The following is a list of media releases in the Rurouni Kenshin franchise.
The first anime of Rurouni Kenshin in 1996 since its premiere in Japan, have merchandised its episodes into collectable in DVDs various times: two DVDs series with both of them featuring four episodes per volume and three DVD boxes. 26 collected DVD volumes were released in Japan.
Sony Pictures Television International (then under the name Columbia Pictures Television later moved to Columbia TriStar Television) created their own English dub of the series, under the name Samurai X, which aired outside North America. In 1999, Sony had tried and failed to market the series in the United States via an existing company. The TV series was again licensed for North America by Media Blasters, who split it up into "seasons", and released on DVD.
The dub aired in the US on Cartoon Network as a part of the Toonami Block on March 17, 2003, but ended at the completion of the "second season" (episode 62). Due to the heavy editing that removes some of the show's depictions of obscene language, intense violence, and such, Episodes 63–95 did not air, but were included in the DVD release. The "seasons" were released in three premium "Bento box" DVD boxes on November 18, 2003, March 30, 2004, and July 27, 2004. They were re-released as "economy box" sets on November 15, 2005, January 17, 2006, and February 14, 2006. All three seasons, with both the original Japanese audio and the Media Blasters dub (Bang Zoom! Entertainment), were streamed on Netflix.
