RUROUNI KENSHIN

Review by J.L.Roberts
-------------------------

Okay, if I had to pick a show BESIDES Slayers as my fave, 
I'd probably pick this one.  It's funny, dramatic...a bit
formula, but it's so much fun....

This is historical fiction, set in the beginning of the Meiji
era of Japanese history.  The age of the samurai is over; let
bureaucracy rule now! In order to win the war, the current
government trained and employed samurai known as Hitokiri; 
basically, these guys were killing machines.  The best of the
best was the Hitokiri Battousai, who disappeared near the 
end of the war.  

Enter Kenshin.  He looks like the Battousai...has the ability
of the Battousai...but his sword has a reversed blade!! He 
says he's a Rurouni (a wandering samurai)...but is that all
he really is??

Find the fansubs of this!! It rocks.  Period.  Yeah, you get
a bit sick of people trying to kill Kenshin, but the rest of
it is soooo worth the constant barrage of attackers.  Kenshin
is so cute (not to mention Sanosuke and Aoshi...*drooool*),
you can't help but say "Oro" right along with him. Lots of 
violence, language (depending on translation).  15/16.

VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE - 15/16
