Rurouni Kenshin - Reminiscence and seisouhen

Post by **Sahlen** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 8:52 pm

About the manga again.
I'm still thinking about buying it or not and there's one last think that could convince me buying it.
I'm really interested in master Hikos life before he retired.
Are there any story's told about him in the manga?

If you were talking about the peacemaker kurogane manga earlier if it wouldn't get boring after watching the anime, the anime only goes up to a certain point. The manga that I have continues the story from where the anime left off.

I wasn't talking about Peace Maker Kurogane.
But anyway since you're talking about it...
I've watched the first episodes today and it seems pretty interesting.
Where did ya get the manga from and which Volume is it?

I'm from Germany and it isn't licensed here so there should be no problems of it being legal or not.

I hope I'm not shit talking

You can find peacemaker manga in mangacity.net
Also there isnt sadly a story about Hiko other than the what you see in the anime and manga.

Mrjootan: How much longer is the peacemaker manga compared to the anime who pissed me off when it ended right when it got intresting.

Not really sure how many volumes there are for it, I've got the first 3 and I know there's a 4th but that's all I know

The 3 vols you have cover longer than the anime?

Do you buy it or read the scans?

The first manga in the series is shinsengumi imon peacemaker and the second series is peacemaker kurogane which does go past the anime and further. I bought the manga although I know I can get it from manga-city.

Afraid not. Seijuro Hiko was ignored by Watsuki-san on purposes. He knew how cool Seijuro was, but he didn’t want him to steal the show. The manga is about Kenshin after all. That’s the official reason that Watsuki-san gave for the rareness of Seijuro in the series. The Rurouni Kenshin manga is awesome though. You can get it from EG off of IRC.

Kind of like what Mitsoumi and Shin did in Tenjo tenge.

Heh, yeah, pretty much.

Which was a good thing since i didnt like how much they talked about Nagis potential bla bla bla.....

The anime was a waste of time, i only hope the manga is better.

Well I like the anime it has good humor and hot babes. Ok... also in the manga, but at least they are animated

Aya must be shot to make it the perfect manga.

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 3:15 am

Aya is one of the reason i didnt like anime much speciely the ova you know what i mean if you have seen the the ova.

Post by **Starnum** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 5:26 am

Yeah, Aya was annoying at first, but I think she's gotten a lot better.

Post by **Malvado** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 5:39 am

I'm still planning to kill her.

I geuss you havent seen the ova?

Post by **Grahf** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 3:27 pm

Maya still pwns Aya anyday.

well back to the topic I personally liked Trust and Betrayal alot more.

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 3:50 pm

Trust and betrayel isnt that the one when Kenshin is younger and is married to Tomoe. If it is that is the best ova.

Post by **Grahf** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 6:27 pm

Yep that is Trust and Betrayal. I remember someone raved about it before (at the time I couldn't stand Kenshin) then I watched it. Man it was deep.

Such a great OVA.

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:09 am

The kenshin anime never got that good after that. Since it was the first anime i watched that ova,if it sucked i wouldnt be watching anime today...what a horribale thought....

Post by **Starnum** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 6:22 am

Yeah, Trust and Betrayal are good, but the manga does it better.

Oh, and Reflection was horrible!

Post by **Malvado** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 6:26 am

Trust and don't love me no more was good right when the first bandit was diced into many pieces and just got better when kenshin stabbed the sword upwards into the guards head. Felt like Ninja Scroll all over again.

Post by **Sahlen** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 11:19 am

ehmm...

Is "Trust and Betrayal" just another name for "Reminiscence" or am i getting the whole thing wrong?

Yeah reading it is better than watching what I say.

Reflection was horrible well it was nice to see Kenshin's son use Mitsurugi and all that. OO yeah and Enishi was cool too. Other than that garbage.
