Movie Reviews of Ninja Scroll
Movie Review: It's good, but something's missing
Summary: 5 Stars
Always has been a great movie. It seems the 10th anniversary edition is a little edited in areas the original was not. I wish I hadn't spent extra for this version. I bought it used and there appeared to be a booklet missing also. No biggie. The best anime ever! It seems Hollywood has been flirting with the idea, but I hope they finally make the live action version.
Summary of Ninja Scroll
Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 02/23/1999 Run time: 90 minutesA peak achievement of Japanese anime, Ninja Scroll is a propulsive mix of samurai action adventure and supernatural fantasy from writer-director Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Supernatural Best City). This is defiantly animation for grown-ups, complete with fountains of blood, plenty of naked flesh, and (in both the subtitled and dubbed versions) some decidedly strong language. (Students of Japanese language could pick up some useful expressions.) The plot sounds like a 16th century variation on the X-Files: An entire village has been wiped out by a mysterious plague and an anti-government conspiracy of invulnerable demons seems to be responsible. A wandering ninja, Jubei, and his female counterpart, Kagero, team up to defeat the plotters. Jubei is a classic reluctant hero, agreeing to participate in the mission only after being fed a slow-acting poison; the antidote will be supplied after he cooperates. And Kagero, a looker whose embrace is lethal, is a femme fatale with a difference that seems distinctively Japanese: sexual contact itself is poisonous, especially for a warrior with a pure soul. --David Chute
