Okay so this is an OVA of Rurouni Kenshin that obviously didn’t make it into the regular anime as the anime was cancelled after 3 seasons. There is four episodes in this OVA so this will only take a few days for me to finish. From what I read this tells more of Kenshin’s story and his past and why he quits killing people. Without ado, here is a new anime review from yours truly.
In the beginning of the episode we see Kenshin’s Master the one who taught him the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū Style (well something like that). He also has a cup of sake and he looks as if he is reminiscing about the past and remembering what happened. We see Kenshin’s Master save him from the bandits and murderers who killed the people that were watching out for them. Before one of the girls was killed she told him to live on and live for her. She was then killed but she kept repeating and saying those words and then she passed.
Seijûrô Hiko is the one who then becomes his Master and teaches him the sword style the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū. Hiko then takes him as a pupil and changes his name to Kenshin as Shinta is too soft for swordsman’s name. This anime is rather beautiful for its age considering it was released in the early 2000’s.
Kenshin then meets an assassin that was sent to kill him and then meets a woman who tells him that he caused the rain to bleed. That is the end of this episode so be sure to comeback for the next one. So, my friends keep reading manga and watching anime and remember to stay cool. Au revoir for now, till next time.
