Summary: Himura Kenshin is a vagabond with a dark past and sunny disposition. Not a ronin but a rurouni, he was never a samurai, but an assassin of utmost skill in the Meiji restoration, who in the turning point of the war simply walked away. His travels lead him to Tokyo in the 11th year of the Meiji era, where he befriends a female Kendo master, a former thief, a brawler and a doctor all with their own secrets. Together they fight off the enemies surfacing from the dark past that Kenshin cannot escape.

Rurouken is always the best...I read the manga and nothing to doubt, this is my most intresting manga i have ever read...to see it moving in anime is really cool...

Different with others sword fighting manga, killing is not the solution. Although Himura Kenshin is The great Hitokiri Battousai, he quit from being a hitokiri and try to not killing anyone anymore...

Watching it make me want to know more about the bakumatsu period, ishin shishi, meiji restoration, shinsengumi etc....

In 1st season, The Tokyo arc , although there are slightly change story, but it still appears to be very good story. Ayame and Suzu for example, although not appear in manga, really interesting. The spoiler also is apppear not to disturb the manga story line.

In 2nd season, the best and the most excellent part, The Kyoto arc...Kenshin return to Kyoto , the place he get the title densetstu no hitokiri battousai to prevent his successor, Shishio Makoto to destroy meiji government.

The 3rd season?..until Amakusa arc is okay..but then it's appear to be agarbage for me.

I hope there are effort to animate The 3rd and the last arc in manga, The Jinchuu arc...Then it will complete

For last....飛天身剣流奥義~天翔龍閃。。hiten mitsurugi ryuu ougi~ amakakeru ryuu no hirameki
