People are voting emotionally.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This one starts kind of blurry, but if you are familiar with the series and/or manga you will definitely understand it perfectly.In the first part it covers the events that happened after Kaoru met Kenshin and it is all seen through Kaoru's eyes, which was an excellent idea because it let's you feel every last bit of pain happiness and sorrow that she has to endure.In the second part the plot becomes clearer and you can see that this movie returns Kenshin Himura to the original Trust and Betrayal dark and and somewhat sad atmosphere which is perfect for the main character. the story just gets you going as it is very well written and again it makes you feel everything in a genuine way. It is very interesting to see how the characters have evolved since the end of the series and you might even be in for a few surprises, big ones!The end of the movie gives a sad but somehow a relieved end to the story and the wanderings of Kenshin and it makes think about it, I must say that it even made me cry, that's how much of an impact it may have.So, this movie is one of the best to have ever came out of Japan and it may only be second to the first Samurai X movie. Watch and enjoy!

I have one major complaint about Seisô Hen. Seisô Hen was not written by Watsuki (creator of Rurouni Kenshin, so the ending in the manga is different than the OVA. The ending to this OVA is far more depressing, and according to an interview with Watsuki, he prefers the manga ending because "Kenshin went through so much crap he deserved a happy ending". The beauty of Rurouni Kenshin being fiction, you can choose which ending to believe in. Quite frankly the ending entirely ruined it for me.That aside, what you do have is a masterful OVA. The animation, artwork, and sound are of spectacular quality. When it comes to technical merit, this gets a 10/10. However technical qualities won't make up for the ending.If you've read the manga, go ahead and give it a watch. Just keep in mind that the ending is not what Watsuki wanted. I've seen it once and plan on never watching it again

Unnecessary summary of the TV series - if you haven't seen the TV series this is very confusing or at least not coherent. Even when you have watched the TV series this is a waste of time - The other OVA is far better - stick to that instead

Kenshin lasted a long time: OVAs, Movies and more then three years of television - but all good things must come to an end.Will Kaoru get Kenshin? What will happen to Yahiko and Sanouske? This 2-part Kenshin OVA answers those questions and ends the series in a worthy way. It is not as good as some of the other OVA's and TV episodes, but not bad at all.You could see it as a summary of the TV series plus a final episode. Fans will definitely not want to miss this, if only to close the magnificent book of Kenshin.Rating: 8/10
