I was first introduced to this film by my friend seven years ago, and I have ever since fallen in cherish with Japanese anime. Seven years later, having enjoyed such friendly films as Grave of Fireflies, Tantalizing Away, Akira and Macross Plus etc., this film, Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen(as it is known in Japanese), aloof holds a special status in my heart and will never be replaced by anything.

What makes this film a classic is the degree of perfection the makers were aiming at from every angle. Demand it from a superficial perspective, the drawing for instance, is lush, sensual and very realistic. When falling leaves fall in water you can survey the ripples; when blood drops on snow it really sinks into it. Everything is shaped and executed with utmost poetry and beauty, and this is right even for the bloody scenes in the movie. In a fighting scene in which Kenshin kills the girl’s fiance, the camerawork strikes me as breathtaking and highly effective, it really gives the action accelerate and momentum and makes it sparkle with fire.
More importantly, the epic and characters are what effect this film memorable. I have to congratulate the makers of this film because they had an obliging script to originate with, into which they weaved elements of tragedy and oriental fatalism, making it into an myth and legendary narrative of cherish and sacrifice. First off, the chronicle starts with a gory scene of massacre, the sky has a color of blood, and the music is unlit and spine-tingling, setting up a tragic tone for the entire film. In this setting we meet the petite boy Shinta(later to become Kenshin) for the first time, he is the only presence in that scene that resembles innocence in this world, but soon later his innocence will be forever lost as he witnesses the killing of the three sisters.(This scene is carried out with ruthless realism and precision, for some people it can be unbearable.) Kenshin’s life is tragic and ill-fated true from the beginning. As we withhold on watching, we grow attached to the characters, we feel for them, for their sacrifice and suffering, and the rare moments of joy and peace they have.

The contradiction in Kenshin’s life is that, he believes that through killing he can aid bring a unusual world to the people, but each time he kills he feels big guilt and unrest. To gain solace and interpret for his actions, he keeps reminding himself that he is serving for a cause that will eventually bring salvation to the people from war, famine, and contaminated government. But slowly he begins to realize the fact that the people he’s trying to eliminate are unbiased oridinary human beings; by killing them he is actually destroying families and making others suffer, and that in turn makes himself suffer in guilt. All this makes him nothing more than a killing machine, a tool! The more deeply he realizes about this truth, the more tormented he feels inside his heart. So at this point, a unique character is introduced, the girl named Tomoe who is a resplendent figure shrouded by an aura of mystery and feminine beauty, a person who is mosey to change Kenshin’s life forever….
I loved the device history and fiction are intertweaved in this film to acquire a epic that is simultaneously legendary and credible. It has been remarked that the character of Kenshin is loosely based on a precise person, and the political figures featured in the anime have all existed in history. After thoroughly enjoying this film, I actually employ some time looking into the history of 19th century Japan, specially on circumstances surrounding the Meiji Restoration and various key figures in that revolution. And this research has led me to greater appreciation of the film. More often than not, you don’t accept such succesful combinations of history and fiction in films alot; another profitable example that immediately comes to mind is the award-winning film of 1984, Amadeus, which retells the life of Mozart in a silly and sensational draw.
Finally, I’d also like to comment on the music in this film. The music is incredible from beginning to raze! Not only in the sense that it effectively supports and amplifies the drama, but the music alone forms an emotional go. It is soulful and introspective, at times gloomy but weepingly resplendent. If you listen to the soundtracks in tubby cycle, scenes in the film approach befriend to your mind in knowing details. I remember when I watched this film for the first time, I was left spellbound and speechless as the ending theme sounds its first notes. In the extinguish the music takes you all the scheme support to where the anecdote started, at which point you hear itsy-bitsy Shinta talking to his master, and you are overwhelmed by a flood of emotions as this plain but hauntingly blooming record is brought to conclusion in a cyclic make.
In my view everything about this film is masterful and recommendable. This is a very serious work of art that has raised the artistic quality of anime films in general to an admirable degree. Heart-felt gratitude to all enthusiastic in the making of this film!
All fans of “Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X” will surely like this complete box OVA/OAV plot. It is very suspenseful and holds your attention till the ending of this tragic-yet-happy narrative.
When buying this box plot, you are getting your money’s worth. Usually, this box plot runs anywhere from 90-100 USD in some stores, but on Amazon, it practically cuts it in half.
This product does not appear to be a bootleg and is very good on the subtitles.
There is also another OVA/OAV box state that has a dark box and is a minute more expensive. Personally, I favor this one. In the other box station, you do not gather the following:
Reflection: Director’s Cut
Trust & Betrayal: Director’s Cut
(Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X) The Motion Picture*
Reflection
Trust & Betrayal
*The Motion Describe is sometimes listed as Japanese only when searching for the “Language” on some sites, such as this, but with this DVD box status, it DOES approach in English and also in Japanese, with English subtitles.
(All DVDs = English/Japanese with English subtitles)
That is what you score in this box position, besides the astonishing box art and the blooming DVD veil art.
[Risk]
The risk of purchasing this box location, or any box situation for that matter, is hurt to the box itself, not necessarily the DVDs, but hey, sometimes it happens.
Note: On the side of the box, you may behold a runt logo that says: Rurouni Kenshin or Samurai X. They are both the same.
Little kids should not be watching this. The suggested rating in my eyes would be at least an audience that is conventional enough to handle the dialog and the limited suggestive themes that are featured. Roughly: 16+
Also: The title is a petite misleading, considering it only says ‘Samurai X - Complete’, but this is NOT the Anime, it is the OVA/OAV collection.
