    a good amount of the humor in the manga series comes from small puns that only work in Japanese so...unfortunetly its lost a good deal of its humor in the american version which is why i only have the Japanese version.

    well for a lot of English speaking people his american seiyuu sounds better because it is a guy. his japanese seiyuu is Suzukaze Mayo, who is a female and sings the second ending theme Namida Wa Shitteru. i personally think his japanese Seiyuu fits him much better than this american...which is kinda why i didnt really care when the pulled Kenshin off Toonami.

    My biggest objection to this terrible, horrid, atrocious english translation of the already shameful series is "Oro." Kenshin just isn't Kenshin without "Oro!" It seems American Kenshin fans and I speak a different language. They just don't understand where everything comes from, and I've actually given up discussing with them, because I have to stop and explain each of my sentences. From a cultural viewpoint, the english version isn't even on the map.
