  • Does no one know the name of this song?

  • and now for a general comment: back when TV was good...the only reason i really watched TV when i was younger was for this one program

  • My childhood. My childhood...

  • Man of Legends more Like Mans of Epics

  • Soujiro was the only reason I ever watched this anime~! (Oh why! Why wasn't he ever drawn shirtless?!)

  • Ah, I remember when I was a little girl, I loved this show! It was awesome and I had a huge crush on Kenshin=) He was kind,hot, and bad-ass to the core>=D Its still a freaking amazing show, and it does indeed need to come back to television!

  • Wow, this brings back memories. Back when Cartoon Network was great

  • Song name? Anyone? PLEASE!!!

  • Question: In the Sequence that just played , does any one know what episode it is where he is fighting those ninjas or ronin with the hats its like 4 of of them????

    they're 20 seconds into the clip

  • @kenobithemaster

    It's the opening song/clip of rurouni kenshin.

  • My stepmom wouldnt let me watch toonami. I fucking hated that bitch.

  • @MrTristanishere Can't say I blame you.

  • Interestingly enough I would love to see a duel with Kenshin and Guts from Berserk since both are known as legendary man slayers.

  • Toonami gave my, OUR, Generation philosophy; a different point of view; a birth of knowledge which consisted of honor, pride, love, and heartbreak. The series that Toonami relaid gave us all a reason to think more about the actions we take, and the endless potential possibilities that lay within us and our every action. Our minds were broaden, our dreams grew diverse in culture and emotion, and most of all, we could relate with Characters as well as each other. WE GREW AWARE OF US.

  • @mjmegaplay That was epic there. I wish people actually think like that in the gaming community now adays.

  • @blades34AK There are many people who share the same feelings, but we're shadowed by the fools and moron's who think of gaming as a war between systems as well as each other.

  • This was one of the last good shows that toonami played.

  • When they took my toonami off, I was mad

    Like Steve quier

  • I like the.... "classic" the cartoons used to look, now it's all HD this and that, and don't get me wrong it's awesome but there is something about the old classic and awesome shows that just makes you remember....

  • THE MEMORIESSS <3

  • Isn't it funny/ironic how Steve Blum, voicing Tom, is praising Kenshin when he voices Shishio in the show, his biggest enemy?

  • @MrSuperman216 Whoa really?

  • @MrSuperman216 I thought Sonny Strait voiced Tom....?

  • @Extraspectacular92 he voiced tom 1, tom 2, 3 and 4 was steven blum voice of Spike, Roger, Kazuma, and many others

  • @MInuhanyouM I know Blum's famous characters, but I saw an interview of Sonny Strait saying he got to play Tom from Toonami...so it was the early Toms?

  • @Extraspectacular92 as i said, it was tom 1.

    Tom 2 3 and 4 was blum. Before that, it was moltar. Great times.

  • *points to my username*

  • the whole media industry is sucking, the gaming industry, movies, television....i woulnd be suprised if there would be another crash...but then ´´some people´´ think twilight has a amazing story and JB is so manly....maby this is a sign that we will all die in 2012 =(

  • @reviewmaster007 The gaming industry's getting better lol.All it can do is get better,The new games will never replace the classics like Mario and Zelda.Ina another 40 years I'm sure there will be convincing virtual games and games so high res they almost look real

  • @wisewarriormuzic but do we want games to be like real? i dont =p

  • but then again im a nintendo fan boy

  • @reviewmaster007 The gaming community is falling apart as well. Instead of getting excited about a newgame coming out, its just hate, comparisons, and nonsense. I remember back then we weren't like this, never like this we usually go to a game store, pick up a game we find interesting and play enjoy. Granted I know everybody is ticked of mainstream gaming, its just that doesn't mean we should be like this. What happened to common sense. What happened to the meaning of fun. I feel like the last 1

  • You won't see a writer with enough balls nowadays that'll make a show about opium or manslaying

    Executives:Important lessons about moral accountability and political dispute? SCOFF! Put in a banana peel,fart jokes,take out the lessons....basically funnel out most of the brains and we'll give you a multimillion dollar contract

    Writer:Welll....

    Executives:The new kid Justin Beiber will give you a bjjjjj

    Writer:OK!!!!

    *Thus Toonami was dead and a new dark age of ignorance fell upon the youth*

  • FU CARTOON NETWORK! I WANT MY ANIME BACK

  • @monkeygirl333sm Well, adult swim still shows anime, but only on saturdays at 12:00 (unless you count the boondocks as an anime, which i guess it kind of is) the only good anime in my opinion they show aymore is Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist (which is nearly over) and Ghost in the shell.

