page 1 of 2

Not trying to offend, but SDK shares a ton of similarities with Ruroni Kenshin (Samurai X). Particularly character-wise. To think I almost mistook it for a new Samurai X anime... ^^;
Please, your thoughts.

negative. nothing to do with each other, other than sekigahara. the great battle that took place. kyo is about ownage in its purest form. with a shitload of katanas flying around and killing anyone that tries to hinder Omine No kyo!!!!!! the demon eyes kyo is the killer of a thousand men, and is infinitly more badass than Kenshin. thats my opinion. sorry for being to onesided.

i think samurai deeper kyo is quite different from rurouni keshin...as thedarkone4198 said, they pretty much hav nothing to do with each other apart from sekigahara and the storyline is totally different. whilst rurouni kenshin has characters who were alive in the past, most characters in SDK are quite original. if i was to say an anime that was alike to rurouni kenshin, i would say Peace Maker Kurogane

Absolutely nothing to do with Samurai X whatsoever. To be honest I love Samurai Deeper Kyo, its a fantastic series and the animation for it is simply beautiful. The storyline itself is just as how dark described it. The series has nothing in common except for the usage of swords. Otherwise they are two completely different series. I strongly you give a look into Kyo because I feel that it is WELL worth the money.

haven't really seen much of the the anime but what I watched so far seems to have nothing in common with samurai x
the main characters appear to be polar opposites
the manga however, it friggin awesome --samurai deeper-
can't really compare them

*points at Cy's avie*.. <.<
lolz.. but fo real though.. i thik Samurai Deeper and Samurai X r very different.. if u watch or read both of the series.. Carefully O.o.. then u'll see the difference.. thats wat i think ^^

Thanks for the input. Who knows? I may give it a second shot...

=P Its worth it, in all out honesty, Kenshin is a bad ass, but Kyo.....Ooooo He makes Kenshin look like a pussy at times =P. But I'd say that'd be interesting to watch Kenshin and Kyo go at it, quick! Get the artist for Kenshin and Kyo to draw fight scenes!

yeah,I agree with cyanide,SDK is more better and greater than samuray x,onime no kyo and mibu kyoushiro is more better than kenshin

that's what i though when i read the first manga but it's different ! very different, particularly in the tone and atmosphere of it !!!

samurai deeper kyo is completely different from samurai x o_O

first of all, the main conflict in samurai deeper kyo is kyo and kyoshiro's conflict in one body against the order whose trying to control the world. kenshin's conflict is staying with the ones he loves and fighting against his past for his present.

i think samurai x is better, but samurai deeper kyo ain't bad either :)

Well, it sorta reminds me of a mix of the Trigun and R. Kenshin series feel to it, but i guess thats about it 8p

i never really liked the Demon eyes dude, he was so uncool one can be while at the same time beeing a powerhouse, don't usually like that mix so i never saw/read it completely 8P

Wtf...? Man maybe you should read up on your history before you star something like this. o_O First off, Kenshin was a real general in the Japanese Army that fought against the samurai. Not only are the characters fake in SDK, the only thing true about it was the battle of Sekigahara. o_O Samurai X is also VERY serious and depressing, while SDK is funny.. SX is more down-to-earth with minimal fantasy, while SDK is very fantasy-like, with the Muramasa and the characters.

Jeez, they're VERY different.

Not really into Samurai Deeper Kyo i prefer historical animes and a mummy samurai named Shishio lol.
what everyone above said.

Sounds interresting. I have seen samurai X but not samurai Kyo

sdk !!! i love the manga , the level of enjoyment is on par or surpassing those of kenshin manga. maybe its just me haha xD oh yea - the anime stopped following the manga at chapter 2

the editors of CN comic&anime mangazines always say:See when it'll stop copying from Kenshin :nya:


they're much alike in some parts indeed-_-I like Kyo better^^

ah, here's to resurrecting the old threads! yah, i too have noticed that some of the characters from SDK seem somewhat similar to kenshin... like yuya~kaoru, benitora ~sano, etc... but despite the similarities there are differences... SDK is somewhat darker than kenshin, but it's nice to read it after finishing kenshin, because i can still get my samurai fix!i'm actually starting to like SDK more than rurouni kenshin...but we'll see after i finish reading the series... (i haven't seen the anime yet...)

xd samuray deeper kyo is very very cool XD

Nothing at all to do with each other, they don't take place anywhere realitive to each other (Rurouni Kenshin takes place during the bakamatsu, the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, whereas Samurai Deeper Kyo takes place right after the Sekigahara, which is the very beginning of the Tokugawa. In fact, Benitora IS a Tokugawa). They share some faint similarities, but that's about it. Samurai Deeper Kyo is far more... fantasy ... than Rurouni Kenshin.

Really, any anime/manga about samurai can share faint similarities with any other. :P

Good grief, the timelines aren't even the same for one. I'm an adherent of the manga for each series, and that's where you can really see the differences. I dunno, the SDK anime just didn't do it for me - they cut out too much of the story, which is why I guess some people were making the mistake of equating SDK with Rurouni Kenshin.

Quote by CyanideBlizzard=P Its worth it, in all out honesty, Kenshin is a bad ass, but Kyo.....Ooooo He makes Kenshin look like a pussy at times =P. But I'd say that'd be interesting to watch Kenshin and Kyo go at it, quick! Get the artist for Kenshin and Kyo to draw fight scenes!

You sooooooo did not just insult Kenshin there! Screaming Kenshin Fangirl Ryu,Aitou Ryousen! *Ker-whack!

SDK and Kenshin have some similarities but they also the their differences as well. As Sylvacoer said SDK and Kenshi do not take place in the same time. SDK occurs around the beginng of the Edo era whereas RK occurs at the end.
Here's a link to a rather detailed analysis that someone wrote up of the similarities and differences between SDK and Kenshin. it's really interesting! :D http://www.imaginarie.com/Blog/archive/00000083.htm#SDKstory

It's definately nothing like Kenshin... I'm up to volume 12 in the manga and will be seeing the anime shortly and I have seen some minor similarities in the beginning, but it went on a much different course than Kenshin.

I highly reccomend it to everyone.

Rin-chan

I found Rurouni Kenshin more interesting than Samurai Deeper Kyo
