Wrath of the Ninja: The Yotoden Movie - I try to find the original three part OVA series and I could not find anything. So I deiced to watch this movie instead last night. To be honest this anime movie was bad and nothing too special. I found this anime to be boring to watch and the first act of the movie felt like a chore to sit through.

I didn't care for the characters and I didn't think there was any growth with the main character at all whatsoever. Not to mention the story didn't make much sense with the whole three mystical Demon Blades. Everything felt poorly put together and you also have characters that pop out of nowhere. This movie will have ninja characters with powerful attacks pop out of nowhere to fight. The villains in this anime are dimensional stock bad guys. They are boring and flat. I didn't like any of them.

The English dub for this anime is pretty bad. Not so bad it's good like Angel Cop, but just plain bad. It's so hammy that I felt like none of the voice actors at Central Park Media even try to put any effort into this anime. Wayne Grayson is probably the only voice actor in this anime that puts some level of effort into his character. The music score in this anime movie is nothing too special. Some decent tracks, but nothing that I will remember when I look back at this anime.

For the positives that I can say about this anime is that the animation is well done for a 80's anime. Everything is nicely detail and the character designs are pretty good. I do like how monsters in this anime are pretty cool looking too. The animators did a really good job on picking the right choices of darker colors for the dark atmosphere that this movie is going for. All of the action scenes are pretty fun to watch and blood & gore have some nice graphic detail to them.

I guess my opinion on this anime will change if I see the three OVA's because I feel like so much was cut of the story when watching this movie. Overall, Wrath of the Ninja is a average movie at best. The only good thing about this anime is the animation and the decent fight scenes. Do yourself a favor and watch Ninja Scroll (The movie, not the TV series) instead. Grade: D
