As a preface to this blog post, I want to say that I have not seen the anime for a long time nor read the manga of Rurouni Kenshin. I watched the first Rurouni Kenshin film in 2012 and was amazed by the choreography and amused seeing the characters again on the big screen. Four sequels later, the series continues to have amazing choreography and cinematography that make the film series one of my favorites.
I also love the films for being not too serious; the manga roots still show in the films. The whole cast is amazing and lovable including the villains. The soundtrack was good too although I admit I wanted more variety.
The series' biggest strength is its fight choreography. As the films are action-packed, they have eye-catching action scenes. There were some scenes in each series that I wished had fewer cuts, but all in all, the action sequences are outstanding.
