Summary: Timeless
Review: I always had a soft side for wandering swordsmen in anime. Probably because I'm privileged to learn the very same martial art that has entertained all of us Ninja Scrollers. The artwork might seem to be in a dated style and quite simple compared to the CG infused eye candy found in Ghost In the Shell, etc. But that doesn't take anything away from the detail and the originality Yoshiaki Kawajiri has shown us in Ninja Scroll. What's timeless is the way he combined over the top action with surprising moments of earthiness recognizable to a trained martial artist who views this film. This is exemplified in the duel against Utsutsu Mujuro, where every masterful stroke was in accordance to the real art of ancient Japanese swordsmanship while at the same time manage to keep you on your seat with it's furious presentation.However there is a minor detail I just have to mention. Seeing how the title of the film is Ninja Scroll, there's very little evidence that suggests that Jubei himself is a Ninja. I guess it would be fair to say he's a wave man, Ronin, seeing how he fights with the Katana and has an impeccable sense of honor as opposed to the Ninja who fights with the Ninja-To and has little honor. Just thought I mention that because I wouldn't want people to have a confused idea about the Japanese culture.

Summary: NINJA SCROLL
Review: The ninja scroll is a decent movie well worth the watch but I don't see why everyone raves about it. I mean it's good and all, good action good characters and a extremely complicated story but it doesn't live up to classics like princess mononoke and Akira. I recommend it but don't expect anything ground breaking. Other movies to see if you liked this one: Wrath of the ninja and samurai X.

Summary: Hideyuku Kikuchi's Masterpiece
Review: This movie is very good, but unfortunately not perfect. The fighting is very good in most parts, but very short in my opinion. The ending fight scene is probably the best out of the whole movie when him and his arch-enemy Gemma duke it out (especially when Jubei headbutts him). The whole movie is basically about the hero, Jubei, fighting a group of ninjas each with super-human powers. When you do watch this movie, steer clear of the dub. Its basically a clone of Wicked City with the same voice actors being re-introduced. Also, I've noticed that this movie also (like Wicked City) offers a fair share of female sexual abuse. It might be because that's how it was back then, but in one scene they show one particular sex-oriented thing that probably could have been left out entirely without hurting the movie one bit (the scene where the shadow ninja captures Kigero). Otherwise, this movie was a delight to watch, but its not near worth the hype that surrounds it. I would still reccomend the DVD to true fans of the Anime and ninja type shows. NOTE: This movie features a ninja named Jubei but has nothing to do with another show that is very similar to it called Ninja Resurrection. Both shows have ninjas as the base of attraction and a hero named Jubei, but neither have anything to do with each other. Two different companies, two different shows.

Summary: Just Get It.
Review: This was the first Anime that I had ever seen in my life way back in 97 (what a debut, right?). For a while, it took me a long time to find on that could match it's complete package of great heros, villains, story plot, and animation quality. Since then, the mind has matured in the way of anime, and this one is still near the top. This is one of those movies where if someone has the gall to say that they didn't like it, you'd look at that person funny from that point out. Look at my title....

Summary: Average
Review: After reading all the great reviews for NS, I was itching to watch this anime. After seeing it I'd have to say it's pretty average in my opinion. The animation is dated and flat compared to today's anime. I preferred to watch it with English subtitles cuz the voice-overs were extremely cheesey. The action was pretty nice, I just wished the fight scenes were longer. I noticed that a lot of previous reviewers mention the nudity and sexual content but it's really not that bad considering it's a cartoon. Overall, I can't recommend purchasing this movie but it's worth a rent if you like martial arts anime.

Summary: a masterpiece
Review: From proclaimed anime director Yoshiaki Kawajiri "who gave us anime like biohunter,wicked city and the new vampire hunter"
brings us his masterpiece complete with a nice digital masterd version.
What all can I say if you havn't seen this then you havn't wacthed anime.It's what all other anime wish it was,its what we anime fans try to compare everything to"we need to stop,they'll never be another Ninja Scroll"
Technically the dvd is a great remasterd version with a great 5.1. The picture quality is also really good.Thankyou Kawajiri for all the great anime,especially this one!

Summary: NinjA Scroll be thy name
Review: This is a must have for any one who likes or know some one who likes anime. It has the ultimate protaganist, Jubei, who not only talks ... with the best of them, but deals out the craziest techniques in martial arts. The villians are also great, they are all different, all very cool, and all put up a hell of a fight. This movie is the definitive anime, don't get me wrong, Akira is pretty great, but it can't squash the replay value of this movie nor can it repress how classic this film is. >Peace

Summary: It lacked some character development
Review: All in all i liked the movie. But to me it was just a average joe-schmoe type of movie that lacked a lot of character development. Characters in the movie suddenly went from hating each other to loving each other and a lot of this doesn't make a lot of sense. There is a lot of unneccessary scenes in it, such as a particular totally oddball sex scene... Go out and rent it if you have nothing to do on a friday night and want to see some gory action, but don't expect a huge master piece. There is better anime.

Summary: Moron Fodder for Frat Boys and Misogynists
Review: Ninja Scroll is a huge disappointment for any fan of intelligent story telling. This ridiculously butchered telling of historical events is sheer fantasy and was more painful to watch than Mel Gibson's "Braveheart." This sort of drivel may appeal to horny fratboys who cheer as the blood sprays and women are raped, but to anime fans who prefer substance, this is a waste of time. Go watch Evangelion or Grave of the Fireflies.
