Summary: Completely Remastered, sort of...
Review: One of the coolest movies of all time has been remastered! An anime in DTS? Yea, there are few of them now-a-days. This anime has some of the best voices for Japanese AND English.Basically we get to see Jubei fight the devils of Kimone. The movie has alot of gore, and alot of innovative monsters. Basically it isn't all hack and slash. The story is about a village wiped out by a plague. In order to investigate the plague, and wandering monk like dude hires Jubei to help him fight the devils. They run into a ninja girl who has a very special secret. The movie's DTS is awesome! The picture looks more crisp, and the widescreen aspect only adds to it! I would reccomend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it. If you have Ninja Scroll already but are not crazy about it, pass this one up. Actually though, I have to correct my review. I have noticed slight differences. The full screen and widescreen version are on the same dvd, but the fullscreen gets pixely at times(very few). I would just buy the original movie unless you really like Ninja Scroll. The Widescreen isn't even real widescreen, it is 2 black bars. Both versions have their flaws. I prefer the newer looking image of widescreen. Still, the fullscreen gives you more movie. Take my advice and only buy this if you are a true ninja scroll fan. Still, the sound is awesome, and the special eddition of a movie has to mean something doesn't it? You never hear of them making the special eddition of crappy movies. Again, true ninja scroll fans are a plus for this, others should just check out the original dvd at the store, which is probably MUCH cheaper now.

Summary: A movie that succeeds on most levels and falls on others.
Review: Where the stiff and boring "Demon City Shinjuku" failed, "Ninja Scroll" succeeds. A budding and fitting example of mature anime, "Ninja Scroll" is the kind of movie you should watch without too many expectations. For the most part, "Ninja Scroll" manages to get many factors right. The animation is some of best I've ever seen in an anime movie, and the characters, while not perfect, are interesting and likeable. The story, thankfully, isn't another version of a "lonely warrior, along with a beautiful woman he's going to lay sometime in the movie, must save the world from a powerful evil before it's too late." Instead, it plays out more like an "X-Files" episode, where the plot changes unexpectedly from time to time, although the plot twists won't surprise everyone. The amount of action is also satisfying, albeit extremely gory, and several of the evil characters are some of the coolest villians to appear in anime (although many of them are only seen for about five minutes). But "Ninja Scroll" does fall short in a few areas. To up the mature rating, several sex scenes are scattered throughout the movie, all are gratuitious, and one in particular is completely unnecessary. Also, the plot, while not stereotypical, does have some pacing and execution problems, and the ending of the movie wasn't particularly satisfying, nor did it make any sense. All in all, "Ninja Scroll" as a whole is a movie that is questionable but ultimately satisfying. It is a very mature work of anime, but probably not as mature as "Wicked City" and "Legend of the Overfiend". I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone under 18 or to anyone who hates extreme violence or extreme sexual situations.

Summary: anime perfection
Review: Hey guys. The best anime film I've seen, EVER. To start, this has the coolest villian you couldn't ever imagine. He was not the main villian in the movie but, a character like Tessai is what every good anime creator should base their main villian on. He is the ideal badass. Though he is my favorite character in the movie, I feel that there was one other person that did not get the credit that he deserved. I think the best fighter in the feature is the Blind Swordsman in white who issues a challenge to Jubei. It has been a while since I've seen the film so I can't remember the guy's name. I feel that had it not been for the girl ninja, Kigaro, he would still be alive today. Anyone who has seen the film can't deny these facts. In every perspective that I've viewed it, the film is artistically excellent and beautifully written. 11 out of 10 stars, esily. If you havn't seen this movie, it should not be ignored and should be an item on every collectors list. If anyone else feels me on this, holla back!

Summary: Excellent Anime Action!!
Review: In this epic anime we follow the lone ninja Jubei as he tries to destroy the leader of an evil ninja group. The martial arts animation is incredible, the battles are spectacular. This film includess many classic anime themes... martial arts, demons, outrageous powers... and it remains fun throughout. It does get graphic at times (lots of killing, some nudity, sexual situations), so this is not at all for kids. But for the mature anime fan this is a must see!!! The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the compression of the DVD. At times, you could easily see the gradients breaking up into separate colors, almost like stripes. It doesn't really take much away from the movie, but it was there nonetheless. Overall, this DVD is definitly worth seeing.

Summary: Anime at its sharpest
Review: Few can argue that Ninja Scroll is one of the best anime films to come out of Japan. A lot of people have hyped it up as a masterpiece of epic proportions. Unfortunately, hype is a double edged sword that can either make or break a film's(i.e. Ghost in the Shell) mystique and charm to begin with. On the other hand, only an elite few can fit the mold and live up to the expectations. In my opinion, Jubei and his pals have accomplished just that. Ninja Scroll offers what have led millions to join the anime craze to begin with. Action, over the top yet realistic characters, a subtle plot, and a gorefest of monsters and men run rampant in this samurai/ninja flick. The fight scenes and background are top-notch that ooze drama every second. The characters are charming (although somewhat underdeveloped and badly dubbed) and interesting enough to give each a specific amount of attention. So with all these compliments, why not give it a perfect score? Well, it may have lived up to it's hype as an artistic action film piece, but it's a little low on the depth department. It's standard anime style story leaves a little more to be desired. But with a good enough plot, cool enough characters, and tough enough action, Ninja Scroll ends up being a winner in what it was meant to be. An eye catching...stunning...and fun-filled adventure for the wannabe ninjas all over the world.

