I just watched Samurai X and this would now be my favorite anime ever.. that I sure would! I loved the anime so much that it almost turns me to Japanese! (I found myself singing its ending theme song in Japanese! and found myself researching on wikipedia about Tokugawa shogunate, Shinsengumi, Kyoto, Imperialism!)

I watched all the 95 episodes in the series and the OVA’s, but what I liked best is the movie Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal because..

- of its bittersweet love story
- because of the beautiful script
- because of the boring and yet sexy voice of Tomoe
- because of the wise and poetic philosophy of Hiko Seijuro
- and because of the amazing stunts of Kenshin in battosai mode (oh how I loved those battosai eyes!)

The story starts with a boy named Shinta who was taken by slave traders. While travelling, the group was attacked by bandits and all were killed except for Shinta who was saved by Hiko Seijuro. Seijuro saw the regret on Shinta for not being able to save the people he has with. So he chose him to become his apprentice and taught him the sword art Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu (which teaches the principle of a sword that protects). He also change Shinta’s name to Kenshin (which means heart of sword).
