Synopsis

Jubei Kibagami has always been the master dealer of death, but in rescuing a ninja woman from a monster he sets loose a chain of events that puts death in his own veins and sends them on a nightmarish odyssey through a surreal and devil infested ancient Japan. How do demonic possessions, an annihilated village and a man Jubei thought safely buried in his past all connect? If Jubei can't piece the blood-soaked clues together, his only consolation will be that he won't live to regret it for very long! Prepare your mind and steel your gut for the insanely gore-packed orgy of violence that still stands alone and unchallenged as the ultimate anime action feature. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)

Great looking movie with some cool fights, though lacking in narrative originality.

Ninja Scroll is often recommended as one of *those* 90s anime, one the visual masterpieces that cell animation fans point to as an example of just how good cell animation can look. This set a fairly high standard of expectation, though knowing absolutely nothing about the story of the movie was defi…

It's a really great anime movie, that blends both tropes from anime and samurai films.

Really great anime/samraui film that combines tropes from both mediums perfectly. The visuals are really great, still look great on a 1080p Blu-ray today, and one of the best I've seen from an anime from the '90s, those visuals are also complimented with some really amazing animation directed by Yo…