Summary: Essential Viewing (just be prepared for the R-rating)
Review: The first time I saw this... it was an acquisition of my older sister who got it on special (and not from Amazon). There were some pros and cons of watching the movie when about thirteen, the main reason being partly a result of not having noticed that the movie was R-rated and that it also had sexual references. But, happy-go-youngster that I was then, I still plodded on with it (open-eyed and quickly shushing the machine through the first half-hour - well, it's not exactly something you want to watch with your parents, is it.). However, after a few years of loving Neon Genesis Evangelion and then returning to Tolkien mania with fanfiction, Harry Potter with the release of Book 5, and a generous gift of the Gundam Wing Series from said same sister, I decided to come back to Ninja Scroll. And whoa! It was beyond great! The plot is balanced so nicely with just enough character development to satisfy your cravings whilst also supplying violence in the amount to be perhaps gruesome, but quite necessary to both balance the tension in the plot and also keep me convinced of the storyline (well, they are devils that Jubei's fighting). The characters were all wonderful in that they managed to blend so well to support the plot. My only qualm was that Jubei always seemed to reach near death with coughing up blood and everything, and yet he still managed to get up and walk or climb away from the deathscenes with grace. Maybe the script writer noticed this too, because in Ninja Scroll: The Series (Vol. 1), they showed him bandaging himself up. Highly recommended, even for those people who don't like violence or rape scenes. Ninja Scroll needn't be just about violence, nor just about the characters. It's a movie that both groups can enjoy. The graphics are believable (Kagero's assault is believably drawn). And as for the bishounen yaoi fans? Well - choose it! Yurimaru is a bit arrogant, but he's full of angst and of course is also quite beautiful (and hilariously huffy)!

Summary: Decidely My Favorite Film
Review: As far as relatively empty, popcorn action anime is concerned, you always leave the theater (or your living room) rather disappointed. Yes, there's huge robots, or ninjas, or whatnot, but unless you are a (big) fan of the genre, not every anime movie is really that watchable. Enter Ninja Scroll. While sidestepping the usual tenets of anime that every film must have robots or cute schoolgirls, it still deals with something fairly Japanase: the Ninja. And while I'm sure profound dramas exits about how difficult it is to lead the life of a ninja and what not, 'Ninja Scroll' is not one of these movies. Playing out like a video game, 'Ninja Scroll' establishes its introduction (let's call them 'cut scenes') and within a few minutes brings you into the storyline, which goes like this: Jubei, our hero and protagonist, must fight a menagerie of bad guys, all with cool powers. One has a weapon that splits opponents in half, another houses a beehive in his back, yet another can transport himself through shadows. Sounds cool, eh? The animation and pacing live up to their name... Ninja Scroll has the possibility of ruining all other anime for you... Granted, it's not as extensive as 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' (apparently the apex of anime) or 'Perfect Blue' (another good film from this year), but it is damn good nonetheless and a fine first DVD for anyone interested in the genre. For kids? There's plenty of gore and blood, and a heap of oversexual content (including a rape scene)... Wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 13 or younger.

Summary: Mehh....
Review: I don't want to piss the NS fans out there but I don't see how good this is? I mean I have to agree with one reviewer, this is one of the coolest animes but I didn't think it was a masterpiece.
The story was alright but not big!
The animation was great but not excellent.
The action was great.
Over all it was an alright Ninja flick. Though I think this film is a little overhyped. Also I have a problem of people saying "OH THERES A RAPE SCENE! OH!
Gimmi a freaking break its not like you see what going on! Even though you have the sence of whats going on it's still stupid how people make a big deal that you see like a 2 minute rape scene which you barley see anything but a nipple shot. Jeez. Now I must say the violence is over the top. Especially when one guy gets both his arms ripped right off. EEWWWW thats gotta hurt. Over all I thought this was an alright flick I guess.
Check it out for yourself and give your opinion on it.

Summary: This is alot better than Princess Mononoke!!
Review: I have only seen this anime twice but its alot better than most martial arts anime. This was alot better than Princess Mononoke or Rurouni Kenshin. I love how Yoshiaki Kawajiri combines raunchy anime sex with strong bloodshed and monsters with evil political ambitions. I loved the fighting scenes, Kagero's ability to kill anyone by getting them laid, and Jubei's determination to kill his arch enemy Gemma. The Eight Devil of Kimon are rather creepy and insane. Hayao Miyazaki couldn't have thought of this!! This is the best martial arts anime and should be watched by every anime geek, this is alot better than Princess Mononoke, believe me. Watch it, you won't be sorry!!
