Rurouni Kenshin premiered on Cartoon Network on March 17, 2003. The series is set in the 1870s during the turbulent aftermath of Japan's opening to the West. Its samurai hero is hardly pleased about the changes in Japanese society as he tries to maintain its feudal and martial arts traditions. ith its well-done action sequences and a plot that resembles, in some ways, that of Blade Of The Immortal (tough samurai hero reluctantly helps a girl avenge the death of her father at the hands of treacherous agent from a different "school" of sword fighting), Rurouni Kenshin has become a major anime success in the U.S. without the benefit of TV exposure.
