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.

I'm just going to be honest here, I loved the series and all but the only reason I bought this ultimate collection is for the mini Jubei figure! The series itself is great, pretty much a longer telling of the original Ninja Scroll movie. The figure is small but detailed and extremely fragile so be careful with it.

Ok dumb puns aside and cute character name usage discarded, this is a solid anime series if there ever was one and does what every series should do, leaves me wanting more. Is it perfect? No, but it's quite good. The formula for Ninja Scroll the series never varies much, plot moves along, Jubei meets enemies, you get chopped suei villains for breakfast lunch and dinner. Tons of innocents die so don't get too attached and there are quite a few surprise twists courtesy of Master Kibagami and friends. Characters are interesting although some are quite undeveloped, something quite common for some anime series including the still excellent Ninja Scroll movie. The artwork is excellent unlike some other series that felt rushed (Record of Lodoss War: Tales of the Heroic Knight). The fight scenes are excellent and you can't help but love the action even if the plot is not the most amazing. Regardless of its short comings, this is still excellent anime and if you want to check out something that isn't live acting and worth the price of admission, this is a fine fine choice.

I thought Ninja Scoll was the best Ninja anime that I have ever seen. When I heard there was a Ninja Scroll Series out on DVD, I had to get it. It was as good as I hoped it would be. Lots of fighting, and very brutal. You can get the entire series for dirt cheap. A definite must have, if you liked the original Ninja Scroll feature movie.

These really are just a continuation of the Ninja Scroll original movie. They have the same types of characters with super powers that Jubei must contend with to help his new found friends. The anime quality is quite good and the voice acting isn't bad either. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the original movie or the Basilisk series.

Great animated movie and cartoon more for adults because of it's contents . Shows the great fighting skills of Jubai the Ninja warrior

The series is definitely not like the movie: different style of animation, waaaaay too many villains with weird powers not skills, and unfortunately I got bored with the hero in the first episode, so then I can not speak of the story line, maybe I'm too old and too old school. So all I can say is if you're looking for edgy, ADULT, classic anime, this series is not it, save your money.

When I purchased this item it was marked as a new product, but when I recieved it I realized it wasn't brand new. It looked like it was opened carefully then put back together. The sticker closing the tin was removed and it appears to have been like that for awhile because it was a little dirty where the sticker had been. Also the plastic wrap around the product was intact but opened at the bottom. Basically it looked like someone bought it, opened it very carefully so they could watch it and put it back together and then resell it. Everything works there aren't any scratches the dvd plays fine and I'm satisfied with my purchase. Just feel like it wasn't advertised correctly, unless I didn't look at it correctly.
