General RK Sites |
eternal-nostalgia ~ a RoseThorn
site A small but growing RK site with a lovely layout and color
scheme. Nice webmistress too. |
+ journey's
end: the rurouni kenshin cross + A lovely site with a gorgeous,
elegant layout. Contains a particularly informative Seiso-hen section for
those who haven't seen the OVA and are interested. |
Kenshin
Village This one is really cheerful looking. I like the colorful
design and layout. It's got a cute Nobuhiro Watsuki page as well.
|
Kenshinny's Homepage A really cool site with a lot
of unique Kenshin content. Contains pages on doujinishi scans, cel art,
and cosplay, among other things. |
Kenshin's Laundromat I've been watching this site for some time.
Not the largest RK site by any means, but I had to list this one because
it's simply adorable. |
Let It Burn
A general RK site with plenty of pics and info, not to mention a sleek,
pleasing layout. |
The-
orO.com Multmedia downloads, fan art, Kenshin Kaden manga scans,
quizzes.... This site's got a little bit of everything. |
Path of the Samurai:
PK's Rurouni Kenshin Not quite finished yet, but this RK site is
steadily growing. Bouncy and colorful with plenty of graphics. A nice
site with a nice (and persistent) webmaster. |
Radial Keratotamy and Other Philosophical Issues An odd name for a
Kenshin site, but I really like this one. Ms. Ravenwood offers some deep
insights into the RK characters. A site with substance. |
RK Quest A new general RK site with plenty to look at.
Nice informational articles, image scans, cool Winamp skins, and even some
video downloads. |
RK Xtreme Gorgeous
layout. Character info, forum, and multimedia. Parts of the site are
still under construction. |
Rurouni Kenshin.it It's an Italian site but many of
the pages are translated into English. Plenty of good stuff including a
lot of downloads. |
Rurouni Kenshin
Romantation
A really beautiful general RK site. Plenty of information and cool stuff
to browse through
including story and character guides, image galleries, and multimedia
goodies.
Frequently updated. |
Yume no
Rurouni A cool new RK site. Still small, but growing. It
features image scans and links to the webmistress' recommended fanfics.
Pretty layout and easy navigation. It'll be nice to watch this promising
site grow. |
|
RK Character Sites |
Blue Eyes: A
Soujirou/Aoshi Site The title is pretty self-explanatory, no?
Obviously this site has shounen-ai content. Also contains adult (as in
NC-17) material, but it's done in a tasteful manner. |
ends of a
spectrum: an Aoshi Misao fanfiction archive Run by Misao Mei Mei,
this Misao-Aoshi archive has a very pleasant layout and easy navigation.
|
Every Step You
Take Chock-full of K&K goodness. Includes fiction, art,
wallpapers, and even fan doujinshis. Appealing clean layout
too. |
Eternal Smile A lovely Seta Soujiro site featuring plenty of character info, pictures, and downloads. |
intermezzo -
a.kenshin.and.kaoru.shrine A beautiful K&K shrine with a nice
layout. Plenty to read and browse through. I particularly like the
miscellaneous section. |
The Kaoru
Must Die Homepage LOL, I know I'm going to get flack for listing
this ascerbic little site, but it was too funny, and I couldn't resist.
For the record, I don't have any problems with Kaoru. She's likable
enough. |
kuni
tori: Shishio shrine A shrine dedicated to my favorite villain,
woohoo! |
Limitless Love A very small site, still, but it's
growing. And it's dedicated to Yumi, and there aren't too many shrines
devoted to her that I know of. |
Mibu no Ookami: The Lair of Saitou Hajime Self-
explanatory title. A great site with tons of info on Saito and the
Shinsengumi. |
S.a.i.s.a
F.a.n.a.r.t A yaoi site dedicated to Sano and Saitou. It's got
adult content, so it's not one for young folks. But still, the chibi pics
are quite cute. And the webmistress' obvious enthusiasm is rather
infectious. |
Shrine
of Ice and Fire A Megumi and Aoshi pairing site. Features fan
works, images, and contests. Lots of good stuff. |
|
RK Fan Fiction |
The Griffin's
Lair: Calger's Anime Shrine Nice fan fics, plus a great Japanese-
English glossary. Calger also has some very cool art. I particularly
like her paintings of dragons. She's also got a really cool AMV: The Rhythm of the Heat, music by Peter
Gabriel. |
Heart of the Flaming Sword Featuring the fanfiction of Kanzen ne
Tsuki and
other RK fanfic authors, this archive contains stories rated for both
young readers
and for more mature audiences. |
Himuragumiplus
Historical info on the Meiji era in relation to Himura Kenshin.
Definitely something to check out if you're an RK fanfic writer!
|
MeijiTales.com :: Rurouni Kenshin
FanFiction This is a new site that accepts fan fiction
submissions. Runs in the tradition of TFME, and they'll also be hosting
the RKRC from now on. |
Rurouni Kenshin
Reader's Choice Fanfiction Awards 2003-2004 It's baaaack! :-)
The title explains it all.
Nominate your favorite stories from a variety of
categories. |
Sekihara.Dreamhost.com Sekihara Tae's famed fan fiction site, The
Akabeko, is one of the oldest and more revered of RK fan sites. Great
stories abound. This site is also the former home of the RKRC
Awards. |
Kenshin and
Kaoru Fan Fiction An archive run by Gypsy-chan for those who can't
get enough of K&K fics. A lot of really nice fics here. |
Shades of
Revolution Great fan fics by fujifunmum and a fan art
gallery. |
FanFiction.net: Rurouni Kenshin section A huge collection of RK
fan fiction. Annoying pop-up ads abound unless you register or disable
them in your browser. |
Nosebleeds A lemon/hentai RK fan fic archive for those of you who
want something a little more naughty than what I offer on my
site. |
|
General Writing Guides |
The Sword and the
Chrysanthemum A great resource for researching Meiji era
historical figures. Fic writers for RK and other Meiji-era series may
find this site quite useful. |
Strunk & White: Elements of
Style This classic book by Strunk and White is a short and sweet
guide to proper grammar and style. In my humble opinion, it's a must-read
for all aspiring writers. And hey, it's available free on-line. Yay for
us! |
Dr.
Merlin's Guide to Fan Fiction An informative (and quite funny)
guide to writing fan fiction. Includes a list of links at the end that
may be very helpful for fan fic writers. These include links to Yahoo
discussion groups designed to help writers with medical, military,
history, etc. questions. |
Copyright
101 at Whoosh.org This site is more for Xena fan fics, but the
legal section is helpful for any fan fiction writer. |
|
RK FAN ART |
Reverse Blade How freakin' cool. This site hosts Battousai High,
an online doujinshi with gorgeously smooth artwork by Marissa Rawlings.
Must see. |
Tasty Graphite Beautiful RK (and other anime
series) fan art and hilarious RK parody pics. |
Lorelai.com Beautiful artwork from multiple anime series done in
multiple styles. Sheer heaven to browse through. |
|
RK Manga Translations & Downloads |
Most of the old sites that used to host manga scans
are now down, obviously due to Viz's purchasing of the rights and
publishing them in the U.S. A few scan sites remain, but these host
stories like the Kenshin Kaden, not the main arcs. |
maigo-
chan's Ruroken Translations Best manga translation that I've seen
on-line. Translations cover the entire manga series. Great resource for
fan fic writers. And yup, it's still on-line. |
Meiji Productions: Jinchuu Radio Play The Jinchuu arc done as a
radio play. Definitely something different, and definitely worth checking
out! |
The-orO.com Excellent
quality color scans of the Kenshin Kaden. And it's still on-line as of
today's update, yay! I was beginning to sound like a broken record
there.... |
Mibu no Ookami:
Kenshin Kaden I have the Mibu no Ookami site already listed under
the character site section here, but I'm listing it again because of the
downloadable Kenshin Kaden scan on this page. And this one's still up
too, woohoo! |
|
RK Forums, Message Boards, & RPGs |
Heart of a
Sword One of the larger RK forums I've seen, this one is hosted
jointly by several very popular RK sites. |
himura_gumi A Rurouni Kenshin role playing game (at LiveJournal.com). A new community to support the veteran and newbie fans to the entire "Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X" saga ^_^x |

