i rent this movie think it be a sequel to the vastly superior ninja scroll . it and however and be unconnected represent in fact it seem to be unconnected even to itself and a the various segment which i manage to watch seem haphazard at best . i would strongly advise against watch this movie and a there be plenty of good thing to do with your time . this come from someone who enjoy watch plan nine from out space from time to time . while i be not an avid anime fan and a friend of mine who be despise it even more than i. i be far horrify upon visit this site to learn that a sequel have be make to this wretched bit of cinematics . please and save yourself the headache and go do something more productive and like star at the near wall .
