Nineteenth century Japan: a land torn by rebellion and civil warfare; small bands of soldiers roam the land, seeking to overthrow the tyrannical Tokugawa Shogunate. Enter the young orphan Kenshin, trained as a fighter by the master swordsman Hiko. Kenshin's desire for peace is at odds with his brutal life, and the tension seems unreconcilable until he meets a mysterious woman named Tomoe. The enigmatic Tomoe's actions may show Kenshin that another life can exist for him, or may instead conceal a destructive secret. (official distributor synopsis)

Others have commented on the story here, but what really pleasantly surprised me were the "real" scenes (water, poo, fire). That was something new to me and I thought it just enhanced the atmosphere. It was nice. It can be watched on its own (without knowing the series), but I've already watched a couple of episodes, so I think I might have enjoyed it a bit more knowing what comes next. Although who knows...
