Ok, so basilisk and shinobi are basically the same in terms of storyline and what it's based on (the manga) So i was wondering which should i watch? the movie shinobi or the anime series. if i watch the movie i'm afraid it misses out important points due to the short amount of time, but if i watch the anime it'll take a long time to download and if they're both the same i should just watch the movie right? so i'm asking whoever has watched both or either, which is more worth watching. Arigato kuzaimasu for you help!

Meh, the anime series was ok. Havent heard much about the live action movie, but I am sure a lot was left out, and considering live action movies usually suck, I suggest that you just go with the anime.

All my favorite characters died off early, so this anime kind of pissed me off. And it was kind of hard to tell who was on which side sometimes.

ok, cool though i'm abit confused with the anime, are the first and second episode connected or the first episode a preview of the ending episodes?

Watch the anime first because it the movie doesn't follow the story much. Even some of the characters have different powers
