About Wrath of the Ninja

Here is what Wrath of the Ninja (戦国奇譚 妖刀伝 劇場版) is about, retold in plain terms: an action anime by J.C.STAFF (1989). What the story covers: 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.

Further in, 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.

In an action series like this, 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. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with J.C.STAFF, which means the visual identity of Wrath of the Ninja follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, 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. Released in 1989, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
