What is this show or episode about?

First of all, I would like to tell you that this show is Japanese anime. It is about a man-slayer named Kenshin Himura. He has now changed and sworn to protect the innocent and never kill again. He has great friends and does not like to fight. Kenshin uses a reverse blade sword so he can't kill. The show is much more interesting than it sounds! 

How frequently do you watch this show?

I watch it every time I'm home, and try to tape it if I'm not 

Do you like the plots or stories of the show? What do you like or dislike about them?

I love the plot of the show!!! There is really nothing I dislike, except that sometimes because the show is sooo good it seems extremely short (it is really 30 minutes). 

Is there anything you would like to see happen in the story of the show right now?

Yes, I would like Kenshin's side to win, so they can save Kyoto from Shishio! (Makoto Shishio is the bad guy). 

Who are the main actors and actresses on this program, or the people who star in it?

These are the main characters: Kenshin, Miss Kouro, Yahiko, Misou, the other Oniwaban, the Jupengatana, Shishio, Sito, Sonoske, and there are many other minor characters (but they are still important). 

How would you describe the acting?

Fantastic! 

Do you feel like you know the characters in the show personally, or that you can relate to the characters or people in it? Who is your favorite or least favorite?

My favorite character is Kenshin. Because he is quiet and kind, but can have a temper when he wants to. Kenshin can also go from mad to really happy! And he always looks back at whoever he is leaving when he has to go somewhere! My least favorite character, I don't have one!!!! 

What age group would most enjoy watching this show? Any ages who wouldn't like it or shouldn't watch it?

I think boys 7-12 would like it most. But I know that I and many other girls like this show too. Rurouni Kenshin is not inapropriate for any age group. Even my little 4 1/2 year old brother likes it!!! 

Do you know any interesting facts about the show, its actors or creators?

What, if anything, would you change about the way show is written, staged, or produced? Do you like the way the characters talk, what they wear, what the set looks like, etc.?

I love everything about the show!!!!!! 

Do you have any other comments about yourself or the program that would give us a better understanding of your review?
