'ruruoni' means Wanderer. Kenshin is a name - Himura Kenshin, Battousi the Manslayer (it's worse than Tolkien! This guy's got 15 names and every few episodes someone else claiming to be him shows up!)

It's set in 1870s (I think) Japan, ten years after the Meiji Restoration that eliminated most of the power of the Shoguns and pretty much got rid of the samurai. That gives it some depth, all of the characters are trying to live in the new world that's been created. I'm a fan already.

Oh, and the fight scenes are incredible.

Better yet - I'm paid by the hour, so I can work in little chunks or whatever without feeling guilty. Maybe I'll only actually work for 6 hours but I'll be sitting here for 9.

It should be, it's one of the most popular anime of all time. I can see why!

I'm not ready to say yet... but this could take Escaflowne's place as my favorite anime.

Hey, has D seen 'Fruits Basket'? I keep seeing it mentioned and have no clue what that's about.

Fruits Baskets, yeah there are those on the computer. I remember D likes them. He gets them on WinMX. But I have no idea what it is.
