While I'm not a huge fan of shonen, I think Kenshin is a great series. Kenshin is a great character, and many of the villains that appear for more than a few episodes are memorable. Naturally, I watched this on TV when I was younger. I decided to revisit it a few months ago, and still thought it was amazing. The Meiji arc contains a lot of good individual episodes showing Kenshin's new way of life, while the Kyoto arc has a lot of nonstop back-to-back fighting. The OVA series are superb, especially Tsuiokuhen (Trust and Betrayal). The final season of the anime is horrible, even for filler standards, and ended up being canceled before the end of the manga could be animated. The final arc is fully contained in the manga (volumes 18-28), and is worth a read if you enjoyed the anime.
