This one starts kind of blurry, but if you are familiar with the series and/or manga you will definitely understand it perfectly.
In the first part it covers the events that happened after Kaoru met Kenshin and it is all seen through Kaoru's eyes, which was an excellent idea because it let's you feel every last bit of pain happiness and sorrow that she has to endure.
In the second part the plot becomes clearer and you can see that this movie returns Kenshin Himura to the original Trust and Betrayal dark and and somewhat sad atmosphere which is perfect for the main character. the story just gets you going as it is very well written and again it makes you feel everything in a genuine way.
It is very interesting to see how the characters have evolved since the end of the series and you might even be in for a few surprises, big ones!
The end of the movie gives a sad but somehow a relieved end to the story and the wanderings of Kenshin and it makes think about it, I must say that it even made me cry, that's how much of an impact it may have.
So, this movie is one of the best to have ever came out of Japan and it may only be second to the first Samurai X movie. Watch and enjoy!
