Product Description
Four-disc set includes all three volumes of Ninja Scroll: The Series and a bonus disc loaded with extra features. The Bonus Disc includes audio commentary from the director and cast, a glimpse into the Mad House Animation Studio, trivia game, DVD-Rom features and more. Based on one of the best-selling anime films in U.S. history (Ninja Scroll, 1994). Production overseen by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (creator of Ninja Scroll and director of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust).
Amazon.com
Ten years after his popular feature Ninja Scroll (1993), Yoshiaki Kawajiri returned to the adventures of super-ninja Jubei Kibagami in a broadcast series. A wanderer who can cleave enemies in two with a single sword-stroke, Jubei gets drawn into a ghoulish war while trying to get a peaceful night's sleep. The Hiruko and Kimon ninja clans are fighting over the mysterious Dragon Stone, which confers extraordinary wealth and power. It's somehow linked to Shigure, a woman whom the ninjas call the Light Maiden. With some faltering help from thief Tsubute and Dakuan, an aged but powerful monk, Jubei sets out to deliver the magical Stone to Shigure. What follows is a repetitious gore-fest: Jubei splits, beheads, and skewers an endless array of bizarre-looking demons. At one point, a ship literally floats away on a sea of blood. Despite some simple computer animated effects, Ninja Scroll looks more like a series from the mid-'80s than 2003. The designs of the characters, endless duels, and meandering storyline recall Fist of the North Star and other early, blood-soaked epics. The four-disc Ultimate Collection comes loaded with special features and extras, including interviews with the composers, directors, English language director, and principal English voice actors. There are storyboard/animation comparisons, still art galleries, a trivia game, and Weblinks--everything but character arcs and a coherent plot. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, nudity, sexual situations, including suggested rape and lesbianism) --Charles Solomon

Do I like Ninja Scroll? Jubeitcha July 20, 2008

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.
 It will make you want to sit thru the whole series at once! January 25, 2010

This is an awsome series with plenty of swords, blood, and well thought out battles. It is a great addition to my collection of anime.
