Rurouni Kenshin?

[The Rose Dragon]

My local comic book store (which, among other things, is the only comic book store in miles) has all the volumes of the series, so I was wondering if I should buy them. Your thoughts?

I never read the manga but if the anime is any indication it is pretty good.

[Rogue 7]

Big fan of Kenshin here. The manga, I think, is much better than the anime. Probably one of the better mangas out there, and a good introduction if you don't read much in the way of manga.

[The Rose Dragon]

The manga I do read are currently Hellsing and Battle Royale, so I'm fairly new to it.

The manga is good, it's also a rather long series, so take it as you will. If you like swordings and "this can really happen if you're good enough! Really!" logic, you'll probably enjoy it.

Something to note, Kenshin's nowhere near as bloody as those other two, since Kenshin's whole shtick is to never kill again. It's fun though, I liked it.

I loved the manga. You can't go wrong.

Same here. I've been re-connecting with the anime via Youtube, but since the accounts that upload it get banned faster than people with well-thought-out opinions on Gamespot, I've been having a hard time. It really is quite excellent, and worth the effort and/or money.

I love rurouni kenshin.



My favorite part is how there's no real mysticism. The villians are constantly attacking kenshin with semi-supernatural abilities.


He'll take one shot on the chin then proceed to spend the next minute deconstructing their move and finding out the science behind it, essentially rendering them powerless.









The only problem is that guns are something of a wild card in the series, as people who seem to have super speed at other moments in time will suddenly seem to slow down if one is introduced into the equation.

Try http://www.veoh.com/. Plenty of anime on there, including some rather obscure ones.
