Okay before I start things off, I would like to tell you all that I am a huge Kenshin fan. It was the first manga and anime that I started and finished. I enjoyed every part of it. Okay first off, I hate animes that go outside what the Manga and it's author intended to do. This OVA stayed true to many things in the manga, but the producer of the series wanted a dreary feeling of it. So the series was darker than it already was.
Story: This wasn't canon(even though it claimed to be, the author
...
says otherwise). This took a huge turn in the story, away from the Manga also. It added things that were never there or explained, so that really hurt it for me.
Art: The art was really good, but as I said felt dark.
Sound: Sound was good, no complaints, music felt like it synced with the scenes.
Character: The characters didn't feel the same, even though it was a time lapse, it just felt like I was watching another anime.
Enjoyment: I thought I would enjoy it, but with everything I loved about Kenshin being destroyed, just couldn't happen.
Summary: Well.... It's hard not to be biased on something I don't like. I will say it again, it isn't Canon so I won't bother to argue why. Also the author felt he had to do the series justice and release a short special that was actually his ending, so I think you should check that out, it's short but it will fill that gap in your heart that left when this came out.
