Their finest assassin is a man named Hayate Kanuma, whose father leads the Shinogara. Hayate, however, knows that the secret society's control over Japan is wrong. Sacrificing his own safety, Hayate kills his father. Now he's on the run, safe almost nowhere from his vengeful former comrades except perhaps for the one hiding place he decides upon: his sister. After possibly being fatally wounded, Hayate is able to transfer his soul into his sister's body, temporarily sharing it with her. His sister, Shiori, can awaken Hayate and call upon his ninja abilities when the Shinogara are close at hand but each time she does so, a little more of her true self is lost. This arrangement can't possibly go on forever, so how will Hayate finally defeat the Shinogara?

Tons of kick-ass ninja action, characters in super-powered suits that look cool as hell (think Ronin Warriors dialed up to 11), a very brisk pace, two factions going to war over the fate of the earth, a couple of twists that actually surprised me, appealing animation... this is just an all-around solid watch for anyone that enjoys stuff from this period of anime. I'm sort of bummed I didn't see it back in the '90s as a young teenager, as I know for a fact this would have been right up my alley and would be... one I carried a lot of nostalgia for these days.
