Careful tenderness in the turbulent world

Can you really evoke a bloody storm? - Shedaba
Shall we go together, Otsu - Kenshin

This ova made me insist on completing the TV version and the comic version, which complemented and deepened the entire animation. The first time I came into contact with the TV version was in junior high school. At that time, I felt that many of the settings were really inconsistent. The plot was a little dull, and I didn't insist on watching it several times. After the reminiscence chapter, I will watch the TV version of Kenshin laughing and laughing. He is really happy and sad. I hope he can be happy all the time o(TヘTo) ಥ_ಥ.

Of course, it won't cause any discomfort simply by looking at it as a movie: the color of the picture, the rhythm of the plot, and the ink-and-wash titles divided into chapters are all excellent and highly recommended.

There are a few classic scenes that are still fresh in my memory:

1. Swords face each other between Kenshin and Qingli Lane: smooth movements, just the right mirroring and picture colors, despair, obsession, and unwillingness. The only thing that puts me at ease is Kiyosato's classic flag to get married when I go back (I'm an emotionless killer).

2. Kenshin and Ba Yu met in the rain: not much to say, the classic scene, killing can be so romantic, let's cry.

3. Jianxin and Ba live in seclusion in the mountains: like driftwood in the turbulent flow, candlelight in the cold night, the two are attached to each other, the edge of the blade is hidden in the gentleness of the scabbard.

4. Cross injury: In the irreversible torrent of the times, love is swaying like a boat.

For a story with a similar background setting, you can refer to "Koga Ninja Post", if you are interested, you can watch it, and it is also very classic.

    No one has the highest OVA in the history of anime.

    I have always been reluctant to compare Ba and Kaoru, they are two ends of the scale, without anyone else, no one can achieve the final Kenshin [The Star Frost Arc doesn't exist in my opinion! ! ]. But in terms of style and plot, I prefer reminiscence chapters.
