Hm, I was recently informed that all the eps after the Kyoto arc were fillers and that the mainstory was never completed, does anyone know wich volume and chapter I should start with (after the kyoto arc).

Hmmm, I believe it's volume....19 that picks up where the Kyoto arc leaves off, and thus is where the un-animated story starts? It was either volume 18 or 19.

Hi all, ive seen Rhyokin Kenshin or however u spell it

, today my friend sent me a AMV link leading into youtube.com with kenshin being the video the music was playing by, and it was obviously Kenshin but it was more "new" if u wanta call it that.

the one i saw was quite old as Kenshin itself is old. Can anyone tell me if they "redid" the episodes with a revised and improved format of the old Kenshin? Btw i didnt acutally finish all of kenshin i just watched passed the sushio episodes, is it that leader on in the series the grahpics were redone? thx for replies and if u dont understand wat im exactly saying just post

i no its a lil confusing with my descriptions.

It's possible that the amv was about the OVAs and the Movie. They have better animation than the TV series.

For those interested, "Yahiko no Sakabuto" is in the current issue of Shonen Jump...

gencbiba · 2006-08-03, 17:49

Someone must send me a spoiler or something about "Samurai X: Reflection OAV."

"Kaoru goes to the harbor every day to see if Kenshin has returned. After a while, she starts looking back at her life with Kenshin and all the things that have happened." This is a description I got from AnimeNewsNetwork.com and I just want a spoiler... It sounds really sad plus the fact that she is waiting by the harbor for Kenshin? I was just hoping someone could clarify that because it is confusing me.

toniblab · 2006-08-04, 10:05

i seen it all twice plus movies!!the ending could had been better.

Electroguy · 2006-08-06, 05:06

Kenshin was pretty awesome but after the Shishio (sp?? Its been a few years since Ive seen it) Storyline it went downhill.

Glad they used a controversial ending to the series instead of another happily ever after.

The Ova's were really good as well.

I'd give it 8/10 for an overall score.

incube · 2008-05-15, 17:48

I have a question.... i already finished the Kyota arc and now im at episode 67.... and till now they seemed like really bad made filler episodes.
Is there a new arc or i'll be watching fillers till episode 95?

And i would like a spoiler about the ending: Is it a happy ending between Kenshin and Kaoru or a sad one?

GreatTeacherKen · 2008-05-15, 19:07

Yup, it's filler all the way to the end.

As for the ending, it depends. The manga does have a happy ending (though I should point out that the manga has another arc after the Kyoto one, the Seishounen does cover it albeit in a very streamlined form), but the Seishounen OVA that concludes the anime adaptation doesn't. So choose which one you like better I guess.

Guardian Enzo · 2008-05-15, 19:15

The manga had a great arc after the Kyoto arc, too - it's a shame it was never animated. C'est la vie...

and what about the ending of the tv series (episode 95)? Im only interested in how Kenshin and Kaoru ended... since the rest of the episodes are filler i would prefer someone tell me about those two =D

retardsrox · 2008-06-01, 09:48

In the manga ending they live happily after... go read 'Haru ni Sakura' to find out the true ending

nonexistinghero · 2008-08-29, 15:32

I have a question on the Directors cut of Tsuiokuhen, Kenshin's first fight against a member of the Shinsengumi has been fleshed out quite a bit, which fight was that and when?

christine_cute · 2009-03-16, 11:33

are you all guys kidding me??
This is supposed to be the best anime ever!!

Bradical · 2009-12-07, 19:08

The anime in my opinion was good didnt like the ova ending tho prefer the manga one lol

Celebrianna · 2010-01-03, 12:48

I would love to see a remake of this series that is faithful to the manga. I love the manga. But I heard that after the OVA, the author was quite peeved about their handling of his story so the chances of a remake after that was zero.

ditn · 2010-01-04, 11:12

Best series ever and one of the first anime i watched and enjoyed alot
The Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscence ova is also very good
The last ova was just so they could keep the fans shut of doing the last arc in the manga

The author of kenshin was pissed about how they handled the end
he said to everyone that it was fake and never the way he wanted it to end ^^
And that the manga end was the true end.

Guardian Enzo · 2010-01-04, 11:15

Since the OVA was produced by different people than the series, I hardly see why that would prevent Watsuki from allowing the Jinchu arc to finally be animated. I'd love to see it - the manga end is a thousand times better than either the OVAs or the anime-original filler end - but after this long I doubt it will ever happen.

Yeah, I'd like a RK remake. I love the old anime/OVAs but I wanted something that would follow the manga in a faithful way. If the old anime series followed the manga from the beginning to the end it would have been perfect: great character design, good animation, awesome soundtrack, etc.
