Rurouni Kenshin

Show Summary

Aired: 1998 - 2005
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: JAPAN

The show revolves around the adventures of the legendary samurai known as Battosai the Manslayer. Years after the revolution in Kyoto, during the Meiji era, he reappears in Tokyo as a Rurouni or 'Wanderer' by the name of Kenshin Himura. After getting a place to stay at the Kamiya Dojo with the assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu style, Kaoru, he stops wandering to protect the people of Tokyo with his Sakabato (Reversed-Blade Sword) so that he may never kill another again like he did mercilessly in Kyoto. Along with the boy swordsman, Yahiko, the fighter-for-hire, Sanosuke, and the beautiful doctor, Megumi, Kenshin lives his days in the city of Tokyo protecting the weak without ever having to kill in the new era of Japan.

I bow to this! I really liked the English actors for Kenshin, Kaoru, and Sanosuke. But the anime itself was h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e! All of you, go do yourselves a favor and read the manga!

I can't forget about this show. It wasn't bad, but I vaguely remember any specific episodes. I remember Toonami temporarily bringing this show back to air re-runs in the early 2000's, but it didn't last very long.
