About Rurouni Kenshin Based on the self-titled Manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki (published in Shonen Jump by Shueisha). Rurouni Kenshin originally aired from 1996-1998 in Japan. The story follows Himura Kenshin, a highly skilled swordsman and his journey across Japan during the Meiji era. Kenshin wanders Japan seeking forgiveness from his past of death and destruction. The story of the legendary assassin searching for redemption has been recognized worldwide as one of the greatest anime titles of all time. The hit anime would later be released to the US audience under the name “Samurai X” in 2003. As the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin increased, a series of OVAs would be released as a prequel to the original series. The two OVAs entitled “Trust & Betreyal” and “Reflection” will get the releases they deserve as they will be digitally re-mastered to High Definition Blu-Ray format. Reflection (2 part OVA) Kenshin’s history of death and destruction has left him known throughout all of Japan as the sword-bearing master assassin. Seeking retribution for his past, Kenshin wanders further away to a place he can call home. Although creating a time of peace through his actions, Kenshin continues to distance himself from the ones he loves. Kenshin’s wife, Kaoru, anxiously waits for the moment of his return. Will Kenshin ever return to his wife before she passes away from waiting?

Beautiful Ending to a Difficult but Satisfying Life's Journey of a Beloved Anime Hero/Heroine/Series
I watched this years ago and always wanted to own it. I finally pulled the trigger and purchased my own copy for my collection as foreign DVDs can be quite pricey. I bought this when it was $50 and the 4-part single disc prelude Rurouni Kenshin Tsuioku Hen for $90. I've watched the other disc many times already but not this one yet. I think it is because I've seen it before and I know how it ends. Kenshin's (and Kaoru's) life and story is so sad at times, I don't want to cry myself to sleep at night:)But having seen it before, I can attest to the beautiful and smooth animation. If you love the series or characters and you want to find out what happens in the end, you will love this and will want a copy for your collection. Just be ready to experience a wide range of emotions.
