Summary: Very unique ninja anime
Review: This is one of the most well-known anime existing, and for good reason; this is truly a unique piece of work. You have a vagabond ninja named Jubei Kibigami who is forced to fight the eight devils of Kimone, led by a man whom Jubei had killed once already. Accompanied by Kagero, a woman immune to poison, and Dakuwan, a crackpot from the Tokugawa government, Jubei begins his quest. The artwork and animation are fantastic, and the fight scenes are unique since each devil has a certain ability and a certain weakness as a complement to that ability. The final showdown is the best part of the movie, as it should be. The dubbing is very good too.

On to the bad stuff: the plot can drag at times, even though it usually picks up at just the right time. The uninspired "ancient Japanese" music melded into the background, and many scenes could definitely have used a cool tune. Gore and all-around oddity are rampant. Worth a watch.

Summary: A Timeless Masterpiece
Review: To summarize up Ninja Scroll in a few words, simply brilliant. This is one of the anime films that have gone down as one of the masterpieces that defines what anime is. Ninja Scroll has a wonderfully diverse cast of characters, a great storyline and knuckle-biting action. This is not as over-the-top as most anime films, but you can not call yourself a fan of Japanese animation unless you own this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must Have for Any Anime lover

Summary: An excelent animated movie!
Review: Great,fantastic,excelent.These would be some of the words to describe this movie.This master piece of japanese animation is a must see,but remember it is just for mature audience because of the blood,killings,nudity and sex.In my opinion,I think some of the killings in this movie wouldn't be necessary for the movie to be so good....It was kind of disturbing to see some of these scenes.Anyways,those are my only complains about these movie.On the other hand this movie was beautifully made and very well planed.I like the ending song,it was kind of sad and nostalgic.Buy this movie,it is just perfect for your collention!

Summary: A Magna Classic
Review: I love this anime, though I wouldn't recommend it for all you kiddies out there. It does have some hardcore violence and some nakedness, but an awesome plot and great animation, especially for being so old. The plot actually reminds me of a mega man game, with the main character being mega man, and all the demons being the bosses. It's great, check it out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The apex of Sword & Sorcery anime
Review: This is the best Sword & Sorcery anime ever made (and, imho, the best anime period). This movie is what got me turned onto the anime genre. It has everything a great anime should have, good characters, great animation, incredible action, and a good story. Highly reccomended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome Anime
Review: This is one of the best animes out on the market!! If you love tons of violence and animated sexual content this is the movie for you. You should also check out Vampire Hunter D and Fist of the North Star(if you can find it)! These are also excellent titles.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fine film, exceeding Disney films in entertainment value
Review: Remarkable film, set in medievil Japan, dealing with vagabond ninja named Jubei who crosses swords against the eight demons of the Shogun of the Dark. What results is an absolutely stunning visual feast of action, swordfighting, character study and mysticism with results that far exceed many American animated films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is top-notch anime
Review: _____If you are looking for anime the way it was intented to be, then buy this film. It's got everything you want: beautiful animation, engrossing story, great character development, cool villains, lots of fighting (well-animated fighting, not that Dragonball Z crap), and blood blood blood. It is also a nice departure from the mecha anime that dominates anime (not that I don't like it! :)
