    RK is most likely one of the best animes out there. Real people (like Hajime Saito) and events (like the bakumatsu) from Japans history are entangled with fantasy in a very inteligent way in this anime. Not only will it entertain you, but it will also educate you.

    Top notch anime. A little thin on story, but the characters more than make up for it. If you're looking for something fun to just wash, or slice and dice those blues away, Kenshin's the way to go.

    "He is pure of heart - but so are fools."


    The English voice acting for this series is TERRIBLE; even if Richard Epcar (Battou from Ghost in the Shell) and Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop's Spike Spiegel) are among the cast.


    "What is truly good about a person can't be expressed in w...( read more)ords, that it can not. What matters is the feeling of trust one gets after spending time with them."


    "Then it looks like you've finally reached your limit, such an incomplete man can never win against Shishio. He can't win against the Manslayer living inside his heart either. Even if you were to live, you'd be in agony for the rest of your life. You'd be tormented, eaten alive by loneliness and you would... slay men. Because of that, instead of the final attack, ending your life is my last job as your master. Are you prepared for your fate.... Kenshin?"


    I really wish there was more Seijuro Hiko present in this series; but his few moments in the limelight are amazing.


    "No matter how powerful you become, you're still just a human being. Do not ever try to become something more than that."
