steven d Dec 9 Amazing, some of the greatest ultra-violence against a swarth of evil, powered ninja. Top 5 greatest anime and a brilliant ninja epic in it’s own right. See more Jay W Jun 22 This movie is set up like a video game. In order to defeat the final boss, our hero, Jubei, must first defeat the 8 demon leaders. They even incorporate the Zelda 2 mechanic of how to restore your health. This movie seems like it would be right up my alley. I love me some ninja stuff, and video game logic. I did beat all 3 Ninja Gaiden games on the NES. And I was loving the sound of some Rurouni Kenshin voice actors in the English dub cast. I also love 90's anime animation; it has an intangible grit to it. But despite me being an easy mark for this, I didn't love this film. That came down to the flat characters. Having a blank slate protagonist works in a video game, but for a film, I need a bit more to go off of for Jubei. And I will admit it, this film was too dark for me. I prefer my ninja adventures to be a bit more lighthearted. This one was too bloody and naked for me to fully enjoy. I acknowledge that is a personal preference, but this is my review after all.

See more 09/13/2024 Tonight was the first anime in the AX Anime Fest 2024 and it's Ninja Scroll 31st anniversary. This is symbolic for me because it was the first anime I ever seen that got me into anime. It looked fantastic in digital. Boobs, sex and blood, It still holds up . The music score and action is fantastic. Had a great crowd tonight . I enjoyed it as much as I did back in 1996 when I seen it. The different version of the ninjas was great. Plus had a cool q&a with Ninja Scroll director Yoshiaki Kawajiri 9.4/10 it's great and was amazing to see it again. See more Yash B 09/12/2024 "Ninja Scroll" is a special movie simply because it is the first time I went to see a movie in theaters for an anniversary re-release and I hadn't already seen it. This is a pretty cool anime movie, and its mostly because of its visual style and actions sequences. I don't feel the story or characters grabbed me in the way they should have, but I enjoyed watching this on a big screen because of the striking visuals. I also feel it is a pretty influential movie for anime and I can see how other pieces of cinema have drawn inspiration from it, and think it holds up mostly well enough for being 30 years old. Overall, it is a piece of anime history that isn't always perfect, but still very slick and with some really well-put-together action and fight scenes. See more Read all reviews
