# Rurouni Kenshin Parental Guide "Rurouni Kenshin" features frequent sword-fighting action with strong violence that may be intense for younger children, though the TV-14 rating suggests it's aimed at teenagers. The storyline is mature and complex, with mild language and sexual content. Parents should preview episodes first to determine if their child can handle the combat scenes.

The Meiji Era was one of great renewal for Japan, where swords and killing were outlawed. However, many survivors from the time of Revolution still live, lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to use their killing blades again. Only Kenshin Himura, formerly one of the most brutal of killers, hopes to keep his swordsman's honor and still live in the new era.
