wot a letdown!!
hopefully ninja scroll 2 will wipe the memory of this out of existence!!
shareyeah I agree, really dissapointing. stupid villains and Jubei defeats every one using the same attack.
Samurai Champloo is better
It was never gonna be as good as the film, but I thought it was good fun. Some of the character stuff was a bit poor, but the action was good.
I suppose it helped that I didn't really have much expectation for some reason, even though ninja Scroll is my favourite anime film.
Haven't seen all of the episodes yet, so maybe it gets worse though...
I just wish it was a little longer.

The original was brilliant because it had so much character. Jubei was a fine swordsman, but needed ingenuity and luck to save the day. In the series, this is hardly emulated, as all Jubei does is spam the Wind-Slash attack over and over. No style, no thought. Also, Dakuan was completely different. He didn't seem half as cunning or ruthless in this. Tsubute was almost a pointless character.
shareI actually like this series I wouldn't call it great but it wasn't that bad to watch.
You're Not Worth My Hateshare
I watched it all and I'm afraid I wasn't impressed either.
It was entertaining but a long, long away from being as good as the movie.
The central plot could have been handled in 3 episodes. Instead it's fluffed out with an extra 10 needless episodes that became little more than an exercise in 'monster of the week'.
I also badly wanted to kill his sidekick.
