 "Boring Story, Hard to Follow."Ninja R. is a diffucult story to follow as it jumps from and to differnt times. If you understand the story it's very intersting but it ends very badly; as if the staff just decided to give it a quick ending. Animation and fight scenes are very well done but's about it.  "IT AIN'T THE SEQUEL TO NINJA SCROLL BUT ITS JUST AS GOOD!!"If your a Ninja Scroll fan this ain't the sequel. I own this DVD because i made that mistake, but let me tell you I DON"T REGRET IT!! It may not be the sequel but in my eyes its ranked right under it, and I've seen both ninja scroll and this. It has the quality of Ninja Scroll Action except its more gory and has more nudity (including a rape scene). The only thing that disappointed me was how it ended, it left u thinking "is that all?" but lucky they going to have a continuation of it and i'll gonna get that too. So even if your a Ninja Scroll fan, i still recommend it, i don't think you'll be disappointed, it won't match ninja scroll but it's JUST AS GOOD!(just better then Ninja scroll) hehe "Classic Stereotypical Anime"Ninja Resurrection: The Revenge of Jubei tells the first part of the story of the Christian uprising in Japan, against the Tokugawa shogunate, who saw Christianity as a threat. Among the Christians there is born a saviour; sort of like Christ himself, according to prophecy. However, within that prophecy lies another prophecy; if the Saviour doesn't fulfil his destiny, he'll be reborn as Satan. True, the story does sound intruiging, and it is based loosely on historical fact, but, especially for someone like me who can't stand senseless violence and ridiculous sexual acts, it fails to make a serious impact. The story is plodding while it sets the scene, with a brief history lesson and the introduction of Amakusa Shiro (the prophesised Saviour), and at the end, with the battle scenes and Shiro's fall from grace, it degenerates into an orgy of killing. In a way, however, it may have been the creator's intent; perhaps a comment on the ugliness of war? Still, this is anime that non anime fans probably imagine when they ridicule the medium. A passable storyline that drowned in too much blood. "Great Anime Action Video"The action and animation are great!! And the characters are almost as good as the characters in Ninja Scroll. And for the last time: this is not the continuation of Ninja Scroll. Now, if you like kidstuff anime (who always making funny faces) theres Kenshin and Record of Lodoss War. But if your looking for great action + violence this is definitely the video for you (I would also recommend Ninja Scroll which has a great story). The only thing that I dont like in this video is it has a sequel. Thats why I give it 4 stars.  "Waste of time"Ugh....talk about s DVD regretting to get. If you have any tastes at all don't touch this. Ninja Scroll was better...but not by much. Both movies are overrated pieces of garbage. Try Samurai X if you want a decent DVD. Otherwise, save your money for something else...Cowboy Bebop would work, yesÞ |
