Ninja Scroll

Title: Ninja Scroll

Story: Feudal Japan, a time of danger, intrigue and deception. Jubei is a masterless Ninja who travels the land alone, hiring his services to those with gold..... or a worthy cause. His fearsome abilities have served him well, but a plot to overthrow the government threaten to end his wandering days, - and possibly his life. When a small village succumbs to a terrible plague, a team of ninjas are sent and realize that not all is as it seems. Ambushed, they are wiped out by a man-monster with incredible powers, leaving only one alive; Kagero, a beautiful female ninja whose touch can bring instant death. Jubei saves her from a fate worse than death, and unwittingly becomes drawn into the web of treachery. He is soon faced with his greatest challenge, an enemy for whom death holds no fear, with the power to destroy Jubei's world. It's an all-out bloodbath when ninjas come face to face in this tribal war.

Anime Direct Comments: This is one of the all time greats. Up there with Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Everyone who has seen it, loves it and wants to see it again. I don't blame them, this is a great movie in all respects, great animation (Madhouse), a brilliantly written story, some of the best action scenes and a great feel. This is one that gets people into anime. Watch it and then wipe the drool from your lip!!!
