List of episodes
The second season of the 1996 Rurouni Kenshin anime television series is directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi and produced by Aniplex and Fuji Television. The season ran in Japan on Fuji Television from October 30, 1996, to September 17, 1997. The season is based on volumes 7–18 of the manga series of the same name by Nobuhiro Watsuki, and depicts the fight of the former assassin named Kenshin Himura, against his successor Makoto Shishio, who aims to conquer Japan.
The series was licensed for broadcast and home video release in North America by Media Blasters, who split it up into "seasons".[1] They refer to their English dub of episodes 28–62 as season two. They were aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block from April 23, 2003, through October 18, 2003.[2] Media Blasters released this season within DVDs seven to fourteen of the anime from May 1, 2001, to November 13, 2001. A DVD compilation of season 2 was released on January 17, 2006.
Five pieces of theme music are used during these episodes. The opening theme "Sobakasu" by Judy and Mary continues to be used, but the ending theme changed to "Heart of Sword - Yoake Mae" by T.M. Revolution. By episode 39, the opening theme is "1/2" by Makoto Kawamoto and the ending theme is "The Fourth Avenue Cafe" by L'Arc-en-Ciel. The theme changes back to "Heart of Sword - Yoake Mae" at episode 43, due to backlash from L'Arc-en-Ciel's drummer being arrested for heroin possession,[3] then at episode 50 it changes again, this time to "It's Gonna Rain" by Bonnie Pink.
