I've seen the first eight episodes Ruroni Kenshin and it's pretty good at what it's trying to be, which is an anime about samurais and similar people who do increasingly over-the-top stuff that's not very historical. It's good fun, but it doesn't really give you an accurate picture of how samurais really were. For that you can check out just about any Akira Kurosawa movies, most of those feature samurais heavily and are very good movies.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
