    NOTE: Er...I'm wondering about some of the scenes they cut and why they cut them. I see no reason for them to have cut the shot of Kenshin's foot after Aoshi punches him, they could've just removed the blood nor the shot of Okina after the Kamatari thing. I think having the opening theme, which is the wrong one and annoying to me, is the cause for these pointless edits. They also have been very inconsistant with the blood edits, starting to edit them and then abandoning it....guess you blood thirsty people are having a great time. Was funny that they left Kamatari being a guy...tehe.

    NOTE: It's official for me...I DO NOT like Rurouni Kenshin on on Saturday. They are now making the most pointless edits that I have ever seen them make and, in a way, I think pointless edits are a whole lot worse then editing for blood, violence and language are. For example, there was no reason on earth to take out the shot of Okina being shocked after discovering that Kamatari was not a woman but a man that I could see. I realise that Okina is a leacherous old man and that he may have been thinking that Kamatari looked good but still he was just as shocked as the others and there was nothing in the shot that was suggestive really. I think they are just making cuts because of the time added by having an opening theme, which is the wrong one for the arc. And they have become even more inconsistant with the blood thing too. If they are going to leave it in the majority of the time then they may as well just leave it in all the time. It would save CN some money.
