Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X)

[Selenium_Glow]

Rurouni Kenshi or Samurai X as aired on Animax, is one of the most popular anime world wide. If one anime lover hasn't seen Rurouni Kenshin then he has missed a great creation of artwork and story.

One thing I noticed about RK was that it had a really strong character buildup. You could practically feel the character come out of the animation frames. It is one of the most striking features indeed.

Also commendable is the background music which adds the correct mood of the situation effectively. And the storyline is good enough to get a grip of you.

u said it SG. Samurai X is one of the greatest anime ever shown in animax.
i liked kenshin because he tried to put his past behind and move on with his life towards the +ve side.

Yeah till date one of the best shows on Animax has been Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin.......probably RuroKen and Get Backers have a tie for the top spot....... Samurai X included powerful and gripping storytelling with awesome characters and Artwork......A winning combination by anyones standards......

Character development was masterfully incorporated into the anime......you could easily be persuaded that the characters were real life people........

Despite the fact that it sounds simple, character development is the hardest aspect of any manga or anime...........Most of the newer anime fail to do a good job with it though, so many newer fans have stopped taking too much notice of it......

RuroKen is a classic anime and one which I feel that every anime lover should take the trouble to watch.........It will be an entertaining as well as a learning experience........

Post all the FACTS about any character from Rurouni Kenshin here......NO discussions here. Only VERIFIED facts

e.g. 'Rurouni' = 'Vagabond Samurai' is a combination of 'Rurou' = 'Wanderer' and 'Ronin' = 'Masterless Samurai'

It won't remain much of a trouble for the first timer once he/she/whatever starts watching the anime... :lol:

[Kyo]

It wont be a trouble IF they can watch it......but Animax isn't airing it right now Am I right?

Not to mention other networks are not airing it either (to the best of my knowledge)

[Dylan]

No Animax isnt airing right now. I'd love to see it again though. Considering my exams are getting over.

Speaking of BGC, most of the music got stuck in my head after the show was over.............

[Kyo]

I dont know whats up..... Animax is supposed to be airing RuroKen Directors Cut soon right ? Whats up with that??

Lotsa times I hear these things but it never seems to materialize.......

Anyway.... I thought that characters like Aoshi and Saito could have gotten a little more exposure in the anime...... they didnt have enough screen time in my opinion.....

[Hotaru_Firefly]

yeah director's cut is coming soon... but i wish they'd how trust and betrayal before that, coz trust and betrayal answers many questions that pop up in the director's cut...

[Kyo]

So Animax is finally going to air it??

Sounds good..... even though I have heard it all before......this time I think it might actually materialize

Trust and Betrayal go hand in hand with Directors Cut..... it would be dumb for them to air only one of them.......

[Dylan]

Yes Kyo, Animax will show reflections because they've already aired the promos, so they cant not show it.

i hope they dont show Trust and betrayal cause i'm downloading it right now and i'll be at a loss if they show it

[Kyo]

Dosent mean a thing to show promos...... I saw promos of Otogizoushi on Animax  a long time ago...... they havent shown that yet..... have they??

Of course not many viewers even noticed the promos for some strange reason...... or they simply assumed that it was part of Samurai 7 which was aired at around that time..........

[Dylan]

never heard of Otogizoushi, but they are showing Ominusha-is it the same thing?

even there was a promo for DBZ once, but never heard of it afterwards

[Kyo]

Nah its not the same......

hey
i love RK.
it's my # 2 anime
I like kenshin's fight n also his dress
I have seen it thrice on animax
The only thing i don't like abt it is when they talk while fighting.
They even discuss what kind they r going to do next i mean come on :lac: they shouldn't  talk very much while fighting otherwise it takes away the charm of a samurai's fight.
that's what i think.
They even tell their opponent the secret of their skill like which technique they use
