Rurouni Kenshin
I remembered this being aired on Channel 23 when I was in high school but being the studious student that I was, TV on school days was a big NO NO. One of my closest friends who was and still is addicted to anime had a huge poster of Kenshin on her bedroom back then and I never really understood what’s so fascinating about this anime till … now. I have made it a habit to download all those tv shows and anime series popular during my teenage years so I could watch them without repercussions and though it took what seemed liked forever, the download’s complete and all 95 episodes plus 2 OVA’s [with 6 episodes all in all] are safely tucked in my HD. I am taking better care of my external HD this time coz I don’t want it damaged beyond repair like the other one.
Though just to be on the safe side I will be burning dvd copies of them and right now all I could think of is getting my hands on the manga …. waaaaaaaaaa I doubt if they are available here and so when the time comes that I get to visit Japan looking for the manga would definitely be on the list of things to do.
I’ve also managed to download the complete soundtrack of this anime and one of my favorites is sang by Suzukaze Mayo entitled “Namida Wa Shitteiru”; Mayo is also the seiyu of Kenshin …. amazing that a woman would be the voice of a male character. Let’s listen to the song below.
