Summary: Uhh...Was it just me or did nothing happen in this movie?
Review: My first thought when the end credits started to role was: What the h--- was that? I wish I had read the reviews of this movie before I purchased it so I could have saved my [money] and bought a movie with a story. Granted this has everything every hard core anime fan wants; decapitations, dismembering and gratuitious sex, but there was just no point to the movie. Just as an interesting story starts to form, the movie's over. You never know anything about the main character except that he did something horrible in his past.... Then there's the ridiculously pointless assassin who shows up in the middle of the film.... Nothing explained, nothing concluded. Add the confounding pointlessness of this movie to the fact that it's not even 50 minutes long, and all you get is a big waste of money and bigger dissapointment. Two stars for creative deaths, zero stars for story and point. Bottom line: Don't bother....

Summary: A Good Anime With A Differnt Aporch Of Art Work
Review: Sword For Truth has a differnt type of art work blending still images with Anamation and to me it comes out very well. The anamtion isnt that great but its good enough. The story is good some things are hard to figure out but pay attenchen and your figure it out. The DVD is good but not to many goodies.

Warning: This Anime Is For Adults Only Do To Extremely Graphic Prolonged Ultraviolence Including Strong Graphic Sex Scenes,Strong Graphic Sexual Drug Use,Violent Abuse Towards Women,Strong Graphic Sexuality,And Strong Language. This Anime Is Unrated.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool Samurai Anime!
Review: This video was a big hit in Japan, and had good reputations by critics. If you ever enjoyed the samurai animes like " Ninja Scroll" or " Wrath Of The Ninja", this will be the next step for you. But If you only love " Rurouni Kenshin", well I think you better looking for " Gasaraki" or " Evangelion" . 'Cause this is the story of Samurai for his revenge & honor, not for his rebel without cause. In other words," Sword For Truth" is like "Saving Private Ryon", not like " Full Metal Jacket". So the choice is up to you.

Summary: A rip-off of ninja scroll
Review: When I bought this movie I was expecting to see an anime of quality comparable to Ninja Scroll (the best anime ever!). When I watched through the movie I was very disgusted I had bought it. It had many pointless scenes and most of the characters you never see again after one scene. As for the combat (the box says "best ninja fighting action since ninja scroll") it was mainly just still frame paintings with a moving camera. There is so much blood and gore that I actually felt sick, something that has never happened to me from a movie. One last thing, for 30 bucks I expected more than 47 minutes!
