Overview: (VHS
Back)
For over a thousand
years, Japan was secretly ruled by the Shinogara, a society of ninja whose
palace lies in a hidden valley at the base of Mt. Fuji. The assassins'
grip on Japan was unbreakable, until their finest warrior, Hayate Kanuma,
rebelled against the group and murdered Shinogara's fearsome leader - his
own father!
Guilty of both betrayal
and patricide, Hayate fled for his life. But his ninja enemies landed a
fatal blow. With only minutes left to live, Hayate took a desperate gamble
and transferred his soul into the body of his sister, Shiori.
Now, Shiori is wandering
the streets of Tokyo, under the alias “Yukiko.” Assassins still search
for her, unaware of her new powers. But each time Shiori calls up her brother,
she sacrifices a part of herself. After all, two souls cannot occupy the
same body – for long! |
Review:
Where shall
I start? Boring.............confusing.
Now granted
I have only seen two episodes, however this is half the series and
It fells like it should be episode two of at least ten. I will undoulbly
rewrite this review once/if I view the last two episodes. However,
besides the really cool action. The series just lies flat.
The backstory
is thrown in your face and in that short time it's hard to understand it
all. For the sake of the show I hope it gets better and soon.
I need more backstory....and fast. On a second veiwing things started
to make a bit more sense, but it's still a bit foggy. |
