I was introduced to Ninja Scroll in year 2004. My brother went home one day and he shoved it to my face, while I was in a deep slumber. It's 2.00 a.m in the morning, mind you! Since it was during weekend, so I decided to stay up and watched it till the end.
The protagonist in this anime is Jubei Kibagami, a masterless ninja. He is a wandering vagabond ninja who wants nothing to do but rest until one day, he got himself involved in a battle between the Hiruko and the Kimon Clan. Later, one of the Hiruko Clan members gave him a Dragon Stone in which he must give it to the light maiden, Shigure. Now he is on an adventure to give the Dragon Stone to Shigure and to protect her from both the Hiruko and the Kimon Clan.
I like this anime for the fact that, the episodes are not too long (which are only 13 episodes altogether). Other than that, I also found that the plot is rather intriguing and interesting. The realism and the graphic are also praiseworthy! A good anime to watch but not by all. There are some disturbing element in this anime. It's quite bloody and the rape scene is quite blatant for the younger audience.
Anyway, I recommend this anime to those who like samurai anime!
