Is this literally the best OVA ever made?
Hands down.
The art, dialogue, acting, characters, story, music, choreography - everything. The fucking music holy shit. It's unmatched.
Only negative point is has is Kenshin's English VA, and that's subjective.
It's certainly up there.

For me the answer is yes it is.
Either that or pic related.
yes. Best thing DEEN probably has ever done
>>156471934
Best ever?
Tied with Giant Robo, Macross Plus, Black Jack and Gunbuster imo
It's certainly one of the few anime I've ever gone out and bought a physical copy of.

One of anime's edgiest moments.
I might have found it sad had the cover not outright spoiled the ending. Also the fact that the girl never appears in the TV series.
>>156471934
Hard to believe one of the finest OVAs that far exceeded the source material came from fucking deen of all studios.

Show caught up with the manga, went into filler hell and then dropped because of low ratings.
>>156478438
So she actually appears in the manga then?
>>156478608
Yes in the flashback. The OVA is more detailed though
>>156478438
Of course, almost immediately after the Shishio arc. The prelude of the final arc is pretty much what we see in the flashback OVA.

>Macross Plus
>>156478438
Even so, the manga declined in quality during the revenge arc.
