Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 73 Average rating: 3.5 "Good to pass the time" I have mixed feelings. It was hard to follow and will require multiple viewings. The female characters are particularly sympathetic. The narration to get around the action was distracting. Worth it if you find it on sale. "I like brid guys" the story line was not that bad "A pretty good movie I've seen better and I've seen worse" This movie was pretty boring in the begining but most movies are, it had some cheesey music but, past all that it was a pretty good movie. "An excellent Anime" I really enjoyed this anime. Although I have to admit that the music was a little cheesy, I liked the animation. I really enjoyed the story and the fight scenes. It was interesting how they put the story together. I would recommend you watch this anime at least once. I own it, and personally love it. check it out. "Had potential at first" At the start of this movie, it seemed rather interesting. But the the movie rambled on from subject to subject, time period to time period, and the plot twist toward the end was so inaudible, that only a computer could understand it completely. I never know the intentions of any of the three shadow warriors, and it is impossible to keep track of the seven obero ninjas (unlike the 8 devils of Kimon in "Ninja Scroll") and the love between Sakon and Ayama was not very beleivable. This movie needed a better introduction, and more time to straigten out the plot. 189 minutes would be more suitable than a meager 89 minutes. Throw in irritating cheesy fight music, fights in which you don't know who is who, and plot twists involving characters who were never really in the movie that much in the first place, and you have one dissapointing movie that could have ranked among great Ninja movies like "Ninja Scroll," or "The Dagger of Kamui."