Conspirator Update Society Make Conspirator update her stories

Rurouni

of the mods and members are contributors at this site. |
Shinsengumi Headquarters Messageboard The name pretty much says it
all, doesn' it? Focused on the Shinsengumi from RK and beyond. A broad
range of topics. |
|
RK Multimedia |
rurouni music ::: your rk
mp3 horde The title's pretty self-explanatory. Tons of RK music
to stream or download. |
AnimeWallpapers.com Plenty of great RK and other series
wallpapers. Better disable pop-ups though, you'll get showered with a ton
of them. |
|
RK Miscellany |
Release
of the Jinchuu Arc Petition An on-line petition by fans for the
animation of the Jinchuu arc. |
The

scary. |
Animetro: Rurouni Kenshin Links Another huge RK links list.
|
Kyoto Hellfire

sites. |

Anime Stores & Reviews |

mind some grammatical mistakes in the subtitles. |

store. They hold monthly contests for cool stuff. I've linked
specifically to their RK page. They also host FanimeNation, a site devoted
to fan works. |

|
|
General Anime |
adauchi[DOT]net A domain which includes Project Anime, a directory
of sorts with links to all kinds of anime sites. Clean and pretty layout.
Easy to navigate. |
The Anime Cafe A
huge general anime site. I especially liked the parent's guide to anime.
I don't have any kids, but several of my friends do, and I think the guide
would be quite helpful to poor parents who are clueless as to what their
kids are watching. |
AnimeOnline.net Large interactive site where folks can post their
fan works and chat. |
AnimeSpy.com Huge anime
directory. I actually like this one a little better than Anime Web
Turnpike now that the Turnpike has changed its format. This is less
cluttered in appearance. |
Anime Web Turnpike They've
recently revamped their entire site layout. I have mixed feelings about
this new version..... |
A r c t i c N i g h t f a l l . c o m Just a
beautifully designed anime site in general. Has an RK section, of course,
along with several other cool series/movies. |
Elbereth's Fantasy World I visited this site based
on wombat's author's note recommendation. Highly informative. Tons of
different anime titles. The Rurouni Kenshin OAV 1 Symbols page is filled
with fascinating information. |
The
Factory Ranma 1/2, Rurouni Kenshin, Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve
directory with winamp skins, wallpapers, and more. |
J-fan.com Japanese entertainment
directory with anime and manga listings among other things. |
The Spectrum
Lab I'm not sure how to describe this site. It's got...well, a
bit of everything. Cool layout. Easy to navigate. And plenty of
downloadable stuff. |
Yatta! A very cool general anime magazine. Several
anime titles are featured. |
