Summary:
Himura Kenshin is a vagabond with a dark past and sunny disposition. Not a ronin but a rurouni, he was never a samurai, but an assassin of utmost skill in the Meiji restoration, who in the turning point of the war simply walked away. His travels lead him to Tokyo in the 11th year of the Meiji era, where he befriends a female Kendo master, a former thief, a brawler and a doctor all with their own secrets. Together they fight off the enemies surfacing from the dark past that Kenshin cannot escape.

Now that I look back on this series, I realize how cliche it was. Samurai's, Ninja's, over the top bad guys and super ultra no jutsu's (I'm sorry, their called "techniques" in this series). And I still dont care, simply because I still enjoy watching it (at least two thirds of it).
For the unintiated, Rurouni Kenshin is about Kenshin Himura. A legendary assassin who has taken and oath never to kill, and his adventures to stop injustice throughout Meiji era Japan.
Yes, I can tell you that after the Kyoto story arc it goes down hill and the manga is the definitive version. But my biggest tip is THAT YOU HAVE TO SKIP THE INTRO (unless you like your ear drums bleeding).
