About Wrath of the Ninja

Wrath of the Ninja (戦国奇譚 妖刀伝 劇場版) blends action by J.C.STAFF (1989). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: The year a comet races across the sky, splitting the heavens, from the depths of the Earth the dark god shall arise once again. Then, the dark evil lurking in the shadows shall come out of the depths of Hell and show itself in the present world.

From there, the emotions of the blade of the wind shall collect at the source of the blue light. The three blades shall become one, vanquishing evil. The year is 1580, and the unholy armies of Lord Nobunaga Oda steadily spread across Japan.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Ayame Hayami (Keiko Toda) and Hayate Sakon (Kazuhiko Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by J.C.STAFF, so the studio's house style defines how Wrath of the Ninja looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Keiko Toda voicing Ayame Hayami gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 1989, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
