Summary: I Can't Beleive I Paid For This
Review: I hate to be the one to have to let you know,but this anime is garbage.I don't review(this being my 1rst)but I had to let you know.I'm not sure I can even describe this appalling attempt at anime.Artwork was trash,dialog was trash,story line(had there been one)was trash.Rated 13andUp I sat down to watch this with my daughter thinking it would be a cute anime and a good chance to further her interest in martial arts. To my horror the entire anime revolved around Jubei-Chan's breasts and every male in the show's obsession with them.Including her father! Her father is even so moved that he decides to strip Jubei,and himself,and lay on top of her repeatedly"because she had a fever". Though young boy's interest might be peaked,sorry no fanservice.Just poor camera shots of poorly drawn characters.In closing,sorry for ranting,the fight scenes were a plus. But most are less then 1-3 seconds and far from making this a worthwhile experience. If you have to see for yourself, then I advise at least skip the first disc,maybe 2. The story did start to come around just a little before the end.

Summary: Stupid but not horrible but pretty bad.
Review: This is one of those slapstick try to be funny but is far from it anime series. The series is missing a plot and the characters are not interesting. The only thing worth watching is the fight scenes witch are pretty well done. The artwork is purposly bad at times and the character talk to the camera and complain about how badly they are being drawn. Its just really stupid, and I cant see how any one could find humor in it.

Summary: However, the DUBB gets a 2.5
Review: This series is ABSOLUTELY HILLARIOUS (only in Japanese with English subtitles) If you think Excel Saga is funny, this is almost that funny.
The Dubb is atrocious. Watch an episode in English & Japanese & tell me that the English voice actors don't completely suck & KILL THE HUMOR. The following voices suck in English; Mr. Nanohana, Bantaro, Ozaru, Kozaru, Shiro's is okey, Jiyu's is ill-fitting, Lord Jubei doesn't sound old enough, Ryuujouji's is actually a vast improovement, & KOINOSUKE'S IS UNFORGIVABLY BAD!
So please buy the DVD so you can save your ears from screaching voices & bad acting & watch it in Japanese so you can appriciate the full amount of humor the series was intended to have.

Summary: Great Anime at a bargain!
Review: Well, I bought this boxset for a few reasons:-Many anime reviews have rated this as one of the best 13-episode anime series out there -I like lighthearted action anime -THE PRICE! the entire thing (which was 4 separate DVDs) is only ($$$), this was a great bargain! Also, The anime itself is great! Unlike many anime DVDs, Jubei Chan is packed with many bonus material and easter eggs. The case can hold 4 DVDs, and it's a big plus with me since I don't like to handle many DVD sleeves like many other anime packages require me to. As for the story and the content of the anime itself, it is great! The subs are right on par, and the dubs is actually bearable! Since the anime is made by the renowned Yoshimatsu who created possibly the darkest anime of all time (Now and Then, Here and There), it sorta took me by surprise that he actually made a lighthearted Ninja anime! As for animation quality, Madhouse did the honors, and the quality shows since Madhouse is one of the front runners in the anime industry quality-wise! I don't want to spoil anything, but Jubei Chan has a lot of very cool action scenes, some dramatic moments and many cute, fun comedy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! And not just for its rock bottom price!

Summary: Great Anime at a bargain!
Review: Yagyu Jube Mitsuyoshi (1607-1650) was a swordsman with a reputation as a swashbuckler and also a man of mystery. There are many legends and tales surrounding this man, a man who disappeared for 12 years, which only added to the fires of rumor. Many believe that during this time, after being dismissed from the Shogun's service, that he in fact continued to work as an agent. The Yagyu was a family known for their swordsman they produced and Jube was the last of the line (and many feel the best). The best known story of his adventures was his duel with dummy swords (which was later used in 'The Seven Samurai').
The DVDs take this story and add to it. They continue the tale, saying that Jube left behind an eyepatch that held all his skills and that Koinosuke, his loyal retainer, must find the right person to give it to. The poor guy ends up searching 300 years before finding Jiyu Nanohama, nicknamed Jubei, and giving it to her.
And then the story gets weird!
Great story, the artwork can be very good AND silly. Extras and Easter Eggs in each DVD and you can feel the enjoyment that went into making the set. Not as many laughs as some and sometimes it tried to be serious (which only worked once and a while- they just did too good a job with the humor and silliness for the serious stuff to stick). Feels kind of thin, as most background characters, settings and details are simple - the plot is all and nothing will get in its way.
Oh, and lots of sword fighting! Magic, some focus on female chests and love letters.
I would suggest getting it used if you can. Some parts are fine for kids, yet some parts have inside jokes and mature issues only an adult would understand. Why is it so many moms die before the story even starts in some of the anime I have? Tenchi Muyo, Strawberry Eggs, and now this one!
