Kenshin

[Koing]

What did you guys think of it?

Well me I LOVE it. Seen episodes 1-14 and think it is great.

I'm now going to buy it on DVD off ebay, but I have a few questions:

What is the correct number of episodes? I seen the box sets 1-30; 31-60; 61-94. Then I saw another one that had 1-96. Then another 1-95.

What is the correct number?

Thanks.

[fatalbert]

I think there are 95 eps

 

[Jgtdragon]

Seen the megas and the whole TV esp. thing.
One of my favorite anime.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Kenshin is cool. I didn't know till the other day that they based some characters off of real people.

 

[Maleficus]

if your gonna buy the series prepare to drop some serious money cause there are A LOT of dvd's even after the series there are movies and some sub series or something.

really? like who?

The information on the legal versions should be at www.animeondvd.com (also check The Right Stuf links on their main page, TRS has had some huge discounts on Kenshin)

I enjoyed the darker Samurai X movies, but the comedy episodes were too silly for me (despite liking Trigun).

For more samurai goodness you should check out the live action
- Seven Samurai
- Yojimbo
- Zatoichi
- Chushingura (the story mentioned by the French diorama guy in deniro's Ronin)

...in roughly that order, all at Netflix

 

[Sid59]

i prefer the OVA ...

No Netflix for me in England

thanks I'm checking that site out.

Anyway I bought all 3 box sets so i get 1-94 with s&H + insurance for $50.70 = £28

Going to love watching it.

None of the main characters IIRC. Some of the side and incidental (one time) characters are loosely
based on or inspired by figures of Japanese history that were supposed to be alive around the time
that the Kenshin saga takes place (Japan's Meiji restoration era (the 1860s)).

One noted example is the character of Saitou Hajime, who was based on the life of a police officer
named Fujita Gorou

Sanosuke was based on Harada Sanosuke.

Sanosuke

You have other members like Okita, and Soujiro.

We talking Anime now? OK-

I was watching Tenchi OAV the last few days, and while good, the amount of incest in this thing is freaking me out!

Now I know incest isn't considered acceptable in Japanese society, is it?

 

[CQuinn]

according to this site

There were 95 TV episodes, plus a few movies and specials.
Not counting the OAV series, or the manga

-- SPOILER --








It's been few years since I watched it, but I thought tenchi's grandfather was just royal and a cousin or even more distant relation, not a brother to either of Ayeka / Sasami's parents? If I'm wrong and he was, tenchi is two generations removed.

great series.... though the last arc on the tv series sure dragged and was ehhhh.

Thats because it's not supposed to be there. They should have put Enishi.

 

[dc]

heh, they just started showing shinsengumi here in socal on kcsi. saw a saito, sanosuke, and soujiro.

 

[Greyd]

I loved Kenshin - but Naruto is better.

 

[PCboy]

Sorry for my thread revival but I was recently introduced to Kenshin a week ago, and I'm planning to buy the whole set. Kenshin is one of the few anime series that have actually appealed to me and watching Trust & Betrayal was something I haven't seen in an anime in such a long time. Can anyone tell me all of the DVDs/OVAs that are needed to fully to complete the series?

Trust & Betrayal + the 95 episodes + Reflections + Movie? I'm sure there is more, like the Seisouhen and etc..

(I already have those in bold.)

Same goes with the manga, how many volumes are there, so I can finally discover how Kenshin really dies. (I have been reading and some have mentioned that the Seisouhen was completely different than it was in the manga)

I'm not 100% sure but I think the American DVD release has horrible subtitles.

For example, instead of being called an assasin, hes called "manslayer."

But okay, thats not too bad. Except that they speak like freakin Yoda also!
"Worried about Megumi, that I am."

Can anyone else confirm this?

I'm in the middle of watching both series right now. I still haven't made up my mind which I like more. They're both awesome
