add recSince Sword for Truth is essentially a ripoff of Ninja Scroll, it only makes sense that you'd check it out. It has the same sort of plot, meaningless sex, and violence. I wasn't a fan of either of these to be honest, but Ninja Scroll is FAR superior regardless.
Sword for Truth felt like a subpar version of Ninja Scroll on many levels. The action is there, Ninjas are there, demons are there, but the feeling of 'awesome' seems to be off the mark. If you enjoyed Sword for Truth, you should really do youself a favor by checking out Ninja Scroll.

add recWrath of the Ninja and Sword for Truth are both somewhat more serious examples of series with Ninjas. The feel of the fight scenes and of the series in general is so similar that if you enjoyed one, you should enjoy the other.
