Has anyone seen this Anime? It's fantastic!

The story opens in the tenth year of Japan's Meiji period, a time of peace and modernization. Kenshin Himura is a former samurai who is trying to leave behind his "man slayer" image. He becomes a wanderer and, armed with his reverse-blade sword, tries to erase the blood stains on his hands and the guilt of killing so many men, by helping people.
He journeys to Tokyo.

He happened upon the troubled kamia Kashin dojo and it's owner, a woman name Kaoru. After saving her life twice he desides to stay at the dojo with her for a while.

More characters are added on and each are loads of fun.

Later, in the second season, Kenshin is called upon to return to his samurai ways to protect the meiji government from another former samurai who seeks to plunge Japan into another era of chaos with the help of other like-minded samurai.

Kenshin must choose between staying with his friends and the woman he has come to love or return to Kyoto to defend the peace and perhaps, be forced to kill again.

*screams* I love kenshin! Well at least I liked what I've seen of it. Only 4 episodes and sometimes I watch the dub but I don't usually judge anime on dubs because they're usually edited so much. It would probably be one of my favorite animes if I could see more of it. *shrugs*

and this is OT but I love your avatar. ^-^

Well, you didn't have to scream in my ear

. I've only seen the edited dub on Cartoon Network. I've heard the pure version is very bloody.
Judging on how badly they edited Yu Yu Hakusho, I'd hate to see pure Kenshin. I'd be constantly saying, why would they edit something so innocent?

Thank you! Isn't Kurama the coolest?
