By the time the second arc had ended, the Kyoto arc, the anime had caught up to the manga. The only reason I advise you to avoid the episodes 63-95 is that they are pointless fillers. All of Kenshin's rivals also have unique personalities and Nobuhiro Watsuki has done an excellent job with them. Though its hinted at very slightly during the first two seasons, there is not much between them. The only qualm people may have is the lack of romance between Kenshin and Kaoru.

This is especially the case during the second season as Iwasaki unveils a multitude of amazing pieces of music that you will undoubtedly look to download. Taku Iwasaki has done a beautiful job with the soundtrack to Rurouni Kenshin as during each and every part, there is the perfect song that fits the scene.
