Summary: Unpleasant Come Back
Review: Early 17th Century Japan was a particularly grim period. It is marked by the rise of the Tokugawa Shogunate, several abortive efforts to open Japan up to the world and a bloody rebellion by the small Christian minority that led to the exclusion of foreigners from Japan for over 200 years. The Christian rebellion and its suppression at Shimbara was a struggle with few heroes and all too many villains on both sides. 'Ninja Resurrection' tells a part of the story of those events, combining both history and legend in its telling.Jubei Yagyu, a historical figure, was sword instructor to the Tokugowa regime, as well as in regular use as a spy and assassin. Therefore, it is no surprise that Jubei was sent to invade the Christian stronghold at Shimbara to weaken the fortification and, if possible, assassinate the leaders of the rebellion. Tokisada Shiro Amakusa, whose followers thought he was the new Christ, was killed, and the rebellion collapsed. The result was a massacre - 37,000 Christians dead at the cost of less than 2,000 samurai. The prophecy that declared Shiro to be the returned Christ also -redicts that, if frustrated, he will return as Satan. The first part of this DVD tells about Shimbara, and sets the scene for the second part, the incarnation of Satan. Here we have a little pastiche about Yagyu clan home life followed by a demonic sex scene and the rebirth from a woman's corpse of the slain Shiro. Somehow, Shiro's reanimation includes the return of 4 of Japan's most legendary swordmen as demons. And now comes this DVD's greatest flaw. There is no resolution or conclusion, just an abrupt end. Nor is there any sign of an anime follow up, although there have been several other films (not anime) that deal with Jubei's further adventures. Being left cold at a point that feels like the middle of the plot definite has a chilling effect on one's enjoyment. This is a shame, because the artwork and acting in these two episodes really is excellent, and a continuation would certainly have been successful. Beware, the film contains some very adult scenes and an amazing amount of bloody violence.

Summary: Worst movie EVER!
Review: This movie is a piece of junk. The Animation is poor (almost as bad as he animation from the originial Vampire Hunter D), the voice acting was horrible, and the plot... well, there was no plot. It was 80 min of pure [stuff]. I had to give this movie 1 star because there is no option for no stars. As a matter of fact, this movie owes me a star.

Summary: Victim of Impulse Buying
Review: ... Here is my review. Please this is only my opinion so read others before making a final decision. Animation - The animation is okay I guess. I'm not an aficianado of Anime, so I cant really judge. I'd say its slightly better than a Saturday morning cartoon. Plot - There are too many holes in Ninja Resurrection to actually call it a story. Its more like a couple of action sequences tied together by an overall plot. A plot that ends in a cliffhanger! Jubei doesn't save the girl, doesnt win the day, all is not right in the world. Just as things get ugly, END of DVD. This is where I feel cheated. I can handle a bad movie, but this is unfinished, and I think thats total crap. Nothing is resolved at the end of this DVD. Characters - Jubei seems pretty cool, though he hardly fights anyone other than a bunch of 'red shirts'. But lets face it, you can hardly call those fights. Typical sequence, Jubei gets jumped by 15 'red shirt' ninja's, he flashes his sword in a wide arc, 15 ninja's are dead. The main fight in this DVD actually is in the beginning and it is very comical. I wont go into details, but it is sad. There are other charcters that get introduced, only to vanish 5 minutes later, never to be heard from again. Jubei's Ninja friends in the beginning are a pretty interesting bunch, but you never hear from them after the said above main fight. It happens again later on when you are introduced to two female fighters. They are there, then gone 5 minutes later. Flip to the back of the DVD box and you will see Jubei flanked by two women and a bunch of Ninjas. Those are the two above mentioned women, and nowhere in the DVD you will find this scene. In fact the two women's only fight occurs during a sparring match where both used wooden practice weapons, not what you see on the back of the box. I will end this by saying that they did a good job on the DVD box. It looks nice and has a nice description, but it is misleading. Rent this before you buy it.

Summary: Rent it First!!
Review: When i bought this, i thought it was the sequel to Ninja Scroll. As is said in all of the other reviews, it is not. The plot to this movie dosn't make a whole lot of sence, and is a bit complicated for the length of each piece. The only real redeeming factor about it is the great action, and the gore. Rent it first, and if you like it buy it, but its probably not worth the cash.

Summary: What was this
Review: While I am into the gore and animation, this had NOTHING to do with Ninja Scroll and it would be an insult to consider them related. Yes, the centrl character is Jubei, but it isn't even the same one. I would NOT reccomend a purchase but rather checking out blockbuster or downloading it off of the internet. It wasn't realy worthy of the $[dollar amount] asked for the DVD.

Summary: It's good if you got everything else
Review: if you've got alot of anime already and you like ninjas enough to want some nice gory ninja action i'de deffinetly reccomend this one to you. if your not into slaughter and ninjas rent it, no matter what its an ok anime. Check out Wrath of the ninja and Ninja scroll(ninja scoll is not a prequel to ninja resurrection) first though.

Summary: They were wrong...
Review: This is the kind of anime you throw in and impress your friends who believe anime too "fruity." Too much gore? Who are you people? It was wonderfully vicious! The hardcore action is some of the most intense I've seen in OAVs. Great entertainment.Only thing that holds this one back is its not finished. It ends at a great sequence where the supernatural antagonists are slaughtering hundreds of innocents in different stylish ways. Here's hoping for episode 3!

Summary: SO glad I only RENTED it
Review: I am really realieved I did not buy this movie (thank goodness for Blockbuster). No one should ever buy this movie. As a matter of fact, anyone who already owns it should burn it. ok enough of that.
The problem with this show is that it's just so corny, and when it's not lame, it's violent to the point of making you sick. It starts off with (aw gee, I saw this awhile ago and I'm starting to forget) something with Christians in Japan being assinated for their beliefs, at least that much is historically accurate
(terrible isn't it). So anyway the main guy comes up and, does some lame-o miracle thing and holds up a cross. Then a spot light shines on him (yes literally a spot light) and everyone "oooohs and ahhhhhs" and there's angelic music singing "AHHHHHHHHHHH" or something. I mean how cheesy is that. Hmmmmm then there was this part with these two kids later on. They were made as innocent and pathetic looking as possible. They go up to the main guy and are like " ah gee mister, u're our hero." main guy gives a herculean laugh, "but of course, I am the best. All young children should look up to me." "oh goly wash buckets sir, we're so hungry." main charcter once again laughs "well don't worry little suzi and tiny tim (I don't remember their names), I'll make you a something to eat myself." the children respond "WOWY, honest for truly? that's awfully kind of you sir, you're the best." giggle giggle "hahahah I know" Or such was my interpretation of it. It was pretty darn corny. Yes and then of course the big bad evil men come later and tauntingly show the main character the severed heads of those "darling kids" causing him to freak out and become a demon or something. I dunno, it was dumb. I must also add that I love anything anime involving swords, ninja's, samurai, or demons and gory action (my friends think I'm demented). I think they are absolutely awesome. Amazing how something with all these elements could be so bad. Like I said this show was beyond my level of bloodlust. Above and beyond and to the next city. I mean people's FACES were getting sliced off and thrown against a wall. That's just sick.
