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.
