Everywhere I went, it was always "Ninja Scroll rocks! Ninja Scroll is the best damn anime movie out there!" Although I was disappointed, I must agree that it's the best of its genre.
Packed with action and kickassedness, it also carries the three evils of entertainment: Violence, Language, and Sexuality. Therefore, I'd have to say that Ninja Scroll should be 16+, but that never stopped me. Come to this amazing ninja slicefest for more than slicing. As you might guess, there are various special ninja techniques and special abilities. And, much like Yotoden: Wrath of the Ninja, there are several main baddies that the three main characters must kill. Well, on to the synopsys, eh?
Jubei, ninja mercenary, is caught up in a situation that could get him killed, but not getting into it also means death. Having been poisoned by an old man, Jubei must do whatever he says to get the antidote he needs. Meanwhile, Kigero (I know her name, I'm just not sure if that's how you spell it) is a member of the Koga ninja clan who must seek out the demons who killed their warriors, and though she is an above average warrior, she is also a poison tester, meaning that she is immune to poison, but anyone who even kisses her dies, but not quick enough to stop them from enjoying themselves. When Jubei, the old man, and Kigero meet up, it makes for some interesting scenes and battles as the eight demon warriors seek out our heroes and try to kill him. Eventually, a sensical plot appears and things start to heat up with some of the best battles I've ever seen. Worth a rent, but don't buy unless you've seen it.
That's my Story and I'm Sticking to it!
