These are real ninjas. Naruto may be fun but they aren't ninjas. I enjoy action anime like Naruto, bleach, yu yu hakusho, tri gun, dragon ball z, and so on but the whole the good guys always win thing gets kinda old. Basilisk has no good guys, just two sides that want to kill each other. The story I have heard described as "like Romeo and Juliet...but with ninja" and it works. In my opinion Basilisk is one of the best anime out there and has one of the best endings.
I just bought it myself...I support the official release.