  • @Br4nd0nPlaysWoW Yeah, I only like Fma though. Bleach ran off a cliff and a died a while ago. They don't show enough anime lol. And only on Saturdays so it's not on often either. (and I'm hoping they re run Fma

  • @monkeygirl333sm fma just finished:( brotherhood that is

  • @MrGladBEASTftw I know *sob* I'm so sad! They are re runing it though. happy Fma day!

  • @monkeygirl333sm i really wish they had a seperate channel for like rurouni kenshin,yuyu hakusho,dbz,fma and all the other things that toonami haad:(

  • @MrGladBEASTftw they do in the Philippines XD it's called animax I believe. And they had the same thing in Japan (one reason I didn't die while visiting family over the summer) They should have the same thing here!

  • haha 0:25 kenshin slayed that man, he said "Dont come at me with that weak shit! "

  • the original badass, we miss you!!

  • shishio will have his revenge on those who killed toonami!!

  • WHY THE FUCK DID TOONAMI END ITS LIKE FRIGIN MY WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY DIED LIKE WAT THE FUUUCK THUMBS UP IF U FEEL MY ANGER

  • Within every fiber of your being you are truly a man slayer. Love it so awesome

  • DIE!!!!!! BATTOSIA!!!!!!!

  • WHAT SONG IS THIS?!?!?!?!

  • I heard that there is a chance that toonami might come back :)

  • @TrackStar542 it still wont be the same

    its hard to bring back something good if you've already threw it away

  • @TheDeLaKore That is true though

  • this isn't a promo this is the Toonami opening for Rurouni Kenshin

  • That first line kenshin say is epic.

  • If there is ever a match up between Rurouni Kenshin vs. Afro Samurai, the hospitals would have to prepare for ALOT of patients suffering from seizures caused by the epicness

  • There aren't many dubs I liked...but the ones I did always seemed to be on Toonami (at least for sometime) M.A.R ftw

  • best line in the show was "i wasnt finished speaking"

  • "If you wish to taste the ground, feel free to attack me." Badassness

  • @2andFoh Damn straight bro. *brofist*

  • @Therealjoe2010 *brofist* back

  • @2andFoh indeed, that line is pure beastly epicness, but you have to consider...it was said on Toonami....which automatically multiplies its epicness ;3

  • @gagejoseph91 I do agree with you on that

  • thats some sick beat

    

  • 4 people watch jonny test now

  • :') made my childhood!

  • Back then anime is good

  • that scene that starts at 0:23 is too fucking badass

  • Didn't Shishio and TOM from Toonami have the same voice?

  • Toonami was so cool it makes my head hurt to think about it.

  • what is the song? please please please?

  • Thumbs up if you said Oro?! After watching this!

  • remember the days when doing homework on a friday was normal?

    remember the days when Saturday was the original best day of the week?

    remember the days when you had a reason to look forward for the week to end?

    i hope my future children can say the same...

  • @dolphinguy2014 that is exactly how me and my little bro feel

  • "If you want to taste the ground feel free to attack me." Best line ever.

  • so that is what the name of this show is called I always liked it

  • @strapedupshaty Kenshin

  • This show was awesome. Too bad they axed Toonami...

  • wow, it blows my mind that something this awesome was on cartoon network. the amount of awesomeness in this 30 second promo > anything that has been on cartoon network in the last few years combined.

  • @bears111b1111 were you not around then? cause back in my day it was a reality of epic proportions :P

  • @MInuhanyouM yeah I grew up with this stuff! (i'm 19 now) I was just saying that cartoon network is horrible now and most kids today would never expect something this awesome to be on CN (let alone TV). I wish they would bring back yu yu hakusho, DBZ, Kenshin and all the great toonami shows.

  • @bears111b1111 bah, i gave up on CN being anything, and instead downloaded all of my classic anime's so i could watch them whenever i want. Plus i have a few dozen recordings of toonami on VHS, but its definitely not the same :(

  • Toonami was the SH*T back in the day !!!

    god i miss my childhood =( !!

