Ninja Scroll Burst

About This Movie

So, 'Ninja Scroll Burst' is this sequel that came out in 2012, though the director's name seems to have slipped through the cracks. It's interesting, picking up the threads of the original 1993 film, but you can feel a different energy throughout. The action is still there, animated with that typical flair, yet it leans more on the narrative side, exploring deeper themes of vengeance and redemption. The pacing has its own rhythm, sometimes slow, letting the atmosphere build, other times explosive, reminiscent of classic samurai tales. The practical effects are a nod to the past, as the animation feels fluid, yet grounded. It’s distinctive for how it reflects on legacy while still serving up the visceral thrills you'd expect from a 'Ninja Scroll' title.
