Change Takes Time, Right, Kenshin and Sasuke?

While I absolutely love Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, the OVAs that relate Kenshin’s bloody backstory, I’ve always found the ending of the series odd.

Painting Pictures of Great Anime (and Pop Culture) That Weren’t

Kenshin and Saito: A Balance Between Grace and Judgment

I revisited the Rurouni Kenshin TV series a few years ago, and found myself disappointing by the show. I had purchased the series volume by volume and had tremendous nostalgia for it, but now found that the show had aged badly. The animation didn’t hold up well and the tone was so dated.
