Ninja Resurrection

Animation: C

Story: B+

Overall: B

Lets get this out of the way, Ninja Resurrection is not the sequal to Ninja Scroll. Rusurrection is a series, like Giant Robo. It starts with some japanese wall scrolls and a narrator telling a story of an army and myth. Then the movie plays that out, with epic battles and Samurai.

The story is very interesting, and it looks like it could be quite good. The biggest problem with the movie, while I liked it, was that its only 40 minutes, and is just a setup for what are sure to be more installments. The animation is a little plain, the backgrounds are detailed but the people look like zombies. The music is excellent, but the movie is so short. A good rental, but until more episodes are avaliable, it feels so incomplete.
