Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) - Opening 1 [Freckles] English

[UrbanTerrorPro]

nostalging so hard right now...

[RemoteRPGs]

This song is an antideppresant.

[MegaCnlSanders]

@RemoteRPGs eh kinda both

[CrystalRaye]

Even though I haven't heard the English version of this in AGES I can still sing right along

[ThePr0gram]

MEMORIES

[wpeake99]

I loved this show wen I was a child it was my favorite it was when cartoon network was good

[TruCourage]

I'm not gonna lie, I loved this show but I always thought this opening was grossly inappropriate. I mean go from this to intense battle with shishiro immediately

afterward. NO.

[DarkGreenKirby]

Listen to the Japanese version and then listen to this one again....I don't even understand how...

[Theocaravideos]

CN In 1998 is the best :D

[marastar02]

goes from awesome to wtf lol

[lokeaomiojaja]

i really like this song s fandub sonds cool tyyy

[xam10000hehe]

Am I the only one who think this? When I (or you) FIRST STARTED watching Rurouni Kenshin and you know very little about the show except its (Samurai related) and then you listened to the intro and think....wow I wasn't expecting this type of music O_o LMAO

[ronin6401]

Personally, I rather agreed more with Shishio's philosophy than kenshin's.

[ImNedBigby]

i have this on my iPod X3

[CryScarletTears]

0:56-1:12 everyones favorite part

[058875915]

SOOOOOOOO.....FUCKING....MISLE­ADING

[ramaunsmith]

I was so pissed off at how the series ended that i wished i never watched it....but hey.. its still 1 of the best.

[poopydood1]

ahhh the memories from this show.... priceless

[Draguinclan]

omg i rember this show....i loved it so much brought tears to my eyes...the end of the series was sorta, floppy..,.?

[loner1878]

@Draguinclan

Stick to the manga for the ending. The anime never got to the real ending b/c of the stupid last filler arcs.

[Smartboy7]

240p, we meet again..

[XLRO8]

i remember this

[KeyOfReason001]

*tears TT . TT

[TopJulianator]

DUDE I MISS THIS SHIT I WISH WE HAD THIS BACK.....

[KeyOfReason001]

@TopJulianator Me too.

[PusoPimp]

@TopJulianator Well, they re-released the OVA trilogy recently in the states, are making a live action and another animated movie, and I read something about Nobuhiro Watsuki planning to briefly continue the manga. Sooooo.......ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!!!!!

[kiragami218]

@RensaFenrir What about Kuwabara from Yu-Yu Hakusho?

[BLACKCATSTUNER]

I need a time machine just so I can record all the shows I love and now miss from my childhood

[toretsblaby]

Lol I love this song and anime

[Kurotsukinami]

I love this opening. The attempt was to translate a Japanese Song into English and perform it. That really isn't so easy because translation also means you have to translate the emotion and the perception in its kind of delivery. I like Sandy Fox's vocals regardless her age....of course I remember her from the English Rayearth.

There are professional singers in their 80s who still have a good voice. Its all about maintaining your voice and practicing. We truly live in privileged times ^_^.

[The1EpicNinja]

W T F ??????????

[cacap00p00peepee]

I like the part when Kenshin is fighting those guys at the end, it's like you're listening to this upbeat song while the Manslayer is doing his thing lol

[DeathcakesXZ]

This Show was just fucking raw despite its cheerful Opening

[superxxx60]

omg ive been looking for this anime i loved this anime so much

[m3tr0idgrl]

this woman singing..... definately does not fit with the epicness of this show

[aleon3000]

It's so weird how "Samurai X" spinned off into this...!!!!! i dont remember this song but i remember the series.

[DashinglikeARainbow]

@aleon3000 Samurai X... we don't talk about Samurai X.

[curthaynes]

to anyone who saw the movie, that was some closure, wasn't it lol?

[Dane0100]

lol when he took his hair down you were about to get fucked up lol

[deathgoddragon3698]

Thank god this is just the opening. The TV dub for Samurai X was GOD AWFUL! All the characters sound like they're doped up on helium! WTF!?

[noble1phantomhive]

i love it

[Shiwi24]

omg this kinda fails xD

[Hagisher]

NOSTALGIA yayz

[InjectMorphineIntoMe]

LOL this song, ahahhaha, the first bit makes it seem like it will sound all hard core!

