A peak achievement of Japanese anime, Ninja Scroll is a propulsive mix of samurai action adventure and supernatural fantasy from writer-director Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Supernatural Best City). This is defiantly animation for grown-ups, complete with fountains of blood, plenty of naked flesh, and (in both the subtitled and dubbed versions) some decidedly strong language. (Students of Japanese language could pick up some useful expressions.) The plot sounds like a 16th century variation on the X-Files: An entire village has been wiped out by a mysterious plague and an anti-government conspiracy of invulnerable demons seems to be responsible. A wandering ninja, Jubei, and his female counterpart, Kagero, team up to defeat the plotters. Jubei is a classic reluctant hero, agreeing to participate in the mission only after being fed a slow-acting poison; the antidote will be supplied after he cooperates. And Kagero, a looker whose embrace is lethal, is a femme fatale with a difference that seems distinctively Japanese: sexual contact itself is poisonous, especially for a warrior with a pure soul. --David Chute

For years I was telling people that Ninja Scroll was one of the worst Anime Features I had ever seen. the lack of plot was instead replaced with numerouse violence and sex scenes with an unclear villian. Finally I rented this again and watched it and after the third and final viewing of this, I have come to realize that this is Ok at best for those reasons. It is not the worse anime feature I have ever seen but it is by far not the best.

the story revolves around a wandering swordsman who teams up fith a female ninja who can poison anyone just by having sex with them and a dirty old man to stop seven demons from conquering the world. Throughout the battles with the demons range in style as each has their own techniques. In the end they of course win but not without casulties.
This is an OK entry and is highly respected because it was one of the first Anime titles to get mainstream attention (Next to Speed Racer and Akira). This is OK, but for Hardcore Anime fans only
