Samurai X - Betrayal

the story to Samurai X - Betrayal compelled me... it was a breath of fresh air as i watched so many attempts for anime movies

This is not the Kenshin of Saturday morning cartoons, this story is incredibly dark and at times tragic. Probably the best animated film I've ever seen and I actually despise the Kenshin TV series. Even if you have never heard of Kenshin before - watch this. I challenge anyone to find a better animated film.

Samurai X - Betrayal's animation is superb and very realistic. They also made great choices for the voice cast!

Ok there are 3 movies out. Samurai X : Trust And Betrayal, Samurai X : Relection, and Samurai X : The Motion Picture.

Trust and betrayal is a very good, well told story, of the transition of a boy to a young man. It takes place in the revolution of Japan. The boy, kenshin, aka Shinta, is a young assasin with an undefeated sword style. The movie is named trust and betrayal because he falls in love and then is betrayed.

Reflection is about Kenshins life after the series Rurouni Kenshin. This movie is meant to make people think and it is "sad." The movies are commonly called "OVAS" and consist of 6, 30 minute long episodes.

Overall the OVA's are very good and I would recommend them to anyone who likes anime such as Ninja Scroll.
