Summary: One of the best I've seen
Review: This is undoubtly one of the best manga movies I've seen. The plot is very well done, the characters are nicely made, and the animation is excellent. The fighting scenes are also really good. Although I wouldn't recommend this movie for children I would certainly recommend it to all other anime/manga lovers

Summary: amazing but not for childeren
Review: After watching this movie you say wow! the animation in this anime is top notch. The characters in this movie are amazing and intriging and the hero is almost invincible. This movie is about a plague that hits a village and a team of ninjas are sent to invesitgate there is only one who survives a ninja woman and she is rescued by the main character Jubei. The villians are called the 8 devils of koman that worship the shogun of the dark. I recommend this movie for teenagers and adults.

Summary: Ninja Scroll is probably the best of its genre.
Review: Usually when martial arts action flicks are made, things like character development and a decent plot are placed on the backburner. It's refreshing to see a martial arts anime that delivers on all counts.The first thing you'll notice are the incredible visuals. The artwork and animation are superb, with a realistic style seen too rarely in anime. The voice acting was also pretty good. Kagaro could've been voiced a little better, but she was passable. While the premise (lone ninja takes on various bad guys) sounds typical of this genre, the plot actually has some depth to it. It even gets somewhat confusing at times, and has enough intrigue and plot twists to keep things interesting. The characters are another strong point. The hero, Jubei, is your typical lone-wolf tough guy, but he has enough charisma to get by. He is supported by Kagaro, a female ninja, and Dakuwan, who reminds me of Yoda. The villains featured, are simply excellent. Each of the Eight Devils of Kimon are unique in appearance, style, and personality (or lack of it). They also (thankfully) do not appear in successive order of toughness. But what about the main reason for watching a film of this genre: pure martial arts action. The action sequences are inventive with some neat tricks on part of the combatants. Most of the time things are relatively believable, except for a couple bits. In one sequence, a rather exaggerated battle is staged as Jubei falls into the "hero loses it and everyone dies" cliche. There are also a couple of unnecessary romantic sappy moments. Some people may disagree, but I found the whole romantic subplot a little corny. Aside from a couple eye-rolling moments, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. For great martial arts action, Ninja Scroll is probably the best of its genre.

Summary: Pure enjoyment for the open minded...
Review: This review is directed to those who, like myself, are not avid anime fans. I own three anime DVDs: Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Ninja Scroll, and I enjoy all three. However, Ninja Scroll is far the most enjoyable to watch. But this review is not a comparison of the three. I would like to praise the writer/director of Ninja Scroll for creating such an exciting and artistic work while at the same time retelling the ancient tale of the reluctant hero. The plot was sufficient enough to withstand the weight of the amazing action sequences and fun sexual content. The character development was superb. Jubei (the hero) is not portrayed an all-powerful superhero. Instead, we just see a gifted fighter with an immense will to survive. The action scenes are among the best I have ever seen, with battle choreography that is comparable to that of the best filmakers. The villians are imaginitive and original, not to mention devious. The plot is extremely imaginitive, touching on topics that are not common to the "super robots and cute little girls" world of Japanese Anime: love triangles, rape, greed, self esteem, and homosexuality. This film was enjoyable from beginning to end, and if you are searching to expand your collection into something new, pick up this DVD. Its pure enjoyment.

Summary: Did you Make Love to the ninja girl?
Review: I mean maybe better than Ghost in the shell even, this movie is intense, the first time you see the rock hard devil of kimon take out a band of spies in the trees was the first time I saw the movie and I was hooked. Someone had asked if I want o see a japanese cartoon and I was thinking Voltron, speed racer, etc. I pick up more and more every time I watch it, about the different characteristics of the devils and the ninjas and the different clans. The violence and the nastiness are unparallelled, the little monk (who is responsible for the title of this review) is funny, yet very interesting in this set up which is not so easily broken down into good and evil. Kagero's clan leader, even kagero, the monk, all are actually quite bitter, unenthusiastic pawns involved in twists of inevitability leading to the final fight. Your best bet, of course, is not to take it too seriously but to simply enjoy. I suggest this movie for all small children for the excellent values that it instills as well. Furthermore I demand a helpful vote for the propulsion of my ego.

Summary: E X C E L L E N T !
Review: Anything with martial arts has gotta be cool, but Ninja scrolls goes way beyond, it actually has a plot with depth not just pretty anime with limited character development and basic kill everything in gorey technicolour storyline. These characters evolve making them seem more real as the tale unfolds, the villans are well rounded, though youve gotta hate the main rat (my apologies to the rat species, no offence), the other evil lackeys, I use that lightly cause theyre pretty tough bullypeople have more to them than just being monsters out to eviserate any poor slob unlucky enough to get in their way. There are 3 heropeople who battle it out for their own reasons people who are flawed but together fight to overcome the forces of nastiness courtesy of the main evil scumbag (whatshisname) If your a manga fan then this is a must see, visually stunning with great characters and plot, over the top violence, a little bit of romance, betrayal tragedy, martal arts, and yes some sex scenes then this is for you, enjoy and get ready to oooh and aahh!

Summary: Nice
Review: This is an ultra violent Ninja sword fighting beat em up fest, if your a fan of Manga and martial arts, you should check this out, the story is perhaps a little confusing, and as I have stated before in other reviews I HATE dubbed versions, but the dubbed version of Ninja Scroll is passable, they have the voices right and they haven't chewed the plot up. The fighting is ultra fast and furious and extremely dangerous, real 'don't try this at home or else you will lose a limb' kinda fights, and most fights in this movie people do! really well designed characters in this movie, and the animation is smoother than a babies behind. A must for Manga action fans.

Summary: Excellent Japanimation
Review: This movie is an excellent example of what true Japanese animation should be. There's not a lot of sex in the movie, so if you're looking for that, keep looking. The movie revolves around the basic good versus evil. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, and the character development helps get you into the movie. I would recommend this movie to new and experienced Anime fans.

Summary: the best ever.
Review: If you watch ninja scroll for the first time ,you will realise that all others do not compare. I have seen it 11 times and it just gets better. A small piece of advice do not watch ninja scroll untill you have seen the others first or you will be displeased that you did.Nothing compares to ninja scroll.
