Battosai

As I write this, I can't help but feel still a bit giddy.

Kenshin Himura. He was one of the anime I adored when I was bumming after graduation, reviewing for board exams, passing it, and hunting for a job. Kenshin, to say the least, is one of, if not the, the cutest anime there is. *gasps for air* Well, he was rocking a red-do! That should in itself say something, right? 

Anyway, over the weekend, Jenny and Artu invited me to watch the live, Japanese adaptation of the anime series. It did not disappoint. It left me awestruck, and totally sold to Japanese movies. After Battle Royale, Rurouni Kenshin is epic in all its gory details. The fast paced action scenes were more than I could handle. I deeply, deeply, loved how the series was economized in a two-hour format. With the essentials still intact.

I mostly forgot all other characters, and even then, I still learned to appreciate the film. I need to watch it again. Only to make a better review. Until then, Kenshin!

P.S. I had a problem with my boyfriend. He was 2D. Now, he's live! I will see you again, Kenshin Himura. :)

UPDATE:
We watched Rurouni Kenshin again last Saturday. And I'm still struggling with words. I and my measly words. They could never define the epicness that is the film. :) Go. Watch it. Now.
