Tokyo, A.D. 2190. Demons have over run the city, only a nameless ninja from a secret clan has the chance to save humanity from its pending extinction.
----------
Fully Japanese voice overed and English subtitled.
Editing and cutting of footages done entirely in AMM. No external footage editing at all.
Custom contents are created by myself using photoshop, then imported into The Movies as backdrops. The custom animation is done by cutting thse custom backdrops to a split second. Combined them and an animation is on :)
Opening music tune created by myself using midi tools.
Also I used Magix to alter my voices, and speed up one of The Movies's original music.
---------
Same as English, Japanese isn't my first langurage, please forgive me if I have made severe grammer mistakes :P
---------
This was inspired by Japanese shinobi movies, and animes.
Have fun ^_^.
--------
done on 22nd Nov. This is my 3rd The Movies release.

edited : haha, I see some people have questions on about "the day has come" part in the movie, I actually put it in there as a little joke. If you have watched some of the Japanese ninja movies or animes, they sometimes have a plot like : "Oh! You are the savior! You will save us all! You must face the trial, because it's you destiny to do so!"
So, yeah, it's a little "insider" joke :P
---------
The "Why would ninjas have cellphone!?" answer :)
Well, it's year 2190, even ninjas should enjoy some hi-tech shouldnt they? :P :P
Even in our current world, monks, priests, solders, martial artists use cellphones too! :P
A mixture of "hi-tech" and "ancient" style was in my mind when I cut this scene in ^_^, heavily influenced by the anime Naruto's sense of world.

This is excellent! actually I have to say thank you to Josh that your movie actually inspired me for making a custom mobs of my own films. Way of the Ninja - Creative, Powerful, Unique!
For the little bit downside was the VO seems abit too loud, and the film is quite short which is unable to explore much of the storyline. Keep it up!

From Critic's Corner hosts Jeremiah and Dr. Googlestien
Great little spoof off a horror movie mixed with great action ninjas. It reminds me of Godzilla and how Tokyo people are scared of big monsters like that. I really thought this was going to be a great movie and it lived up to it most definently. This has got a chance of really being a great series. It came out better than I thought. Great action scene and voice-over work. A unique Japanessee movie receives a rare four stars from us. It would have been great had it been long though.

It is a bit corny so... it is between a 4 and a 5 for me.
You got style! I'll bookmark your studio.
P.S. Please rate my movie, The Way Things Go

Good Stuff.
Something original here. Shows off the variety that the engine can produce with a bit of creative editing.

This movie was the best movie I've seen on the community. This movie rocks!
And the voiceovers were great, are you japaneese? I hope your going to make a longer movie.

Nice one! the Japanese (and very good) VO really added to this film too.
too bad the ending was a bit too chaotic to follow, and rendered too dark by The Movies...

Ok now first things first this was AWESOME the story wasn't very original i must admit but i loved the japanese voice-over for this alone without any moving pictures or music or sound effects i would have given you 5 stars then the music great and the opening credits but the one thing that really knocked me of my chair was the ninjitsu sequence where he kills the werewolf it reminded me of naruto on of my favorite anime series
I'm looking forward for a second part and a third and a fourth and a fifth and..

Wooow! Amazing movie here! The japanese voice is really cool! But you lose one star because the movie is waaaaay too short... Why you dont made the fight more longer ? You have a huge potential!
Story : 3/5 It's too short...
Voice : 5/5 I understand nothing... But it's normal... It's a japanese movie! :P
Music : 5/5 Good music!
Editing : 4/5 Good editing with some minors issues
Continue like this man! You have a great potential!
