Overall 9: the only reason I can never give this anime a solid 10/10 is that filler arc at the end that just killed it....it's one of the first in a long running saga of anime that caught up with the manga and due to hype the animation studio decided to turn out something in the hopes of getting more money but instead ended up killing what was arguably the best story driven anime of it's time.

That being said the first two sagas of Rurouni Kenshin should be on everyone's watch list, it is a staple of anime past and still holds up to this day in either sub or dub. Honestly it'll be some of the best dub work you'll ever hear, the VA's and english director went out of their way to get the pronunciations of the moves justice in their native tongue the dedication shows.

The OST is subtle yet terrifyingly powerful,'Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu' & 'Departure' still give me chills to this day and are instantly recognizable.

If you haven't already seen it and re-watched it, stop what you're doing and go watch this master piece.
