| Artwork and Screencaps Super-Condensed Summary This series is one of my favorites, though it is a bit cheesy. I just have found no main characters I really dislike. The basic premise is that Kenshin has become a wandering samurai in order to repent for his sins as the legendary Battousai (you can get the full scoop on Kenshin's history through the sister movie Samurai X). He meets dojo-owner Kauru, student Yahiko, fighter Sanosuke, doctor Megume, ninja Misao and others as he attempts to find peace in life and reconcile with his own guilt. However, he is constantly unearthing remnants of the civil war era through radical groups of reformers. The action comes with Kenshin's attacks against these groups (though he won't kill anymore). Kenshin, as a character, is great; he's basically Vash the Stampede: known for a history of violence, though he is now a repentant good guy who goes spaztic every ten minutes. It's a pretty enjoyable watch. Here's an episode listing: 1. The Handsome Swordsman of Legendi: A Man Who Fights For Love 2. Kid Samurai: A Big Ordeal and a New Student 3.
