Customer Reviews of Rurouni Kenshin - Shadow Elite, Vol. 3

In episodes 9-11, we are introduced to Takani Megumi, a young doctor who has escaped from the evil druglord Takada Kanryuu. Working for Kanryuu, is the cold and handsome Shinomori Aoshi, leader of the Oniwabanshu. It's up to the Kenshin-gumi to save Megumi from Kanryuu, but to do that Kenshin'll have to defeat the surprisingly skilled Aoshi.

The fight scenes between Kenshin and Aoshi are excellant and I love how Aoshi is portrayed as loyal and full of respect for his men, even though he's a "bad guy". Actually, I just love that fact that Aoshi's in the story (he's my favorite character). These episodes are must see to further understand the conflict Kenshin and Aoshi have in the Kyoto Arc.

Also, Episode 12 is a very nice episode concerning Yahiko's first fight protecting the meek Tsubame (I have no idea what her family name is). Sweet humor throughout the episode, as Yahiko also deals with his first crush.

Rurouni Kenshin is THE BEST anime series out there so far
Rurouni Kenshin stands for wanderer Kenshin. During the "bakamatsu", the war which brought about the Meiji period in Japan, a legendary "hitokiri" (assasin) was instrumental in putting the new government in place. Near the end of the war, he decided to become a rurouni and atone for his crimes of killing.

Some years later Himura Kenshin was stopped on the street by the owner of a dojo and from there the story begins.

I can't stress this enough but the story have the most wonderful plot ever :). It is a serious yet lighthearted series. Historically, some of the characters existed and some of the events did happen :). Fight wise, many weapons were real and certain moves real as well. Fantastic & intricate plotline - a tangle of politics, morality, the past coming into clash with the new era and Kenshin himself trying to atone for his sins and protect those around him.

Alright, now that the intro is done for those who don't know. I suspect this video contains episodes 9-12. If so, 9-11 is the continuation of what started as a new short story from episode 8 with the introduction of a new important character and the tangle the new character is in. Episodes 8-11 introduces a group of new character and the plot become important to what will happen way later on in the most important 1st arc of the series - the Kyoto arc. Specific to 9-11, there is a lot wonderful skillful fighting and character building. Beautiful plot and story - you do not wnat to miss these episodes.

Episode 12 is specific to one of the main characters and is an episode of character development with style :).

I do hope this has been useful in getting people to want to purchase the series :). I am obssessed with the series and believe me it is THE series to obssess over so buy it!

Very Important DVD
THis DVD happens to be very important to the later story, so if you started Rurouni Kenshin you kinda will want this one

all but the last episode are what I call the "Oniwabanshu Arc" it introduces Aoshi Shinomori and the Oniwabanshu, unfortunately it does have a tragic end to it....and one that sets the stage for the 4th best fight in the entire series

the last episode is taken from the magna, but isnt as important as the oniwabanshu part, but it does introduce Tsubame, who is Yahiko's version of Tomoe/Kaoru

overall its essential, so buy it :P
