[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Street wrote:well I just finally recieved the first Box set of Kenshin, and thankfully it was a true offical version.
But I noticed within minutes of me taken the cover off the box off, the box cover seemed to.... started to bend? and now one corner will sink into the box everytime I put it on. Happen to anyone else?
I wonder if there's away to get it replaced, I'm afriad to fool with it, cause I feel i'll break it.
Anyways as much as I've been wanting to watch Kenshin, I guess there's still one anime I have to watch before I start watching Kenshin.
Like the western twang restuarant owner gal? I kept on expecting her to say 'y'all'. *Shudder*.

But also, I guess I just liked the more serious story. Rurouni Kenshin is often very serious, but it manages to slip in comedy and stuff as well. Samurai X is completely serious. It was just a very entertaining anime.
Destroyer2000 wrote:Yeah, I love Rurouni Kenshin. I've often thought to myself, "Man, if they'd get a missionary over there he'd make a great Christian." Like Vash, Kenshin has really got the no-kill thing going.
R. Zion wrote:Anyway, a question...I know the reason Kenshin has his scar, but how long after that tragic event did he give up being Hitokiri Battousai and what exactly, compounded with the previous experience with Tomoe, caused him to give it up?
aku_soku_zan wrote:You are indeed correct about the Kakure Kirishitans. They translate it as "secret Christians", though, in the show. ANYWAY, I guess it really all just boils down to your perception of it. I didn't think that it was offensive toward Christians, it just showed a fictional group of people who believed in God. All in all, it was more sympathetic toward the Christians in the end. The sites you read that said that they were like a cult following one man were only half right. [spoiler] In Rurouni Kenshin, Shougo Amakusa was set up by another man (his name escapes me at the moment) to be the savior for the persecuted Christians in Japan during that time. Being a boy whose parents were killed by the Japanese government for believing in God, Shougo used the Christians as a method to get his revenge for his mother, in a way. [/spoiler].
Really, the big message behind this Shimabara Arc, as it is called in some circles, isn't for or against Christianity, but rather its point is that everyone should have the freedom to believe in whatever religion they want to, without being senselessly murdered over it. At least, that's what I took away from it...
aku_soku_zan wrote:Soujirou is such a good character. The episode that went into his past during his fight with Kenshin was so powerful. It really made you feel sad for the poor guy. When he went off on his own at the end of the arc, I was genuinely interested in where he was headed next. Of course, Soujirou is awesome, but Saitou is way more...awesome. Aku. Soku. Zan, kids. Aku. Soku. Zan.
