Hello everyone,
Ninja Scroll
Ninja Ressurection
Im glad to be back posting today :) I really hadnt planned on putting up a post today though, but after i watched Ninja Scroll and Ninja Ressurection last night, I realized i made an error in my post yesterday, so im here to fix it :)
Last night, while i was watching finishing watching Ninja Scroll, I went to a movie site that i usually visit, to check out reviews and summaries of the movies i watch. The site is called http://www.imdb.com. I usually go there to check out live actiom movie reviews, but ive recently noticed that they have profiles for anime films/series as well. Well to make a long story short, i went there and found the film profile for Ninja Ressurection, and i noticed that i had made a mistake.
I read that Ninja Ressurection IS (supposedly) NOT the sequel to Ninja Scroll. I felt bad that i had always believed it to be so and that i had been telling others that it was, so i decided to put up a post to let you all know what ive learned.
The main key points that people were claiming that voided it from being a sequel was that
1. The Jubei in Ninja Ressurection has a different last name
2. The Jubei in Ninja Ressurection has an eyepatch, which covers an eye that he injured when he was young
How the people concieved of reason #2 is beyond me, because as i watched Ninja Ressurection, I never saw anything that showed how he got the eyepatch, which leads me to believe that He Could be the same Jubei from Ninja Scroll, I mean whats from keeping a ninja for hire from using a fake last name and an eyepatch to conceal his identity?
On the movie site, i also noticed that there were alot of people that wrote some bad reviews for Ninja Ressurection. From what i could tell - most of them were angry because it wasnt the same as Ninja Scroll. Ill admit, this movie isnt the same as Ninja Scroll, it is its own movie and we cant take away from that just because alot of people want to compare it to others.
In My own opinion, after watching Ninja Ressurection, i enjoyed it as its own stand alone film. Id still like to mentally believe that it is somehow related to Ninja Scroll in some way, whether sequel or prequel, or alternate universe type story. Both Jubei characters do look similar, they both wear the brown gi, both facially look the same, (minus the eypatch), and their hair (though both in different styles) are the same color. This movie is violent, alot of people are killed, men, women, and frieghtenly enough - children even die. I wouldnt let anyone under the age of 17 see this movie because of its adult nature. One thing i did particularly like about the movie is that the music was done really well. Id say that it has some of the best music of alot of the anime movies ive seen. At the end of the movie, the words "To Be Continued" popped up at the bottom of the screen, so that leads me to believe that this movie has another part, or was never completed.
All in all, id reccomend it to any anime fan. Its a different movie than Ninja Scroll, and can be enjoyable if the viewer has an open opinion and is a fan of violence and ninja warfare. Id say that its up to each individual person to make their own assumptions about whether or not its the same Jubei in both of these movies, I think it could very well go either way and i feel that they are one in the same, i suppose because id always like to see Jubei in one adventure after the other :).

Other than the Ninja Scroll/Ressurection situation, I havent been up to much today. I made another wallpaper this morning which brings my total wallpaper count to 80, which is a pretty cool feat in my book, especially for someone like me who is picky about his creations and has to be in the mood to create something lol. Here is a clip of the wallpaper i created this morning :)
It was pretty fun to make. It had been itching me to make one of Mugen, since i had made of of Jin a week or so ago, so i hope you all enjoy :)
Well, i think that will be all for me today. Ill probably try to watch some more anime movies/episodes that i havent gotten to yet, so i can have something to post up tommorrow or later on in the week :) I thank you for visiting and i hope you all enjoyed the post.
If you have any questions regarding the Ninja Scroll/ Ninja Ressurection debate, feel free to send them to me and ill try to make as much sense of it as i can, so that i can help you out :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
