Samurai X, my favourite anime

When I was younger, I always read lots of manga (Japanese comic books) and anime (Japanese animation). This hobby is proven by my big collection of the manga and anime, everytime there are new serials coming up, I will save and spend my money for purchasing that. I read lots of manga, from doraemon, marmalade boy, mari-chan, and more and more, my wardrobes are full of them.

But there's one of my favourite anime that I am greatly touched, intrigued by it, i.e Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin/ Wandering Samurai).

A brief intro from wiki:

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story (るろうに剣心 明治剣客浪漫譚 Rurō ni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Rōmantan?),[1] also known as Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai X, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The fictional setting takes place during the early Meiji period in Japan. The story is about a fictional assassin named Himura Kenshin, from the Bakumatsu who becomes a wanderer to protect the people of Japan. Watsuki wrote this series upon his desire of making a shōnen manga different from the other ones that were published in that time, with Kenshin being a former assassin and the story taking a more serious tone as it continued. Although the tragic tone was highly expanded as the manga advanced, Watsuki became determined to give it a happy ending as it was aimed at teenagers.

I simply love this story, Himura Kenshin is simply cute and handsome, I have the complete anime series and the OVA (Original Video Animations). I love it! I also learn a lot about Meiji era in Japan.

Now, look at him, isn't he cute!! I did have crush on him! Haha...Here are some scenes in the anime!
