Seeing as I've never actually seen the anime, but I have read up to vol. 6 in the manga and I have several friends who've seen the series, I'm pretty sure when Kenshin's eyes turn gold it means he's gone into 'Hitokiri' mode, aka his "death glare," and such...

Minjigga:

Kenshin rocks...pure and simple.....Nice ta meet you by the way, great taste in anime.

Hope:

Hi! Don't think we ever met, but anyways I don't feel like spoiling the ending for you, being I hate it when people do that to me, I'll leave it a surprise.. :sweat:

Justice:

Once again, Hi! The question about Kenshin's eyes is that it's just a visual metephore to show when Kenshin reverts back to his training as an assasin. His former life as an assasin is treated as an instinct like nature, so whenever he's pushed too far emotionally, this nature takes over so to speak.Hence, the animal like yellow eyes, hope this explains it some.

God Bless,
Archan

yea but ITS AWESOME for the most part
You find that you have a weapon, an instrument that
will give you power over the wind and sea.
In one word, you can stop time. It is a weapon
so powerful that even God will bow
down to you and all his angels fall at your feet.
What would you do with it?

I love that show! ...and then they took it off Cartoon Network! >.< Hmph.

I wished they would start showing Kenshin on Toonami again. I looked forward to that show every week. And when it starts getting good they take it off air. Darn :(

They probably take it off so you'll buy the DVDs...I see CN as previews for DVDs.

Kenshin's cool when his eyes get yellow...means he's super-ticked-off and always means that he's about to use an awesome move.
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

It's one of, if not my favorite anime. I have only seen the series on CN (can't afford to buy any), but I do own the movie and the OVA Reflections (boo hoo, so sad :waah!: !). I enjoy the mix of slapstick and action. I just love the way his eyes go "battousi" and he starts swinging his sword.
I'm also collecting the translated manga and am enjoying it as much as the anime.
God bless 'til next time!

Spoiler: At the end of the series, Kenshin decides he needs to earn some money, so he starts drawing manga of his adventures.
