has anybody else been watching this one?

It's got some really wicked ninja battle goodness in it. Seriously, nearly every episode someone dies some weird horrible ninja death.

It kind of reminds me of the way that those clans from Ninja Scroll might fight, if they didn't stand around yakking all the time.

Been watching this series, I enjoy it more and more each episode. It is a different sort of twist that these guys who you think will live for the entire show only last one episode. Hahaha, oh well. My favorite thus far would be Yashamaru, the guy in the first episode representing the Iga. I was upset when I found out the show wasn't just about him :(

But yeah I like the Iga clan more than the Koga...probably because when you can get a lot of babes who can kick ass on one side, I tend to lean that way. Mostly...

I've only seen the live action movie, and I thought it was pretty good.

The story's pretty bloody. A lot of death and destruction but i have to agree that there are some killer ninja moves in there. Makes me think Naruto for some odd reason ^^; Anyways, watched one random episode, found it a little weird, but it's pretty good in all^^

I don't really see any possible connection between it and Naruto... :?

The only connections to Naruto that I see is that each ninja has his or her own special abilities, whether or not they are learned or inherited by bloodline. There is also the fact that people get brutally killed. Nothing more.

This series more relates to Romeo & Juliet.

Is the ending good? [no spoilers]

or bad?

[as in either nobody escapes and everyone just dies... or it's open ended inviting you to read the manga?]
