I only watched first couple eps of the anime, but I just watched the movie Shinobi-Heart Under Blade, and it looks to be a live action version of the story. Stars the woman from the L/A Gokusen. I thought it was quite good. CG effects work pretty well, fighting action pretty decently done. Tokugawa Ieyasu brings together representatives of rival ninja clans the Ige & Koga to face each other in deadly combat under the guise that the outcome will determine his successor. A tale about fate, scheming, and ultimately, love.
