This is the first of four SAMURAI X OVA's produced, not to be confused with the television series put out by Media Blasters. Distinguished by their markedly higher production values, the OVA's offer excellent animation, and serve as something of a prequel to the TV series. Enormously popular, SAMURAI X takes place in the 19th century and is the story of a wandering swordsman, or samurai, named Kenshin. The episode begins with our hero as an eight year old boy traveling through the countryside with a group that includes his family. Most of the group is killed by a gang of bandits in a fight, but young Kenshin is spared. He is soon taken in by a master who sees something in the young boy, and decides to teach him the Mitsurugi sword technique. This begins Kenshin's life as an assassin, and he becomes the best there is. His trade leads him to cross paths with a beautiful young woman name Tomoe, a meeting that will change the course of his life.

OK not great
Mostly chopping swords and blood sprays. Perhaps could do with a bit less of the blood and more work on the story. I suppose he is supposed to be a divine ... read more »

Highly recommended, intelligent manga
Samurai X is stylishly animated with a surprisingly deep storyline and involving dialogue (frequently a weakness in Manga). I generally prefer subtitles but the... read more »

Very enjoyable but a little gory
This is the first DVD of this style of anime that I have seen. I am a huge fan of Miyazakis work - which is more family oriented - and I thought it was about ... read more »
