Rurouni Kenshin
First off, the TV series. This is what introduces the story to you. It starts out with a woman named Kaoru that runs some sort of dojo. Lately people have been leaveing because there is a man going around saying he is the Battousai (Battousai - Greatest killer Japan has ever known or something like that), using her techniques to kill people. So her students think that she has been apart of that. Later on things get cleared up when Kenshin (the real Battousai) comes around. Except Kenshin is not like he was in the past. He has given up killing people, Image 1 of 3. Click to enlarge Image 2 of 3. Click to enlarge

Next up is the 1st OVA: Memory. Oh ya, from now on there will be a bit of spoiling, so if you're like me and don't want things ruined, be advised. So by the time your watching this you know a lot of what Kenshin is like, but what you don't know is what his past is like. How did he get that scar? Well wonder no more because all the answers are here. The first two OVA's are a little slow but pick up a little more by the 3rd. So like I said, the story is pretty much how he became a samurai and what he really did back then that was so bad. Great ending to it too. You would get more out of it if you saw the TV series.
Now onto the 2nd OVA: SeiSouHen. Image 3 of 3. Click to enlarge
So overall, this series is great. But can you afford the price of the series? It's a lot to cough up I can tell you. I've never spent so much time watching a series in my life. Kind of feels weird that it's over. I really like this series, but I don't recommend it to people who have a short attention span because there is a lot of talking through out. That's all I can think up right now, now go watch.
