Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who still love a bit of magic and action fans. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. A good follow-up to Ninja Scroll.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 16 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

In historical times, the Shogun family employs a group of Iga ninjas to take over the Akizuki clan's lands. The Akizuki hire the Fumi ninjas, a group of female warriors who enhance their fighting ability with sexual magic such as the "white snake spell". When the Akizuki emerge victorious, Tsukinojo, the leader of the Fumi ninjas, marries Lord Akizuki.
