Obcessive RK Fans Unite!

Is there anyone else out there that is hoplessly obcessed With RK? as of now ive seen every eppie of kenshin TV and OVA including the 2nd OVA Ive seen the Movie in English and in Japanese i own every single piece of Kenshin music put out and i bought the manga series ^^;;;;;;; i own a sword and can do some of kenshins techs O.O And just to get this straight the Sakabatou is not a real sword and isnt even possible to create given the many series of steps to creating a katana because the back is a softer steel than the edge so it can absorb the shock of battle and not shatter. therefore reversing the edges would weaken the sword. and in the manga when kenshin faces Aoshi he says the katana is built for the swing not the stab well in that instance he was holding the blade not that handle and being it a reversed blade sword it would have cut his thumb off because the shock of hitting something would have forced the edge through his skin and bones had it have been a real katana then it wouldnt do that. anyway if ur obcessed enough to notice that reply! ^^x oh and if u say oro in real life like me ^^;;;

 

I know, the sword really does match it's user that way Welcome to the site, I'm glad to have you here at MangaToAnime

Here goes my Kenshin obsession: BakaMattSu lent me the tapes to the series about 2 years ago, I think it was, and I became hooked instantly. The first thing of Kenshin I saw, though, was the Tsukio Hen OVA's and I expected the series to be very dark and bloody as well. But right away I started work on The Domain of the Hitokiri(and yeah I know the layout isn't that great... I'm remaking it as we speak!!!) And created Hitokiradio too, but that went down with the new internet radio policies and all... I have posters and action figures too

How much did the Sakaba cost? I want to get me one!!


aside: I think I should change my avatar I've had it for a while and need a change... and people won't get us confused

 

kewl kewl! another obcessed RK fan! ^^ well as i said the sakaba katana doesnt exist. one things thats neat about the sakabatou is if u break down the kanji in the name u get reversed=saka ba=edged tou=sword ^^ just a little interesting japanese lesson

 

I've only seen a couple episodes, but its already my favorite anime. I watched it with my cousins and they said it was better to see the OVA's after you've finished the series. Is that true?

 

well that kind of depends on which episodes you've seen i personally think you should see the OVAs if uve seen up to episode 28 or so or manga number 7. because thats when u really need to learn more about Kenshins past as the Hitokiri Battousai. but i guess it depends on ur taste.


BTW u can ask me anything about Rurouni Kenshin and ill get u a answer

 

well technically yes but the Jinchuu Arc was made by a totally different animator. actually the First OVA was produced as a pre cursor for the TV series.

 

i know that. if uve seen the Seishou hen its literally the Jinchuu Arc. although the characters looks have been drastically changed. also the Tsukio Hen OVA was animated by a different animator than the TV series



seisho hen OVA is the Jinchuu Arc animated the Tuskio Hen is the pre coursor to the TV series. well technically its from the Jinchuu Arc but it doesnt start with Kenshin telling the tale. its just about Hitokiri Battousai and the Ishin Shishi. in the manga where you really learn about Hitokiri Battousai is the Jinchuu arc manga 19-21 to be exact. but the Tsukio hen OVA isnt really from Kenshins point of View. (aka the TV series Kenshin). the Seishou hen is the Jinchuu arc. ive already read all the manga. ^^;;; bought the whole series offa ebay ^^;;; anyway..

 

I'm another obsessed Rurouni kenshin fan! I own 16 out of 22 DVD's in the Kenshin DVD collection (not Samurai X). Sagara Sanosuke is my favorite character-- I even have a complete Sanosuke outfit -- working on the zanbatou replica when I move to Japan in 2005

Sanosuke!

I just became a obbssesed Rurouni Kenshin fan about a month ago by a friend of mine, I just stated the Kyoto line a couple days ago.

 

hmmmmm are u reading the manga or watching the series? the manga is quite good in my oppinon great actually
^^

 

watching the series, I haven't found the manga yet.

 

its not to hard to find if u get the original japanese mangas. itll run u about 150 for the whole set on ebay of somewhere round 200 from a bookstore. if u do decide to get the japanese ones i have the translations for the whole set

 

Here is a link to buy the Rurouni Kenshin mangas on AnimeNation, http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-b...n manga&.autodone=http://www.animenation.com/

enjoy!

 

you can also go here to find just about any *japanese* mangas www.kikiwai.com or just search on ebay thats where i got the Kenshin manga set i own

 

Thanks! but I don't buy stuff online... actually I'm going to ask the bookstore near me to start buying the mangas b/c he already has Sailor moon series, inyuasha (did I spell it right?) and a lot of other mangas so maybe he'll like my suggestion and I can just buy them there! what do u guys think?

 

hmmmm thats a decent way to get them but it usually cost more to buy them like that. btw Inu Yasha is spelled Inu Yasha
