Although this show is set in Feudal Japan, don't think this is anything like Sengoku Basara. Sengoku Basara is good, but Ninja Scroll is one of the most critically acclaimed pieces of anime that has ever been created. In fact, it's probably even a little bit more than just a mere anime; it's more like a work of art. Ninja Scroll follows Dean Elliot (or Koichi Yamadera if you're watching it with subtitles) as a ronin ninja who battle demon ninjas and all sorts of dastardly foes. Without giving too much a way, this is a swashbuckling action flick that is effortlessly cool in its execution, with stunning graphics and brilliant voicework. The fact that it came out over 20 years ago and is better than a lot of today's anime is a testament to amount of work writer and director Yoshiaki Kawajiri put into this. If you're looking for the gateway drug into world of serious animated violence then hurry up and watch Ninja Scroll. You won't regret it. Enjoyed this article?
