If you look it up in the encyclopedia here you can see some user ratings on it. The page also has a link to a website that has some info about it.

[sarcasm] If you liked Ninja Scroll you should check out it's awesome sequel, Ninja Ressurection. [/sarcasm]
I kind of liked Devil Man, that was dark and violent, maybe you should try and check that out.

If you like Ninja Scroll, I think you should really check out Wicked City. It's from the same guy that did Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D & Bloodlust. Since you mentioned Ninja Scroll, you might also want to check out the new Ninja Scroll tv series. IMO, it's was a little bit of a letdown for it to be a tv series. I don't really think the words Ninja Scroll and t.v. really go too good together. After I got over the content being watered down for television (it's still 17&up), I found myself liking what was in it though.

You should be able to get part one in any decent movie store. Part two will be out soon. I think there's only three disk in all, so it won't cost that much money for a series to get into.

Ninja Scroll (Movie). The movie still looks great even in this day and age of CGI. The television series doesn't have a dark feeling to it, but I've only watched the first DVD.

Hellsing. Here's a dark series that is also fun. Alucard is just a badass with big gun and I cheer him on for it. It might not be sword play like Berserk, but you should still check it out.
