Wrath of the Ninja : The Yotoden Movie
When I was sent this movie I had no idea what it was.  It was the first anime I've ever seen, and to me personally, a very good start to a growing anime obsession.  Everything else has followed this one. 

Wrath of the Ninja is actually a condensed version of a 3 part OAV series, 3 hours long as compared to the movie's 2 hours.  That would explain why some of the movie seems a bit out of place.  But even condensed and edited this movie is excellent.  I can't wait to get ahold of those three full episodes.  I have the synopsis for those episodes
here.
The OAV Episodes
"Two gods will illuminate the heavens when the mysterious star becomes the King of the Heavens"
- Ranmaru
Wrath of the Ninja tells the story of three Ninjas, each carrying a sacred weapon representing each of the three schools of Ninja.  It is said these three weapons, when brought together, will banish evil.  Battling against Nobunaga Oda and Ranmaru's host of Oboro, these three Ninjas set out to face their destiny... but it is really destiny?
