A relatively pleasing anime........2007-04-27

I recently purchased a bunch of miscellaneous anime, and had a viewing session over a few days.

Wrath of the Ninja actually was one of my more favored of the bunch. I watched the "movie" version. This is a relatively classic anime. The animation is good. I enjoyed the voice acting as much as most other decent shows/OVA's out there. I definitely preferred this over Ninja Cadets!, and far and above Harmagedon.

Spriggan (Special Edition) was another matter. I rather liked Spriggan, despite a less-than-perfect ending (I still thought the anime was better overall than Akira; by my preference anyway). I figure that, despite being of different genres Wrath of the Ninja was on par with Spriggan. I haven't watched the OVA feature included on the special edition yet, but I assume it will be of as high of quality if not higher quality than the "movie" version.

In all, I think this is worth a "buy" rating. Certain more so than Harmagedon or Ninja Cadets mentioned above.

be ready to pause.......2007-03-27

this was a good buy. the movie of coarse was good, but i liked the mini series a little better. it goes a little more indepth to the story and explains a few things that were skipped. but hold a finger on the pause button, the subtittles run a bit fast and its hard to read it all in time. but well worth it.

Its alright.......2007-03-04

Wrath of the ninja is a decent anime. By no means is this a classic. I'll tell a little bit about it without adding spoilers. Wrath of the ninja is about 3 ninja clans who are fated to combine their powers to fight off some evil threat. The plot is very predictable and cliche. The characters are developed pretty well and there's a good dose of action. A couple of gory scenes here and there. This isn't on the level of Ninja Scroll but its still pretty good. Nowhere near the best but far from the worst. Clockin' in at 87 mins. if your an anime collector this will fit right in with your collection.

Discerning anime fans....do not buy!.......2007-02-28

This movie was extremely cliche and cheesy. Probally the worst anime I've ever seen besides maybe RG Veda. I tried to keep watching just to see the brief nudity mentioned but couldn't stand it past the first 10 mintues.

back when anime was more adult.......2006-08-11

In the year 1580, Lord Nobunaga's undead armies ravage Japan, slaughtering all that stand in their way. Only one hope remains. A young ninja escapes her village's destruction armed with a mystical dagger, one of the three legendary weapons that can end the warlords rule. To do this she must join her fellow fugitives, bearers of the remaining blades, warriors who are destined to free Japan ... or die.

This is a two disc set with both the movie and the series I love it. I love "Wrath of the Ninja" every since it first advertise on television back in the 90's.
