I think if your looking for good story anime my voat is to get the one that Studio Ghibli made.

They don't really have the hard core action that ninja scroll(this is a full pact samurai action) have, but they can move your heart in different ways.

This is some of their release

Princess Mononoke
Nauseca Vally of the Wind
Laputa Castle in the Sky
Spirited away
Grave of the Fireflies
Totoro

and a lot more
