Samurai X: Betrayal

Enormously popular, the SAMURAI X series takes place in 19th-century Japan and tells the story of a wandering samurai named Kenshin. This second episode finds Kenshin and his female partner Tomoe running from Edo to a secluded farm. There they find peace they haven't been able to experience since meeting. But the two are kept informed as to the goings-on of the rebellion by Iizuka, who brings them dire news that threatens to spur the couple to action once again. One of the best OVA series ever created, SAMURAI X is an absolute visual marvel, filled with considerable violence, an engaging plot, and imaginative fight sequences that make for an unforgettable experience.
