Well, I'm not going to give blow-by-blow details of what goes on in Ninja Scroll. However, I can list some of the bad things which happen:
An entire rape scene
Full Frontal Nudity
LOADS of blood/gore/violence
So ya... It is not too recommended from this person who shut it off after the first five minutes (that's how long it takes #1 to happen....).
Ninja Scroll - not for the faint of heart.

Yes, Ninja Scroll is indeed considered one of the anime Hardcore classics. Along with Akira, the amount of bloodshed, betrayal, scenes of senseless violence and massacre is quite much for the standard anime viewer. One might say the amount of killing and blood/gore is realistic, whereas in my honest opinion, it goes a bit overboard. I've seen it 3 times all the way through, and it is quite disturbing. I'll advise you - if you DO eat something, try eating it AFTER watching, not before. Other than that, I wont spoil it for you.
Good Luck.. I guess.

[font=Arial][size=84]An entire rape scene
Commited by supposed christians.The anti christian elements go farther than that... a priest turns into a huge demonic monster...christians are portrayed as weak, gullable people that cower in the corner in a case of attack and let a magic using person fight for them.[/size][/font]

Ignoring the troll, I will list the objectionable content found in Ninja Scroll:
1.A girl is indeed raped; in fact, two different girls are raped
2.Christians are badly misrepresented, especially their leader, who uses the "power of God" as if it were magic.
3.The gore is definitely over the top, and unnecessary. How unnecessary? Well in one scene, an undead assassin stabs himself repeatedly with a knife for no apparent reason. I would call that unnecessary.
4.There is graphic nudity coupled with gore and violence.
I have seen the entire film twice, so I am not just making this up. I realize that some of the things I said are spoilers, but they are purely for illustrative purposes, as I do not recommed this anime to anyone. In addition to the content mentioned above, it has no real plot; thus it really has no redeeming qualities.

Oh, that...^^ I just got on and I'm in stealth mode. Shh, don't tell the trolls...
For future ref, if you ever see a troll, PM all the admins at once. One of them will be along shortly to clean up the mess.
