To catch it out of the scheme first, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie–I am tall fan of the Rurouni Kenshin series, and the movie, while not quite as expedient as the series’ best parts, succeeded in giving me more of the same stuff I admire so worthy (as long as you don’t notice the horrific English dub–even compared to the series’ English dub it’s unpleasant) .

Now on to the primary part–the confusion that has been steeped upon this release. Here’s what everyone should know, but seems to ignore (at least in reviews) : “Samurai X” is the American title ancient to replace the Japanese title, “Rurouni Kenshin,” when this movie and the OVA’s were released by ADV. The current series (it came first, only after the droll) is being released under its new title by Anime Works. The Kenshin OVA’s (under the American titles “Samurai X: Trust” and “Samurai X: Betrayal”) were made later as a prequel to the series, chronicling the early days of Battousai the Manslayer/Hitokiri. By the time the series begins, 10 years later, the main character Kenshin has given up his past role of Battousai in order to somehow manufacture up for his evils, so he lives as a wandering swordsman (note: not a samurai by any means, ever!) who refuses to extinguish. The Rurouni Kenshin movie takes station around the time of the series–as in, the same supporting cast appears, and Kenshin is currently a wanderer. Not only does the movie’s fable occur within the context of the series, but stylistically it fits as well.

Comparing the RK movie to the OVA series, in terms of yarn or style, is useless. They are two completely different works based on the same series, one made to relate the sad and violent aspects of Kenshin’s early life, and the other meant to act as a suppose companion to the material in the series. One reviewer relates the series and OVA’s as being two seperate universes, and the movie an amalgamation of the two. Well, that is impartial flat-out rotten. All three works have been created along a timeline in terms of legend, and in the case of style, have been created to mediate the period of Kenshin’s that is being chronicled. The only reason the name “Samurai X” was given to the OVA’s and movie was to beget them observe “cooler” for an American audience by Sony & ADV after they acquired the rights. The American name says nothing about the contents.

The timing of this film is after the ‘Samurai X’ OVA’s. The year is 1879, sometime during the progress of the ‘Rurouni Kenshin’ television series. The bloody overthrow of the Tokugawa Shogunate has been followed by the Meiji restoration, but all is not well. Samurai led by Takimi Shigure regret the passing of the customary days and conception to begin a counter-revolution. Himura Kenshin, one of the samurai who fought to overthrow the Shogunate, finds himself forced by destiny to oppose Shigure. In the past, a mistake by Shigure left his closest friend, Takatsuki Gentatsu without sufficient resources for a raid. Unknown to Shigure, Kenshin is the samurai who killed Gentatsu. Both men were deeply affected by this, at the restoration of the Meiji, Shigure was sworn to vengeance. And Kenshin had his sword blade reversed, certain never to slay with his sword again.

Now, in Yokohama, Shigure plots the death of the British Governor. When Kenshin helps protect Takatsuki Toki (Gentatsu’s sister) Shigure befriends Kenshin and eventually asks him to capture care of Toki if something should happen to him. In the meantime, forces in the government intend to employ Shigure as a means for achieving their absorb ends, creating a multi-layered scenario of betrayals that will culminate in the final battle between the two satisfactory opponents.

Despite (or perhaps because of) the highly romanticized depiction of samurai behavior and swordmanship, this becomes a dramatically inviting chronicle instead of a simple legend of blood and swashbuckling. Kenshin’s youthful appearance and the antics of his friends support the film from being overwhelmingly tragic. Thus it is a well-balanced status with many subtexts to add to its richness.

Artistically, the film is first-class. The battle scenes are cleanly detailed, and the choreography of the sword fights is beautifully done, if a bit fantastical. The scenes have a fluid grace that will cause the viewer to conclude action often, objective to care for the illustration. This film, and the related tales of Rurouni Kenshin residence a recent standard for Samurai based anime, that is rarely equaled. Watching the OVA series before seeing the movie version will provide the viewer with useful background information, but the film stands quite well on its acquire, making it a fitting introduction to this common and long-running series.
