I watched this film because it is an anime very well known outside of Japan and considered very important, "the founder of anime ninja in the world".
in my opinion is much less interesting than other anime like "Ghost in the Shell" and "Akira" (to name two well known abroad)
the story is fairly trivial , the hero, the girl, the love between them, the old Japanese wise, the (supernatural) enemies.
the images are very beautiful, very raw and shocking, the most important part of the movie.
In conclusion I would say a lot less than its reputation. 6/10
