Anime Bitching: Rurouni Kenshin = Crap on a Stick?!

Admit it. Even if you say you're sick and tired of the never-ending re-runs of Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) when you watch it and it happened to be one of his kick-ass fights (which is anything along and after the Raijuta episodes) you'll b watching it again and singing its catchy ending theme. Even if it was just for one episode. Still.

But what's there to bitch about? We all know that Rurouni Kenshin is a tried and tested title. It hanged along the walls of Dragon Ball, Sailormoon and Gundam as one of the best and much influencial anime titles out there. But what exactly is there to bitch about?!

Well... In episodes 28 (which is the ned of season 1) to 31 is probably one of the best episodes, based on how far I'm watching the re-runs in AXN, art-wise. The fluid and the OMFG-ness of Saitou and Kenshin's fight was simply: "OMFG!!1!"The animation was fluid, the music was beautiful and the both Kenshin and saitou looked EXTREMELY HOT during the fight and the said epside on general. And the Kenshin and Kaoru is one of the best HET moments in the series. =)

But what the HELL happened after the said episodes?! Rurouni went back to its under-budget look. Bah. Big eyes, crappy "effects" used to make the production people's laziness O_O Crap on a stick. That's what it was.

BAH.
