This review is from: Ninja Scroll: The Series - Ultimate Collection (DVD)

This series, i think, follows on after the movie. Jubei, after desroying the eight devil's but losing Kagero, finds himself in yet another adventure as his swordsmanship has become famous. He promises a ninja to keep the sacred Dragon stone safe and to give it to the light maiden. But two waring ninja clans also want the stone. Now Jubei must keep the saftey of his new friends (including a return for Dakoan)and the Dragon stone until they find the light maiden. With superb animation, breathtaking battles, and a whole host of characters that really fit, this series has it all for the action anime/manga lover. A must have for all anime fans everywhere and i would definitley recomend it to anyone.

Buy it and enjoy.

This review is from: Ninja Scroll: The Series - Ultimate Collection (DVD)

When I bought this series I though it would continue from where the movie took off. I was wrong, but delightfully so. The story in the series is awesome!!! Its nothing like the movies, but the introduction to so many villans (deamons) and good guys presents a whole new out look at Jubei. He is still one bad dude in the series. I wouls Highly recommend this series to any Ninja Scroll lover!!! The action is just as awesome as the movie, and the blood is to die for!!! Five stars hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series, beautiful presentation, June 22, 2005

This review is from: Ninja Scroll: The Series - Ultimate Collection (DVD)

This series is a great follow-up to the classic film. For those who love action, Ninja Scroll has that and more! Even beyond the many and varied monsters that the protagonist Jubei encounters, what's truly amazing about the series is the balance between action, drama, and humor. I've been watching anime for years, and I was still blown away Ninja Scroll TV!

Any fan of great packages will appreciate the treatment of the box set. The artwork (which you can't see from the outside) is gorgeous and vivid, and the Limited Edition version comes in a shiny silver case with a really sweet Jubei action figure. The bonus fourth disc has some cool stuff, the best being a video tour of Mad House Animation Studio, and the audio commentary tracks a close second. I'm really pleased with this set, and I recommend it to anyone who's a fan of either Ninja Scroll or cool anime sets in general.
