This originally started as a solo project where I wanted to give the world allllllll the Kenshin question/answers I could think of. I did about 20-something questions and decided I should post it on the Adult Swim message boards. Boy oh Boy was that a GOOD idea! (no sarcasm, it was!) Now it's grown. I'm still doing most of the Q/As and two other guys have agreed to help out with trying to explain the true characters and history behind the series. So if you have any questions about Rurouni Kenshin, feel free to ask them to me and maybe your question will end up in the FAQ! please read all the questions that are already asked before asking your own! This saves time for me and you. [/size][/center]

As far as obtaining manga of Kenshin,
Viz is currently running it with its Shonen Jump Graphic novels, its not very far along, but they are translating it to English. You can get them at just about any bookstore or online at Viz's site or probably the Shonen Jump site.
Ive been getting mine at B-Dalton, and Hastings since they carry/order practically any book/manga I want.
You can get the whole series at FYE or Hastings.. or you can do what I did and get it Hong Kong anime style at Animeniacs.com or Import Anime.com (the cheaper way to go.. )

I have converted the FAQ into a PDF file. All updates will now be inside of that PDF. The HTML page will still be there but it's going to be way outdated eventually.
Just go to the site to learn more information.

Hello, kinda quiet in here, but I'll throw in two RK questions and a comment.
1. This is more of a confirmation. When Shishio was talking to Saitou after being struck in the head with a Gatotsu, he specifically said that Saitou was the one that knocked him out and allowed him to be shot and burned by the Meji government, right? When Shishio said "you" at Saitou, I wasn't sure whether he meant Saitou specifically or the people he represented.
2. This is more of a personal question, what do people think of the english translations so far? I'm personally not very impressed, seems like they're straying from what the characters actually mean to say too often.
Comment on the FAQ: Nice work, though there's one point I sort of disagree with. It's regarding why no one walking past Aoshi in Kyoto noticed him, even Kenshin. I think this might be more of Aoshi's own ability to supress his presence (being a de facto ninja), rather than lack of anything on the part of the observers.
When Kenshin does notice Aoshi, through a set of door no less, Aoshi could simply not be suppressing his presence. Instead, he's actively emitting a typical "killing aura/ki" that all good warriors can sense. I don't think Kenshin's training with Hiko included detecting stealthy opponents, it seems that Kenshin spent most of that training period just trying to hit Hiko straight on.

Hi. Yeah, it is usually quiet around here.
When Shishio said "you", he was probably talking about the people Saitou represented. He could be referring to both as well. I'm not sure though, been quite awhile since I seen the anime or read the manga (If it's the same on that).
I've only seen a few episodes of the English translations, so I really can't comment on it. It's probably not too bad, but I usually can stand watching dubs of anime. Though, I prefer the original version for when using the attacks and such.
Hm, I would have to agree on no one noticing Aoshi. He probably was keeping his aura and presence hidden because Kenshin usually notices if anyone has their aura unsuppressed even if they are behind a wall and such.

I'm positive that Shishio was referring to the Meiji government. Remember that by that time Saitou was working for the government and it was the government that burned him. He was generalizing.
And that does sound like a pretty reasonable theory. It makes sense since he is a ninja. Hmm. I'll consider adding your responce to the FAQ when I get back in a few weeks.
