Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpou Chou ~
Slated for a Spring 2005 release, Kagou Ninpoujou Basilisk, a Gonzo TV Anime adaptation of a semi-historical Ninja comic serialized in Young Animal.
This is an unprecedented anime production. I say that because this production will be funded largely in part by private, personal investments. The Information Section of the Basilisk website states that "Japan Digital Contents(JDC), online brokerage firm Rakuten Brokerage Inc. Ltd. and Jet Brokerage Inc. Ltd., have established Japan's first individual investor-oriented 'Anime-Fund'." The Anime-Fund will begin soliciting for investments starting September of 2004 (tentative date) and be used to fund the production of "Basilisk." The target amount of the Fund is 240 Million Yen. The Fund will be formed around JDC while Rakuten Inc. and Jet Inc. will be responsible for the solicitations. Investors in this Fund will get a cut of the DVD and Video sales and other revenues as well as a name listing in the ED Credit of the TV show. It's 50 Thousand Yen per share in the Anime-Fund, interested? P.S. I've only translated small parts of the prospectus listed in the Information Section. If I've left out anything important, wrong in my translations, or if anyone feels like translating the whole page--please do us all a great service and do so Last edited by Melazoma; 2004-08-01 at 14:14. |

When it's good it's very good, but sometimes it was a bit on the slow side. Also, from the first two episodes it was pretty easy to predict most of the plot.
Spoiler for mild spoiler:
Very nice production values though, loved the music. I don't think I would buy it though. |

I just picked up this series. I watched the movie version of it and when someone mentioned that they made it from an anime, I sort of went on a mad hunt for it. I was sort of expecting the ending but....but....

I'm getting tired for explaint this info.
Besides, wikipedia explains it better than me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHINOBI_Heart_Under_Blade Futaro Yamada(pen name) wrote a lot of novels. A lot of is novel had been made into movies. It's surprising several of his novel made into anime, and they are all from his creation. There are already many manga made based on Kouga Ninpou Chou. So, the movie Shinobi is not based on manga or anime. |

Hmm...I watched Shinobi before watching Basilisk. Aside from some of the characters having the same name, the whole story and plot is completely different from the anime. The special effects and fighting scenes are cool...but I personally think the anime is a lot more emotional.
Anyway, I just finished watching episode 9. Its kinda sad how things turned out that way. Spoiler for episode 9:
EDIT: OMG! I just watched episode 13.... Spoiler for question:
