I know I can't judge too much because I haven't seen the whole movie but from the bits I have seen I found I just couldn't watch it. It killed me to see my favorite anime character getting sick and slowly dying. I prefer the happy-go-lucky manga ending. I just can't bring myself to watch him die, it would be too depressing. Plus, this is not material written by the wonderful creator himself. This particular OVA just seems fake. Does anyone else feel the same way about this OVA?

I sort of feel the way you do. I hated the way he died. It was really sad and I hated that he forgot for a while who everyone that he cared about before even was.

I can't stand Seisouhen. Who did Sony Studios think they were, tacking on an extra ending to Watsuki's story that goes against everything RK stands for in the first place?

Just about every Rurouni Kenshin fan hates that OVA for the reasons you already mentioned. It's such a sad ending crying .... and Kenshin wouldn't leave his family like that....

I liked reflections for it's superior animation quality and thefact that I own the directors cut. I respected it for it's starus as an alternative ending, but I do not deem it as the proper end to rurouni kenshin.

I thought Reflections was alrite.Alittle too strong for me on the whole depressing stuff.I can undrestand they wanted to make it as realistic as possible ((thus some characters are based on real ppl & this was a real time period)) but I just think they overexaggerated it too much.
I just wanna know about Kenji's future ((or see it >.>))

Woo...Im about to crush the dreams of some kenji fans...
First: Reflections may amount to the pinicle of uber sad omg hes slowly and painfully dying....but it goes exactly with the story. Not to mention that he continus to do good even though he really should be relaxing. And the fact that kaoru decides to take the disease too is just one of the many sacrifices shes made for him.
Second: the reason I slightly dislike it is because of all the inconsistencies between the movie and the book, like the enishi fight.
And last but not least, as far as Ive heard, Nobuhiro is not plannin (At the moment) to make any continuation of kenji's story...even though they hint at it in the end of reflections. I heard somethin about a yahiko story but who knows 3nodding

This means staying put in Tokyo with his family and doing good locally, not leaving his wife and child in misery while he travels the country to "suffer as the people do". In the Jinchuu Arc, Kenshin spoke of taking a new step when he fought Enishi on the island. This was meant to show that he would never be a wanderer again, but would stay put and do his bit for his own neighborhood.

This true, but because he gained the final secret of his sword style, he soon lost the ability to protect people, especially since he gave his sakabato to Yahiko. He also cant stand to see people suffer...so he couldnt just stand by and let those people suffer. Also, Kaoru wasnt suffering and Kenji was just ignorant. Kaoru wanted Kenshin to go, because it made him happy, and Kenji didnt understand what his Father had to carry all these years. And he didnt wander off in the sense of the series where he would just leave never to be seen again. He always came back, even if his body was as torn as it was.

Kenshin only loses the ability to wield Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, not the ability to wield a sword altogether. After he gives up the Sakabatou, he gets another sword and continues as a swordsman in a slightly reduced capacity.

Um....I don't think Kaoru looked too darn excited every time he left the house. That is why Kenji comes to hate his father, because Kenshin always leaves Kaoru alone in agony. That just DOES NOT seem plausable at all. When looking at the manga the last thing Kenshin would ever want to do is hurt Kaoru or cause is family any pain. This movie totally screws it up.

Because he didn't have any say in the matter! The moment Watsuki signed the dotted line to get Rurouni Kenshin animated, he signed over complete creative rights to Sony Studios to animate it as they wished. Technically, Sony could make another OVA where dead Kenshin and Kaoru rise from the grave and torment the living and there would be jack s**t Watsuki could do about it. Watsuki has said numerous times in interviews that he disagrees with the OVA and that it doesn't match his ending for RuroKen. In Watsuki's vision, Kenshin grows old with Kaoru by his side and they see their grandchildren.

I really hate this OVA, mainly because there are so many inconsistencies between it and the manga.
