A mercenary ninja named Jubai is the heroic swordsman who battles an army of demons in this adult animation from creator Yoshiaki Kawajiri

Ninja Scroll weaves its way through a maze-like plot, in which a powerful sorcerer is conjuring supernatural forces to destroy and terrorize entire villages.

Jubai reluctantly agrees to confront the seemingly all-powerful enemy after learning that his own life is ultimately forfeit of he refuses.

Joining him in his quest is the beautiful, and in all ways lethal warrior Kagero, a girl in whom poison literally courses through her veins.

The quality of the animation is excellent, the art is drawn in a sophisticated manner and the conceptualizing is especially imaginative.

Ninja Scroll is an anime in which graphic sex, vivid gore and adult language all serve the purpose of deepening the intensity of a great story with unforgettable characters.

The DVD is available in both sub-titled and dubbed versions.
