The best thing about this scene is that it doesn't do the stereotypical anime thing where they're standing and facing each other having flashbacks or internal monologue. It's just powerful and meaningful music set over a grisly scene, and the writers assume you have the emotional intelligence to comprehend the atmosphere instead of just narrating it to you and telling you what to feel. In fact, the whole OVA is like that. That's what made it great.
@@carlosluismendez7392 You do know what "stereotypical" means right? By telling me to watch more to find single instances of what I described is literally proving my point.
@@MetalGearDavid57 Nope, you need to watch more japanese cinema instead of adaptations of shonen manga. And this can be call more stereotypical because the way the action is done here has roots in 60 years of tradition. Japanese action is really like this, it takes a moment of calm, then explode and ends very fast. That's why the tried to do something different with the live action movie because the action director had a lot of experience in action movies from Hong Kong.
@@MetalGearDavid57 . Anime took elements from Japanese Cinema for his style of storytelling from the very beginning because that's what Osamu Tezuka said to his animators at Mushi pro back in the day, 'just go and learn cinematic techniques'. What you call stereotypical anime are just shonen manga tropes.
its also deeper the white plum also symbolizes how shes blossoming out of season as Saito mentions when He tells Okita he smells white plum. she also sybolizes that she's the most scented flower during the rain whether thatd be a rain of blood. Shes basically what brings Kenshi harmony during his Bakumatsu era as the battousai
Because it's an OVA. While not always the case, OVAs generally have better quality animation compared to television series since they aren't rushed out the door. They're basically in-between the quality found in anime series and theatrical movies.
@@Sawngawkuh No. I'm tired of hearing this argument. It's just an excuse. Their are tons of modern OVAs that have the budget and the workmanship like this did, more even, but they don't capture the style of handrawn animation like this one does. It's a difference in method and intention, as well as skill honestly. They don't make them like this anymore. Not saying their aren't good animes but I honestly can't call most of them classics like Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun.
@@stormcutter59 One, it's not an "excuse," it's an explanation. An explanation that even applied far back then when this came out. OVAs generally (NOT ALWAYS, but GENERALLY) look better than TV series, be it during the 80s, 90s, or today. Two, no one was talking about style and art direction, just animation quality in general. When it comes to more nuanced elements like the direction of scenes and art styles, I do share the same sentiment where I prefer the more gritty and adult look that's seldomly seen these days outside of seinen manga and only a few anime.
I must say ...this was the most heart aching movie i ever watched back in childhood. I have aged well but still watching this movie brings tears in eyes.
Man, i miss this old school, but most epic style and direction of anime. You dont see this anymore, so sad. Is the director of this ova still working? But hey, maybe im just the typical snob who drools n nostalgia.
Ghoul FZ Of course 😀 Many positive comments on Amazon Prime Japan are very recent. I can tell the story of Tomoe & Kenshin never gets old. Even far more renowned than it first came up.
The most beautiful scene I have seen in anime. And the music is epic.And when Kenshin looked up at Tomoe, the distance between the two, the rain and the blood, make it truly a masterpiece
When anime is art, not a modern joke. This scene is perfect. I tried to look for something similiar, but fights in this ova (this one and first with tomoe boyfriend) made so quick and deadly that it looks like real fights. Even that jumping on roof killer. Camera work, shifting between speachless characters, dropped sword, animated blood covering her umbrella. Well, I believe i there will be no more something comparable. Some Kenshin vibes was in House of Five Leaves, but its more about decoration, not fights. There is almost no fights at all.
Someone gets it^ Sad to see the "modern joke," anime has become. It used to be the cutting edge (pun intended), but now it caters to the lowest common denominator.
@@dxcSOUL Typical boomer elitist; there are plenty of great animes airing in this era like Vinland Saga.. If you're more into retro animes I highly recommend watching Ashita no Joe and Monster.
@@Pogokoala Well I don't watch anime for a living so that's the only one I've been keeping up with this season; plenty of other great ones that've finished airing recently like Made in Abyss S2, Mob Psycho 100 S3, JJBA Part 6's final arc, Kingdom S4, 86 Part 2.
Facts i dont know why but it feels like a different anime because how he just kills him I dont know but I usally see goofy kenshin the ovas are so serious and sad
The badass kenshin and the one from the romantic tales of the meiji era. The polar difference hiding is what makes it special. The reason behind his sweet and innocent talk, the reverse blade, all hiding in those scars, revealed in a masterpiece called Trust and Betrayal. One must see Rurouni Kenshin, wandering samurai, and the legend of Kyoto, the main story, to appreciate this.
The soundtrack is called "A Boy Meets the Man" for those wondering. I also didn't realize this assassin was that important to the story that he got the soundtrack title (note: kenshin is only like 14 in this movie)
Imagine the adrenaline from both sides; the Oniwabanshu assassin's anxiety because of not being able to sneakily one shot Kenshin, which was known as an extremely dangerous and skillful assassin and that of Kenshin for recognizing a brutal and merciless assassin standing in front of him in a little dark alley where only one will come out alive.
Looking forward to see how they are going to remake this majestic scene in the upcoming live action movie. It would be a real challenge especially the subtle Tomoe’s perfume symbollism.
@@jigen7 gah, I was disappointed as well. But honestly this scene is too good. The mix of the music, Tomoe's voice actress, Kenshin's shocked expression, even the subtle sword drop, is all excellent cinematography. The live-action does not compare at all in this scene XD.
The versions that I watched years ago always had a different translation “Remarkably you made it rain, a rain of blood” honestly not sure which one is more accurate but that’s part of what makes anime cool for some. Interpret the exact meaning of the words how you will.
Imagine wasting your time on trash like Family Guy when 1999 also had Ruroni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal, GTO, Hunter x Hunter, Legend of Galactic Heroes, Crest of the Stars, Jin Roh, Now and then Here and There, The Big O, etc.
Well, I would say that the first few seasons of Family Guy were pretty hilarious and worth watching, but if you're talking about newer stuff, then yeah sure, dip on that shit
eu nunca gostei da série de TV do Rurouni Kenshin(da trilha sonora sim e muito) mas esse OVA é uma obra prima e essa cena nunca saiu sai minha mente. Que anime, meus amigos, que anime sensacional esse.
Back again to say Live-action ain't got shit on this. That was live-action anime wannabe, which is respectable by those standards. But this OVA transcends anime. I had really hoped to see this tragic-starcrossed-romance arc acted out in a grounded/realistic style in live action, but as soon as I saw the first Rurouni Kenshin live-action, I knew it was never gonna be. But fine, nothing is going to replace this OVA.
I mean yeah while I agree to that, but the anime and live action have always different standard. Its like comparing the taste of beef meat and fish meat, how dumb is that???
@@umarmuhtadin3784 No, it's like comparing the different kind of cuts of beef, all from the same franchise, all from the same cow, but different parts. Comparing beef to chicken is like comparing Rurouni Kenshin to Teletubbies, how dumb is that?

This scene is real epic. It gives me chills every time I see it.

I feel the same. It's one of the best moments in anime I've ever seen...
I love the way it shows the flowers before he sees her
For clarification those flowers actually symbolizes Tomoe's perfume. She captures Kenshin's attention with her perfume once before this event

One of the best animes ever, really...
since
its pure anime, no IA, talentless chics and computer...pure talent
Let's not talk down the live action, those were amazing movies. I also prefer the OAV but the Live action holds up really well.

A cinematic masterpiece of a scene here.
Every word Tomoe says here is a perfect blend of script, voice acting, music and cinematography.

He was thinking about trying one more time after healing.
