What they have
to say about it:
The Meiji Revolution
marked the end of the rule of the Shogun and the Samurai in Japan. In
Tokyo, where swords with blades have been banned, Kaoru bumps into the
wandering Kenshin while looking for the man that is tarnishing the name
of her fencing school. Saga 1: The Handsome Swordsman Of Legend While
looking for Battousai the Manslayer, a vicious murderer, Kaoru bumps
into a wandering swordsman and mistakes him for the killer. The
wanderer claims that he cannot kill with his sword, which has the blade
on the wrong edge. She offers the wanderer sanctuary at her school.
Kenshin proves valuable when the murderer, a vengeful ex-student, comes
to kill Kaoru…
What I have to say:
The adventure begins! I really
like the opening of this one. It shows you what we have to look forward
to. The quality is not the same drawing style as the OAV, but I shall
live with it. It give some insight into what Kenshin has been doing.
The flow of the stories is nice. One leads into the other. Each one
leads to more and more abilities of Kenshin. I very much enjoyed the
character development of each character and how they changed as they
learned about things. I have to say the things episode of this disk is
my favorite. I have to say the outtakes on the disk almost make it
worth it alone.
