Pros: it's got 4 great episodes Cons: most places have it at a ridiculosley high price
Ok a couple of days ago I was bored and looking for something to do so I went to my local rental shop and picked this up. This is the first 4 episodes of Ruroni Kenshin which ran on Cartoon Networks Toonami several months ago (it’s still on CN but ...
Pros: Beautiful animation and a classic series Cons: horribly written and hard to read extras, LONG series (22 volumes!)
The Intro Rurouni: Japanese word for "Wanderer" Just like thousands of other people I first became exposed to this anime during it's initial run on Cartoon Network. The story just grabbed me and forced me to watch but there are only so ...
Pros: Drama, sword fights, compelling characters--especially the protagonist Cons: Ill-chosen music over opening and closing credits
In Meiji-era Japan, common citizens are not allowed to carry swords. A wartime assassin called Battousai the Manslayer has resumed his killing in peacetime. When Kaoru Kamiya, an assistant instructor of kenjutsu, spots a scarred young man...
Pros: animation, characters, music, character design, action, drama, comedy, love, wait..read the review, it'll explain this better... Cons: uhhhhh.....hmmm......?_?
Note: Just for the record, I have the DVD version of Vol. 1, which contains all the same episodes, but, I can't find the DVD version in the Epinions products database, so I'm posting it here.
Pros: Fluid animation, great music, realism... Cons: These episodes aren't very exciting...
(Very Neo-esque) Whoa. This is the first time I've seen any episodes of "Rurouni Kenshin," and I must say, I'm really impressed. Great story, great animation, great voices (well, save for the dub actors), yadda yadda yadda...
Pros: The best anime there ever is. Cons: nothing at all
By far this has got to be the best anime series there ever is. I've seen most of the series from a friend who owns the fansubs, and now that it has been released in the US I feel very grateful. Especially since now I don't have to deal with bad...
Pros: "Kenshin" explains it...Okay, if not, you get great animation, touching story, and great voice. Cons: Kaoru's Bamboo Stick - It breaks, it GETS sliced, and etc.
There's a thing in this world called bias, and I consider it sparingly. But in the case of Kenshin, I have an enormous amount of bias. Why? For years of watching raw Kenshin tapes straight from Japan, we finally get a decent subtitle job. And a...
Pros: excellent artistry and story line, excellent all-around animation. Cons: some Japanese humor doesn't always make sense to an American viewer
The Rurouni Kenshin series is probably one of the best Anime series to be released for the teen to young adult viewer. There are several reasons for this.
Artistic - The imagery in the series continuously punctuates the story. From vivid...
Pros: Many things, including: grasping plot, interesting characters, as well as other small details Cons: Can be slow @ times, for it is the beginning.
*Note: This review is not a review of the whole series, nor just the first VHS/DVD, but instead part one of Rurouni Kenshin (Wandering Samurai).
The Story: A man with an unwanted and unpleasant past who was instead of the manslayer he once...
Pros: adorable characters, wonderful plots, and sword fights that kick butt Cons: none so far
Rurouni Kenshin is one of the best anime I have ever seen. It is definatly a must-have for all anime fans. If you enjoy sword fights, romance, and comedy, all rapped into one, then look no further than Kenshin.
Pros: Researched sword fighting, character development, butt kicking, love story. Cons: Um ... Oro? ... Well, there's not enough of it of course!
Rurouni Kenshin. Those two words are enough to make me start to drool and run for my DVD player. So far I own the first six volumes of the Kenshin DVD's, and I find myself saving money whenever I can in order to purchase more.
Pros: art, story line, humor Cons: a little repetitive story line, but that's later in the series
Kenshin is one of the better anime's i've viewed. It's got heavy fighting and blood for the boys, romance and a strong spirited "woman" for the girls. It is filled with humor and goes beyond simply having an entertaing storyline to the point of...
Pros: Great animation, fight sequences, plot Cons: Hmm, very hard to find any!
"Rurouni Kenshin" has to be one of the most incredible shows ever created. Whether those shows are made in USA or Japan. "Rurouni Kenshin" is about a traveling swordsmen or Rurouni, who goes by the name of Himura Kenshin. Kenshin...
Pros: Good fights. Good characters. Good story. Cons: Toei screwed it about halfway through the series. :(
Rurouni Kenshin. The anime series that has spawned the "Oro!" phenomenon! This anime is one of my favorites. It's got a great story, great characters, and great everything.
First off, it's about Himura Kenshin. Kenshin is the former Hitokiri...
Pros: its the first episodes! Cons: you have 91 more episodes till the end
I saw this tv series after i saw Ruroni Kenshin OAV 1-4. In the tv series you will notice a nicer friendly Kenshin. its also the first time that he meets new people after leaving the old era and protecting the new.
