Movie Reviews of Ninja Resurrection (Essential Anime Collection)
Movie Review: Ninja Resurrection Fun But Way Too Short
Summary: 4 Stars
First off let me tell you despite what may be said in other reviews THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO NINJA SCROLL. If you are expecting one then look elsewhere. Now having said that Resurrection does follow the exploits of a charater who is in fact Jubei Yagyu based on the historic Japanese swordsman and is not Jubei Kibagami the protagonist of Ninja Scroll. It would seem that Jubei and his crew have been hired to take down a group of Christians who are holding up in Shimabara with bloody results. The second episode is as equally bloody as a dark prophecy comes to fruition.
This anime fuses historical events and unrelenting action. The animation isn't half bad and the story line is coherent. This is not for those of you who are squeamish at the sight of gore since there is a great deal of it (the rape scene comes to mind) you might want to think twice if you are offended by such things. Not to mention the subject matter concerning Christianity might strike a nerve with some people. The only real major flaw is that it is only two episodes long and there is no resolution to the conflict. The reason for this is supposedly because of the subject matter and how it may have received a negative reaction from most western countries. Still if you like good action, a nice story, and have an hour or two to kill then pick this up at your local rental place before you buy.
