Interesting. I am getting to a point where I may need to rewatch some of the shows I started with to give them more accurate rankings. 

\r\n

Ninja Scroll is currently #35 on My Ranked List. I think it is a good action anime with an interesting plot concept that I had not seen in the previous anime I had already watched at the time. Some of the characters are better than others for sure but at the time I was impressed with how constiantly good the movie was considering it came out in 93'. I was not expecting it to be so mature and have a darkish theme which is what I like. The climax was pretty kool action and I will proably rewatch this for that alone.

However some of the pacing is too fast and I would like a TV series on it. I know there is a sequel but I read it was dissapointing. Maybe I'll watch eventually but I got lots of other stuff to watch. Have you seen Ninja Scroll: The Series?

Hi.

I compared our lists and on the anime we share, our ratings our pretty dam close. Except for Ninja scroll... What were your thoughts on that movie?

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and leaving the comment, I appreciate it :) My list is behind. Like...really behind. I need to do quite a bit of updating with shows I've seen and am watching.

I haven't dug into the current season too much yet. Currently I'm watching Yuri!!! on Ice, Magical Girl Raising Project, Scorching Ping Pong Girls, WWW.WAGNARIA!!, Okusama ga Seitou Kaichou! Plus!,  and of course Teekyu 8..

While not a huge selection, this gets me some action, some drama and some comedy. To round it out, I need something serious with plot (I'm unsure about how good Magical Girl Raising Project will be, even though it's absolutely gorgeous) and some romance (Okusama is good for a bit of laughs but it doesn't quite quality for me). WWW.WAGNARIA!! has been a disappointment, considering how much I loved the first cast. On the flip side, Scorching Ping Pong Girls is all the intensity of decent sports anime plus the laid-back comedy of the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things genre, making it an instant hit in my book. 

I have other shows on my radar, though I have a bad habit of never getting to all the things I want to watch. I'm interested in trying Ameiro Cocoa in Hawaii, Long Riders!, Stella no Mahou, All Out!!, San-gatsu no Lion, and Fune no Amu. Others may follow.
