For general idea and summary of the review read the overall part, I hope it is helpful :)
Story
The story behind Road to Ninja is inspired by the Infinite Tsukuyomi - the technique that Madara uses in the original series to create the "perfect world". The goal of the technique is to trap every human being in an endless dream, where their biggest desires come true and they can live in a perfect, pain-free world.
The storyline is really interesting and engaging and since it involves an "alternative world", all the characters from the original series are presented in a completely opposite way. This is really fun to observe and see them acting like we never imagined they will. The only thing I was dissatisfied with in this aspect was that they were not shown in much detail and only hinted about their reversed personalities. Naturally, there is also a strong and mysterious villain to contribute to a great battle and intense fighting scenes.
Art
As expected the art is on top level, I have to say even better than the late episodes of the series and all other movies. There is great attention to detail and interesting features of the transformed characters. It was obvious that a lot of thought an effort was put in the development of the artwork and the characteres in the movie. The director is Hayato Date , who has also worked on the majority of other Naruto movies.
Sound
Similarly to the art, the sound is beyond amazing. The music is always on point and adding up to enhance the feeling and mood the scenes are creating. The composer of the music is Yasuharu Takanashi, who is the composer of all other Naruto Shippuden movies, as well as some other Naruto projects, Gantz, Ikkitousen, Beezlebub and Fairy Tail movies. Naturally, he knows his stuff well. And he has done great job again.
Overall
In overall, I truly believe that Road to Ninja is the best Naruto Shippuuden movie. It is definitely worth watching and you will be consumed by the engaging storyline, intense battles and hard decisions. To make it better the movie shows what the characters would be like if they were living in an alternative universe and has a pinch of good comedy inside. A few of our favorite, but gone characters, also make an appearance and they all need to push themselves to the limit to defeat the ultimate villain.
