Samurai X - Complete [DVD]

Amazon's quality rating system seems to be pretty accurate. Box shown some wear but, the dad's were fine.

All fans of "Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X" will surely love this complete box OVA/OAV set. It is very suspenseful and holds your attention till the ending of this tragic-yet-happy tale.When buying this box set, you are getting your money's worth. Usually, this box set runs anywhere from 90-100 USD in some stores, but on Amazon, it practically cuts it in half.This product does not appear to be a bootleg and is very accurate on the subtitles.There is also another OVA/OAV box set that has a black box and is a little more expensive. Personally, I favor this one. In the other box set, you do not get the following:Reflection: Director's CutTrust & Betrayal: Director's Cut(Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X) The Motion Picture*ReflectionTrust & Betrayal*The Motion Picture is sometimes listed as Japanese only when searching for the "Language" on some sites, such as this, but with this DVD box set, it DOES come in English and also in Japanese, with English subtitles.(All DVDs = English/Japanese with English subtitles)That is what you get in this box set, besides the wonderful box art and the beautiful DVD cover art.[Risk]The risk of purchasing this box set, or any box set for that matter, is damage to the box itself, not necessarily the DVDs, but hey, sometimes it happens.Note: On the side of the box, you may see a small logo that says: Rurouni Kenshin or Samurai X. They are both the same.Little kids should not be watching this. The suggested rating in my eyes would be at least an audience that is mature enough to handle the dialog and the little suggestive themes that are featured. Roughly: 16+Also: The title is a little misleading, considering it only says 'Samurai X - Complete', but this is NOT the Anime, it is the OVA/OAV collection.

I have always been a fan of the original Rurouni Kenshin series and this complete collection of the OVA is but the topping for an amazing series. The artwork is incredible. The use of CG was correctly used and didn't take away from the experience. The sound was also great as well as the video quality in general. I have two very minor problems with this OVA though despite the fact that i believe it to be near flawless would be 1. The menus are rather dull. Virtually no extras are offered being that this is somewhat of a collectors edition and 2. The American voice acting like most anime is horrible. I would highly recommend while thinking of buying this fine product that you first of all don't rely heavily on the menus, it is the anime you are buying it for and second, put the audio in Japanese; the voices sound better and you get more of the story because they edited some elements out during their translation process. Other than this I would say that this collection is perfect for any anime collector. You will not be disappointed.

So I went to these guys and competition with the same simple question- "do you have pictures? It's used and I'm picky." These guys replied instantly and was more than happy to go out of their way to take the pictures!!The competition sent me a message back saying "we don't pull items off the shelf unless they're being sold."So I bet you can guess who I went with. ;] my box set came in great condition, I binged all the DVD, cries, had beautiful nostalgic feelings, and over all a great experience. Thank you guys so much <3

Trust and Betrayal ...is a Masterpiece but I am not rating just that story. I am rating this Box Set. Reflection,yawn, another disc in the set, drags on and on and I fell asleep. Another disc.."The Movie" was a complete waste and seems geared towards an audience that is about 7 to 12 years old. There are a total of 5 discs in this set. Trust and Betrayal....Reflection ...and The Movie. "Trust and Betrayal" also "Reflection" give you the "Directors Cut" version as well. All in all 3 discs plus two "Directors Cut" for a total of 5 discs. As for myself this set is not worth the money. If you can buy "Trust & Betrayal" by itself then you have the best that this set has to offer. To tell you about "Trust & Betrayal"...there are no demons..no witches or Dragons or any bizarre animals. It is one the best stories that I have had the pleasure of watching. There are broken hearts and lessons learned the honorable and untrustowrthy with great action in between. After all it takes place in fuedal Japan so there is plenty of blood that sprays out of them like a busted fuel line under pressure....grin. I would highly recommend this one disc.

After hearing so many people talk about Samurai X I decided to purchase the Complete set.First let me say that the first disc "Trust & Betrayal" is amazing. After watching the first disc, I was completely blow away and could not wait to put in the second disc. Well, when I did put in the second disc I was so let down. The second disc has different artists and it is apparent within the first few scenes. I didn't expect them to keep up the romance angle that was started and ended in the first disc, but overall this disc and the rest of the set could not compete (except for the Director's Cut of Trust & Betrayal).I loved loved loved the first disc, just save some money and try to get the first disc because it sets the bar so high that you will be completely disappointed with the rest of the set.

Ich habe schon sehr lange ein Auge auf diesen Artikel gehabt und haben mich als ich das Geld dafür über hatte dann zum Kaufentscheiden da ich ein Großer Fan der Serie binDer Preis sollte sich für diese DVD Box nicht über 50€ bewegen weil es sich hier nur um das OvA Video Material HandeltDie Geschichte ist trotz dessen das sie aus einer Gesamt Geschichte raus entstanden ist in sich SchlüssigEs gibt ein Nachteil die Neuauflage aus dem Jahr 2012 ist leider nicht enthalten.

...that even comes with the crappy movie.When I say the best I mean the prequel and sequel OVAs (especially the prequel). They're gorgeous, mature, moving, action packed and highly entertaining, with wellcrafted and believable stories, which are beautifully told.So not only is the content great, but the box itself is really cool and beatiful. Not to mention it's low price.

This box set comes with the 3 OAVs "Trust and Betrayal", "Samurai X: The Movie" and "Reflections" plus the director's cut for "Trust and Betrayal" and "Reflections". The quality of the artwork, animation and music is better than excellent. The story is dark and tragic with deep philosophical themes of war, idealism, politics, loyalty, and romance. A lot of action and bloodshed.This box set should preferably be watched after watching seasons 1 and 2 of Rorouni Kenshin the TV Series. "Trust and Betrayal" tells the story when Kenshin is the top assassin of the Meiji Imperialist fighting to topple the Togugawa shogunate in Japan. "Trust and Betrayal" is a prequel to the TV series which shows Kenshin's life after the revolution and how he fought to protect the peace during the early years of the Meiji government. "Reflections" is highly philosophical, it shows Kenshin and his wife many years after the end of the TV series. "Reflections" is a sequel to the TV series, it shows the final days of Kenshin's life, how he obeyed imperial army orders to fight in the first Sino-Japanese war even when he was terminally ill.Rorouni Kenshin is just a story but the events in the TV series and OAVs are historically accurate. It is best viewed in Japanese dialogue with English subtitles.This is a great story about war and romance. A tragedy. This is a must have for any Kenshin or anime fan. I'm happy to have added this title to my collection.Now for the not so good comment. I was disappointed with the packaging design. I had expected the normal DVD sleeves with insert/brochur for each disk instead of thin sleeves and no detail inserts or scene selection features.

Amazing box. got the collection of the OVA's, and the director s cut movie, it has some good extras, that will help you understand how powerfull the story is for those who helped to make it come true.The only negative thing, is that, this could very well be a Blu ray collection, isntead of regular DVD

e com muita pena que nao tenha legendas em portugues mas no entanto esta numa das melhores anime de historia
