| | AAW: Ninja Scroll Review |
 | | Ninja Scroll is everything you'd expect from a gory anime ninja action movie--slick animation, lots of ninjas, a corresponding volume of blood, a big group of superpowered bad guys, a cool good guy to cut them into little pieces, a sufficient selection of strange erotic situations, and a convoluted plot. |
 | | But Ninja Scroll is more than just a ninja hack and slash flick that's got it all--by taking all the earmarks of a tried and true formula and nailing every one of them, it has distinguished itself as the quintissial entry in its genre. |
 | | The English title "Ninja Scroll" has little if anything to do with the original title, or the series--there isn't even a scroll in it (though in a stroke of irony, there is a different ninja movie that does involve scrolls, released a bit later--Ninja Mono, aka Ninja Cadets). |
