Ninja Cadets DVD Review: 2 OAV's...that's it? We want more!
Ninja Cadets! aka "Ninja Mono" in Japan is a story that combines the sword busting of Ninja Scroll with the wackiness of Tenchi Muyou. My only problem with this DVD is that there are only two OAV's and that there will be no more OAV's afterwards. In other words, you are left with a storyline that begs to have more afterwards. You watch and enjoy the anime but are left saying...I want to watch more!...but for now, there are no plans for more.

As for the video, the quality is really colorful and the video, I'm guessing is only stereo because I didn't notice anything major ala 5.1.

The extras are pretty interesting with about 11 trailers to other Media-Blasters anime releases and the outtakes are very fun to watch. Also, a 5-minute art gallery. I hope Media-Blasters adds them to all their DVD's. My only problem is the dubbed voice when you enter each menu. It's very childlike and it's obviously the voice for Sakura but I felt I was going to watch a children's animation and this anime is far from that.

I'm glad they offered the series both in dub and in original Japanese with English subtitles for us purists.

A good DVD but disappointed that the story ended like it did with no future episodes planned at this time.

I am sooooo disappointed!
I read a review about Ninja Cadets comparing it to Jubei-chan, and Rurouni Kenshin. Jubei-chan, and Kenshin are my favorite anime! Unfortunately this anime can never live up to them, and I don't want to ever go back to that website ever again to look up reviews before buying anything.

I bought this DVD thinking it would be funny. On the back of this DVD, it says that this Anime is a "Action/Adventure/Comedy". The humor was so dry. Whenever they would try to make a joke, I just stared at the TV with an emotionless face.

This anime is OKAY, but it's NOT great, or one of the best things that I've seen. The story is a little interesting, and if anymore will be released sometime in the future, I wouldn't buy it.. but if someone I know has more of this Anime.. I'll borrow it to see what happened since the OVA left me hanging.

Another note: I usually just watch the Japanese version. I heard part of how the English voices sounded when I watched the bonus material for "Bloopers". HORRIBLE ENGLISH DUB! And the bloopers aren't worth watching either. -_-;;

If you want to see an "Action/Adventure" anime this is OKAY for that (keep in mind that this is only a two episode DVD). But don't buy it if you want to see a Kenshin or Jubei-chan type anime. What I mean by that is... I don't even feel like watching this Anime more than twice even though I bought it (so far it's been only one viewing). It's nothing spectacular.

Potential aplenty
It is a pity that the series was not completed. It has it's problems and at times it is rather anime cliche. But for all that I enjoyed it. The character costumes are well drawn and the characters themselves have potential. Each one has different skills. The heroes look cool and the gals sexy. The action is well done. It is worth a watch, as the series was dropped I am not sure if it is worth buying.
