Adapting a classic is difficult

"Koga Ninja Stickers" is the most exciting animation work I have ever seen, so I will be demanding and looking forward to this film. "Koga Ninja Stickers" is too large to be presented in 90 minutes, so it will definitely be edited and edited, and I would like to see if the adapted movie has any magic.
Sure enough, a lot of changes were made at the beginning of the film. The double ninja battle in Shunfu Castle became their own performance show. The number of ninjas on the ninja post was also reduced from 10 on one side to 5 on each side, and Tsukuma Koshiro even changed from Iraq. He transferred to Jiahe. But the biggest change is the change in the plot. The reason why the anime is called "Koga Ninja Post" is because two Ninja posts were written in Sunfu Castle. The Iga Ninja posts were delivered safely, but the Koga Ninja posts accidentally fell to Yi Kato, so Koga has no idea that the long-term peace terms between the two ninjas have been lifted. As a result, a large number of Koga ninjas on the list were killed, while Iga had only a few casualties. In the movie, they went home safely, and 5 people started to fight with swords and guns, which reduced a lot of variables. As for the
actors, Yukie Nakama is not as cute as in the original book, and does not look like Yang Yan and Yingying. Fire actor is beautiful. And Odagiri didn't have the heroic spirit in the original book, and seemed a little dull.
There are too many deletions in the film, many backgrounds are not explained clearly, and there is no space to expand each person's personality one by one. However, this is a common problem with movies. Overall, it is OK and can be given a passing score.


ps: It's pathetic, lovers can't get married.

ps2: Yang Yan is the most pitiful and can never be loved.

    In the peaceful era when the cold weapon was over, instead of being left idle and forgotten, the ninjas should kill each other to get their way. Outstanding sense of form, different ninjutsu (phantom pupils, kunai, long hair, gu, poison, divination, disguise), assassination in the desert without being avoided (hero?). At the end, I saw that the original theme was for the tribe. Yasha pills, Yakushi Temple. In fact, it can be expanded.

    It's really a Romeo and Juliet-style love story. Ninjutsu is really cool, but the action scenes are a bit less, and the ninjas put their energy on being cool. ★★★
