Rorouni Kenshin

I'm not really an animè fan. But for some reason, I do remember Kenshin from high school. Though, I must admit that I really don't have any idea regarding the storyline.

We watched Rorouni Kenshin in 2D last Thursday at SM Bacolod. I was really hesitant at first but my boyfriend really pushed me to watch. We found out that it's exclusively showing in SM Cinemas so make sure to head over to Movietime if you want to catch this Samurai X movie on the big screen.

Over all, I liked the story. I liked the idea of a samurai who wants to redeem himself by not killing another person again. Kenshin resorted to carrying a reverse-edged sword so he won't be able to hurt his enemies. In battles, it is him who gets hurt by his sword. Now, that is nobility and dedication to leave being a samurai. There are, after all, different ways to exact justice without killing your enemies. Like torture. Haha! I also appreciated knowing how he got the X scar on his face which led to him being known as Samurai X. I loved knowing about the dojos, the samurais, and the effects of opium. It was educational, in a way.

Jerome said that it was a very accurate representation of the animè version. We will have to take his word for it because he's the expert in this area. 😀

My friend told me that she used to watch Samurai X and all those animé shows in elementary. It was a way of getting closer to her crush and having a conversation starter. It's funny that this still works 15 years later.

TIP: If you want to ask a guy out, he'll probably be more amiable if you suggest to watch this SAMURAI X movie. Based on my experience, it gained me many cool girlfriend points. Hahahaha!
