One of the advantages of living in the 3rd world is that the law doesn't prohibit the pirated market. So about 2 months ago I went out searching for the tv series on dvd but wasn't able to track them down. I eventually came across a stand with a Samurai X poster and immediately asked what they had on dvd concerning the anime. The guy said he only had 3 dvds: one of them was the motion picture, and the other two were titles OVA Remembranzas & Huellas del Pasado. When I asked about the tv series he told me that he had also looked for those episodes on dvd but could not find them either. He said that a dvd with the tv series doesn't exist to his knowledge. Even though I didn't find what I originally wanted I bought all three of the dvds he had for 30 soles!( aproximately 9 dollars)

Remembranzas is about Kenshi's past involving everything from when his guardians were killed by assasins to his training with Hiko and his legacy as Batusai the Slasher including how he got the X scar. Huellas del Pasado is probably the strangest piece of the anime I've ever seen. It 's like this rehash of some of the tv episodes such as the samurai who kidnaps Kori, casts a spell on her, and then tries to get Kenshi to turn back into Batusai by killing him; along with a battle between him and Tomoe's brother who wants vengeace for his sister's death and finally Kenshi's death by some sudden leprosy like disease

. Does anyone know what this all means?

wow!! i have never heard of kenshin dieing like that. the last episode that i have seen on the tv series (and i've actually had the dvd set for the tv series but i borrowed them so they wasn't mine

) and it just ended when kouru and kenshin just hug and you get to see the whole gang as kenshin and kouru come back from a vacation like thing.

when i watched the 'fillers' i thought those people used rulers too. it was odd to see but yet the 'filler' episodes were odd. so it goes together in a way. i didnt' really see any connection b/w the 'filler' episodes and the others. i think they just did that to let us watchers know what they had done after the shishio sagas. i liked them in the end tho. i can't hate a kenshin episode no matter how off topic it might be..........

Actually, the episodes you are refering to about Kenshin's death are in the Reflections DVD. You can more than likely find it online. Reflections also shows scenes from the arc that should have been shown at the end of Rurouni Kenshin that involves Enishi (Tomoe's younger brother). The Enishi Arc is in the manga, but only in Japanese. It hasn't been translated yet. Damn filler episodes.

lets tell them to hurry up and translate them then. lol i probably could find them online but i have an old computer so i prob wont be able to watch them. they could've had more interesting fillers though.

Damn right! I had to rely on the pretty pictures and a friend who sort of knew a little Japanese to stumble thru the plotline. grrrrr....

The unanimated "missing" 3rd Arc (Revenge Arc) is probably the best in my opinion. It really fills a lot of blanks from the OVAs, as well as other characters in the show. You find out about Sanosuke's family (and his real last name), meet more members of the Yukishiro family, find out whatever happened to the Juppongatana member that ran away (Iwanbo, the bouncing fat guy), and conclusion to the relationship between Kenshin and Kaoru. Oh yeah, and of course you get to meet Enishi, that badass.

Oh yeah, favorite Character? Probably Aoshi or Saito. The characters that are like.... "I'm a jerk, but I'm still cool"

Definately Saitou...I love that man! But I do love Enishi from the manga. He was cool in that psycho badass kinda way....
