Rurouni Kenshin tells the story of a gentle, polite man who lives at the Kamiya Dojo with Kaoru and Yahiko. He fought during the revolution as "Battousai the Manslayer", but vowed to his late wife Tomoe that he wouldn't be a manslayer after the Revolution, and so he became a wanderer. After 10 years, he met Kaoru and started to live at her place where during the time in which they shared together Kaoru fell in love with him and him returning her feelings later on in the series. Though, he no longer is a man slayer he is still very much skilled. His swordsmanship ranks among the elite as he is seen defeating everyone of his rivals. His battle senses are top-notch and he recognizes even the slightest of advantages, strategies and tactics during a sword battle. With these abilities he promises to help those in need to atone for the manslaughter during the revolution.
All in all, its an awesome anime. The best anime I have ever seen in my opinion. Beautiful background storyline, nice development of character and good fighting scenes. 5 stars!
