I am a huge HUUUGGGEEE fan of Rurouni Kenshin. Loved it so much that I actually bought the Jinchu arc (the first and last manga I'll ever buy). Now if only they would get that arc animated. . . . .
Also like to give a shout out to Saito the biggest mother shut your mouth in the history of anime.

Haven't read much of the manga, but I have seen and do love the Kenshin anime. About all of the manga I've read was the first chapter printed in Shonen Jump and the follow-up one-shot, Yahiko No Sakabato, which was run in Japan about a month or so after the final volume of the manga was printed, also printed in Shonen Jump over here in thr States.

I think they stopped the series because it was getting too long.
*Whispers* The manga is better than the anime... ;D

What happened with the Anime was that when they finished the episodes based on the Kyoto arc the manga didn't finish the Jinchu arc. So the animators decieded to write their own stories to stall until the manga finished. If you ever watched them on youtube, let me tell you they sucked and they sucked hard. As a result the fillers caused the show to get canceled so the series ended before the animators could do episodes based on the Jinchu arc.

^ Whoooo! So smart Tungii! ;D I didn't like the rest of the anime... The Jinchuu arc was my fave. I was made they didn't animate it. >< The OVA's are awesome, but they end so suckily, and they make me cry.

My little sister loves RK, she has the entire sseries and has all the manga, or read them all and is waiting for the reast. I liked the OVA's the best.
Kenshin and Tomoe are OPT, i love the fighting scense.

I loved the Jinchuu Arc too my only complaint is that Misao and Karuo were essentially useless. Come on Yahiko gets 3 fights and you can't give Kauro or Misao one little fight. I hate it when Anime/Manga turns female cast members who in the begining were fighting stong willed girls into nothing more than cheerleaders for the male characters

Kaoru was going to fight, but it was Kenshin and Enishi's fight, and while the four star peepz were fighting, she was inside. I was kinda mad that Misao couldn't fight then, but I guys Watsuki just like damsel in distress girls.

It kinda sucks. I have noticed it too. Kaoru was pretty awesome in the beginning, but later on, she became weepy and well.... damel-in-distress-ly. Same with Misao. I hate it when they do that in anime. So far, only FMA has it fair share of really strong women: Izumi, Riza, etc. But then, FMA was written by a woman.

FMA had stong girls but my fair share in anime is going to Slayers. Slayers had strong girls who stayed strong, heck it's one of the few Anime's where the female is the main character. Now if only they got a better group of VA's to do the dub. . . . (it's one of the cases that I will actually make a big deal about the Japanese version is better than the dubbed version)

Sorry, back on topic. . .
So what do you guys think about the American Super Hero comic shout outs give by Watsuki? (Going to applogize for the butching on the spelling on the character names) You know the Spawn cape on Hijiro, the Gambit mask in Jinae, Gambit Jacket in Aoshi, the Venom wannabe, Omega Red wanabee, ect ect
