Well, I didn't like the Ruroni Kenshin anime. Nope, it never held my interest.

Samurai-X on the other hand is more than most "new" anime I've watched that have similar themes (betrayal vengence etc.)

Anyway, ignore the fact that the title says RK. The title lies. And you know you want to watch this. After all, its Megadeth at its awesome.

Rurouni Kenshin IS Samurai X, just under a different badge for marketing reasons.

Lord Raa's correct, that's...a movie, I think? I vaguely remember hearing about it. I believe it focused around Kenshin when he was the Battosai and his relationship with his first wife until he accidentally killed her when she tried to save his life...sad. Never saw either myself...I stuck with the manga.

Edit: Ah, yes, it was an OVA series. Huzzah for Wiki.

The OVA series, which features a number of historical characters, attempts to be more realistic and accurate than the TV series. The OVA made use of live footage spliced with animation cells giving the series a different feel than straight animation. Both OVAs were re-released internationally in "Director's Cut" forms that spliced the separate "episodes" together into continuous movies, as well as adding some extra footage. The order of musical cues in both director's cut OVAs were significantly lessened and altered, although the tracks themselves were not altered or omitted.

The first OVA series, Samurai X: Trust and Samurai X: Betrayal, collectively known in Japan as Tsuiokuhen (???, Recollection?) and later edited into a movie as Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal -Director's Cut, was set during the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate and telling of Kenshin's childhood. Only a few characters from the TV series appear in this OVA, namely Kenshin. The OVA mainly depicts the life of Kenshin as Batt?sai and his time with his first wife, Tomoe.

The second OVA series Samurai X: Reflection, known in Japan as Seis?hen (???, Time?)[10] and later edited into a movie as Samurai X: Reflection -Director's Cut. It was set both during and after the timeline of the series and tells of Kenshin and Kaoru's later years, much of which is not derived from the manga. It also differs from the manga on some points, such as details in regard to the Jin-e and Enishi fights. The OVA is best described as a montage of singular events surrounding the life of Kenshin, told from the point of view of Kaoru.
