Manga Central: Rurouni Kenshin

The first Rururoni Kenshin OAV's are a look back into Kenshin's past. (See Ruroni Kenshin series synopsis for details on the characters) The animation style is a stark contrast to the TV series, and the atmosphere is much darker and grittier as well.

This is the story of how Kenshin came to be, and what made him the way he is. A great soundtrack, and smooth clean animation with a great story to tell.
