When honor means nothing and power is everything, can love survive? A legendary pair of rival ninja clans battle to end years of slaughter as a forbidden love struggles to prevail. Fate will decide if the ultimate declaration must be made: To the one I love… prepare to die. Episodes: Destiny Last Rendezvous The Onslaught of War The Horned Owl
Set in 1614, the fantasy-adventure Basilisk (2005) is a Romeo and Juliet story based on a manga by Futaroh Yamada and Masaki Segawa. Gennosuke, the grandson of the leader of the Kouga ninja, loves Oboro, the granddaughter of the head of the rival Iga ninja. They hope to marry and end four centuries of hatred--unaware that a war between their clans will determine which of Hidetada Tokugawa's sons becomes the next shogun. A nonstop blood bath ensues: rivals dispatch each other with swords, daggers, spears, darts, sickles, and throwing stars. The designs are grotesque: one ninja resembles a cross between an ape and spider; another looks likes a member of Kiss. The vocal performances sound very stilted, but there's not much an actor can do with a line like "The river of animosity between our clans has been flowing for centuries." Basilisk will appeal to fans of Ninja Resurrection and other ultra-violent anime. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, nudity, sexual situations, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
