Rurouni Kenshin is an animated story that combines passion, intelligence, respect, and fantastical combat situations. This anime is based off a manga which in my opinion has a better storyline. Nonetheless with the combination of anime movies and the first two arcs of the anime, it is fantastic.
Story of rurouni kenshin begins when kenshin was called shinta as a child. He lost his parents and later became a student of a martial arts teacher. During that training period of many years he joined japan's army in order to help to provide justice in a time period of chaotic revolution. Due to his exceptional skills with a sword he was involved in the killing of many men who revolted against the government. In the midst of all that killing he lost his prospective on justice and his value for life. Once he realized he became the very thing he was fighting against he left the revolution and became a wondering swordsman with a reverse blade sword. Ten years later his story begins, wandering the streets in hopes to quiet the pain and sorrow he feels for the sins he has committed.
This story of redemption is one I can relate to and I think many people can as well. Plus, interjected in the story arcs are amazing fight scenes with amazing scenery from late 19th century Japan. And did I mention the fight scenes! Not only are the physical movements terrific the reasoning and rational and analyzes of technique and the passion of the fighters is completely engrossing!
