Customer Reviews of Samurai X - Trust & Betrayal (Director's Cut)
Masterful anime Samurai X is a prequel (in time) to the tv anime Rurouni Kenshin. It is set smack in the middle of the Meiji Revolution, a powerful time period for storytelling. Our hero is Kenshin Himura, an orphaned boy who is taught the secrets of Hiten-Mitsurugi swordsmanship. As the Meiji revolution engrosses more and more of Japan, Kenshin leaves his master to fight for the innocent people the revolution victimizes. His master scoffs at him and tells him if he does this thing he will become a murderer. The rest of the film follows Kenshins role in the Patriot army and his destined showdown with the family of one of his victims. This is truly epic storytelling, and the language, animation and tone rival anything American animation can produce. Just be warned, if you like this movie you will likely get hooked on Rurouni Kenshin as well, which is not a bad thing. Samurai X has a lot of bloody battles and killers, a love story, and a good deal of actual historical characters... all making it a remarkable work.
A beautiful story though very violent
I only started watching the Rurouni Kenshin series this year but I was hooked immediately! I love the RK series and when I found out there were RK movies I was really excited. I only have Trust/Betrayal right now and I loved it. It was very violent (at times) but an awesome movie. The movie isn't all blood and swordfighting though, it also has love in it. But the swordfights are awesome!
The quality of animation is spectacular but there is superimposing done that is terrible for the movie. There is superimposed water, fire, and a shot of an actual tree in actual snow. But don't let that bother you if you are considering buying this DVD.
It took me a while to realize that this is both Samurai X: Trust and Samurai X: Betrayal in one DVD. It is an awesome deal if you want both (like I did). It is suggested for 17 and up for extreme violence, usage of alcohol, and some mature themes. But it is an awesome movie! Oh and beware of the first seen, it is pretty intense with violence.
A True meaning of life
I got this dvd 2 days ago and let me tell you it is the best! The action is quite spectacular and the visuals are stunning.Any anime fan should get or at least see it, even though i'm just an ordinary anime kind of guy! It is suggested 17+ but hey, im 13 and I enjoyed this as much as any person would, Its got blood and alcohol, Damn! They really should stop talking about saki, theyre obsessed with it!^_^
It is about a boy named Kenshin to some of us whose caretakers get killed. He gets saved by a master of the art of sword known as hiten-mitsurugi.
Its whole visual style is superb. And as everyone says "they mix real life into it that makes it kind of silly" well, they do but it doesnt ruin the movie. This tells you everything you should know before the rurouni kenshin tv series.It has got hell alot of kick ass action. Of course youd think its all action its not, there is a HUGE chunk thats all romanc.It sucks that Tomoe died.But It is still a good dvd.
