Pros: Great animation, Deep story, Violence. Cons: Kids can't watch it's brilliance.
Dark and beautiful, deadly and innocent, Samurai X is all this and more. This anime was a long time coming, and not just production-wise either. Ninja Scroll certainly set a new standard when it was released and has since become a classic. One of the ...
Pros: Animation is excellent! Everything! Cons: none!
This anime has got to be one of the best I have ever seen. There was not a whole lot of dialogue in the anime but actions alone from the characters created a sense of realizim that is a rarity in most anime out in the world today. The music also played...
Ever seen one of those movies that just makes you drop your jaw and keep them down on the floor even after you leave the theater? This one sure did it for me. Unlike the TV series, which is very light-hearted and comedic, the OVA is very deep and...
Pros: High powered action, astonishing visual and sound quality, deep characters. Cons: Can be a bit violent and graphic for those with an uneasy stomach.
Rurouni Kenshin OVA also known and sold as Samurai X is the epitome of what a high-quality action anime should be.
If you are already an anime fan, the best comparison I can imagine is to Ninja Scroll. The visual quality is at...
Pros: Deep drama, excellent animation, great voice acting, severe violence. Cons: Um ... none that I can think of off hand. ^_^x
Samurai X is an excellent anime. The precursor to the popular anime series "Rurouni Kenshin," Samurai X is the story of how Battousai, the Legendary Manslayer was born.
Kenshin (which, by the way, means "devotion) was a boy when he lost...
Pros: art, music, plot, characters, the presentation, and so much more! Cons: The story felt too short and ended too soon.
Samurai X is the american name for the Rurouni Kenshin OAV (Original Video Animation) series released by ADV. Unfortunately, ADV does not have rights to the Rurouni Kenshin name and couldn't call this animation Rurouni Kenshin OAV#1 : Trust... I believe...
This is one anime that I always recommend to friends. It's simply amazing and is one of the most well-executed historical anime movies that I have seen. The story is about a fictional character named Himura Kenshin, and follows his story in the waning...
Pros: very well done, visually amazing Cons: violent and gory
I normally like to write reviews on both content and format. The problem in this case is that I saw this before it was licensed for VHS or DVD. I saw it on laserdisc. Furthermore, it was a friends laserdisc, so this review is purely on the anime....
Pros: Interesting story, good animation Cons: Not as impressed as I thought I would be; wish I knew some Japanese history
For years Ive heard all sorts of things about Rurouni Kenshin. About how its so awesome, such a great anime, etc. etc. So finally I managed to see some of it, and though it is good, I do not find myself completely flipping over it the way ...
Pros: Excellent Writing
Great Animation
Good Translation
Good Voice Acting Cons: Price
Worthless Extras
Although history records a legendary swordsman whose blade killed long before it was drawn, Samurai X does a great job of taking artistic liberty and providing a worth while OAV. Samurai X is based on traces of the legendary manslayer of ancient Japanese ...
