The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era.

User Reviews
A classic anime series, certainly worth a watch for anyone who's into shonen at all.
A great arc (Kyoto) surrounded by what feels like tons of filler that vary in tone and importance. Not bad, but it drags. Still iconic tho.
I really liked it, so perfect if you are in the mood for something a little more old-fashioned. A true classic.
It was great up to the Shishio arc but afterwards it kinda went down. Still highly recommend it though
An adaptation of a manga about redemption and growth marred by constant filler episodes and no ending. Also the creator is a convicted pedo.
The author is a pedophile so that's not cool.
One of the first anime I got into as a kid. Weird to revisit it...
Easily one of my favorite anime. Kenshin is disciplined and humble which make’s him a very lovable character.
This one meant a lot to me growing up and was pretty much my introduction to anime. We all stan a good redemption arc.
Not into much anime but this one started my journey. I like the slight history setting background. The action and story is great.
