User Recommendations for Rurouni Kenshin

Both feature a similar main character who is strong, but does not seem strong.

Godly Swordsman/Gunman wanders around in bright-colored clothes determined not to kill anyone and uses his amazing skills to save people leaving everyone around in awe.

The main character in both animes seems like he is totally oblivious and clumsy, but he's really a major badass. That's about the only similarity, besides the fact that they both rock =)

Both shows feature a highly-skilled warrior with a troubled past, wandering throughout the world on a mission of peace. Yet, despite their efforts, trouble follows them around, constantly challenging their main principle to not take a life. Of course, this is all done in a hilarious manner, but while in Kenshin the last 20 or so episodes are just funny filler, Trigun turns more serious the closer it gets to the end.

both the protagonists have a troubled past that made them swear never to kill again. they also share several other traits plot and character wise

both main heros dont kill they repent for their past killings

While completely different in setting, Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun share a main character who is trying to escape a violent past through a life of pacifism. They are helped along the way by an often pugnacious female and a really cool second male lead. Trigun is thematically like Kenshin, but has action more akin to Cowboy Bebop.

These two anime are SO much alike and I think a list will best describe the similarities: *Both have main characters, who are masters at killing, but are instead pacifists. *The main struggle of each is that the MC is trying to escape his past, but each must ultimately confront. *Both are action heavy, but have a very goofy side. *MC have scars!!!!

Both of the main characters make the vow to not kill.

-Both protagonists have a moral code who have sworn never break. -Both protagonists had a difficult past. -Both protagonists try to live a peaceful life

While playing in widely different settings, Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun both revolve around a protagonist who has sworn to never kill anyone after realizing their bloody actions. Both shows feature the journey of the character, while also having lots of action and a bit of comedy. The animation is also very similar.

In both series, the main character is a badass pacifist, and both storylines tackle similar themes. The settings are very different, but the overall feel of both shows is very much alike Side note: the first episode of both shows have basically the exact same storyline.
