Is Ninja Scroll: The Series retarded???

[highwind]

I love Ninja Scroll. That film was one of the first animes I ever owned.

But I've now watched the first two episodes of Ninja Scroll: The Series and it is completely retarded so far.

Has anyone watched this series?

Does it get better (or at least less retarded)???

Funny enough my friend just lent me the series. I watched the first two episodes and they weren't THAT bad. The only thing that irked me was that it is kind of repetitive. Jubei kills that cat chick and that other chick the same exact way.

Have you seen the movie?

Re: Is Ninja Scroll: The Series retarded???

I've seen the movie, but never watched the series. Judging by the visual style, I had a feeling it was made by a completely different group of people... but I never bothered to verify that information.

Anyone know for sure?

i have the movie, but have not seen the series. and even looking at the series at stores, it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with the characters from the film.

If you are talking about the ninja ressurection/something the other story arch that people like to try and say is Jubei from Ninja Scroll, it has nothing to do with it. I haven't seen the Ninja Scroll Series personally, but I haven't heard alot of good things about it.

I like the animation in Ninja Scroll. Visually, it looks fantastic. And that's cel animation, kids. You won't see that anymore.

I await the Akira animated series based on the manga.

WHY CAN'T SOMETHING THAT AWESOME HAPPEN

Yeah! That's why I love it too! The animation in the series is....not good.

I KNOW SERIOUSLY!

Well, I can tell by your responses that the majority of you have been smart enough to stay away from this series altogether. I think I'll watch a couple more episodes simply because I have them but I don't think I'll be spending my time on the whole series.

Re: Is Ninja Scroll: The Series retarded???

I have Volumes 1 & 2. It's not THAT bad. Everyone that died in the movie is DEAD. Dakuan and Jubei are the only one's returning.

I believe there's only 3 Volumes. If you liked the movie, go ahead and watch the series. It's, IMHO, alright. It's not better than the film, but it's better than nothing.

What do you think of the dub?

I had to put it in Japanese and turn the subtitles on because I couldn't deal with the dub.

Re: Is Ninja Scroll: The Series retarded???

The dub is okay. Comparing the Japanese Voices to the US dub, they get some of them spot on, but for the most part they sound a bit goofy.

Jubei's vioce is good though.

Ninja Scroll is sex and violence. What do you expect?

[highwind]

Re: Is Ninja Scroll: The Series retarded???

Well a lot of the series reminds me of some WB anime with...sex and violence.

That thief character is probably my least favorite anime character of all time. He's useless.