[YumBannanaYum]

why does he look suprised at 1:14

[ShariganHitoKiri]

For those that don't know...this is the exact translation in the exact same way for the japanese opening for this series so no complaining about american dubbing for this

[nanner6110]

@Czweezy93 dude I felt the same way, I would rock out in my bedroom thinkin' I was epic n shit and then I'd hear this high pitched shit and be all "..wtf... "

[Starsilos]

This song is so annoying, but i love it so much

[IITheMilkyWayII]

I loved this opening. :]

[DantheManO36O]

i just realized that the songs in english

[SonicTheRainboom]

....I miss this..

[wiibot15]

omfg xDDD

[Kenshinlps]

and this is where my youtube name came from

[DivingEag1e]

For some reason, the only part of this song I remember from when I was about eight, is when he's on the boat and she says: "...sugar cube."

[gamehot0]

The was a good show yes it was ^_^

Bleach,Samurai deeper Kyo, Afro Samurai

They were all based off Kenshin the most bad ass samurai ever!

[NintyFan56]

If it wasn't for toonami, i would be feeling old by now; but no, I still feel like was when I was younger because of the memories they left me with..

[admiralgumdrops]

this was my shit bck in the day!

[TheDispleasedCow]

Gawd, I use to fawking LOVE Kenshin. I can't believe I forgot about this show. D:

[samlordofq]

closest english translation ever

[MastaKadaj]

Sometimes I recall that, "Oh, ohohoh, ohohohhhh" in my mind and it reminds me of my childhood. ;.;

[xKaRMaLx]

Iv just been watching all the old openings of my old favs so I'm on a major nostalgia high and I must say, I really feel bad for the youth today they don't know what they are missing. :') I will forever remember the good old days of sprinting home from the bus after school and watching Toonami from start to finish. <3 "Tubby" Tom.

[RensaFenrir]

Kenshin - The only ginger that deserves a soul

[GuitarrAssassin]

@RensaFenrir

he wasn't a ginger. he was a red head. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE!!!

[BlackWall500]

@RensaFenrir lol his a DayWalker! XD

[freewebber]

@RensaFenrir He doesn't deserve a soul. He'll just fuck you up if you deny it from him.

[TyKun04]

@RensaFenrir ...Shut the fuck up... :l

[boshidu11]

@RensaFenrir  that's because he's not a ginger idoit

[TheHiredBlade]

I love this girl's voice

[Czweezy93]

At first you hear the guitar, you're like "fuck yeah"

and then you hear the music change and you hear singing, "what the fuck!?"

[Willardsmusic]

@Czweezy93 If by "what the fuck", you really mean "This is really catchy!!"

[finalbomber]

@Willardsmusic lol its been a long time since i laughed out loud from hearing a response to someones comment

[hk3344]

@Czweezy93 my thoughts exactly 

[ChicagoMadePunk09]

@Czweezy93 It's been a while since I laughed out loud at a comment on the internet.

[xXKirbyPwnage223]

@Czweezy93 Kind of the opposite of Kenshin. You see him being silly around town and think, "They named the show/manga after this guy?" Then you see him fight and you're like, "Holy shit this guy is awesome."

[TheLordmep]

@xXKirbyPwnage223 That sounds almost identacle to Trigun. Kenshin and Vash would probably be the best of friends.

[TheKunai777]

@Czweezy93 Kinda, but it sound great 2 me.

[Animefan1528]

@Czweezy93

Hey, this song is amazing the way it is! Love Rurouni Kenshin and this song!

[soul71000]

@Czweezy93 i feel ya XD!!!!

[lodziana666]

@Czweezy93

True, but her voice makes up for the shock ^_^

Can't believe Sandy Fox is in her 40's-50's. She sounds just like a teenager for Christ's sake...

[ProjectDarkRose]

@Czweezy93 The music shows how his past was filled with blood shed and now he's trying to move on towards the future :D

[hk3344]

@ProjectDarkRose so very true

[hk3344]

@Czweezy93 yes exactly

[AQHaruhichan]

I'd watch this on Toonami with my older bro when I was just a tiny tot...

How is it I'm only 15 but childhood feels like it's gone with out a trace?

The GOOD parts of childhood, anyway.

[TehNewSoars]

@AQHaruhichan This might be unwanted advice. however, 15 is right about the age I started realistically judging right and wrong. on a deep level. Im an older brother to my sister also. I wouldnt blame you if you dont believe me(she didnt lol), but you havent lost anything yet. Everything starts now. I would give ANYTHING to go back to when i was 15. I think everyone wants that, which is why they try their best to guide you, its they closest we can get(envy). Your life has just begun, believe me.

