Editorial Review:
Improbable as it sounds, perky junior high student Jiyu "Jubei" Nanohana is the reincarnation of the legendary samurai Yagyu Jubei. When she puts on the fabled Lovely Eye Patch, she becomes a devastating swordswoman. Yagyu's loyal retainer Koinusuke, who's spent the last 300 years seeking the Patch's ordained recipient, insists she assume this new identity and its attendant responsibilities--including a 300-year-old vendetta with the Ryujoji clan. Jubei has mixed feelings about this legacy, as she does about the romantic attentions of elegant Kendo champion Shiro and gleefully "unrefined" Bantaro. Shiro's scheming brother, Hajime Ryujoji, hopes to realize an ancient plot to rule Japan "by the sword." Mikage, who attacked Jubei in an earlier episode, returns to reveal the secret of the Eye Patch: warriors struck with Yagyu Jubei's sword receive no wounds, but discover their true hearts. Jubei uses this knowledge to free Hajime from his clan's ancient grudge. But Shiro is possessed by the spirit of Daiyu Taiko Ryujoji, who was defeated by Yagyu Jubei 300 years ago, precipitating the centuries-long vendetta. In a surprisingly deft ending, writer-director Akitaroh Daichi has Jubie's perennially distracted father use his skills as a writer to devise a way to destroy Daiyu and free his daughter from the Lovely Eye Patch. As a result of her adventures, Jubei matures: the ditzy whiner in episode 1 grows into an appealing young woman. (Unrated: suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, minor risqué humor) --Charles Solomon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not a "smart" anime, no....
Other reviewers have been ragging on this title quite heavily. I agree - if you are looking for a historical-based, deep plotted, good art styled anime about martial arts, then look somewhere else.
However, I really enjoyed Jubei-chan. It was more of a spoof of anime than anything else. Some moments of drama, but mostly poking fun at the serious martial art types of anime. The characters are goofy, and it is a bit racy at times, so its definately not for kids under 15 or so.

Rating:  - No no no! Ninja's here!
If you actually looking for ninja's in this anime by the end of this anime you either feel stupid or really angry. This is not based on any ninja's what so ever besides one which they made fun off. Which was Hattori Hanzo. How dare they mock such a great man like that. There is actually one charcter you might actually like in this story. He dies at the begin of the series. Yet and afterwards its a story going downhill that can't stick to the plot. Some people might call this comedy but i just call ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed
The first time I heard of Jubei-chan: Secret of the Lovely Eye patch I thought it sounded pretty cool. I mean who wouldn't like an action/adventure romance of a girl who can transform into a kick-ass ninja? However I was sorely disappointed. Not only was the plot line shaky and the voice acting terrible but what really hits the nail on the head was Jubei's character. She is completely empty of emotion whatsoever, in both ninja and ordinary girl form. She has an empty-headed trait that really gets annoying. ... Read More
Rating:  - great action
The main conflict of this story is between two rival Japanese sword schools: the Yagyu Jubei school and the Ryujoji school. The rivalry was seemingly ended 300 years ago when Yagyu Jubei defeated the Ryujoji champion.
Rating 13 up: minor risque humor, violence
Rating:  - Pure Garbage! No stars from me if it was possible.
I am aware that these reviews are based on one's opinion but how anyone says this anime is good is beyond me. This show is based on a legendary samurai who's power and skill is passed on to a teenage girl in the form of an eye patch. The story is interesting but the execution is horrible. Everyone is focused on the young girls good looks to include the father. It took me 2 months to sit through this. I am a fan of the exaggerated faces of surprise and anger but this was too much. If you're new to anime ... Read More
