    I'm probably rating this a little higher than I would have just because of the section with Enishi, which we don't get to see captured in the anime series. I like how this portion was done--it was heart-wrenching. The rest is appallingly bland, and I seriously think the only reason this OVA was made was to pander to Kenshin/Kaoru shippers. Almost the entire thing was fluff ("awww look, they got married! Awww look, they had a baby!") and Kenshin and Kaoru both seemed extremely out of character. Kaoru in particular is painfully pathetic and doesn't value herself at all. Voice acting was clearly a cut corner, as all the characters sound awkward and stilted in their deliveries. Watch Trust and Betrayal, skip this.

    This movie changed my opinion of Kaoru considerably. While she's a decent character who just has a few "moments" in the anime, she's completely pathetic and obnoxious in this movie. Keeps talking about how she "wants to live her life entirely for him" and even how she "wishes she could die for him so he would love her the way he loved Tomoe." Really? Get a fucking grip, girl, and find some sense of self-worth. In the words of RuPaul... http://www.yogapossible.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/rupaul.gif tl;dr I now ship Kenshin and Tomoe for lyfe

      Editing … I think at least Trust and Betrayal is canon? Because Enishi is the main antagonist in the third arc of the manga, and his "origin story" is based on the events of Trust and Betrayal. I liked that OVA, but this one just seemed to have no sense of purpose or direction aside from pandering to Kenshin/Kaoru shippers.

      Editing … TnB is canon yeah, but reflections isn't, most of it isn't based on the manga and even the main creator/writer of the series said he doesn't consider it canon (even to the tv show) and just plain doesn't like it because he found it too depressing. From the plot synopsis alone I'm inclined to agree with him

      Editing … What do you not understand? Besides the term "OVA," because I can see non-fans not being familiar with that term.
