Ninja Scroll is an anime television series which premiered on TV Tokyo in 2003. This series is directed by Tatsuo Sato and produced by Madhouse. It is based on the original movie of the same name which was released in 1993. The story of Ninja Scroll revolves around a ninja named Jubei Kibagami who is hired by the government to investigate an evil force known as the Eight Devils of Kimon. These eight supernatural beings are causing chaos in Japan by attacking and killing innocent civilians. Jubei must battle each of these villains to uncover their plans and save Japan from destruction.

The animation style of Ninja Scroll is typical of a traditional 90s anime. The characters are depicted as exaggerated and highly stylized ninjas, each with special abilities and weapons. There is an attention to detail in the depiction of violence and gore, which is prevalent throughout the series.

One of the standout features of Ninja Scroll is its fast-paced action and fight scenes. Jubei is portrayed as an expert fighter, using his ninja skills and swordsmanship to take down his opponents. Each fight is unique and showcases the skills of both Jubei and his adversary. Fans of the original movie will find that several iconic scenes are adapted in the series.

Alongside the action, the story of Ninja Scroll is equally gripping. Jubei is a complex character with a tragic past, making him a relatable protagonist for viewers. The Eight Devils are also given their own unique motivations and backstories, adding depth to the overall plot. There are also several plot twists that keep the audience guessing until the end.

The soundtrack for Ninja Scroll is also worth noting, with its mix of traditional Japanese instruments and modern rock music. The opening theme, "The Wind Blows Through the Mountain Valley" by Shigi, is particularly memorable and sets the tone for the series.

One potential downside of Ninja Scroll is some of its content may be too graphic for younger viewers. There are scenes of violence and nudity that may not be suitable for all audiences. However, for those who are fans of anime with darker elements, this may not be an issue.

In conclusion, Ninja Scroll is a classic anime series that is still popular among fans to this day. Its fast-paced action, engaging story, and memorable characters make it a must-watch for anyone interested in the genre. While the level of violence and nudity may not be suitable for all ages, for those who can handle it, Ninja Scroll is a thrilling ride through feudal Japan.

Ninja Scroll is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on February 18, 2021.
