Most anime’s back in the 90s and 2000s had good budgets because back then it was appreciated more. Most anime’s today don’t have the same care or money put into them. Not to say there aren’t a few gems today that still carry that level of care today.

You do get women who carry heavy stuff on their backs including their child. This might be slightly exaggerated but you can not always estimate the strength of a person just by looking at them. You could have a sixth foot five or 7 ft person who might not be a fighter and could be beaten up but the fact is that they look intimidating to certain people.
I love moments like 1 minute in where the 'veteran' character notices something nobody else does so they do that eye shot to reveal an entire army out in the open
Thanks! Was just thinking how this was similar to Katakuri Circus. Obviously that anime show has only come out recently but this 2000 show clearly had some DNA in common with the old manga. Saw Karakuri Circus free on amazon prime as it came out. Worth watching if you like the concept. Keeps more to the old manga aesthetic. Do however like the look director Hirotoshi Takaya has put on this though. Peak early 00's style and great voice work from Norio Wakamoto and the score sounds like Kaoru Wada (Inuyasha, etc). Will have to give this a watch now.
@@robertcopter5127 mad because what you said makes 0 sense. every anime, the puppeteers control them with their body. otherwise theyre not literal puppets

That manga deserves a much, much, much better anime adaptation that that.

Straight Up! Similar to the Golden Era of HipHop, the Golden Era of anime was in the late '80s/early 90's when everything was still hand-drawn. This new generation of anime that is overly-saturated with CGI computerized animation pales in comparison to traditional hand-drawn anime. You are 100% correct, Kiera. I'm in my early 40's so the nostalgia is VERY REAL!
There is a problem in anime industry, where veteran animators cant effectively teach new animators, plus its not just animation thats good there, effective use of still shots, and striking shot composition can allow anime to be exciting without needing to move as much. Strong directorial voice is what lacks in a lot of today's shows.
I honestly wouldn't have pegged this as a 2000s anime. At latest it looks like something made in the early 90s. Kinda cool to think this kind of non-digital stuff was still being made at the turn of the century.
This da classic. Used to have this on the hard-drive of one of my older laptops that got stolen a few years back. Been lookin for it every since. One of the few early 90's Shinobi Anime that pay homage to Kite Kato who was, in fact, a real-life famed historical Shinobi who was said to be a master of Genjutsu(Illusion techniques), ...so much so that, at an audition for potential hire by Takeda Shingen, Shingen ordered the assassination of Kite after one of his masterful Genjutsu demonstrations instilled fear in Shingen. Takeda's fear was that of: If I don't hire him as my own personal Shinobi, he may utilize that dreadful Genjutsu against me in retaliation. Legend has it that this was Takeda's reasoning for assassinating Kite Kato and Kite went down in Shinobi history with an infamy that rivaled Hattori Hanzo, Sarutobi Sasuke, Momochi Sandayu and Ishikawa Goemon. If yall get the chance, read up on Kite. Dope story.......
OOOOh OOooh!!! I remember this! It has been so long since I seen this. I actually own this. THIS is a niche title that fall into that camp.

This video perfecting sums up what I think every time somebody says something is copying naruto. The way ninjas have been portrade, the music, the sound effects, even a lot of just straight up action anime troupes and style started a long ass time ago. I remembered some video somewhere on youtube was showing how the first season of naruto was copying key frames from the weirdest places like cowboy beebop.
No its a anime Inuyasha.
5:06 shes adorable :3
It's like karakuri circus in all aspects,it is serious but funny
She’s just a cute waifu until she opens the box
And she is ready to bring out some a** whipping.
Sasori would be proud of this girl😍😍😍
Why? This anime is older than Naruto. If anything, Sasori has to call this girl, master.
Having this anime remake quite cool but i always love this original.
She be carrying the anime on her back.
A masterpiece. I..I have to watch this!!!
Wow, her back must be tremendously strong for carrying a gundam all the time.
First time I've seen this anime, wow. I wanna watch thid whole. The old animation was way cooler and realistic than nowadays
3:05
I swear I started getting inuyasha flashbacks and all I could think was Naraku was scheming again~ it's the music
One of the fewer times Norio Wakamoto had a heroic role. Also, check out his eyebrows.
Wow it's amazing. Want to watch it now. The Inuyasha soundtrack, witty dialogue, perfectly blended comedy, badass action. Why haven't I heard of this before?
1:22-1:24 "Ight, so just...kinda slur your words on this one."
"Gotcha."
dont mind me just came for the pantsu shot in the thumb nail lol😊😊😊
Tbh no wonder she klutzy.shes probably used to carrying that giant case.with it gone her balance is altered
One of der best Anime ever.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤
Crazy how they made a whole anime about puppeteering ninjas
Who ever knew this klutzy girl could be such a badass puppet master 😎
She would have made for a fun opponent for kankuro from Naruto to face.
Christ what great animating
Ahhhhhh so nostalgic. I love older classic anime.
Damn, that art style and animation are top notch for that year.
A classic now. Cant believe its been 20 years
"I've been offered a lot for my work. But never everything."
Best way of recommending an anime
My only issue with it was the length. Those puppets were all so dmn cool. It would have been better if this had been a longer movie or a short series.
But even though I have that issue, this anime was amazing
