Is it worth to watch Rurouni Kenshin?
KyraMaverick:
I loved Kenshin. The 3rd arc wasn't that great, just compiled of short filler episodes.
Kenshin's personality is a bit different through the series then it was during the OVA. Much more goofy at first.
If you read manga I would suggest that, but the anime is no throwaway.

I agree with most people here, It is a good series. And it is definitely worth watching atleast once through the Kyoto arc. Personally I have seen the series a couple of times and i still love it. If you are looking for a bloody action pact gore fest you aren't going to find it here though.
The only thing that bothers me is how the animation goes from grundgy in the first 2-3 episodes to ok, then to pretty darn good for the time. It makes me laugh really.

ok kenshin after it goes into filler (click to show/hide)it gets really shitty if memory serves he fights a blind religious wacko who i think uses the same style as him and one other person who is shot in the stomach but NEEDS TO FIGHT KENSHIN and loses cuz he was shot alreadynow my memory is prolly a bit off, but ill definately suggest completely skipping the series. Its a watered down version of the OVAs.
If your looking for stuff thats good and similar, check out shura no toki, 12 kingdoms and serei no moribito the 2nd 2 arent quite the same but are fantastic

I finished 12 kingdoms a few months ago, it is pretty darn good. Takes a little getting use to, and I don't like how they left one of the characters hanging. But it was really good.
As for Serei no Moribito; it was good, a little dull in the middle, but I enjoyed the series from beginning to end. (click to show/hide)And the way they left the ending open like that made me happy. I hope there is a second one!

This is my advice to you:
First watch all Kenshin episodes and pay good attention to the Shinsengumi captains there.
Then start watching Gintama and be ready to laugh your ass off.
