Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, released in Japan as Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen (追憶編 Recollection or Reminiscence), is a four part original video animation series (OVA) that serves as a prequel to the Rurouni Kenshin anime television series.
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. Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal follows the progress of the rebellion against the Shogunate and the complex evolution of Kenshin's and Tomoe's involvement, and reveals how Kenshin received the distinctive cross-shaped facial scar that gives the film its name.

This anime was really good, if only that Kenshin's soliloquy towards the end runs a bit too long.

going to check this out. i think is cool they made the animation more fluid. samurai x is one of my favorites animes. but looking back at it, and compare to other animes, the animation was good but not that fluid. not a big problem, though.
