If you loved Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, try Ninja Scroll

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and they sit in Action / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ninja Scroll is

You're a wandering swordsman in feudal Japan, selling your skills. But a plague decimates a village, and then you're drawn into a web of warring clans. Kawajiri's hyperkinetic animation set a bar for action, influencing live-action cinema. The film pulses.
