Sounds pretty interesting. I'd never felt motivated to watch the movie before but I will now.  |

Loved the movie but the TV series was completely forgettable. Hopefully this doesn't turn out the same way. |

Ninja Scroll was an awful movie. Good job Madhouse. The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn. |

The TV series was directed by Tatsuo Satou only (not the original creator). I submitted a request for "director" to be removed from Kawajiri's name on the TV series staff. This new project will most likely be directed by Kawajiri, the original creator, himself. http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/5040721 I'm Japanese, so if you have any questions regarding Japan, feel free to ask. アメリカ育ちなので、なんか英語に関して質問があれば気軽にどうぞ。でも つまんねーこと聞くなよ！ |

Hope this turns out well. I loved the 1st movie and personally I thought the series was enjoyable though kinda less ominous than the movie was. Ninja Resurrection was an interesting North American marketing follow up with a different Jubei and plot that was quite similar in style to the Ninja Scroll movie. It wasn't as good, but it was still entertaining. Modified by Demonwynd, 04-13-12, 8:21 PM  |
