is that the one that looks like the 'adult' version of Shinobi?

lol yesh. Shinobi the movie was adapted by the anime (I think) but the anime is WAY better. More characters and you really get a taste for their powers. I mean, the movie didn't even give you a proper taste of what each Ninja can do.

I saw the movie first and was a little disappointed by some of the scenes and the really fast pace, but the Anime is verra good.

Except for the abundance of breast shots. :grumble:

EH?!

There's a Shinobi anime? How did I miss that?

I quite liked the movie, but that could be because it has Yukie Nakama in it :) Anything with Yukie-chan in it can't be bad.

The movie's not bad, but when you watch the anime, you realize just how much they edited out to make the movie. Half the characters aren't in there, and the exploration of each individual's power is limited. Definitely watch the anime!

there isn't a scene where Oboro's breasts gets squeezed in the anime?

looks like 18+ to me the manga... very ecchi

a 12 episode dorama remake of Shinobi would be nicer

No... but every other girls' are. :beaten:

I need a recommendation. For my niece's upcoming sixth birthday, I'd like to get her an anime series. Much as I dislike dubbed anime, because she is a beginning reader, it would have to be a series which is dubbed (hopefully as her reading skills improve, she will be able to understand the subtitles down the road; plus she is learning rudimentary Japanese right now as well). Can anyone suggest a good series (not a movie) which is decently dubbed that would be age-appropriate for her? Thanks.

i dunno whether it's suitable for her or not

but until now, the best anime i've ever seen would be Noir. i love that anime so much
