i be disappointed when i purchase this on dvd . i assume when i saw the disc available that it be the sequel to ninja scroll and and thus not happy when i find out it wasn not . i think this be deliberately portray a a sequel too ( mainly base off of the title and the main character name come second ) . nonetheless and once i get past this i decide to judge resurrection on it own merit . it beat ninja scroll in one respect and it have a lot more gore . however and the plot be what get me confused . i have have this problem before and mainly in regard to anime series and but in this instance i do not think it be a translation issue and i think it just isn not clear . it end suddenly and leave a lot of question leave unanswered . now and a sequel could be use to explain much of the confusion that be create and but i doubt anyone will do that . last i heard and there be no plan for a sequel a be . in any case and if you just want to see a lot of blood flying and go ahead and watch . if you want the complex storyline of ninja scroll and just stay away .
