I'm thinking of watching Kenshin/X and I want to know what order it is to watch them. Should I start with kenshin or should I start with X? Also when should I watch the movies? |

I don't get it, what do you mean start with X? I don't think you're talking about the anime X, but Samurai X? Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai X are the same thing, just that Samurai X is the NA name for it. Just watch Rurouni Kenshin first, then you can watch any of the movies or OVAs whenever you like.      |

Yes I was in fact meaning Samurai X. I was told that it was another anime with Kenshin in it, but if theres no such thing it will make my life a lot simpler. |

hm... the OVA Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen is the "history of kenshin" ^.^ form a chronological point of view you should watch this one first. nevertheless you should watch this OVA after the TV show. after you get to know kenshin from the main anime it's really cool to see his past ^.^ p.s. if you want to experience the whole story around kenshin i highly recommend the manga. the last part of the anime is really bad compared to the manga. the anime cuts out some very important story elements and character developments. edit: almost forgot: Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen is one of the greatest animes/OVA of all time ^.^ edit2: a quote form anime-academy this series just picked a terrible time to end. No, it didn't finish too abruptly nor without any closure; in fact, it was the exact opposite. Instead of ending after what was easily the best part of the series, an entire season of filler was tacked on. By the time I was done, I was so bored out of my mind and just trying to get the episodes over with. There were a few entertaining filler episodes here and there, but overall it brought down the quality of the entire show. quote 2: Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and in Kenshin's case, this occurs well before the finale of the series. After the Kyoto Arc, the anime is completely different from the manga and simply isn't as captivating. Rather than concluding on a high note, the series' ending leaves a bitter feeling that is hard to wash away. sorry for all these quotes, but the ending of the anime was very disappointing for me (after i read the manga) Modified by dominik, 02-07-08, 5:59 AM   |
