Seems to follow three different extremes, 22 June 2003
Author: TheEtherWalk from Mississauga

The stories of Kenshin are extremely varied. The OAVs are massively violent and deal mostly with the serious side of Kenshin. Next, when you come to the first few episodes of the tv series, there is the 'ORO' extreme, or the funny side of Kenshin. but then, later in the series, it gets completely serious again. I haven't seen all the episodes, but i like the funny chibi-Kenshin better.

Anyways this is a great show, but it looks like they switched styles halfway through. They need to bring the ORO back!
