It wasn't a bad movie and of course Kenichi was great and I saw several other actors that I recognized they also did well. The acting was well done. It might have been a better score but the site I finally found to watch the movie had the worst translation. It was more gibbirsh the decernable but I was able to get the jest of the movie which also was a little confusing. As the last review said, there was also a lot of flying about. Actually it was more like leaping and some of the ninjutsu reminded me a lot of the anime naruto and some of it was pretty good. I don't know if it was the way the movie was laid out or if it was because the translations were so bad but I really didn't have much in the way of feelings for any of the characters. Of course I was rooting for Kamui and he was way cute and the action was good so out side of the horrible subs it wasn't bad.
