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.
This was simply an amazing story from beginning to end! I was really impressed with all of the quality and quantity of the storyline, very detailed but kept me in the seat the whole way. I simply cant get enough of this. It would be even better if there was more improvement of the animation, which would mean in a remake, but they still did a good job with it overall. Though not likely to get another season 'cause the author is now doing Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls, this was a masterpiece. A definite must watch, and in the best selection for my list of anime.
