VHS Movie Reviews of Rurouni Kenshin: Betrayal (Sub) [VHS]

Movie Review: I'm so glad I chanced across this one
Summary: 5 Stars

It was a complete accident: I rented this anime because the box looked interesting, and, seeing as how I am currently pretty picky about my anime, the fact that I picked it up at all is amazing. All I can say is, I am biting my tongue now. I am so glad that I saw this anime. This is a marvelous story. I got extremely attached to Kenshin and Tomoe (the main characters), as well as Katsura and Hiko (fairly minor). The plot was as thickly woven as I could hope for: complex but very understandable, with a marvelous tragic storyline, and characters that made sense: Tomoe and Kenshin's actions were perfectly in sync with how I would have expected them to behave. The love story held me captive, and I was enthralled watching the changes coming over each character. I am a lover of tragedy, and this is tragic to the max. This movie, along with Rurouni Kenshin: Trust, will make your chest ache deep inside. I highly recommend this anime; it is one of my favorites.

Movie Review: great accompaniment to the TV series volume
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all, I really would suggest that you watch the TV series first before watching the OVAs, you would understand and feel the OVA plot more than if you start blank because this tells the story of Kenshin's past--how he became what he became, and what he encountered along the way from being a Battousai to a Rurouni. The OVA series definitely has a strong plot, however the characters lack emotions, which is why you would understand what is going on in Kenshin's head much more if you've seen all the 95 TV series episode that clearly portray Kenshin's feelings, emotions and philosophy of life in open air. If you have seen the TV series, be ready to be disappointed by the way the characters are portrayed physically in the OVA series. They don't have big twinkly teary beautiful eyes. They are made to look "more human"--which could be good, or bad, depends on audience's taste. Overall, this series is excellent. And please, for ultimate viewing satisfaction, don't get the english dubbed version. Never ever even bother with any english dubbed version.

Movie Review: A wonderful conclusion
Summary: 5 Stars

If you've seen the first part of the Rurouni Kenshin Tsuioku Hen series (aka "Samurai X"), "Trust," then there should be absolutely nothing stopping you from seeing the conclusion, "Betrayal." The third episode further develops the characters of Kenshin and Tomoe as they live a life as Husband and Wife in Otsu. The fourth and final episode will leave you on the edge of the seat the entire time during the shocking conclusion. Anime doesn't get any better than this.

Movie Review: Rurouni Kenshin: Betrayal
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful anime. It's got nice animation, interesting storyline, good character development, and great action sequences. This is one of the best series that is currently being released. You will not be disappointed.
