They're not just sneaky guys with throwing knives, they turn to stone and have steerable mystic claws on endless chains and can hold off their own deaths until they deliver that one vital message. Ninja Scroll is the very epitome of this attitude. However, it seems it is illegal to have ninjas that you can actually believe in they all have to be supernatural and/or sublimely skilled, to an order of magnitude above and beyond your garden variety trained killer. I await the day when I can see a ninja character that I can even begin This, on the other hand, went a long way towards making me realise that, as with anything else (I now realise - I was young and had no sense), not all anime is superb. Luckily, I was already convinced of the ability of anime to stand up to anything that live action could throw at it. Ninja Scroll was one of the first examples of anime I ever saw, and it made a lasting impression on me - a bad one. If you don't like it, then you have only lost an hour and a half of your life. The English dub was done very well.ĭo yourself a favor and watch this movie. I'll also mention that this is one of the only animes that I can watch in either English of Japanese. amazing villians, and a hero willing to fight them, and not cry about it the whole time.
#Watch ninja scroll movie english dubbed movie
This is the movie that made me realize that cartoons could be serious, not just Bugs Bunny style. Demon ninjas with terrible powers, each unique. Those are also the people that have only been watching anime since it became popular in the US. Or that the character development is terrible etc. Although a lot of people today will say that the art isn't that good. This takes me back to a time before even pokemon was in the US. This was the very first anime film I ever saw. If you enjoy Ninja Scroll, which I can only hope you do, you should definitely check out Wicked City, which is from the same director and in many respects is practically the same film. There's also rape.so if you're offended by that you probably should steer clear. There's also a really hilarious was at least funny to me. The movie is also quite gory and has a lot of nudity in it. There's nothing deep about it, there's no meaning to it.the film is about action and that's exactly what it delivers.
The film is about action and fighting so, for me at least, it's understandable that the characters are pretty flat.Įnjoyment: I love Ninja Scroll. However the interactions and 'development' of characters is meaningless to the film. I felt really sorry for her during pretty much the entire movie. About the only noteworthy character is Kagero. You get a couple 'reveal' moments, but they're a little bit boring as well. All the characters are pretty one dimensional are never developed. Well, maybe not ever, but he's still pretty amazing and he has a good heart. Sound: Cheesy, oldschool.perfect for the movie.Ĭharacter: Jubeii is.the best and most powerful swordsman ever. Most of the screen flashed red and black really quickly and I quickly averted my eyes.
Granted there were 2-3 moments where I was forced to turn on the lights because I felt like I was going to have a seizure. But the movie wouldn't feel right without the style of art that's used. The art isn't good, it isn't bright or 's mediocre. Each enemy that Jubei faces is different and even though it's pretty clear that he can't be beaten it's interesting to see him face some of the tougher opponenets.Īrt: The art completely and perfectly suits the feel of the anime. Almost all of them were brilliant, I say almost all because frankly I wanted to see a couple stretched out a little longer. But the forte of the anime is the action scenes. It gets slightly weird towards the end and the actual ending itself was a little lacking. There were some interesting little character developments and a couple neat twists and turns. However the story itself (if you're actually paying attention) isn't all too bad. Essentially the entire plot can be seen as a device to switch setting and to move Story: Ninja Scroll in a very realistic sense is an anime B-movie. My friend and I saw this at our local Blockbuster and he had heard of it from a coworker who said 'WATCH THIS MOVIE!' Now generally when I get recommendations from my friends I don't enjoy them all too much but Ninja Scroll was and is possibly one of my favourite films. Ah Ninja Scroll, the epitome of everything a ninja anime needs and tries.and fails to be.
