Kenshin DVD: worth it?
I'm debating on whether or not to invest in the DVDs of Rurouni Kenshin. I've seen some of the series in Japanese, and loved it, but I wonder if it's worth it to spend a bunch of money on the series to see it in english with DVD quality. Personally, I prefer not having to read constantly to get the idea of what is being said, although it doesn't bother me too much to do so. That being said, is it worth buying, and if so, what's a good price to look for?
Thanks

that was the first series that I bought on DVD even though it's bootleg. It's fantastic, definately worth buying. DON'T WATCH IT DUBBED, don't do it it's too bad, you just can't beat the original voice actors, not with a big stick. I don't know how you could go through the Shishio saga in english dub, it's heracy.
buy it, love it

Not in any way! Do not support the rapeing of good series. Purchase offical coppies of good quality. Not that.... filth! Take your pick: DVD, VHS, or Laserdisc. Sorry no Betamax

I think it's worth getting, up to a certain point. Certainly get up to the end of the Shishio arc, and maybe a little further because there's an episode after the resolution of the Shishio arc which is my absolute favorite Kenshin episode (episode 66). But after the Shishio arc, the anime had outpaced the manga storyline and so they made up entirely new episodes separate of the manga and a lot of people bash on them as being all filler, so your mileage may vary on those post-Shishio episodes.
But since there's so many Kenshin DVDs, I'd wait until Media Blasters releases some boxsets, unless they specifically said they weren't going to make them. I don't remember them saying either way and I haven't seen an R1 boxset yet though.

The thing I hated about the series was the fact that it too soon became about the special moves. I loved the OAV and the series is ok but if you are only wanting to see the series, just wait until March 17 and watch it on CN. I know that it will be edited but if you are only out to watch the series than CN is better than just buying the series.
