You know an anime is bad when you forget that you have it!.......2007-06-11
Blood Reign is one of the worst animes I own. Together with Ninja Resurrection and Spectral Force. This really is a godawful anime. To clarify one thing. I'm not even going to touch the animation because animation to me is the least factor when watching an anime. I say this anime sucks for the reasons I'm about to mention. First the story. What story? It opens with dead bodies everywhere full of stab wounds and arrows, then a bunch of monsters start tearing through the bodies. You get no back brief of the conflict. Its as if you already know whats happened. It talks about,"the innocent blood is spilled to feed the yoma". Wow it just told me a whole lot.
Then you have the plot. Which is boring as can be. The main character is after his childhood friend that stuck a shuriken in his eye and just left. So he's looking for revenge.
Character development is lame as all hell. The female ninja who is later introduced served no purpose whatsover except to cry and scream. The monsters and the battles with them is ok at best. And the situations that arise later make almost no sense. A guy gets blinded by a female ninja who was protecting herself from him. He blindly walks into the water. The sky starts to go crazy. Then a white horse with red eyes appears in the ocean. The main character says its an illusion. This illusion runs across the water, kills the man who was blinded, drinks some of the blood from the other dead men. Then kicks the main characters a**. Some illusion. Then Oda Nobunaga appears with his army and completely obliterates another clan. War over. You dont hear a peep from Nobunaga ever again.
The ending and the final battle wasn't really that great either. I'm sure this review sounds like a mindless rant but I can careless. Lately I have been trying very hard not to give out 1 star reviews and search very hard for the positives in an anime. But I really cant find any here. I see the reason now why I haven't watched this trash in 3 years. Skip this anime. Dont waste your 80 mins. watching this. You want to see ninjas? Check out Basilisk, Ninja Scroll or Wrath of the Ninja. You want a good story. Check out Princess Mononoke, Shura no Toki, or Samurai X. Dont walk, run from this anime.
better then average.......2005-08-26
Not perfect but, great mystery surrounds the whole movie because the Yoma are never fully explained. There could have been more conflict and fighting; this is no Vampire Hunter D or Ninja Scroll. The artwork is beautiful and the Yoma themselves are interesting, taking the forms of regular animals on earth and still containing their supernatural abilities.
Nubidu's Anime review.......2005-08-02
This movie blows. 2 episodes only - which will leave you uncertain about where this is going and where it all began.
Unfulfilled promise..........2004-11-15
Much in this production promised well, but alas this promise goes unfulfilled...
The film has a fairly strong sense of style that is kept up throughout, but is lacking in substance. The plain fact of the matter is that I was rather bored with it - from beginning to end. Yes, there were some good things, but these were just not enough to chase away the strong sense of ennui... which is remarkable considering that there is so much going on that really SHOULD have been interesting...
As just about all the othe reviews have mentioned, the animation is dated though it certainly must have seemed impressive at the time (which was only 1989 - surprising how much the average quality level of anime in general has gone up in the following decade).
In the sound department, there is a fairly nice stereo soundstage for the effects. The music on the other hand left much to be desired - including some unfortunate testaments to the quality of 80s synthesizers (may they rest in pieces!).
In conclusion, this effort was simply wanting. I would really rate it with two stars, but the seriousness of intent on the part of the makers that is so evident throughout earns them another star - albeit somewhat grudgingly.
If only they had been able to fully realize their vision..

old "skool" kung fu for real.......2006-05-12
This is truly one of Jimmy Wang's best performance using weaponery. Definately a classical ending to be remembered. I too was torn on a 3 or 4 star, it was the ending which really impressed me.
The last part is OK.........2005-10-21
The main gimmick is that the main character uses a silver spear; to stab, poke and slash with great aplomb.
Most of the grainy film is pretty boring and it has been directly transferred to DVD with no clean up, BUT there are some good fight scenes to be found here. Fast forward to the last 20 minutes of the film, lots of bloody action.

I was torn between a 3 and 4 star on this film (It is worth noting that I have the Platinum version rather than this version- so I will not speak of DVD quality). Ultimately the ending convinced me of the need for a 4 star review. The final 20 minutes are the sort of stand off you expect from a classic picture. Unfortunately, the build up could've used a bit of comic relief and/or more character development of the general. Well now I am getting technical for an otherwise entertaining movie. No one can strike a pose like Wang Yu! See more great selections at "Kung Fu for the Sole" Listmania.
A GOOD KUNG-FU MOVIE; 3.5 STARS.......2005-01-03
A MAN NAMED THE WHITE DRAGON MUST FIGHT TO SAVE HIS COUNTRY FROM TYRANNICAL RULE. GOOD FIGHTS BUT THIN STORY. IT'S A GOOD MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE OVERALL. YOU SHOULD ENJOY IT. THAT DUBBING IS HILLARIOUS, THOUGH.
