A mysterious ninja for hire, a bold ninja girl, and a Buddhist monk-turned-spy set the bloody stage for Ninja Scroll, an action-packed anime melodrama that serves equally well as intelligent cinema. Kagero is a ninja girl suffering a curse -- she is beautiful but sexually poisoned and thus untouchable. When drifter ninja Jubei comes to Kageros reluctant rescue, a Pandoras box is unwittingly opened, infuriating the power-hungry Shogun of the Dark clan. Bound by fate, Jubei joins up with the monk, and the rag tag triad embark on a mission of vengeance. With brilliantly stylized animation by Mad House, the minds behind the apocalyptic masterpiece X, Ninja Scroll acts as a period piece with uncanny parallels to todays society. Investigating the power of greed, human kindness (or lack thereof), and womens roles, Ninja Scroll puts an interesting spin on an epic morality tale and makes for great animated entertainment.
