I just finished watching the first five episodes of the Kyoto Arc... it's my second time watching it (first time was on Cartoon Network), but it seems all the more powerful this time around. The desicions being made and the drama of everything happening is great... I believe it is the best part of Kenshin. I haven't seen the tales of the Meiji yet, but I am quite content with this series.
It's times like these that I am reminded, it's not just animation, but a way to tell magnificant stories. That's why I like anime.

keep in mind that I think cartoon network tuned down alot of the kenshin epsoides to I saw the cartoon network version and I think the dvd is much better to for some reason even though the only probblem with kenshin is they could have ended it alot sooner then draging it on to 95 epsoides

from what ive experienced some fan subs take liberties with swear words, and from what ive seen of the R1 inuyasha theres next to no swearing in it (although im not sure if it was an uncut version)
see you space cowboy...

They did tone it down alot. I am glad I finally can see what they did from the original version. It makes the experience better to watch it uncut... untamperd, it's good.

Rurouni Kenshin isn't my favorite, but then again I don't have a favorite anime. Aside from talking about Kenshin, I thought I could ask why do you like anime? I titled this thread Rurouni Kenshin because this reminded me of why I liked anime (see my first post). Though any anime does...

Exactly. I watch anime for the stuff you don't see very often on normal tv. Japanese imagination seems to stretch much further than us western folks. I like science fiction and violence/action and horror which are big themes in alot of animes. I am starting to enjoy some of the comedy animes but the romantic shows I won't ever watch. If I want romance I will watch real people on tv.

Awesome responses! I knew I should have named the thread differently. Oh well... to late now.
It is true western cartoons don't even come close to the power of anime shows. They are more commonly used to be funny and don't go that deep. Some don't even have story continuation. Anime is above this it is more realistic and it tells a story that can be as good as some films! It's a wonderful thing.
PS. I like the ecchi's too.

Western animation is usually funnier though.
Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama, The Critic.
I rest my case.

Yes, those are all funny, but not as funny as any of those shows I mentioned. There is no contest.

I don't know about that. Goldenboy and Azumanga Daioh were pretty hilarious.
But the thing is that alot of the cultural humor is lost on us. there's even more anime out there that's funnier, but we won't understand alot of the jokes and references. So in that sense, I guess the American stuff would be funnier. Actually, there is one show that you have left out that tops all in terms of comedy. I will not give in on this until you mention THAT show!!!
