Sep 22, 2007 Phill-z Not Recommended After watching the original movie and falling in absolute love with it I learned of the TV series. I was so ecstatic to watch what I thought would be an incredible series, to say I was dissapointed would be an understatement. Story: This isn't where this anime fails. In fact I don't even mind the story, it's interesting but not incredibly original. Everyone wants to kill Shigure and there's only Jubei and two minor characters to protect her. Storyline progression isn't that great, I found myself in the 5th episode going "is something going to happen?" Animation: Watching this anime ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 17, 2009 Milk-plus__ Recommended Throughout this entire series I was up and down in deciding whether it was good or bad. I decided it is neither. Ninja Scroll: The Series is beyond the scope of simple definitions such as good or bad. It is B-movie! The only, and best, way to describe this anime is through comparing it to classic American B-movies, so I'd say you could call it B-anime. Most of you will be going into the series after watching the movie, which I admit was much better, and so will most likely be disappointed. That's because you'll also expect the same quality, but I'm warning you that you'll ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 27, 2008 Huntsman Not Recommended What a terrible anime. I truly had high hopes for the Ninja Scroll anime series, based of the classic anime movie. Boy I was in for a major disappointment. The anime takes place fourteen years after the movie following Kibagami Jubei who's still roaming Japan and meets Shigure a priestess and things go down hill fast from there. Ninja Scroll the movie was a classic. The story was concise, the animation was great, the action was exciting and the characters were interesting. The series on the other hand was the complete reverse. The story was unbelievable and the tone of the anime had no drama for ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 7, 2010 tophinup Recommended If you are looking for the story creativity and mood of ninja scroll well this isn't it. If you liked jubei and want to see him fight some more while hanging around a familiar old face (that he does not remember) it is worth it to watch. The fights were slick looking and not drawn out and out of all that is different jubei's attitude remains the same and that puts a smile on my face. Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 27, 2013 yemsols Recommended I actually enjoyed this anime...well I found it 'somewhat' entertaining to be exact. I'd rate it overall as a 6.8/10. The story is pretty basic if you're familiar with this type of ronin/ninja genre in anime. Princess is being chased by bad guys, runs into a strong ninja/samurai and they end up journeying together while he protects her. Then some others end up tagging along with them on their journey. Im sort of fan of this type of thing so you can count that as part of why I found this entertaining when some others did not. I have to admit the story dosent draw ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 20, 2011 Heavenforge Recommended Well it was a good anime, but the story killed it, the story was a fail, which made the anime look crappy and not so enjoyably at the end. I was waiting for some better ending, maybe this explains why the ranking and the score for this anime is so low. but the movie was good, people should still check it out even you might be discouraged from this review.I'd say the movie had a powerful ending compared to this series. Lastly, this anime is a good watch if your into bloody action and twisted characters and gotno other anime to watch. Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 11, 2015 Mrromeijn Not Recommended Well since I am not gonna piss anybody of with this one, the kid gloves... stay on. It is not nice to excessively hurt a dying anime. This is the anime about the well known movie and it failed to deliver on the enjoyment that we got from the movie. The story is an a quest to get the ninja scroll from the title, but weird stuff is in the way. This normally would earn any other anime a 4 to a 5, but here I had the movie in the back of my mind and that made the story worse then I expected. It was a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 27, 2009 Koolag1 Mixed Feelings I'm a big fan of ninja and samurai stuff and a big fan the Ninja Scroll movie so was interested in the series and after watching the series can see why it is not liked. Now i did not expect it to be as good as the film but thought it might have been better than it actually came out like. However I cannot fully dislike the series but I cannot fully like it either as its just luke warm all the way through, there is nothing grabs the viewers attention. It is better than Shigurui but not by much. This series could have been good but ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 29, 2020 ardaarsen01 Mixed Feelings Very cheap overly heroised freebooter support characters, picked up by the main character on the roadside... A common point of shounen animes sadly. The anime is supposed to follow one single storyline but since the plot is kind of falling apart there is an episodic feeling. It doesnt have the depth of Basilisk for sure. It is more like a showdown anime. Show gives you no clue about evil doers. There are just some problem guys that needs to be sliced up.. You could call it your average half-season anime, saves the day.. Read more Open Gift Report |
