Summary: This is an Excellent, a Classic
Review: Jubei is a true hero in the classic term. He is dashing and charming and witty and too bad he is an anime! A lovely, strong heroine, and several really nasty guys round out this wonderful story line. The animation is great and so is the dubbing. One of the first animes I ever watched, and one that helped claim me as a fan. Not exactly what you would want to watch in front of your kids as there a few sexual situations and a bit of nudity and gore. Overall this is a near perfect film and I kept forgetting that it was animated. You feel like everyone in it is real. A must-see, especially for someoen who is not yet an anime fan. This one will suck ya in!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fine work of Anime.
Review: A Very Fun and never Boring Anime fantasy Actioner features a
Ninja named " Juebi" that has to battle these evil Demons who plan on making a plot that would kill the Government. It's got neat artwork, lots of Gore to make you Blood Drinkers thirsty,
and plus it's got a lovely but poisonious Lady that would make you go " Woo Woo".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TRUE ADULT ANIME, THE JAPANESE WAY!!
Review: Japanese culture is weird if their cultural orientation is beared in mind: how on earth can such animation come out from such a sublime culture!?

Well, if you are after some really cult-smelling, seriously plotted and tough film, get this!

1-Gore is amazing, if you regard it as a necessary ritualistic part for making a film deadly serious, then Ninja Scroll is a must buy (I felt as if I waswatching some underground movies, though I never did...8mm sort of thing I mean)

2-Music is really supporting the darkness of the frames...

3-It is really a great excitement to discover the special moves of specially designed characters...fantastic!

4-Lovely fighting chareographies have been arranged, think of Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon..

5-I wish, they had some time to use the Disney's Shading techniques so that characters were more like 3d designs, they are more like 2d designs (say, the shirt of a character is blue, and the dark part of it is dark blue, there is no smoothin effect used, no garaud shading I mean)...no problem, I am obsessed with this, so you may skip this assessment!

Summary: Ninja Scroll (4.4 stars)
Review: Every once in a while I find myself drawn to a film, that for some odd reason, I like! "Ninja Scroll" is a prime example. When it comes to Anime, I'm almost as critical as film itself. I look for a good story, good animation, good directing, good dialogue, and even good violence! Such films as "Perfect Blue" and "Ghost in the Shell" blend all of these things together and form classic Anime. However "Ninja Scroll" neatly fits in with these films, but may not have all the attributes I prefer. The film has unbelievable action sequences, but for the most part that's it. Yet I'm drawn to this film, as if it had a good, detailed story, and good dialogue. The animation is top of the line, and the films runs smooth. The story is viable, but the main character, Jubei, is relentless when it comes to his foes, not including his just a plain bad (...)! The film contains explicit sexual situations, which I could do without, but it doesn't take anything away from the film itself. Overall "Ninja Scroll" may not have had the makings for a classic Anime film when it started production, but the finished product is the "Die Hard" of Anime films. Just good old (...) kicking entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ninja Scroll
Review: When I first saw Ninja Scroll, it was on digital cable. The animation was actually pretty good for its time. Anyways, this Manga is about a guy named Jubei. He meets this girl(whose name I forgot) and they team up.
She is a ninja whose body is poisoned, therefore she can't have any sexual contact without killing somebody. Jubei is a ninja who appears to be a very excellent and determined fighter. Together, it seems like NOTHING can stop them.
I would not reccomend this movie for anyone under 13, due to sex and violence. If you can get past that, this is a really excellent Manga. My favorite things about it were the characters, the plotline, and the animation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the better ones
Review: Though a few years old, NINJA SCROLL still stands up as one of the better anime imports. A mixture of ninjas and the super-natural, NS uses a healthy dose of bloody violence, sexual tension, innuendo, and sexual content to keep this horror story moving.

The animation is pretty good and the dub is respectable. It's not as visually enticing as PRINCESS MONONOKE, but the story is more linear and direct.

I'd recommend it to any anime fan over the age of 16.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Visually Stunning
Review: The gorgeous animation of this movie is what really makes it worthwhile.
The plot is fun, if a little thin, and the scripting nothing special.
But the animation makes up for all of the those deficiencies and then some. Very well-drawn and concieved characters and superbly choreographed action scenes that leave the viewer mesmerized.
Worthwhile to enjoy the anime, if nothing else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gets better every time
Review: This is by far the best ever. The animation is great. The story is even better. Viewers will pick up new things everytime they watch. A must have!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's all good.
Review: I loved this movie from the first time I saw it. The graphics are good and they don't hold back. You really begin to understand the story and the only thing I would have to say is that I wish the fight scenes lasted a little longer and you got to see more of their special powers. I love that about anime but I am very satisfied with this movie and it fits perfectly in my collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool Stuff
Review: I watched this a few years ago when ignorant people were still calling anime japanimation....this movie is the best I have seen in a while...Beiside Vampire hunter D I think there is something here for all the true warriors.
