Vagabond... best, like, ever.
But I also love anything that has to do with Miyamoto Musashi.
No, Ruruoni Kenshin is.
That being said, yes, Musashi rocks.
He beat a guy to death with an ore because he could. Cause' you know, swords are great, but nothing puts a master swordsman to shame like beating him to death with an oar.
A widdled down oar at that. I love Japanese history. That and US due to all the crazy people that made impact.