[P5ych0Alchemist62]

Toonami when will you rise from the ashes?!?!??!

:(

[Reiku03]

this intro starts off cool, then that damn chick starts singing, I feel cheated everytime like WTF!?

[kyrenduh1]

wat hapend to the united states and cartoon network

[leoguapogi]

this was actually my favorite anime.. idk if they still show it :/

[les009]

Hey i heard season 4 is going be air on 2012 or 2013! :D

[reviewmaster007]

@les009 you hear it wrong cause the show ended 15 years ago or so

[les009]

@reviewmaster007 i know it ended but that what it says on wikipedia! go to to wikipedia and type rurouni kenshin epsiode list and it said season 4 going be on 2011

[malatin3]

@les009 There was word of a remake a couple months ago. Maybe that's what it's for.

[ImSoSja]

wth.. first rough music and then a girly song?!

[piggykiller77]

@ImSoSja is there any other way to start this show??

[ImSoSja]

@piggykiller77 Just how it starts, with the guitar and stuff. AND SO ON. D:

[Hdinoify]

This is my favorite series of all time. This show is what got me into anime and manga, though the theme song was a little weird (and still is) the show itself made up for it.

[volcomxl1080]

Gosh this is all coming back to me, Samurai x is the best but the very first episodes OVA 1,2,and I think 3 where they show kenshin (shinta) as a boy and how he came to be Buttosai The Man Slayer!!!! Aaaaaaaawww I miss those days

[topspin13]

oh jeez i haven't seen this in years! so many memories

[yashamoto]

And now... I HAVE to go watch some Rurouni Kenshin...

[MrFoshizzlePro]

@yashamoto that you do :) And so do I xD Im still not finished watching the series yet lol Once Im finished with the series, I think I might restart watching it again from the beginning :)

[toretsblaby]

I MISS THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrMaskedGames]

@SausageFrosted i think it was intentional like he started off a man slayer and turns his life around

[SausageFrosted]

@MrMaskedGames yeah that would make sense ^_^

[SausageFrosted]

loved this anime.. but was kind of confused at how like dark and badass the first 10 seconds were then it turned bright and bubbley

[yorbaz]

ever since toonami vanished, CN just got...unbareable, more than usual.

[Cyrax0008]

@yorbaz yeah, even late toonami was crap, the new president or whoever's in charge there hated toonami because he was stupid and decided to feature his son that everybody despised in a bunch of crappy shows, the power has changed hands again, still not as good T_T.

[Hannitakeehl]

wow, this is a very very good dubbed song!!

[kennypachi00]

Not many series on Cartoon-Network are shown all the way, but because of CN i was introduce to so many great anime and was able to finish seeing up them elsewhere. But i do miss the old toonami!!

[arahman56]

Scumbag Media Blasters.

Dub the Anime.

Can't translate the credits.

[mistyaqua]

I miss these shows so much. It would be nice to turn on the T.V. and have a blast from the past once and a while. There isn't even a trace of anime left on Cartoon Network. Not just anime, there used to be loony toons on every Saturday morning. If you watch Cartoon Network now, all they play is total crap. I wouldn't let a kid watch it. Total Drama Island? Really? What the fuck is the world coming to?

[Zexion98]

I used to watch this when i was like 5 or 6, maybe that's why all us kids are so fucked up 10 year leater.

[idiotmuffin]

oh god i got goosebumps i don't know why.

i really miss this show..

[EmoInu13]

Its been 9 years since this song played in my house last, it brings backs some very fond memories of my early Childhood.

[IxAMxLAWLIET]

@EmoInu13 Same here, god I wish I could just go back and relive those great times:D back to when CN had real shows.

[swordo21]

The ONLY memory I have left of this show is some battle between Kenshin and some other bad ass dude in the middle of the night and Kenshin's all like I won't kill you and he prepares to do this like reversed blade attack but the dude blocks his sword and Kenshin does the same attack with his scabbard and like breaks the dude's neck. GOD THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME

[Siiiiegfried]

God Yuyuhakusho+ Kenshin back to back, what a good way to spend the afternoon god damn you cartoon network R.I.P

[jasmine12lover]

I loved this show. But the opening theme just takes out the BAness of this show. Thumbs up if you agree

[jstealth89]

That's actually an awesome dub of the original version the girl singing the song sounds exactly like the original.

