Samurai X: Betrayal

Nonton Rurouni Kenshin : Betrayal, akhirnya after 5 years. 

Snippet, worth 10 minutes of it... (Warning : Graphic bloody scenes  and human turned sheesh kebab scenes) 

If you don't know Rurouni Kenshin(RK), that means you are not into anime/manga scene. I am not even going to start elaborating on that because RK is THE MOST POPULAR series of its time. 

This series has the best opening and ending songs. But its not just for that, the story itself drew me in back then.

As usual, I would be introduced to the series through its manga form. It begins with a goof ball of a man wielding a reverse edge sword. How weird is that. Him wielding a reverse edge sword screams that it is more than meets the eye.

So true enough, his past was revealed throughout the series.

Soon after that the anime starts to air on TV. It was on AXN back then and it was an English dubbed (blurgh!)

Kenshin is awesomely popular with that 'X' shape scar on his left cheek. Even the English title for the series is "Samurai X". Looking at the scar makes you wonder, you don't simply get cut up in the face that way by being the village idiot, (well, maybe you can).

As the series progress you learned more about what a bloody past he left behind and also the origin of the scar unfolds in the OVA Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal 

By fluke I watched the Trust bit 5 years ago and have been left hanging ever since. This is Kenshin story way before he became the wanderer and way before Kaoru was in the picture. At this time, it was Tomoe. 

Kenshin still sounds like a girl (yes, I know the seiyu is a lady, Mayo Suzukaze)

Why you need a woman to voice a male character? See, its the beauty of the twist in the story. Kenshin is a man with small stature, with a girlish face and long hair. He even has a soft voice. Despite this, he is the most feared bottusai in his time. Its again the aspect of you can't judge a book by its cover. Those kinda sheit pulls me in, see. 

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai....

Enough anime talk. So early in the morning. I have to go to a sports carnival tomorrow. Show my support. I am so damn demotivated, I want to bury my head in the sand!
