No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.
It was excellent and has some of the best music in anime history.
Aoshi was my favorite character along with Kenshin.
I was going to say the same thing about the music.
And the mental battle was obviously one of the best plots created, but also I liked how they placed the story into history.
No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."

Oh man, are they on Youtube? I torrented them all ages ago, haha.
I think I'm one of the only people who like Kenshin more then the Samurai X movies. But they are both very enjoyable.
I owned the first two seasons a few years back before my collection got jacked.
First season is superior, if only because it had a much more realistic tone to it then season 2 (Not saying it was realistic, mind you, just less far fetcthed then it became). I felt it lost some of it's charm with that.
Still though, great fun it is.
Oh, I should clarify, I've never seen Samurai XI should get on that!
I own Samurai X, but I've misplaced it somewhere. I need to go through my trout. I never thought of myself as a hoarder before, but you know there's a problem when you can't find... anything. Anyway, I've watched the entire RK series. Sometimes I have the ending theme stuck in my head. Sometimes, I can remember the lyrics something like hito iira, no rii ash'ito and so on.. Sometimes, it makes me think of a Gundam show that used to come on before or after RK on Cartoon Network. I could swear the lyrics had Shining Finger in it, but when I look it up it's only a quote from the show and has nothing to do with lyrics. Pisses me off.

Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
Oh god I wish I could find the video, but I haven't seen it for years.
It's a Parody video someone made with Mog from FF VI going on a smurfing murder spree from Samurai X.
But dammit I can't find it!
I decided to start watching again tonight! Couldn't wait until tomorrow
I've only ever seen seasons one and two, and season two is just the greatest to me. Season one drags on sooo long, perhaps because it is introducing characters and telling all their stories, and season three started out weird and I never wanted to finish it (I read that this season wasn't derived from the manga as it was still being written, so perhaps that is why), though it has been a long time since I attempted.
Season two rules, in any case! Just the best of the best. Shishio and all of his compadres are just fantastic, and I know it gets me right to the heart when Sojiro's story is unfolded. I am tempted to skip straight to the second season but for sake of linear alignment I think I'll watch it all from the beginning.
I fully admit my preferance for Season 1 is that I watched Kenshin for the more down to earth fights compared to a lot of other anime.
There were a couple times it ramped it up, yes, especially with the dude who basically paralyzed people with fear. But Season 2 had that nutty sword that was all wobbly and stretched around things, and the guy whose sword was covered in fat so it ignited into flames from the friction.
Season used the somewhat sureal stuff it had to basically enhance the atmosphere and lore of the show. While the fights and story in season 2 are awesome, it wasn't really what I got into Kenshin for.
I felt the best part of Season one was 'The Spell of the Oni-Waban', which I am sure I am spelling wrong, where people swore they were dodging the guys attacks correctly, but still the hit would land. Turn's out the 'spell' was an obtical illusion from the pattern printed on his arm to make it appear shorter then it was.
>>> I liked RK but I never bought the fact that an skinny and girly guy could become that powerful..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
Haha, the bendy sword was a bit of a stretch of imagination. Cho is so great though!
All the same, though, I think I watched season two first, so I prefer it. I am fairly certain, too, that it made me cry on more than one occasion. I also think it's much more adventure-packed with all the traveling and showing the two sides of the coin of what is going on in the story.
You're definitely write about the second season being more action packed and what not, a lot of the fights were definately cooler. Just as I said though, different that what I went in wanting.
Still should re-watch it though, it's been far too long.
