^did you try the Englished dubbed eppies? They should have them on youtube..... Yes you're right. Though I admit that I was mad that the Jinchuu Arc wasn't animated, the manga is always better. Plus, the voices in the motion picture and OVAs were pretty crappy.

An OVA, which stands for "Original Video Animation," is the animation of an anime series that is not originally aired on television and is made directly to video/dvd. OVAs are of much better quality than the animations, usually to motion picture qualities. OVAs series usually have 2-4 episodes and are usually 30 minutes long, but there are no limitations to the length of the duration or the number of episodes (some OVAs can have 30 episodes; some are 15 minutes in length per episode). OVAs normally give background information to the series, or provide a definate ending to an anime series. OVAs also give the creators the chance to include scenes that could not be originally aired in the anime that is aired on national television, such as scenes of extreme gore and violence or high sexuality.
Most of these features are in the Rurouni Kenshin OVAs.

^^ Thanks! So the movie I rented from netflix that contained Kenshin's training/Tomoe's story was an OVA?
Sorry to be ignorant, but terms get thrown around and I get lost.

It's totally ok. Now ya know. ^_^
By the way, since you rented (or are renting) the OVAs, would you mind reading my fanfic? It's in the creations board. I would really appreciate it, since there aren't many RK fans on DH to read this.... =D

Two interesting things I noticed about Kenshin: 1) He only wears his red gi once in the TV series (First episode) 2) Kenshin name means "Heart of Sword." I found new type of Japanese sword called a "Shinken", the inverse of Kenshin's name. (Shinken means "real sword" in Japanese).

XD I always thought that Kenshin red gi was his blue gi that just got fadded from all the wondering he did after the war. Oh and for the guy who wanted eng dub kenshin, here's every episode and OAV of the dubbed Kenshin. Enjoy ^_^ www.veoh.com/series/kenshinengdub?searchId=6512030745520551494&rank=3

O. M. G. I utterly LOOOOOVE Rurouni Kenshin. It's my favorite manga of all time!! The art is superb, the characters are perfectly developed, and... and... the action... *3* My favorite character would have to Sanosuke. I heart that bird head's cockiness. XDDD You gotta love him!! Captain Sagara and Seta Sojiro come close too. >.>
Oooooh!! Gackt WOULD play a wonderful Kenshin! ^___^ You're absolutely right!!

After that it's Hiko. He- he just fills my day with his humorous abuse toward Kenshin. I know! Gackt = Kenshin! RUMOR!!!Ok, I don't want to get everybody all worked up in case it's false, but I heard a rumor on the Oro.com that they might animate the Jinchuu Arc!! They must be doing somethin with Kenshin, because even though the original animation ended in the 90s, Watsuki still makes a might amount of media for the RK franchise, like calenders and video games. Plus they released the Kanzeban last year. I'm prayin to Kami that this speculation is true. :prays: (I would want to speak Japanese just so I could play that video game. >.<)

But didn't they kind of ruin any chances of animating the Jinchuu arc with the last OVA Since they kind of speed-raced through part of the Jinchuu arc in, and because of Kenshin...well, you know. Unless they're going to disregard the Seisho Hen entirely. Fine by me. I loved the Trust & Betrayal OVAs, but I hated the last one.

@icfn: As would I. but ok, I'm just gonna get this outta the way, but as a hardcare Kenshin fan, I must say this, and I know that other fans WILL agree with me: *ahem* @#$!ING SCREW SEISOUHEN.Seisouhen was the lamest piece of crap ever to walk the face of the Earth and I am glad that it is not considered canon. I would not accept Seisouhen with a gun to my head. And I am also glad that 9/10 RK fans also think this way. Ugh. i don't want to exhaust my frustration on here. Here's a link to my rant about Seisouhen: www.deviantart.com/deviation/70641677/Basically, I see them having no problem animating the Jinchuu arc, since that all the fans want anyway, especially after the rubbish they gave us. But until I see some concrete evidence, I'm gonna treat the Jinchuu animation continuation as a rumor. But I'mma gonna keep prayin. That I will.

I've never seen that hated OVA and I'm glad. Especially since it's not considered canon. As soon as I heard that main thing that happens in it I was like a puppy cocking my head to the side going 'huh?' It makes no sense. The only thing I've ever seen is Trust and Betrayal. But if they animate the Jinchu arc, I promise to find every bit of animated Kenshin material out there (except for the hated one) and watch it at least once. I'll probably do it before hand, but I like to make promises in case the animation powers can be swayed.

I was also browsing a forum dedicated the Shinsengumi, and I found these links to a special "lost" episode of Rurouni Kenshin. It wasn't an actually episode with a plot. It was an informative episode. It talked about all of Kenshin's sword techniques and how he performs them, and showed clips of him using them in battles throughout the anime. Out of complete anime randomness... what's your favorite theme songs? I simply love the entire Kenshin soundtrack collection death (I have them all on my comp. go fig), and I love all of the theme songs. I just rank them in order.
