I recently started watching the Rurouni Kenshin episodes again, because I remember having watched some of it when I was young and I just needed to see it. ^^
I really do love it a lot though. The beginning was very slow and stuff, but the show really got worth all of my trouble getting it when the Kyoto Arc came around. It definitely was a great Arc, with lots of suspense. I couldn't wait to watch the next one every time! XD I even started slacking schoolwork because of it!
The filler eps are often boring though, and I wouldn't have loved Rurouni Kenshin half as much if it wasn't for the Kyoto Arc. Kaoru and Kenshin's relationship is painfully slow sometimes. Yesterday I watched episode 66 about Kenshin's 'Wedding Proposal'. I was looking forward to it because I hoped to get some real mush out of it, but it was just awfully disappointing! X.x
Despite that, there are a lot of things that are great about it. ^^ The characters are probably the best as well as some of the fights and suspense in it (Again Kyoto Arc). I also enjoyed the songs and the music a lot, even though the same musical pieces kept returning (Again Kyoto Arc).
My favourite character are:
[list]
[*]Shinomori Aoshi, because as an ally of Kenshin, he's a strong and honorable man. Not to mention sexy!
[*]Anji the Fallen Monk, for making me cry about his life's story so much. Evil!
[*]Makamachi Misao, for being a strong and happy Itachi Musume!
[*]Seta Soujiro, for being slightly psycho (I do know the definition of a psycho and he isn't one, but I couldn't find the lighter version of the word!). It's adorable XD!
[*]Yumi, for just being a fun and beautiful young woman who can handle Shishio.
[*]Shura, for being a female pirate! Respect!

Favourite Pairings:
[list]
[*]Aoshi x Misao - I know there are much reasons why this pairing isn't plausible, but I find there are enough plausible reasons for them being a pairing as well. x3 Reading fanfiction about these two makes me feel like a fairy tale princess on the love drug. Pure kawaiiness.
[*]Saitou x Misao - Pure and utter love crack. I prefer the short but ever so passionate romance. XD
[*]Soujiro x Misao - They make the cute couple of this list. x3 This pairing would be pure and utter mush together.
[*]Yumi x Shishio - They truely did love each other in one way or the other. The kiss they shared was breathtaking!
[*]Kaoru x Kenshin - Soooo canon, that's why you just have to like it I guess. XD It's cute!
[*]Kenshin x Tomoe - Angsty but so gentle at the same time! ^^
