[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 120287, member: 2067"] Heh....wow....Kenshin.... I'm not HUGE into anime, but my girlfriend's best friend is. She would, as any good anime fan, rent DVD's and videos and watch them. Usually, my girlfriend would be in the room. Often, she turns on the mental block, but not always. That's how she got sucked into Kenshin. And where the woman goes, man will follow, or Suffer the Wrath. :) So I've been drug through it, too. I enjoy it. I've mostly watched the dubbed episodes, most-all on DVD. I got an OK picture of the history (there was an unpleasant government, it was overthrown in a bloody revolution, and the new guys ain't much of an improvement), even before I took that EA Studies class that went over the textbook details of it. And my girlfriend, unaided, was able to get it pretty well. I like Kenshin because he goes against a lot of stereotypes. He's a weak man, small, feminine, easily cowed. Yet he wins pretty much any fight he gets in....unless it's with a certain love interest. He has a dark past, but he doesn't go around all brooding and dark about it...and it's not the "stylish dark antisocial type." But that's my anime rant. I'm not anti-anime, I just view it with suspicion. I enjoy Cowboy Bebop, can't stand Sailor Moon or Dragonball (or the Z version), and ain't really big into Tenchi or Gundam....so I'm a partial Cartoon Network Anime-Fan, you could say. :) I kinda hope they pick up Kenshin, but it might be too historical for them. Now "Western" enough, what with an unremarkable hero and all these reference to Japanese history that the casual viewer won't understand. [/QUOTE]
