Kenshin & Kaoru walk in the posterized video of the ocean and it looks weird. More scene setters, this time of a beach. The other characters briefly interact in their scenes.

Yahiko hangs with his little “girlfriend” (because no one in this show is allowed to acknowledge an actual relationship) and helps out around the Akabeko while Sanosuke is hanging out with the doctor, and we get a big smack over the head that perhaps they like each other too. On that note, and without further ado, a scene by scene recap of episode 95: But, like other anime series that have been awesome up until the final episode (you know who you are *cough* Eva *cough*), it felt like the animators finished episode 94 and then did a recount, realized they were one episode short, and then dropped 30 hits of acid. It’s a really really good show and I think anyone (except people like my mom who would never watch an animated show because she can’t believe there would be anything for adults in an animated form) would enjoy it. The story is interesting, and the animation is good. And Kenshin is very likable (and badass). I have to admit that I connect with Kaoru every time the other characters tease her and she rises to the bait (and then punches someone). It is the ONLY show I have ever considered planning something around. I used to rush home from the worst job ever (well, really second worst, and really only that I have had, not ever on the face of the planet), and watch it on the cartoon network. I LOVE Rurouni Kenshin! It is one of my favorite series. But in that assumption, you would be wrong. Now, I know that from this brief summary you may get the impression that perhaps I didn’t love this series. So jump to the part with all caps to get to the full synopsis.

A synopsis of the whole series (in case you haven’t seen it and don’t care if you know what happens) will follow, but I didn’t want to say “no spoiler” so long as you can skim past all of this total spoiler material. OK, are they gone? Great! So, here’s a synopsis of episode 95. If you’re a real purist and don’t want to know what happens at all, just move along and come back after you’ve seen the show… Now, some of you may fear that this might be a big spoiler.

There were 100 or so minutes of filler for filler’s sake (dude, we need 3 more minutes which montage of semi–relevant scenes should we insert?) and 20 of those minutes were in episode 95. How awesome! It took under a month to watch all 2000+ minutes, and I’d say about 1900 of them were great. As many of you may have read on my twitter feed, back around my birthday I found all 95 episodes of Rurouni Kenshin at McKay’s (our local used books and stuff store) for $30.
