![]() That's the basic plot of this show (ninjas killing ninjas), but alas I am getting dishonorably ahead of myself as I am wont to do. ![]() Whereas in the live-action movie you barely get acquainted with any of the ninjas involved in the plot, here, you really get to know all the little ninja-lambs as they head for the slaughter. Whoever thought that an animated show about uber-powered ninjas killing each other could be so emotional? Cool and dramatic, yes, but I never thought I'd get so engrossed in the characters themselves. They double the number of ninjas, they triple the action, and they quintuple the drama. Not that Shinobi - Heart Under Blade was less than awesome, but this 24 episode series ( Basilisk) is even more cut-ass rugged. Basilisk is the name of the manga/anime that Shinobi was based on, and now I know that Shinobi was really just a shorthand version of the tale in its entirety. So THIS is what Shinobi - Heart Under Blade was trying to do.
