new series for awhile.
                                        Just Vagabond,Berserk,and OP right now.

                                              Ugh, the Rurouni Kenshin anime got shot in the head by those horrible fillers. I always really liked RuroKen, the Jinchu arc was great, Sanosuke's dad and Enishi were really cool. Plus, RuroKen got me into manga, and was the first series I ever completed.

                                                  Ok seriously, it isn't that difficult to find dd links of popular manga any more. http://www.anime-eden.com/page/manga/rurounikenshin/series.html

                                                  Also there's the manga request thread.

                                                      May I ask what chapter Carter? I downloaded one also, and then promptly saved the page I wanted. It was the one with Sanosuke and the unconscious yakuza army he'd just beaten the crap out of.

                                                            Kenshin is a really good series and I love it. I'm only got up to Vol.15 so far. But I'm planning to complete the series soon as I can. Since I just love adventures of Kenshin and the gang. I personally love any of Saito's, Sanouske's, and Aoshi's fights.

                                                                                          They should keep the whole violence of the flashback though.. even if they must go black and white, or something.

Seeing the opening video to the PSP game in all it's beautiful HD glory made me want to see Kenshin animated like that. I'll look forward to whatever they produce

All the canon stuff before the Shishio Makoto arc was fillerized, they dumbed down the Raijuuta mini-arc, not to mention fillers characters popping up all the time.

                                                                                                    But yeah, i don't think they'll remake the whole thing. I mean, it's 28 volumes...is RK THAT popular in Japan?

                                                                                                        Well…if you mean the 40 or so episodes that actually followed the manga, then yes, heh. All the canon stuff before the Shishio Makoto arc was fillerized, they dumbed down the Raijuuta mini-arc, not to mention fillers characters popping up all the time.

                                                                                                        But yeah, i don't think they'll remake the whole thing. I mean, it's 28 volumes...is RK THAT popular in Japan?

                                                                                                        28 volumes makes it one of the longer Shonen Jump series so I would have to say that it's pretty damn popular, but certainly not on par with the likes of Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter and Bleach. Say what you want about Kenshin it beats the hell out of Felch.

                                                                                                        My Hero Academia is my favorite manga series right now. At least so long as the high of its greatness remains. United States of Smash.
