| Electric SheepAlex FitchFor those seeking the best ninja/samurai action on screen, there are dozens of live action movies either directed by Akira Kurosawa or based on manga by Kazuo Koike that are much better films than Ninja Scroll. |

| Little White LiesAnton BitelThere is so much going on here, that the film's total lack of subtext - or, more generously, its pure escapism - only sinks in afterwards. It may be a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing - but all that demon-whupping sure is fun. |

| User ReviewEmeka WBlood and guts...and thats in the first 30 minutes. The rest of the time there this story about a ninja but then people start dying again!!! Its a great anime movie....Probably the best ever. |