[Redfire085]

very misleading opening! You start expecting a badass intro and suddenly it turns all cheerful and shit(not a bad thing giving the nature of the show as a whole)

[BlasianChineseBoy]

I miss Toonami...American cartoons SUCK.

[GearShotgun]

@BlasianChineseBoy so true

[kinggreg41189]

@BlasianChineseBoy boy if you think american cartoon suck you can "geeet out"

[TrueYujiro]

@kinggreg41189 American Cartoons do suck. Do you even know what American cartoons are?

[OnlyTubenami]

@TrueYujiro Not all american cartoons suck. Just like how not all anime are good.

[Slashbash]

@BlasianChineseBoy No they don't. There are plenty that are awesome.

[TheKunai777]

@BlasianChineseBoy I agree. Im from America and no one tries anymore.

[S0ryiu]

@TheKunai777 Anime doesn't try anymore either... I have yet to see an anime made after 2005 that I like at all.

[123thinkbright]

I love this song! It's so happy for a kinda dark anime, but it just fits the opening so well X] It's catchy - and Rurouni Kenshin, by far, one of the best shows that ever came on.

[DiceFTW273]

.... I must watch this series (English not sub)!!! *Looks at clock*.. Oh **** 4 AM?!... I'll start looking after sleep ...

[SilverRaichu]

R.I.P Toonami and all the good shit that went with it :(

[GundamFan201]

Happy 15th Anniversary Rurouni Kenshin!

[robotkiller123]

This is when anime was made for fun, not for greed. Now there's barely any passionate people willing to make the next best anime out there... Rubbish greedy people. When are they going to realize that money isn't everything.

[MrPomaranian]

LIVE ACTION CONFIRMED! >:D

[kawaiisakuchan]

AHH THEY HAVE TO BRING BACK RUROUNI KENSHIN AND ALL THOSE AMAZING CLASSIC ANIMES TO TOONAMI T__T omg im SO HAPPY they're finally making another rk anime series! thank god. i've been waiting for like over 10 years hahahahaa T____T this song is so nostalgic...xDDD i grew up watching this!

[peiceOcheese]

YESSS!!!! They have confirmed that there is going to be another kenshin series!!!!!! Bought time!

[ThePumpkin95]

This song is epic.

[kagekiller087]

so many awesome memories :')

i havent heard this song in over 10 years.. tears of joy made their way to my eyes :'D ^_^

[nemmo13]

lol this was the first anime i ever got into.

[RCrowlzor]

I love this anime,and this opening,but it always leaves me confused. at first I'm rocking out to the awesome guitar, and then suddenly it's somewhat generic translated J-pop...it hurts my brain.

[HookedOnSonics518]

Did Judy and Mary sing the english version too?

[TheKunai777]

GREATES ANIME OF ALLTIME!

[chippy89]

@TheKunai777 YOU MEAN GREATEST THEM OF ALL TIME

[juando2012]

[juando2012]

[Redfoxx4eva]

[dustyarmpit]

[NeroxShiro]

Nostalgia

[darkmananimefan]

@JustNeed4Subs YES!!!

[TheTaintedPariah]

btw a friend of mine posted a link from anime news network saying that there coming out with NEW Rurouni Kenshin episodes. KENSHIN LIVES!!!!

[beutifulMJlover4ever]

BEST ANIME EVERRRR!! BEST BEST

n iv seen SOO many but this one is the bestttt! n then escaflowne

[beargirl0961]

you can go to animefreak.tv and watch th eanime there. it is really good and funny. i loved it.

[ocarinadude12]

Now cartoons, they try to only play off of humor and fail miserably when they try to even attempt a semi-serious part. Good anime like Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho have a good balance.

[MisiorChris]

0:56 - 1:25 used to be my favorite....i used to sing it in like 2nd grade when it came on

[Morbidjeff666]

@MisiorChris me 2 miss this shit so....

[Niaggalover]

@naacho095 are you fucking retarded?

[ivanelmasterzx]

@naacho095 Pobre idiota, esta es la version en ingles...

[talu26]

@naacho095 esta en ingles e.eU

[Niaggalover]

@talu26 genius

[BlueChan100]

I swear...if Kenshin would stay Batosai, he wouldn't be such a loli...

[DDCrob]

thank you i swear i can never find this song in english so thanks for uploading it

[Puric95Wolf]
