The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era. He strives for peace, while the others strive for violence. Kaoru takes this lone samurai in, but does she really know what she's getting herself into? What mysteries might Kenshin be hiding?

This is great for history buffs, action lovers, and the romantics. It also has comedy. There is hardly anything missing in this long adventure.

I especially like the addition of historic events and the realistic aspect to the story. The art is also top notch.

I wanted to see more! Luckily there are two more seasons available.

I always felt excited when watching this series. There's so much going on. The way the relationships build between characters is amazing and heartwarming (well, except between enemy characters!).

I recommend this box set because it is well worth the money. You are getting an epic adventure here, and something that you will want to watch again and again.

I've watched the entire series, and there is no part of it that I did not love.
