REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Oct. 12, 2000

ADV films, the Texas-based anime distributor, presents a video screening of one of their latest manga titles: a double feature of Samurai X films, for whom the Austin office provides the voice talent. The story centers around Rurouni Kenshin, a young assassin employed by the Choshu Clan in the early 1860s to eliminate the strongest of the ruling class enemies.
