Summary:
Himura Kenshin is a vagabond with a dark past and sunny disposition. Not a ronin but a rurouni, he was never a samurai, but an assassin of utmost skill in the Meiji restoration, who in the turning point of the war simply walked away. His travels lead him to Tokyo in the 11th year of the Meiji era, where he befriends a female Kendo master, a former thief, a brawler and a doctor all with their own secrets. Together they fight off the enemies surfacing from the dark past that Kenshin cannot escape.
Very good serie. At first I didn't really know what to expect. The art wasn't very well done and the effects were minimal but how could it be any different. This show is more than ten years old.
It didn't take long before I liked it. The story's well thought through and the action is good.
It is a shame though that the show didn't end after the defeat of Shishio. From there it kind of went downhill. I espescially hated the last episode. There's a limit to how badly made an episode can be but you shouldn't condemn more than 50 episodes of pure gold because of one failure.
