Summary: Great Villains!
Review: Holy guacamole! Just so you'll know where I'm coming from, let me tell you up front that I'm not an anime fanboy. Not because I don't like it - "Ninja Scroll" is the first full-length animated Japanese film I've seen. So this review will be from the point of view of a neophyte. The opening of this film is marked by extremely choppy storytelling. Three separate, apparently unrelated scenes draw us into the movie, creating mystery and suspense. What's the mysterious plague? Who are the dark riders? Well, it will eventually come clear, but in a murky sort of way. As a neophyte, I was shocked by two things - first, the seemingly low-quality animation, which I've been told is a hallmark of Japanese film, and second, the explicit sexual content. One reviewer here has suggested that one should not allow a child younger than 13 to see this film. I don't think I'm a prude, but I would still raise that age to 17. The rape and torture scenes are somewhat excruciating, and there is one scene with a serpent that is downright horrifying. That said, there is a certain minimalist beauty to this film that the non-squeamish will appreciate. The villains are remarkable; a seemingly invincible stone-skinned man, a tattooed woman who controls snakes, a twisted dwarf whose hunchback is actually a wasp's nest built into his flesh - these guys ain't Disney villains, that's for sure! I watched the DVD with the English dub and the actors were very disappointing - they sounded kind of dull and mushmouthed, like an average American teenager, bringing no drama to their various readings. Also, they were a little cliched, with the gruff-voiced bad guys all sounding as though they had had colds and the good guys sounding like the cast of Beverly Hills 90211. Overall, I enjoyed "Ninja Scroll" and will probably view other Japanese animated films. If you aren't easily put off by extreme sex or violence, you may like it, too.

Summary: Respect to the Ninja
Review: Ninja scroll is one of the best japanimation moves I've seen in a long time. The script and charcters were right on.It has an old fashion japanese setting that tells the tale of a Japanese Ninja who has nothing but his sword and his wits, fighting against the forces of evil. This move is awesome. Why don't they have more movies like this?

Summary: The best anime I ever seen
Review: I think this movie is cool is because of the swordfighting, violence,gore,and adult parts. The best part of the movie I think is when Jubei gets pissed when Kagero gets killed by Gama and kills all the Ninjas one by one. I recremoned this for 13 and up because of the violence,gore,nudity,and caussing.

Summary: Great , A gotta see for anime fans
Review: This film was fantastic. Filled with deciet and betrayal,Love and the super natural. The film blended together , Everything fell in its place. The dubbed was great, the actors did an awesome job. Its not everyday you get to watch such a well made film. The animation id have to say is very well done. Good details where put in. The music to me made it all the more exciting. The action sequences and storyline were excellent. This one, though, is filled with rape and gore. Not for the youger audiance of anime. Id say this is a must see. A high ranker.

Summary: you havent seen anime untill you see this
Review: first of all i've always been a fan of anime; however, when i watched this movie for the first time i was so into the movie that i couldnt do anything but be dazzled by the art, the storyline which there is one unlike one reviewer "thinks", and the acting is outstanding i know that is a cartoon but i could feel the mood and emotions as if i was watching an a+ film with 20 million dollars a day actors. i want to commend the writers and poducers of this trully great film. i own and i highly suggest for it to be in anyones collection. if i had bill gate's money i would buy it for you myself, and you can take that to the dam bank.

Summary: Ninja Scroll is the best anime made ever!!!
Review: Well, what can I say from the begining you can tell that jubei is the coolest, and best, character ever. First he gives you the feel of a heartles, rouge mercenery, then when the story unfolds, his character developes, to be a deep, thoughtful, and loving. The story is just great, and the action fantastic, I can recomend it, for any one, first timers or not. unbelivable swordplay, and great story with a touch of the superpowerd. 5 stars just makes it a MUST.

Summary: Don't judge a film from its cover !
Review: As I heard Title of the film first ... Well, there are lot of Ninja-films everywhere. The cover of the DVD spoke to me: Ninja&Demon&Blood. The first scene was like I thought that film would be. An arrogant unvulnerable warrior cutting bad boys in pieces. but.. Well, I noticed that one woman on the cover and thought she's the one who has to be rescued like always. I was wrong... I think SHE plays the most important role in this film, because Jubei the ninja plays his part ... well as a ninja. Poor, lonely, serious, strong. Kajero slips out of the woman-in-ninja-film role, because of some ...facts which are quite uncommon. ;) So everyone who hasn't fear of strong women, blood, and some(three) scenes with sexual content(which I think, don't really fit to the rest of the film) can buy this DVD instantly !
