Ninja ScrollNinja Scroll is among a small group of best ninja films like ‘Ghost in the Shell’ that are considered the quintessential Anime of the mid 90’s. This was a time when Anime was really starting to attract mainstream attention in the United States. Although Ninja Scroll is very derivative of its genre what sets it apart is quality.
The plot of movie follows a wandering sell-sword ninja name Jubei. Jubei crosses paths with one of the Eight Devils of Kimone, while saving a lone ninja women. He then soon teams up with the ninja women Kagero and Dakuan(a government agent) to destroy the Devils of Kimone. What ensues is a blood bath of action and violence. The animation is awesome and so it the music. The English voice over fits perfectly in my opinion. |
