    a huge disappointment as the final chapter of this groundbreaking series. the telling of the events was muddled and incoherent, and in contrast to trust and betrayal this film just falls so short. it still has value in that the characters are interesting to watch even in such a... read moren inept film, but it was hard to watch the series end this way.

    Great movie for both teams. SWORDPLAY for the BOYS and ROMANCE for the GIRLS. Bit violent for kids though ^_^

    Decent, but lousy in comparison to its predecessor OVA. Just an attempt to cash in on the franchise.

    The first episode of this final project in the Kenshin saga is just a series of flashbacks paying tribute to many of the most memorable scenes from the TV show. The second episode than tries to have an epic final confrontation between Kenshin and his guilt ridden past, but doesn'... read moret quite pull it off. But it does end the series better than the TV show did, and that's at least worth seeing; it wraps up everything very nicely and hints at a possible future series.

    Very interesting Side Stories of Kenshin, and the Legacy of him. Very well done. few slow sections but still ok.

    DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY LOVE FOR KENSHIN! It is both depressing and pitiful. The voice actors didn't know what the crap was going on. I could go on...

    While it's good to see some scenes from the Jinchuu Arc and some re-animated scenes from the series. Most of this is simply filler.

    Another OVA for Rurouni Kenshin. Not as good as the first, but after watching all of the series, it's DAMN depressing and sad.
    The author of the manga hates it, though, because he feels that manga should always have a happy ending. I can see it, but it's hard to fault this too mu... read morech, either.
    I love pretty much anything Kenshin, so there ya go.

    This movies is a huge flashback of the Rurouni Kenshin series, and is the final chapter of Kenshin's life. It almost made me cry...
