Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 73 Average rating: 3.5 "My favorite anime movie of all time" Although this was one of the first anime movies I had seen, it has remained my favorite throughout these years. It has a good plot, though I've heard its still missing some parts that are included in the VHS version. My favorite character is Ayame, who is both beautiful and skilled. If you like ninjas, then this movie is for you. It was really touching, some scenes even brought tears to my eyes. "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!" This is the most gory movie that I have ever seen. I wish the stores could warn the consumers before they buy the products. Some say they hated it and some say they like it, it was the best animated film. It was this and it was that. But I say, "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!" To many confusing scenes that will leave you confused. And when you are confused, you can't enjoy the movie. So If you like brain teasers throughout a movie, then this is the one for you. It does have a lot of action, but you won't hardly know why. "One of the best Animes Ever!" I love Anime. I bought this DVD version for one reason and one reason alone. So that I would not have to watch or listen to the dubbed version. I cannot stand the English dubbing. My advise to anyone watching a foriegn film; watch it in its original language, no one else can do the characters justice. That is my opinion. Anyways, that matter aside, let's talk about the movie. Yes, it has extremely graphic violence, but it states that on the DVD. (Contains brief nudity and Graphic Violence, Parental Discretion Advised). Gore is not what this anime is about. There is actually a great historical storyline interwoven within all its action and suspense. 3 Ninjas from different clans unite to ward off Evil. Each Ninja with their own special sword, come together as one. Evil is rampant, Lord Nobunaga Oda with his evil intentions sends out all his evil artillery to smash the Ninjas and thier allies. His goal, to spread evil and demons throughout the land. Ayame, is a young girl who sees her life and family shattered before her innocent eyes, yet she is helpless to do anything. Vengeance becomes her lifelong obsession. Ryoma, a Ninja from a neighboring clan, kindhearted and sweet is her companion and ally. And of course, Sakon (my favorite guy) is the Ninja who can feel the treachery of those around him, and sees the battles and evil as never ending. I will not say anymore, but I seriously recommend this movie. Take my advise and watch this great animated movie. I has everything, including Love. "One of the best!!!!" This is a great anime movie, next to princess mononoke it could be the best. It definetley at the top ( and not at the bottom like Tekken the motion picture).Rent it, buy it, or edleast see it, you'll be happy you did. "One of the best!!!!"
