For fans of the fluid and lethal movements of the sword fighting of Demon Slayer, Rurouni Kenshin is the perfect series to give a chance while waiting for the movies to release. Rurouni Kenshin was a classic series released in the late 1990s, but it received a reboot recently that has garnered monumental praise.
The story follows a former soldier, Kenshin Himura, who has been driven to pacifism after earning the nickname "Battosai," or "Manslayer." Try as he might, Kenshin can not shed his ruthless past and constantly becomes enthralled in violence, even as society begins to move away from tradition. The sword-slinging action of Rurouni Kenshin may lack the supernatural element of Demon Slayer, but fans will enjoy the emotional journey wrapped around samurai vs. Samurai action.
