There is only 1 level of shading used in most scenes, which makes the characters look like flat cutouts. It's abrasively bright with vivid colors that resemble the palette from Pokémon. That can be a plus.***CONS***ANIMATION:The darkness of the film is nowhere to be found. You can follow it from the kitchen while you cook and never miss a thing. The story resembles the thinnest of video game quests. A couple of them are intriguing, but are used unimaginatively. If that satisfies you then great! They try to amass an evil crew of villains, each with their own power (much like the 8 Devils of Kimon from the movie). His single swing is also a long range attack, so it doesn't matter where the villain is, they're dead. Jubei swings his sword once a battle (sometimes twice) to kill his foes. It's just doesn't hold a candle to 90% of other anime. They are poorly drawn, covered in 2 frame movements, one-hit-kill lazy choreography, and not reminiscent of the vicious style showcased in Ninja Scroll (film). Here we go.***PROS***ACTION:There are some ninja battles. My goal is to help steer away those who are bothered by low quality, regurgitated themes, plastic characters, and truly thin storylines. I believe there's an audience for everything. I'd be ok with a fresh, new approach, but this is an uninspiring product all by itself, and takes its place as a leader in low quality anime. This series resembles nothing of the film. I remember, in the mid 90's, being blown away by Akira, but Ninja Scroll is what got me hooked on anime, and prompted me to scour the world looking for more. Ninja Scroll (the movie) ranks up there with Akira and Ghost in the Shell in terms of gateway drug anime.
