| Summary: |
In the days before the Japanese Revolution, Hiko Seiijuro, a wandering master swordsman and hermit, encounters a bandit raid on a slave wagon. Hiko kills the raiding bandits in hopes of saving as many lives as possible, but only manages to spare one life from the massacre. Hiko leaves the child, advising him to go to the nearby village and have them take care of him. A few days later, as Hiko comes back to check upon the child he saved, he is shocked to see the child had created graves, both for the slaves he befriended and the bandits who killed them. Seeing potential in the young one, Hiko takes the child under his wing, names him Kenshin, meaning “heart of sword,” and teaches him about the art of swordsmanship under the Hiten Mitsuruugi Ryu.
Struggling in a constant challenge with his ideal beliefs reflecting against the harshness of reality, Tsuiokuhen tells the melancholic and dark story of Himura Kenshin as one of the most feared assassins of the Japanese Revolution: the Hitokiri Battousai. |

This OVA series is hands down a classic. One of the best, if not the best I have ever seen. I believe you have to watch the anime series first and then these OVAs, you will see such a great difference. This OVA series has a beautiful sound track, great action scenes (bloody as well, if you dont mind that), and the animation is no less. This is a very dark, dramatic/tragic series in comparison to the actual anime series. I am a big fan of samurai anime, so that's always a plus. Based on Meiji Era, so that was really interesting as well. Essentially, words enough can't describe how great this series was to me, I loved every minute of it.
