Rurouni Kenshin DVD-BOX Special Ending

If you loved the RK manga and hated the fact that the Jinchuu Arc never made it into the anime, and if you hate how the Himura family was treated in Seisouhen, this is for you. It's only three minutes long, but it portrays the Himura family the way Nobuhiro Watsuki pictured them: as a happy, functional family living in the new era, instead of the way Seisouhen portrayed them.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS MISSING IN MY RUROUNI KENSHIN EXPERIENCE AND ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN THIS NEEDS TO WATCH IT. It is 3 minutes long and provides an ending after the original series. I'm not even going to break this down because it is 3 minutes long but basically if you like Rurouni Kenshin then you will enjoy this. If you hate Seisouhen because you know the whole manga situation with it then this is for you because that is why this 3 minute special was created... for those who wanted a more manga based ending. 3 minutes it took and I was ... about to be in tears because it was a genius idea with the beautiful music and everything. You can either replace Seisouhen with this or finish Rurouni Kenshin, watch the special episode 95 watch this 3 minute special and then watch Seisouhen and have a complete Rurouni Kenshin experience. This is for haters of Seisouhen and lovers of the greatest Samurai character ever... that it is...

(Literally this is on YouTube no need to search everywhere to find it)

This is basically a post-credit scene for the series. As such, this will, expectedly, be enjoyable depending on how much you liked the series. Shocking, I know.

It’s honestly nothing special though. Few lines of narration that try to sound profound (but do not success much). Kaoru leaning against a pillar. Some still images of characters are existing in the background, doing literally nothing, just reminding the audience that they did appear in the story. Kenshin appears. “Oh my god they are together wooooow!” moment (please read the part in quotation marks with appropriate deadpan delivery). The end. Well that was pretty uneventful.

Even if I hypothetically ... really liked the series and actually cared about the fate of the characters, this isn’t any grandiose finale. I dare to say it’s almost nothing. Mere implication of content, a fleeting illusion of scenario. If anyone thinks this is extremely important, then it’s only fault of the series of not actually including this short scene somewhere – that doesn’t mean the scene itself is of extraordinary quality.

But yeah I guess that if you enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin you should, probably, watch this.
