I don't know, but personally, since I've already watch the anime, I think I will wait until the stuff after the arcs with Shishio and that guy who though he was Jesus end, then start picking it up.

It Is Worth It!!!!!!!!!buy It Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm personally waiting for the final arcs.

I only have the first issue, but I read up to 8 in scanlations, and to me, it is very much worth it. But that's my humble opinion...

There was a guy who thought he was Jesus? Not what I heard...I just heard he was a Christian, and everyone else thought he was Jesus.

He did keep on saying how he was the son of God and all

Postby **Destroyer2000** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:57 pm

Aren't all of us God's children?

Oh well, doesn't matter. I hope that's what he meant...anyway, that's not the Jinchuu Arc, is it? I heard that the third animated season of RK was being made at the same time that the Jinchuu Arc was being written. Is that true?

Postby **MasterDias** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 2:54 pm

Yes.
Which is one of the reasons why the Kenshin anime after the Kyoto arc is not considered as good as the previous arcs by many fans.

I have vol. 1 and 2 and I think if you really like the show it would probably be worth it to get em. Not everything in the manga and the anime are exactly the same and the Christian guy in the anime isn't even in the manga. That part of the anime was just made while they were waiting for the Jinchuu arc of the manga to get far enough along so they could start animating it, I think.

Perhaps.
But the series was cancelled before they could animate the Jinchuu arc.

Postby **Shao Feng-Li** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 4:44 pm

why was it cancelled?

Postby **blue elf** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:26 pm

Maybe their audience dropped cause the story arcs of the third tv season were mostly filler and it was taking them so long to get up to the Jinchuu arc that people got bored or something. lol

They need to animate it...is Anime Works a fan-subbing company? It seems like it, from the liner notes...

If its Rurouni Kenshin you can't go wrong! ^_^

Postby **Destroyer2000** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 7:47 pm

Oooo....I just found the Rurouni Kenshin Legends of Kyoto premium boxset for pre-order....

Postby **Destroyer2000** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 7:53 pm

If anyone can, would someone give me a list of ALL the Rurouni Kenshin DVDs and the manga? I mean, how many volumes are there in each, and what else is there besides Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, and Samurai X: Reflections? I heard there was something like Samurai X: Tetsukonen or something like that.

I need a checklist...I'm getting everything RK.

o_O! Soooo, many manga volumes! It'll take forever to get to the Jinchuu arc.*cries while huggling imaginary Enishi plushie* lol I live though, since I've read some translations of it in the past. ^_^
O.T. How is the Trust and Betrayal OVA? I've been considering getting it sometime.

I luv it i have the first two volumes and they rock
OOps sorry to double post can a mod delete?

Postby **Solid Ronin** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 3:53 pm

volume three was good but to short

Postby **Mave** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 8:46 pm

I personally recommend Rurouni Kenshin (I have the whole series ^^), do expect bloodshed and murder. The manga runs until Vol 28 I think... (so be prepared for it if you wish to buy the whole set in the long run). Be careful while surfing the Net, you'll run into a lot of spoilers.

Interesting characters with good values, good messages, GREAT action, female characters respected (hardly any fanservice), historical background, beautiful art...yeah, that's why I got it.
