I was first introduced to this film by my friend seven years ago, and I have ever since fallen in appreciate with Japanese anime. Seven years later, having enjoyed such noble films as Grave of Fireflies, Bright Away, Akira and Macross Plus etc., this film, Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen(as it is known in Japanese), serene holds a special space 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. Question it from a superficial perspective, the drawing for instance, is lush, sensual and very realistic. When falling leaves fall in water you can recognize 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 urge and momentum and makes it sparkle with fire.

More importantly, the sage and characters are what originate this film memorable. I have to congratulate the makers of this film because they had an kindly script to inaugurate with, into which they weaved elements of tragedy and oriental fatalism, making it into an memoir and legendary account of cherish and sacrifice. First off, the epic starts with a gory scene of massacre, the sky has a color of blood, and the music is black and spine-tingling, setting up a tragic tone for the entire film. In this setting we meet the slight 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 fair from the beginning. As we maintain 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 fresh world to the people, but each time he kills he feels mammoth guilt and unrest. To acquire solace and clarify 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 unfavorable government. But slowly he begins to realize the fact that the people he’s trying to eliminate are objective 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 original character is introduced, the girl named Tomoe who is a beautiful figure shrouded by an aura of mystery and feminine beauty, a person who is mosey to change Kenshin’s life forever….

I loved the map history and fiction are intertweaved in this film to earn a account that is simultaneously legendary and credible. It has been remarked that the character of Kenshin is loosely based on a loyal person, and the political figures featured in the anime have all existed in history. After thoroughly enjoying this film, I actually expend 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 net such succesful combinations of history and fiction in films alot; another helpful example that immediately comes to mind is the award-winning film of 1984, Amadeus, which retells the life of Mozart in a comic and sensational plan.

Finally, I’d also like to comment on the music in this film. The music is wonderful from beginning to raze! Not only in the sense that it effectively supports and amplifies the drama, but the music alone forms an emotional meander. It is soulful and introspective, at times shaded but weepingly lovely. If you listen to the soundtracks in elephantine cycle, scenes in the film arrive aid to your mind in intellectual 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 procedure succor to where the narrative started, at which point you hear runt Shinta talking to his master, and you are overwhelmed by a flood of emotions as this unpleasant but hauntingly delicate account is brought to conclusion in a cyclic perform.

In my notion 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 alive to in the making of this film!

All fans of “Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X” will surely care for this complete box OVA/OAV place. It is very suspenseful and holds your attention till the ending of this tragic-yet-happy fable.

When buying this box region, you are getting your money’s worth. Usually, this box position 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 lawful on the subtitles.

There is also another OVA/OAV box place that has a shadowy box and is a dinky more expensive. Personally, I favor this one. In the other box region, you do not fetch the following:

Reflection: Director’s Cut

Trust & Betrayal: Director’s Cut

(Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X) The Motion Picture*

Reflection

Trust & Betrayal

*The Motion Portray is sometimes listed as Japanese only when searching for the “Language” on some sites, such as this, but with this DVD box position, it DOES near in English and also in Japanese, with English subtitles.

(All DVDs = English/Japanese with English subtitles)

That is what you salvage in this box spot, besides the incredible box art and the fair DVD cloak art.

[Risk]

The risk of purchasing this box site, or any box residence for that matter, is afflict to the box itself, not necessarily the DVDs, but hey, sometimes it happens.

Note: On the side of the box, you may perceive a microscopic 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 aged enough to handle the dialog and the exiguous suggestive themes that are featured. Roughly: 16+

Also: The title is a minute misleading, considering it only says ‘Samurai X – Complete’, but this is NOT the Anime, it is the OVA/OAV collection.
