The comic adventures of Jiyu "Jubei" Nanohana, a high school girl who transforms into the reincarnation of legendary warrior Yagyu Jubei, reach a protracted conclusion in these final episodes. Kendo champion Shiro is possessed by the spirit of Daiyu Taiko Ryujoji, who was defeated by Yagyu Jubie 300 years ago, precipitating the centuries-long vendetta. Jubei defeats the possessed Shiro, but the evil spirit escapes, announcing he will continue the feud. In a surprisingly deft ending, writer-director Akitaroh Daichi has Jubie's scatter-brained father use his skills as a writer to devise a way to destroy Daiyu and free his daughter from her transformation curse. Although the romance between Mikage and Jubie's father ends before it really begins, there's plenty of room for sequels. "Unrefined" boss Bantaro and the martial artist twins Shiro and Hajime still nurture crushes on Jubei, the mysterious blonde Otome is lurking in the wings, and Koinusuke just might return. Best of all Jubei has matured, and the whiny ditz of episode 1 has grown into an appealing young woman. Contains these episodes: 11. "But the Path Curves Ahead," 12. "I Had Met a Daughter That I Never Knew," 13. "Night Gave Way to a Brand New Day." Unrated: Suitable for ages 13 and up for violence and occasional sexual humor. --Charles Solomon

Jubei-Chan.......2001-03-20
Jubei-Chan is a... um... well it's ceartainly interesting! This series will have you rolling on the floor with it's absolute weirdness! A young girl named jubei is approached by a 300 year old samurai who asks her to wear a heart shaped eye patch. When she does she gains the power of an ancient samurai master and has to defeat this master's enemies who still want to defeat him after 300 years. If you like anime comedies like Dragon-Half and Ranma1/2 you'll love this series. If you're not a comedy fan however I really wouldn't bother with this one and instead head for a little series called Fushugi Yugi.
What more can you say of Jubei-chan.......2001-02-08
If you've made it to the fourth disc, then you'll already know what you think of the anime. If you ended up here by mistake, know this: Jubei-chan is incredible. It is not the mindless sex and gore of many anime (read Ninja Scroll), but it doesn't tkae itself as seriously as some of the epics (read Lain).
Jubei-chan makes a good balance of graphic, character, and humor. It can only be described as a masterpiece.
