Trust And Betrayal... Simply the best OVA i ever seen. Tragic, nostalgic ,melancholic emotive, and epic. A truly masterpiece. The soundstrack is really taciturn and the animation is beautiful.

So true! I also like that the animation has a somewhat old school look to it - it really does look outstanding.

Agree with you there - the animation, sountrack etc. I love it all! I haven't seen Trust and Betrayal yet, but I'm at episode 22 of the Rurouni Kenshin anime at the moment and I'm a bit uncertain when it's best to watch the OVAs. I'm really looking forward to watching them!

@mundiladefutbol

10y↑4

***** Oh really? The anime is amazing too, but you should read the manga when you pass the part of shishio. Trust and betrayal is a prequel, so if you want, you can watch the ovas right now jeje!

Miguel Angel Castillo Mazoza cuando amas liberas. Solo el ego exige tener a su lado a una persona porque cree que eso es amar, equivocadamente cree que encerrar es amar cuando en realidad amar es lo contrario de " querer" amar es liberar, entregar, dejar ir, solo amas cuando dejas ir. Cuando aceptas este momento tal como es, en un estado sereno, estas en unión con el Ser, estas en paz.

+Natural Selection exactly. dont need no bull shit filler about fucken the takeda selling opium

@patrickmalone3665

+mooppy mcd I'm in the middle of watching the series now, and I feel same way. Some of the themes they deal with are actually quite mature, and the story itself (for some of the arcs) is pretty good, but some of the execution is over dramatic, and a lot of the villains seem to have the same (or at least very similar) reasons for fighting, so it gets a bit boring. It does have a lot of potential though, for a dark, grounded remake. P.S. I just skip the filler episodes.

@patrickmalone3665

mooppy mcd Apparently, the last, like, 30 episodes of the show are filler, so I was going to read the parts of the manga that come after shishio.

@illmaticQB94

+mooppy mcd I honestly hated the reflections ova. to me it had a lot of potential to fully reenact the final arc of the manga but wasted a lot of that to show Shit we already saw before. don't even get me started on the ending. this ova however I found to be perfect.
