Story - 10
The story in Rurouni Kenshin is set in the Meiji era of Japan. The story follows protagonist, Himura Kenshin, who begins as a wanderer. Throughout the anime, Kenshin's dark past is revealed, showing that he was a once notorious assassin, the Hitokiri Battousai. As a wanderer he meets a woman who owns a local dojo, a boy forced into theft, and a fighter-for-hire hired to kill him, who all come together to form some type of a family. The group faces many enemies, where usually Kenshin and Sanouske (the fighter-for-hire) fight to maintain peace. The story is original and great which is one of the strong points of the anime.
Art - 9
The art in the anime is a bit older than most, however, it is very well-done. The characters are well drawn as well. But most importantly, it is the battle sequences in this anime where the art explodes and enthralls. This is not due to any special effects, as the sword fighting is somewhat realistic, but it is because of how well motion is captured and then presented that the art thrives in this anime, making it truly spectacular.
Sound - 8
The sound was mediocre. Sound effects throughout the anime were done well. The opening and ending songs were nothing special. The background music during the anime was actually pretty good at times, which was a good change. However, the music did not really have much effect on the anime.
Character - 9
The characters in the anime are great. Amongst the characters Kenshin meets throughout the anime, many are interesting.Also, some of them are based on historical figures, giving them even more depth. Characters also develop, and we see a lot feelings expressed from each character throughout the anime. However, there are some typical and predictable characters, which exist in all animes, so although there can be some nuisances, they won't take away from the show.
Enjoyment - 9
There are so many aspects of this anime that are great, however, depending on your taste, they could be canceled by other aspects. For example, if you like action but not romance, or if you like romance but not comedy, etc. This is because the anime consists of many themes, which is good and bad, but most audiences can enjoy it because of that. The main character is likely to drive the anime the most, since the anime is fixated on him, you will want to figure out more about his mysterious past, and be drawn into this long anime.
Overall - 9
Although it is one of my favorite animes, I must admit that it has some flaws, again just like most animes. However, this anime is still a masterpiece in its genre. This anime is truly a great one, so you should at least give it a shot. read more

Story - 10
The story is very original, where the protagonist comes from America to Japan as a well-developed tennis player. His father has him enroll in Seigaku Tennis Club, where he plays opponents who can challenge his skill, while the team seeks to reach the National Tournament. Although the story sounds simple, there are many episodes that get more in depth by revealing more of the characters and the storyline, which I would rather not spoil.
Art - 9
The art in this anime is spectacular! However, it is a long series, so some frames are repeated throughout games, yet it is still well done to the point where it will not bother. There is a large cast of characters, and each of the players have there very own original moves, yet the art is detailed so well it is easy to distinguish between all characters. Even the comedic and chibi episodes were truly amazing and had detailed art.
Sound - 8
The sound in the anime was mediocre. The opening and ending themes sounded like karaoke songs, and they were not real catchy... However, some of them were really good, in my opinion. The sound effects throughout the anime were fine, however, so the music does not really take away from it overall.
Character - 10
This is one aspect of the anime that truly made it one of my favorites. There is a huge amount of characters in the anime, and all of them are original and well-designed of course. There will definitely be many characters you can connect to, as there are many types of personalities amongst them. The characters also develop throughout the anime, so a character you may not have liked may become your favorite. Amazing set of characters in this anime!
Enjoyment - 10
I most certainly enjoyed this anime, as anyone else who's seen it has. The great plot, good art and characters play a great part in this animes success. Everything from the action packed episodes to the comedic chibi episodes were truly enjoyable!
Overall- 10
This anime will not disappoint! read more
