Summary: There must be a better reason why people hate this....
Review: Not to say that this anime is a masterpiece. Absolutely not. In fact, this anime is far from the definition of "masterpiece." But, it's better than most animes of this genre that I've seen. The characters are not spectacular, and show very little development. Jubei is pretty cool, but is shown vaguely in both episodes of the OVA. Shiro Amakusa, the so called, "New Christ," is shown more often than Jubei, and has a horribly disturbing death. He dies pleasuring a woman. Musashi Miyamoto seems to be a rival of Jubei's who lives in the mountains and draws pictures, but other than that you don't know too much about him. The animation in this DVD is very sub-par. In the first episode, much of it is static and many of the people have absolutely no eyes. But the artwork and animation details near the end prove this anime has something going for it. The second episode has much better animation and dynamic camera angles with alot more character development and an emphasis on the evil guys. It's almost hard to believe that the second episode is even in relation to the first in terms of animation. There are several perverted aspects of this movie, such as the "doing the dirty thing in the church" scene and "making the girl go *pop*" scene. But, scenes like this (ok, only one scene) were in Ninja Scroll also, and that is poked at less than this for being perverted. Plus, if you're mature enough you can look past the aspects of those scenes and learn to like the action and characters in the series. If they ever start making the third episode, expect alot from it. After the first two episodes, the series can't really get any worse. The main reason people hate this series was the advertising of the sequel to Ninja Scroll, which now has been taken off of the boxes. So why are you people still complaining about this anime in relation to Ninja Scroll? You should appreciate this anime for what it is.

Summary: Why do you buy a DVD, anyway?
Review: I agree with my friend "Bryant A S Trew" 100 percent. Why do you buy a DVD? 'Cause it is a film that you'd take pleasure in watching over and over and taking pleasure in it. AND a DVD must be a full film, isn't it. Yea, unfortunately, this film is not even a full cinema. IT is "...to be continued"! With an artistic vision, this film is well drawn. However, this is not a slide show. I also have Ninja Scroll, and while buying this I thought this was the second part. But no, don't be fooled. This Jubei is Jubei Yagyu from Samurai Spirits. Sounds good, but don't be fooled with that either. 'Cause... Um well I already said it that film is bad. It is too short too. 70 min. While others are more than 140... What I suggest is don't throw away your money or you'r gonna throw away this film.

Summary: Not the Ninja Scroll Sequel
Review: I work in an anime rental shop so i get this all the time. Everyone and their mom loves "Ninja Scroll" but nobody, and i mean nobody likes this one. Here is why: everbody starts this movie up expecting N. Scroll pt2...when it is NOT the same artist, author, or creator of ninja scroll. The only two things that mislead are 1.ninja in the title 2.the main character has the same first name. I am telling you now, THIS IS NOT NINJA SCROLL 2! If you are like me and you just want more samurai action with a cleaner art style than ninja scroll, then this is for you. The story hits a cool aspect of christianity in japanese culture and its abolishment and what it leads to. Definately just as gory, fast paced, and samurai as ninja scroll, but in my eyes...better than.

Summary: If you Loved Ninja Scrolls, you will regret this purchase
Review: Ninja Scrolls had mature artwork, dynamic action, developed characters and a deep story. The violence in Ninja Scrolls was inherent to the story. Ninja Resurrection has that childish, low detail artwork. The story is VERY weak. The characters have little development (you barely see Jubei in the second episode). The ULTRA, ULTRA violence belongs in something like Legend of the Overfiend - a repugnant anime of sick and twisted proportions. Contrary to popular belief, this show is not for adults. It for violence loving perverts. I just received this DVD, just finished watching it, and just finished dumping it into my garbage bag. What a disappointment.

Review: The animation was very good. But the story was hard to follow. But when the fighting scenes started to get me into it, the movie just stoped and said "to be continued" it is only 45 minutes long. I don't reccomned this video unless you get all of them.

Summary: eh...i like it more than most ppl do
Review: i guess i didn't expect a ninja scroll sequel, so i wasn't let down by this. its really bad in some respects. its two episodes of an OVA series that never went anywhere really. the music is great, the animation is some of the best i've seen, the actions scenes are stylish. this is jubei YAGYU the historical figure not ninja scroll's jubei kibagami. they develop characters only to have them die off immediately in the most bloody way. i could rag on it all day, but the sound and animation are good enough to warrant a watch. if you're expecting a sequel to ninja scroll you'll be sorely disappointed.

Summary: A good anime, but not as good as the original
Review: More of a teaser than a stand alone movie, Ninja Resurrection follows up on the exploits of Jubei, the main character from Ninja Scroll. This is the first part of a larger story and leaves you with a "...To be continued" at the end which was rather unsatisfying. Perhaps if they had played the story to it's conclusion it would have earned that 5th star, but Ninja Scroll fans should still enjoy it. The story revolves around the Shogun's attempt to eradicate Christianity in Japan in the 1600's. Jubei returns as a warrior sent to stop the rising of a man proclaiming himself the Son of God. Unknowingly Jubei may unleash a greater evil on the world. But, alas it appears we have to wait for the next movie in this series to see if the Prophecy is fulfilled. The action is fast paced and the story moves well, the only drawback being the short running time and the feeling of "You mean that's all there is?!?" Still well worth the time spent.

Summary: Revenge of Jubei my ***
Review: I remember when this title was first released by ADV. It contained the subtitle, 'The Revenge of Jubei'. ADV essentially hyped this up as a sequal to Ninja Scroll, sending fanboys out in droves to pick this up without noticing that the only thing this has in common with Ninja Scroll is the fact that they both contain a character named Jubei. Ninja Scroll has Jubei Kibagami while Ninja Resurrection has Jubei Yagyu, a literary character used throughout Japanese folklore. If we are to assume everything with the character Jubei Yagyu in it is a continuation of Ninja Scroll, then I guess it safe to assume that even the video game, Onimusha 2 is a sequal to Ninja Scroll (OMG I better run out and get it). It was so irratating listening to fanboys talk trash about this OAV collection when it came out. "This is nowhere near as cool as Ninja Scroll." or, "Ninja Resurrection doesn't faithfully represent the character we saw in Ninja Scroll." Even Anime publications reviewing the film were falling for ADV's ruse by constantly refering to this as a sequal. I don't blame the fans or anyone else other than those responsible. ADV Films. I don't know for sure, but a hunch tells me that the original title of this OAV series isn't even Ninja Resurrection. It sounds way too domestic and it played right into ADV's plan to release this as a continuation to Ninja Scroll. Looking at the OAVs themselves, it really isn't that bad. Yeah, the story is mostly pretty lame and doesn't really go anywhere, but I have a hard time giving a bad review to an anime that has non-stop ninja destruction. Look at this as sort of a guilty pleasure. As a interesting historical side note: This battle in this story was based on an actual event in Japan's history. Severly outnumbered and losing soldiers constantly, the Tokugawa Shogunate sent in TEN ninja as a last resort in hopes of aiding the samurai against the Christian rebels (ninja were usually used as a last resort in battle only in the most desparate situations). This team of ten ninja actually flew into the middle of the battle by use of hang gliders. The result was a massacre. Those ten men turned the tide into the Shogunate's favor and essentially won the battle.