  • Within Every Fiber of Your Being you are Truly A Manslayer

  • i was kind of hoping the show would start after the ending of this as i'm so used to seeing..oh well -.-

  • not even The Legendary Battosai The Man Slayer survived the destruction from the corny ass shows such as Adventure Time & Chowder...RIP Toonami & the best shows we grew up watching in the 90s til 07

  • @xoDarkSideox Actually Kenshin was gone way before Toonami died. It went out of it's target audience. It went on a Hiatus, then came back, then cancelled for the reason I just gave

  • @SoundCinemas yah i know that i saw every episode of that show on toonami but it doesnt matter now cuz our childhood shows is now memories just like our happy childhood...long live....old skool cartoon network & Toonami

  • Can anyone tell me what the name of this song is? I can't find it anywhere.

  • Toonami made some of the best amvs I have ever seen

  • dear god, plz being toonami back, love the entire world

  • Youtubesex

  • what is the beat in the background danm it! Want it so bad!

  • cant stop watching it

  • Our prayers have been answered Rurouni Kenshin will have a new anime!!!'nnnn

  • @Bliksemdamian thats cool is the netherlands dub any good?

  • Kenshin is coming back as a new anime. no lie go google it

  • @Bliksemdamian so tommmorow?

  • @Bliksemdamian can i come? lol

  • @Bliksemdamian LUCKY

    

  • @Bliksemdamian for a horrible cartoon network.....damn i was prepared

  • Too bad Toonami isn't around to celebrate the new Kenshin anime with us. It just won't be the same, although it will still be glorious.

  • so serious, deadly back in 1990s since americans of 90s circa didn't provide the english dub versions to rurouni kenshin, which is available on VHS or TV from the past like nobody's rolling, people in the 90s are so naive sometimes

  • within every fiber of your being you are truely a man slayer

  • A tear just came from my eyes :/ I miss you kenshin and I miss toonami!

  • I remembering this show when I was in the 7th grade that is when I heard anime have cus words that I never saw on anime before and this anime wasn't for the younger kids.

  • I wish i could stream 90's and early 2000 tv into my room

  • To everyone thats a fan of toonami THIS IS IMPORTANT, on the cn website there has been a croud of people asking to bring toonami back and you can help, on cn website. go to contact us , then go to programing , then click on choose topic and toonami is in that list. if we all tell cn to bring it back the'll have to listin. dont give up, we can bring toonami back.

  • @MrJAV90 wait where then dude? *misses it badly*

  • Kenshin was SO badass when he needed to be.

    Oh, and am I the only one who LOVED the "Absolution"?  :)

  • i miss kenshin it is awsomenss itshif

  • Ah Rurouni Kenshin you don't get animes like this any more... Hell all they are now is revenge of the emos.

  • battousai!

  • god how many times have i watched this promo

  • toonami seriously molded my inner self

  • Holy crap i remember this when it was live... memories.

  • Kenshin <333 damn that show was badass. ^_^

  • man this show and outlaw star that use to come on at night on cartoon network is what got me into anime!

  • FFFFFFFF

    Makes me so mad that there isn't even a single channel that can stomach showing the great stuff like this anymore; I mean seriously...Isn't that just a huge gap in the market for somebody to cash in on?

    And I haven't even mentioned how epic Rurouni Kenshin was yet!

    P.S

    Does anybody happen to know the music they used for this?

    P.S.S

    Is there even a single cartoon running at the moment even close to this level of badass?

  • 0:09 dodge

  • Man I miss this show...oh well, I guess I can find it by searching the internet.

  • @SoranotRoxas buy it on ebay

  • @HaohmaruOfTheWind Don't worry, I have other ways of seeing it [Laughs evilly]......yeah I'll probably just get it from e-bay.

  • I loved this show so much when I was a little girl. But i guess I never realized how annoying Kaoru's voice was... is that Wendee lee?

  • Epic show.

  • great anime thats all i have to say

  • DAMN that beat goes hard, Rurouni Kenshin too.

  • DIE BATTOUSAI!

  • i miss toonami and sprit remix

  • whats that song?

  • unny story about how I actually first saw this. I never heard of its premire back when it first aired. The day before I saw it I set a timer for Yu Yu Hakushow. Little did I know, the timer also recorded the full first episode premire of Ruroni Kenshin as well. The day after I made the timer, I was at grade school and we were doing some classwork stuff and I was realy sick with bad asthma and a cough and cold. I was sent home early sat back watched my timer and was watching this show. GOOD TIME

  • I miss this show. My older cousin used to run around with a ruler saying,"I AM BATTOSAI THE MAN SLAYER" when we were younger. He denies it now.

  • @flareblaziken LMFAO.

