I've never seen Ninja Resurrection, but yeah, it most certainly is *NOT* a sequel to Ninja Scroll. It's actually an animated version of the classic Jubei Yagyu films, a character made famous by Sonny Chiba. The US VHS release of Ninja Resurrection advertised it as a sequel to Ninja Scroll while that bit was fixed for the DVD release.
I've only seen one Jubei Yagyu film, "Makai Tensou: Samurai Reincarnation", which was alright. I think it's the last one Chiba did before they replaced him with a younger actor.
