| worst ending ever. |

Kimia said: worst ending ever. It was not a true ending, the show wen downhill fast after the kyoto arc after the fillers started, and so it was cancelled. The Kyoto arc by itself deserves a perfect 10. This anime has my all time favorite villain. |

Kimia said: worst ending ever. True statement. This episode had the least amount of talking also. Nothing happened. At all. |

| I feel like I should have stopped watching after the fight with Shisio. Ah well. |

| "Post-Shishio" episodes were not that bad imo. At least they are better than Naruto or Bleach's fillers, aren't they? I got some laugh, some fighting, some romance... I feel like I'm ready to watch the OVA now, which is the #1 Anime in the list, really really looking forward to it. I heard from someone they have more impact if you watch them after the 95 episodes...Lets see. |

| This could have been very good as a stand-alone episode. But, as an ending, it does not do any justice to the series. And that sucks ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| I have no idea what happened in the last ten episodes. It just seemed like a load of rubbish straining for viewers. The fillers seriously dragged the show down. 7/10 |

| I agree. The whole show for me was a 10/10 until the filler season started. So I downgraded to 7/10, which is a shame because Rurouni Kenshin is the one of my favorites of all times. |

| Manga guys, manga... |
| Very disappointed in the way it ended. I feel unsatisfied. |
Don't fear the Reaper |
| Well... wanted give 10/10 even before watching it.... after watching it.. i cant give over 8/10... and that is also mostly cuz of my love towards that anime.... otherwise would have given 7/10 .... But yeah.. cant give higher.. since i have no freaking idea whats going on int his episode and how its related in any way.. |

| Half a year... Thinking about that is weird. Kenshin was a wanderer for 10 years before the start of the anime. TEN YEARS. Look at everything that happened in this short half a year, y'know. I can only imagine what all happened in those 10 years he was a wanderer. How did he even survive without Kaoru to take care of him? ;o This was a very romantic episode in context. It's not directly stated, but there's a vague implication of a mutual acknowledgement and understanding of a love shared between Kenshin and Kaoru. I think this is portrayed best in the scene where Kaoru reaches out for Kenshin's hand, and they're both clearly awake, then further emphasized when Kaoru goes chasing after Kenshin after the nightmare. Honestly, this would have been a decent ending to the series. That said... nothing really happened. I was struggling to pay attention during parts of it. As romantic as it was, it didn't really grab me. I definitely didn't dislike it though, so 5/10. I always feel really melancholic after finishing a long series, sad that it's over. But at least Seisouhen should be a better, proper ending to the anime series as far as I'm aware. Then there's also a huge portion of the manga to read when I get around to that, so yay~ lots more content! Side note: Is it just me, or was the animation improved in this episode? Everything looked a lot crisper and more... modern. |

| =_= A good (nah not really) way to end the anime that died from the fillers... I'm glad I wasn't the only one that suffered after the Kyoto arc. |
 |
| Leaves a lot to be desired, that's for sure. At least Reflections gave us an ending... but that sure as hell wasn't a good ending either... |
| Everything was great up until episode 62, from then on it goes downhill. Despite that, I forced myself to finish the whole damn thing. |
 |
| A pretty lackluster ending as well, even though this would be "the real ending" of the series. It still didn't feel as a proper ending for this series in my opinion. Oh well, let's see what the other ova's and specials will have to offer! |
 |
| What even was this episode, half it felt like scenery porn and the other was some weird "Hey let's show off the character's cause finale". |
| I am pretty sad to have to part ways with this anime... it was so good! Imo I think this episode did a an "okay" job of finishing off the anime, though the animation was shit xd |
 |
| Low budget af. You could really tell by all the irl shots. |
| This episode had some intricate looking shots, like Megumi wrapping a bandage around Sano's hand and Kenshin and Kaoru entering the minshuku. I thought the irl shots looked good and set the melancholic mood this episode seemed to go for perfectly fine. It's true that it did linger on some shots a bit too long, and there was a lack of film grain? It looked slightly different from the main series indeed. But overall, if you need an epilogue or sorts, you get that in the last chapter of the manga. Personally I don't feel like the epilogue does much other than spelling out Kenshin's life after the events of the main story, so while it's not bad, it also is pretty unremarkable. I would take this melancholy trip as an ending over the epilogue any day. |
