It is the tale of a wondering samurai warrior called Kenshin Himura seeking penance for his past crimes as an assassin known as "Battôsai the man-slayer", during the Bakumatsu (the final days of the Tokugawa government) in Japan.
He seeks and finds shelter in the dojo of Miss Kaoru Kamiya. Miss Kaoru is the primary instructor of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū fighting style developed by her late father, and she wants to resurrect that style of fighting.
Kenshin himself is the master of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu style of sword fighting. He rescues Kaoru when she is in dire trouble with a local gang of thugs with is ferocious fighting style.
Kenshin finds much in common with Kaoru and he moves in to stay with her. Kenshin is then joined by in later episodes with Sanosuke Sagara and Yahiko Myôjin.
And so begin the adventures of Kenshin....
This is my favorite anime of all time. It has plenty of lessons to teach us about life. The character of Kenshin is very humble and polite and at the same time full of courage and justice. He is dedicated to protect the weak and to uphold the law and fight oppression when necessary.
There are 95 episodes in all, followed by 3 animated films namely Samurai X: the motion Picture, Samurai X - Trust and Betrayal, and Samurai X - Reflections.
Overall full 10/10 and a historical masterpiece, a testament to that age, that honors those brave Samurai who perished on the battlefield and shows the suffering of those in that age.
Kenshin may your ideals inspire the newer generations and may you always find a place in their hearts.
