Review

First, let's get to the important stuff, this anime was made in 1989, but for it's time period, Ayame is quite a babe. Moving on. . . I enjoyed this anime a lot. It seemed very realistic in the way of how the characters were introduced and how they performed in battle, I just love watching ninja fights, and this has a lot of them! It's not quite as pretty as the animation in Ninja Scroll and such, but it does have its good points and for when it was made, I can't complain. The story is great, it's very fluid and you always know what is going on but never know what we'll happen next. The ending is a good one, Wrath of the Ninja is just a solid title.


Overall:
7.5 (Not to shabby!) / Wrath of the Ninja has very little flaws and many high points. A bit out dated, but nothing major. A definite buy if you're a ninja fan!
