I think the most obvious warning with this anime is that it's not for those who are faint of heart or who are looking to be intellectually stimulated. As with many ADV titles it's full of graphic violence as well as the lone sex scene at the end. There isn't really that much that is wrong with a show full of sex and violence as long as the show has a half-decent plot and some other redeeming qualities; unfortunately Ninja Resurrection has neither.

The plot for the most part is nonexistent. It was basically just an excuse so the animators could have a bunch of people being torn to bits. Also even the weird Christian prophecy plot element that was supposed to add some intrigue comes off as being incredibly hockey.

The dubbing was bad. And not a good bad either. As usual the extras were terrible and most of the main characters were wooden. Also no one could pronounce 'Tokugawa.' They pronounced it as Tow-koo-gu-wha and not Tow-koh-gaw-wah. Also the dialogue was pretty trite. It made some Van Dam movies sound like Shakespeare.

All in all, the animation was pretty good, but at times became lazy. The kind of animation where they just use still pictures instead of doing any animation at all. Most of it was just people getting hacked to pieces and blood spurting out. The gore was about as absurd as that of 'Ninja Scroll' but didn't have people shooting out geysers of blood whenever they were cut. 'Ninja Scroll' however had a decent plot and good animation.

Even the action scenes, which make up most of the Anime, were boring; and I'm a guy who likes action. It gets tiring seeing about five people effortlessly gutting masses of poorly armed Christians. How can an untrained and lightly armored Christian soldier be able to take on a ninja commando who is carrying a bazooka and another one who has a suit of armor that transforms into a jet.

In the end this is something that I don't recommend to anybody. Maybe it would have been better if it had a giant robot in it, probably not. But if you want something that has nothing but blood, gore and violence that this anime is for you. If you want something to numb your mind and make you want to demand the forty-five minutes of your life back that you wasted by watching this anime, then this is definitely for you.
