Rurouni Kenshin
« on: May 08 2005, 09:05 pm »
I'm looking for fans of this great anime! (And prob manga, I haven't checked)

Personally, I've only seen the first episode, but that was enough! I love it! Kenshin is so funny with his two personalities...serious and deadly/funny and clumsy!

What do you guys think?

(Just a note - some people may know it under Samurai X)

I love when he makes those faces  :D. When he's serious, it just turns so quiet.

The first episode was very good, especially for an introductory episode - this actually jumped straight into the plot, and added humour to action. The only prob was, the vid I dowloaded had a very weird sounds....you could hear all the background music and sound effects clearly, but the voices were so quiet, I couldn't hear them at all.

I don't suppose it really mattered anyway...I was reading the subtitles, as it was in Japanese

I've seen all 95 episodes. The seires hit its peak in the 40's and 50's with Kenshin's battle with Lord Shishio, then kind of went down after that. The last story arc was IMO not well done and looked like the writer had enough with the series. I also currently own 14 of the mangas (U.S. release).

Not sure...the 14th book was just released in the U.S. and it's getting to Kenshin's battle with Shishio (a little over halfway through the anime series) so at this rate...probably 25/30 books at least. Good thing they come out pretty fast :)

With my elite skills of downloading scanlations, I can safely say that there are approximately 28 volumes.

So my estimation wasn't a bad guess :wink:

$7.95 a book x 28 = $222.60 (not counting tax or S&H)

Check out eBay...some books goes for as little as $4...and recently WaldenBooks (at least in my area) had a 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free" special on all mangas.

Kenshin is so cool, because he always tried to avoid killing people, and he despises his past - it's ncie how he wants to make up for it. Too many guys these days do bad stuff or good stuff...it's nice to have someone who's done both.
