...why so many people react negativly towards the 
different character designs in the Kenshin OVAs?  
Personally, I like them much better.  I think 
everything from the music to the style of how 
they presented the story was so much better than 
the commonly "funny" TV series.  Granted, humor 
is great and I loved the TV series too, but I 
would rather take drama over humor any day.  I 
think the art style reflected this important 
aspect.
