Does anyone remember this

The 1993 theatrical version, Kawajiri Yoshiaki's most outstanding film, is even worse than the famous "Vampire Hunter D".
After reading it, I suddenly felt that Kawajiri Yoshiaki was actually a fan of Yamada Futaro from the bottom of his heart, just like himself. The protagonist of the beast soldier, "じゅうべえ (Juubei)", maybe in Kawajiri Yoshiaki's mind, he wants to read him as "Ten soldier guards".
The reason why I am so keen on this type of film is that if I go back to the source, it was the "Saomi Hachiken Biography" that was broadcast on cable TV in junior high school. At that time, such films were extremely rare. Among them, the heroine Jing Ji is played by Yakushi Maru Hiroko (薬SHI Maru ひろ子, Gemini on June 9, 1964), which is still fresh in my memory. I was really fascinated by her at that time. I remember the "W の Tragedy" on TV was repeated Look again. Now that I'm older, I don't come out and act often, and I've only seen it in "One Litre of Tears" recently. In addition to Asano Atsuko, I liked Japanese actresses the most when I was a child. I was also very impressed by Natsuki Mauri, another female warrior who played "Li" - my sister-in-law tendencies may have started at that time.
I didn't pay much attention to the male protagonist Hiroyuki Sanada (Libra on October 12, 1960), but now, because of the well-known "blood case caused by a steamed bun", everyone knows about the "Squad Leader Sanada". , his and Miyazawa Rie's "The Qinghei of Dusk" is really a classic.
Chiba Shinichi (January 23, 1939, Aquarius) played the loyal dog in "The Legend of the Eight Dogs", and the familiarity with him in China is still from the hero in "The Wind and Clouds Dominate the World". Chiba established the JAC Production Company in 1970, and both Pharmacist Maru Hiroko and Sanada Hiroyuki are popular under its banner. At the age of 70 this year, he announced his retirement from the film industry on July 16, 2007. The NHK big river drama "Fenglin Volcano" is his last work. In my mind, he is forever "Yagyu Jubei". (The representative works are "Devil Reincarnation" and "The Conspiracy of the Yagyu Family" directed by Fukasaku Shinji)

    Fine detail production ~ The character jumps on the tree and the whole tree will shake slightly; the character's expression changes delicately and delicately; in the lack of CG technology, the scene of drawing a group of bees one by one -------- this Is it to be ashamed of how much today's TV ANIME? The rhythm of the plot is good, and I haven't had such a fun and dripping movie viewing experience for a long time. PS Following "The House of Weima", the lower limit of the erotic description of the general animation has been refreshed.

    8/8.5 The best 90s story character style and music are impeccable; unfortunately, the short theater version limits the development of characters, especially the villains; female characters like Kagerou is my favorite type and the love story of the beast guard is wiped out Enough sparks but not enough stamina. It seems that the girl named Yang Yan in the animation that I have seen did not end well..

Ninja Scroll quotes

  • Zakuro: It looks as if Yurimaru carelessly stepped into my trap; an unfortunate accident, but his own fault. Now he's the Queen of the Devils!

  • Shogunate Envoy: Gemma, this gold will soon help us make our dream come true.

    Lord Himuro Gemma: What dream?

    Shogunate Envoy: Our great dream. We'll topple the Tokugawa government, and restore the reign of the house of Toyotomi. You wouldn't understand how we ex-Toyotomi retainers have suffered. This time, the Tokugawa will suffer those agonies. With the gold we intend to buy the most advanced weapons from Spain and use them against him. That is the true dream of all who work for the Shogun of the Dark.

    Lord Himuro Gemma: Nonsense.

    Shogunate Envoy: Wha... what did you say?

    Lord Himuro Gemma: I said it's nonsense.

    Shogunate Envoy: Watch your tongue! You're a mere ninja!

    Lord Himuro Gemma: My dream is different. The gold won't go to the Shogun of the Dark.

    Shogunate Envoy: What?

    Lord Himuro Gemma: The Devils of Kimon will take the gold.

    Shogunate Envoy: Damn you! Yaah!

    [runs to Gemma with his sword, but Gemma puts him in a stranglehold]

    Lord Himuro Gemma: I'll use the gold to organise the most powerful army of ninja ever, and we will rule the country with terror and power from the shadows. Anyone who disobeys me - Tokugawa, or Toyotomi, even the Shogun of the Dark - shall die.

    [breaks the Envoy's neck]

    Lord Himuro Gemma: That means the *real* Shogun of the Dark... is me!

    [chuckles as he throws the body into the sea]
