In the type of environment I was raised, anime was almost considered a taboo and thus no one ever has heard of it. I do like anime, but I'm very limited. Dragonball doesn't really do it for me, neither does Naruto (sorry, I'm tired of hearing "I'm a ninja!" all the time).
The only real anime that I loved and still often try to watch today is Rurouni Kenshin. The classic japanese tale of a once-assassin turned good. Most recognizable by his reverse-blade sword and the X scar on his left cheek.
I just was wondering if anyone else has heard of this anime series and remembers it before it ended in 1998.
