Jubei-Chan the Ninja Girl - Complete Set description Improbable as it sounds, perky junior high student Jiyu "Jubei" Nanohana is the reincarnation of the legendary samurai Yagyu Jubei. When she puts on the fabled Lovely Eye Patch, she becomes a devastating swordswoman. Yagyu's loyal retainer Koinusuke, who's spent the last 300 years seeking the Patch's ordained recipient, insists she assume this new identity and its attendant responsibilities--including a 300-year-old vendetta with the Ryujoji clan. Jubei has mixed feelings about this legacy, as she does about the romantic attentions of elegant Kendo champion Shiro and gleefully "unrefined" Bantaro. Shiro's scheming brother, Hajime Ryujoji, hopes to realize an ancient plot to rule Japan "by the sword." Mikage, who attacked Jubei in an earlier episode, returns to reveal the secret of the Eye Patch: warriors struck with Yagyu Jubei's sword receive no wounds, but discover their true hearts. Jubei uses this knowledge to free Hajime from his clan's ancient grudge. But Shiro is possessed by the spirit of Daiyu Taiko Ryujoji, who was defeated by Yagyu Jubei 300 years ago, precipitating the centuries-long vendetta. In a surprisingly deft ending, writer-director Akitaroh Daichi has Jubie's perennially distracted father use his skills as a writer to devise a way to destroy Daiyu and free his daughter from the Lovely Eye Patch. As a result of her adventures, Jubei matures: the ditzy whiner in episode 1 grows into an appealing young woman. (Unrated: suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, minor risqué humor) --Charles Solomon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Not a "smart" anime, no.... |
| Other reviewers have been ragging on this title quite heavily. I agree - if you are looking for a historical-based, deep plotted, good art styled anime about martial arts, then look somewhere else.
However, I really enjoyed Jubei-chan. It was more of a spoof of anime than anything else. Some moments of drama, but mostly poking fun at the serious martial art types of anime. The characters are goofy, and it is a bit racy at times, so its definately not for kids under 15 or so. The soundtrack is awesome, and I absolutely loved the fight scenes (moreso towards the end of the series). It does move kinda slow towards the beginning (to introduce the characters), but with the last two discs especially, I could not pull myself away. |
