Plot: A 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...( read more read more... )). 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

    I first watched "Ninja Scroll" with a tongue-in-cheek attitude and ultimately felt impressed at its potential. An average story but the adventurous conflicts make it all the better. Seriously.

    Ninja Scroll is a Japanese Manga about a ninja mercenary named Jubei Kipagami encounters a beautiful female warrior Kagero. Jubei rescues the woman from Tessai is a creature made of rock is one of the Eight Devils of Kimon involved in a plot to overthrow the Shogun. There's an impossible love between Jubei & Kagero.

    This is one of my favorite Japanese animations. A great story of a Ronin fighting supernatural enemies to stop a plot by his old nemesis. This is not for kids. More for adults due to the violence and nudity. But the animation is very well done it's a joy to watch this.

    I was introduced to this movie while in a video store in Ford City mall back in 89'. I bought it just out of the ravings of the clerk telling me about it, and after I watch it, I RAN to my friends to have them watch it. It's a favorite to this day.
