Trust & Betrayal were good, and I guess that I'm in the minority for liking Reflections, but I wasn't a fan of the TV series.

I just hated how Kenshin talked in that.

not sure which OVA it was in... but do you remember the scene where that chain sickle assassin attacked kenshin?

And then he counters and cuts the dude in half

What channel did you watch it from? Every anime on Toonami achieved some significant level of fame.

I own the 3 live action movies, the Trust & Betrayal OVA, the tv show on DVD, and most of the manga. Though I kinda wonder how much of a big shot this Battosai dude is when Hiko Seijiro is around.

Yeah the author was discovered to have child porn dvds, dude writes a good story but is a shit bag for being into underage children.

T&B is one of the best "movies" ever made. I know it doesn't technically qualify but I mean, you get it on a DVD and it's about two hours long telling a single story so whatever.

Reflection was good too. Not as good but I liked a lot of things about it. It did some dumb stuff too, but I really liked the overall story and idea.

It was quite a shock when I finally got around to watching some of the anime, lol. I didn't hate it but the tone was just too... not what I was expecting.

honestly you probably cant go from the OVA to the anime. Itll just feel like a kids show, hard to take seriously.

but seeing the anime first, and then discovering the OVA... I really enjoyed them.

His sensei was cool, but Saito was probably one of my favorite characters from the series

The manga addresses Kenshins past better and the anime went in a completely different direction after Shishio.

In the manga you only find out his past (Trust and Betrayal) after the first two arcs post Shishio since his past comes back to haunt him.

Watching the OVA then the anime would be jarring though since the tone is vastly different due to Kenshin swore to change his life and not be an assassin.

Don't watch it, guys. Kenshin sounds like a little boy in the dub and has a grandma voice in the sub.

I think there was some filler, or wrapping things up. But thats the final arc

The anime was generally good with some great stuff in it. I stopped watching after the kyoto arc though.

Trust and Betrayal was the best part of the franchise by a mile. Its what the show should've been.

Reflections was pretty good.

There was a filler arc that wrapped up the series post Shishio, look it up on wikipedia, it did not air on tv but it was available on DVD.

The second dub is better. It has Steve Blum as Shishio.

You enjoy teaching high schoolers, and I'll enjoy creating my crappy manga. Let's see where we both are in a year. TheDoorMouse

And then only fined the paltry sum of 200,000 ($1,800) because reasons.

it continued with filler hell. I remember that Kenshin and co dealing with some European knights where he got temporarily blinded. the ending theme has Kenshin's X scar turning into Cross (specifically, the Christian one).
they didn't adapt the Jinchu Arc sadly.

Too bad the mangaka turned out to be a colossal pedo

But definitely one of my favourite animes of all time, and the Trust and Betrayal OVA is incredible.

God I remember that bullshit, the third manga arc was hit or miss but it was still better then that last season and the christian garbage the anime went with.
