This is a wonderful animation. The story behind it is captured superbly. I haven't seen the first 3 volumes, but only this one, but no matter what i could follow along with everything perfectly.
This is forsure one of the best films which i have seen, animation or not. You learn so much truth in this movie about human characteristics and also what it means to be lost and then loved and found.
There isn't any real fight scenes in it but again, that makes it a beautiful film.
Samurai X: Reflection follows the story of Rurouni Kenshin a samurai with a past in his attempt to atone for his sins. This is a great story but if you're looking for a hack and slash anime this is not for you the story is about life, love and redemption. The animation quality is very good with a high frame rate and the music really fits the story I watched this one twice once playing the English soundtrack and then again with the Japanese soundtrack both voice casts fit the characters well, all in all this is one to watch for any anime fans who want something with a little deeper story line.
