Review:

We reviewed Rurouni Kenshin The Movie(Samurai X: The Movie) this week. While the nice nostalgic art style hit home with fans of the series, it wasn’t as good for a casual viewer. The plot while not too deep isn’t too shallow and brings hard action to the table. The music while enjoyable to the movie, the dub isn’t as enjoyable to the ears. Some of the worst dubbing can be found here depending on the character… but keep in mind this is an early dub for anime. We gave this a nice 7 out of 10, Kenshin fans will love it, movie fans won’t and everyone else can enjoy it at least.

Remember, we love emails, message board posts, comments. Send your email to animeshaft@gmail.com . Any email messages(we’ll read ‘em), audio files(we’ll play ‘em) or other questions.

If you’re talking about SHAFT then you can digg it.
