Rurouni Kenshin-Short Review
95 Episodes Over 3 Seasons (27, 35, 31 too many) A Huge Disappointment As With Everything About It,Season 3 Is Only One Box With All Volumes Stacked In One Hole With Very Little Detail On The Disks Themselves.The Previous Seasons Do Have Some Mix-Ups In The Volumes (I Watched Volume 4 Before 3 For Season 1 As The Front Disk Was Volume 4) With No Episode Numbers On The Menu.Volume 6 Of Season 2 Was Also Misplaced.That and The Abnormally Long Loading Times From Anime Works Logos Made It Quite Frustrating At Times.For 95 U$D,I Expected Much More.
Scores Will Be: Season 1/Season 2/Season 3/Overall
Art/Animation: B+/A/A (A)
The Only Aspect Of The Series That Improves Even Ever-So-Slightly In Season 3.The Various Backgrounds, Images and Drawings Are Outstanding At Times,Very Solid At Others.The Characters All Look Very Realistic; Westerners are Well Defined As Such.The Women Lacking Sex-Appeal Is My Only Critic As Far As The Art Goes.
Story: A+/A+/B- (A)
An Epic,Enchanting Storyline Filled With Creative Back Stories For Characters and the Historical Context.Season 3 Lacks The Epic Feel Of The Previous Two and Seems Like a Train Moving Without Tracks.Little Interludes Of One-Shot Episodes,a Few Multi-Episode Mysteries and Back Again To Random,Usually Boring Nonsense.
Voice Acting: A/A/A (A)
Big 3 Booming Voices:Jamieson Price,Beau/John Billingslea and Michael McConnohie.
Wendee Lee,Plus The Addition Of Steven Jay Blum, Crispin Freeman In The 3rd Series.
Music: B+/B/B
Fan Service: C-/C+/C
Kenshin Himura: A True Samurai,Kenshin Is Loyal,Dependable,Friendly To All No Matter Their Class Or Origin.Outside Of Battle,He Is Portrayed As a Slightly Clumsy Polite Young Man (He Does Not Sound Nor Look 28 At All).Contrary To Most Do-Gooders In Other Series That Drive You Crazy With Speeches About Freedom,Rights and "Doing The Right Thing" Kenshin Just Saves The Day Without Making a Big Fuss Out Of It.Richard Hayworth/Cansino
