Oh no.
I said I'd start watching Patlabor or Turn-A Gundam soon, so I guess this is as good a place as any to record my thoughts.

Ninja Scroll was always my go-to Kawajiri movie, though I'm fond of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust as well (and watch it every Halloween). It's basically an exploitation film, sure, but it's well-shot and directed with solid pacing and fun fights. Really my only two complaints with it are 1.) the one you thought of first and 2.) I wish Jubei was just some drifter and didn't have previous beef with the bad guy. I kinda like the narrative a bit more when it's a John McClane situation and Jubei just happens to be the right schmuck in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So apparently there was a pitch for a Ninja Scroll sequel a couple years back. Never got funded, but here's the teaser.

Who can say if it would've been as good, but all the same I'm a little disappointed we never got to see it. Guess Madhouse was still recovering from Redline back then.

Watch Redline, by the way. And buy it.

Alternatively: if you are a space fascist, do not watch Redline.
