Rurouni Kenshin Movie
Alt titles: Samurai X: The Motion Picture
Synopsis:
During the Bakumatsu Period, death filled Japan as people fought for what was in their hearts. A young man took up the sword to fight for the Meiji government: he was known as Hitokiri Battousai. It is now the 12th year of the Meiji Period, and Hitokiri Battousai is now known as Himura Kenshin; he atones for his sins by carrying a reversed-blade sword that will never kill again. During a trip to Yokohama, Kenshin meets a samurai named Takimi Shigure who lost a close friend, Takatsuki Gentatsu, during the conflicts in the past. Takimi blames himself foolishly for his friend’s death, and vows to take revenge upon this corrupt Meiji government who wasted Gentatsu's sacrifice. As swords weave blood from their masters' enemies upon the bloody ground, one thing is certain: revenge will bring only suffering and regret is a miserable feeling.

add recThe setting in Ninja Scroll and the Kenshin Movie is very alike. Both have good background music, a short story, and lots of action sequences. On top of that the characters have similar goals. Due to these similarities, there is the same kind of atmosphere in both (even though Ninja Scroll is less realistic than the Kenshin Movie).

add recBakumatsu, like the Kenshin Movie, is another anime that combines great samurai fights with a well-paced story. In both, there are plenty of characters who are troubled by their pasts and are scheming to change the world they live in. Bakumatsu adds quite a bit of mystery to its story as well.