  • @flareblaziken

    Rofl. Shame. In today's age, we could've recorded it :/

  • U know wats funny i was like 8 or 9 wen i watched this show loved every bit of it and i even understood it most the time

  • @MattTrebomb yea me too

  • "If you want to taste the ground, feel free to attack me."

    That is the polite version of being a badass when making threats. I miss Rurouni Kenshin... And Toonami... And my fucking childhood. God damn nostalgia.

  • Damn WHAT is that beat in the beginning?? Sooo good ^.^

  • Naruto and Ben 10 are so worst than DBZ, Sailor Moon, YuYuHakusho and others, why they stopped the wonderful shows? Why the new kids say "Ben 10" and not Goku, why we stopped to fight with camehamehas!!!

  • @shiresk Kahamehameha* buddy but at least you got spirit something these kids these days seem to be plenty a lackin' eh mate ;)

  • @Kazekage5th true true... typo sucks. Thanks =D

  • rurouni kenshin.and Inuyasha were the best

    fuck naruto

  • this, yo yo hakashow, outlaw star, gundam, DBZ, inuyasha made my childhood!

  • Rurouni kenshin the show that introduced me to a reverse blade sword that was unheard of

  • You won't see a writer with enough balls nowadays that'll make a show about opium or manslaying.

    Executives:Important lessons about moral accountability and political dispute?! SCOFF! Put in a bannana peel, fart jokes,take out the lessons.......basically funnel out most of the brains and we'll give you a multimillion dollar contract

    Writer:Well.........

    Executives:The new kid Justin Beiber will give you a bjjjjjj

    Writer:OK!!!!

    *Thus Toonami was dead the next day and Adventure time was made*

  • @wisewarrior7 OH GOD YOU WIN WITH THIS COMMENT!

  • @wisewarrior7 lol not nowdays but when/if i make movies you will see the way of toonami come out in my movies id make a movie just about kenshin so makin movies about opium and manslaying would be easy also im not the kind of asshole who would change everything about the game/comic/anime i take my lessons from zach snyder use comics as a template for makeing the movie, get all your actors to read the comic and talk sense into producers "o i think you should change this or that" "no" says me

  • @billybobboberson WOW WHat a bitch, i bet you get reamed all day...... I bet you like it when 7 big black guys cum on your face! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • @wisewarrior7 Actually adventure time is a very funny show that includes smart and adult humor.

  • @wisewarrior7 As much as I hate Justin beaver and ect. those were not the reason. when you get a group of parents that call the offices and says that they're network is too "loud" and not enough people watch the show, well this happens....all I can tell you is live it up kid because one day those fun times will be gone. and before you know will be stuck in the redundant and tedious hell known as adulthood.

  • ikr man

  • I MISS TOONAMI! T.T

  • OMG till this day "DIE BATOSAI" had stick with me that line was cool!!

  • This kinda stuff was what made CN awesome back then, now its crap D:

  • RK introduced politics and life philosophies to us.

    I don't see Flap Jack or 6 Teen giving kids a new perspective OR take on the world. ANIME needs to be brought back, and more INTERNATIONAL programming needs to be introduced to U.S. kids

  • @noir21072 AMEN!!! You took the words right outa my mouth!!!!

  • Look at how mature this anime is, and it's on toonami when kids watch it.

  • I wish they would have shown Samurai X on Adult Swim

  • back when cartoon network actually gave a shit about anime. sigh,I miss the good ole days.

  • rip toonami.

  • oh shit i miss toonami

  • Truly kids wouldn't understand Kenshin, especially when their like 7 or 8 or less

  • @muse7690 I knw, but when u look back on it, its like new all over again. i just liked the fact kenshin was a champion for the weak

  • "within every vital of your being you are truly a man slayer"...that shit is poetic

  • @shamdani lol it really is. its deep and meaningful

  • this is my favorite show of all times

  • omfg!!!! toonami!!!!! i forgot about that

  • I think Kenshin is a little too mature for kids? more like 13yr old and so show

  • @muse7690 Samurai X is too mature. Rurouni Kenshin was fine.

  • @DemonSamaJr Yeah, your right, i didnt even understand Kenshin when i was like 7 or something, it was just a part of my childhood

  • @muse7690 Ha same here brooo i remember comin home and watching the whole lineup !

  • omg i was right, kenshin was on cartoonetwork! and my brothers and sisters dont remember! proof!

  • If you wonna taste the ground feel free to attack me

  • You don't see promos like this anymore. :(

  • toonami had so many good shows
