No, that's crap.
I wasn't really that into Kenshin the series untill 30 episodes in, but then I started watching 2 and 3 episodes a day. That's why stealing anime is better, if you really like the series after you watch it and have the money to buy the DVDs you can buy them then. You have to remember that in Japan there's no financial investment required to tune in next week to see where this is going.
