*comes running in with arms held high above head, screaming and hollering, spins around a few times, bashes forehead against a random doorframe, and runs back out into a random hallway that has suddenly appeared, screaming and whooping the whole time until she runs so far down the hallway that her voice finally dies out*
Random Parakeet in the room: It was the first episode...it was really funny. Kenshin's such a klutz!
[SPOILER]
When Kaoru first saw him in the beginning and tried to hit him with her wood sword, Kenshin did this fancy flip over her and landed on a board hanging over a fence in slow motion, all fancy-shmancy-like, but the board broke just as his sandal touched it and he fell onto the ground. He had a bucket on his head and was going "Aaoooooooo, aaaaooooorgh!" Then he said that he was a wanderer three times in a row: "I'm a wanderer. I'm merely a wanderer. A wandering swordsman, that I am! *shakes his head to throw off the bucket*"
Heart of Sword laughed for most of eternity, partly because Kenshin had done something super-klutzy----ruining his fancy move----and because he'd said the same thing three times in a row.
Then, Kaoru was yelling at him, and Kenshin's eyes were huge and white. She was pushing him back with his sakabatou and getting in his face and he looked very "Oro"-like. Then the whistle blew, Kaoru threw Kenshin's sword into the air, it whirled around in the air a few times with Kenshin underneath it looking scared, then he held out his sheath and the sword fell perfectly into it!
And later, Kenshin got in trouble with Kaoru for accidentally seeing her in the bath (he thought she was trying to commit suicide), and she locked him up in a room all day as punishment and finally came back to check on him at night (he had already gotten out somehow, though). It was really funny...
[/SPOILER]
Does anyone else here think that the first episode of the anime was funnier than the first part in the manga?
