Ummm.... You are the first person I've ever heard that would put Ninja Scroll on a worst anime list. From myself and amongst my peers that I watch anime with, Ninja Scroll is considered one of the best movies ever made. Even the dub job is well done if you prefer dubs to subs.
The animation is fluid with great character designs. Heck, these are some of the most creative characters I've seen in an anime in a long time.
The story has many subtlties that you can pick up on after repeated viewings. This is particularly impressive given how graphic and explosive the movie is most of the time.
If you don't mind, I would like an explanation of what there is to NOT like about this movie other than the fact that it is very graphically violent. Then again, I am aware there is a TV series out there that I haven't seen any episodes of yet. If your Grade: F is in response to that, I would appreciate some details so I know why I should avoid it.
I thought the animation quality was pretty good. I watched the dubbed version, and I think that's why I hated it so much (I just can't watch dubs since I've taken a few years of Japanese). The graphic/explosive nature of the movie was also a reason I disliked it (a little too over the top, I thought).
I was also bored by the story (which I don't remember anymore). I remember watching it with friends and laughing at it through most of it...my college buddies and I seem to agree that it was bad. And most people I've met who've seen it say it was bad (or mediocre at best).
But since you strongly disagree, I might have to watch it again. Maybe I'll give it a fairer grade this time
