    Story line is great some of the characters were real people and the timeline is true.Its a beautiful anime. Its an excellent anime that describes the battle between the mind and heart. Kenshin is a once of a kind charcters and the people he meets are uniquely as him. This anime is worth buying, same goes for the magna although the magna is lightly different they are still good, excellent.  Great action it doesn't dissapoint.

    The first anime that got me hooked. It is simply anime with samurai style to it and is beautifully plotted out.

    I though Rurouni Kenshin was gret if a bit repetitive. I can't stop watching it, though, because the main characters are all so adorable. It's fun to see everything that happens, especially when Kenshin is in fighting mode. I can't get over a good sword fight!

    One of my fav shows...i like the fights in the show very much compared to other types of anime as the fights are very psychological and not just two guys hacking and slashing at each other...and yeah kenshin ROX he is the best fighter...

    Oi I love this anime. I'll admit I like the manga better. I've never seen the anime past ep 65, nor do I wish to as that's where it diverges from the manga. Who could not love Kenshin? He's adorable, sweet-natured, a great cook and housekeeper and can kick major ass, should the need arise. One thing to watch out for though, is his split personality. When driven to rage, he reverts to the lethal Hitokiri. This is why Kaoru doesn't like him to fight too much. She doesn't want to lose her gentle Rurouni. I absolutely adore the main characters. Ken, Kaoru, Sano and Yahiko are hilarious together. They're always picking little fights with each other that are funny. Altogether a great story. It's the perfect beginner's anime which will still be a favorite even after the fan is more experienced.

    Very good anime, I enjoyed it to the max, it's suitable for persons 18 or older who might understand the storyline better. I find the other anime's like dbz etc a bit immature.......The artwork was also very well done, It's like I could actually picture the charactors as real persons. As like how spiderman/superman/xmen the comics were brought to real life, I'm sure Rurouni Kenshin would do great as a real life show they'd have to find a good Actor for Kenshin's character though!

    Get Samurai X. Enough said. You are dealing with a wanderer, who is supposed to be called a VAGABOND, whom, in my opinion, is a schizo. Kenshin is such a hypocrite....Jeez...that's the only reason why I can't stand this show.

    The original hack'n'slash anime. Good artwork for its era, and a healthy storyline.

    Rurouni Kenshin is by far the best anime out there ... i can watch the 95 episodes over and over again. They should continue with the series though, go past episode 95 , keep going ,make a new one called Rurouni Kenji. Someone or some industry out there should consider about making a video game for the PS2 for this series. It would make a great video game and i am willing to help. Maybe. I Hope this comes true in the near future. Even though they did make two video games for the PSX but there old and Imports. And the best part in the Series is from about episode 32 to 62. When Kenshin and his friends travel to Kyoto to fight Shishio. I would also recommend checking out the OVAs . There all GREAT. Excellent . Masterpieces. they should also put it back on Cartoon network. Its the BEST OUT THERE!!!

    RK is Truly Terrific.I enjoyed everylast bit of it. It's overwhelming, humorous, exciting, passionate it's everything mixed up together which produced the most magnificent Anime I have ever seen... and most of all when I watch it makes me feel as if it is a true story that really happened many many years ago. I lovee it!!!

    Very well done series. Good dubbing. great Story. Good action scenes. Great characters. Animation is great. Music is top notch. Now for the explaining action scenes are awesome. They dont stall as much as other anime do (ex. DBZ). Some great fights include Sanosuke vs Kenshin and Saitou vs Kenshin. Brilliant. The characters are really full of life and bring great comedy in the series. One character i have a promblem with is Yahiko. A 10 year old boy shouldnt be able to beat up grown men.Music hust complements the series well

    One of the best anime that ive seen so far! Unlike pokemon and Dragonball Z,(especially Pokemon) the story line isn't repetive , and the plot is interested. It sucks that they aren't making anymore epics

    One of the best shounen anime of all time...it combines awesome characters and a well-developed plot. The humor, while funny, is sometimes over done. The best aspect of this series is probably the fight scenes, as they are somewhat awe inspiring...some of the skirmishes can really keep you on the edge of your seat. Set in post-war Japan, it teaches you a view of life in the Meiji era (so you may learn something historical just by watching). This series mixes just about everything and pulls it off nicely.

    A fantastic anime series complete with incredible fight scenes, wonderful characters, and exciting storylines. I love and recommend the original japanese, but must applaud the english cast for providing a watchable dub. For the longest time, I was irritated by the unfinished feel the final episode left me with - but thanks to the two OVAs that came out to tie up the loose ends (Samurai X and Reflections) I have ceased my complaints. Two big thumbs up!

    Rurouni Kenshin is one of the best darn stories ever to grace manga with its presence.
