These 5 episodes served as a really good prologue that has me looking forward to the coming episodes. I didn't initially like Rurouni Kenshin, due to my own expectation, because I thought this show would have the same darker tone as Dororo, but it doesn't. But with the first season long over and this season beginning, I've really gotten into the story and characters, and I am now a fan of Himura Kenshin, the most chill and wise shonen protagonist of all time.
