Ninja Slayer

" Bradley Bond & Philip Ninj@ Morzez"'s light novel series Ninja Slayer is going to be adapted by studio Trigger.

Synopsis:
The "cyberpunk ninja action drama" is set in the near-
future city of Neo Saitama and follows Fujikido Kenji, a
salaryman whose wife and children were killed in a ninja
battle. Thus, he became a ninja slayer, devoted to killing
all ninja to avenge his family.


The American creators, "Bradley Bond and Philip Ninj@
Morzez," gave permission to a team to translate and post
the story piecemeal on Twitter. After the story grew in
popularity, Enterbrain published the first Japanese-
translated volume in print, Ninja Slayer: Neo Saitama in
Flames, in September 2012. The story then inspired three
comic adaptations from Enterbrain and Kodansha, as well
as a audio drama with Toshiyuki Morikawa as the title character.

The "American writers" are fabrication by the Japanese "translators", who are the real authors of the series.

The series itself is a parody of Western stereotypes on Japanese ninja.

[Birdway]

Thats why the " " is often used to describe the authors.

Akira Amemiya (Inferno Cop) set to direct. Teaser coming July 6th.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-03/inferno-cop-amemiya-to-direct-trigger-ninja-slayer-anime/.76291

So.... no, not real ninja. Completely opposite of real ninja. - Basically, it's this

26 episode for this serie (15 minutes each one): http://ninjaslayer-animation.com/news/150411_04.html

[Stark700]

Episode 1:
Meh...that wasn't as good as I had hoped for. I mean, action was okay I guess and Ninja Slayer's on-screen debut had some impressions. Just felt animation style was odd although I can't say I'm surprised by it and its similarity in the style because of the director.

ED song seems kinda decent at least though.

[RRW]

as expected slightly higher budget inferno cops

[SilverSyko]

Seeing as this is a web animation and not a full-fledged TV series I'm way more forgiving of the low budget animation and short episode lengths. This feels more like a Trigger side-project of sorts. In fact I got a few laughs out of the extremely simplistic animation. I think the art style looks really damn cool and I find the OP song not half bad either.

I'm sufficiently entertained.~

[AntonKutovoi]

Meh, I expected something bigger then the Second Coming of Inferno Cop. Probably have no one but myself to blame.

[ookamigirl]

Did not expect something like this.
The art is weird.
My eyes actually hurt from all the colors..
Skipping..

[MartianMage]

A slideshow... with some random animation...

[darkchibi07]

Did not expect something like this.
The art is weird.
My eyes actually hurt from all the colors..
Skipping..

It's literally Inferno Cop S2, and I don't mind one bit! :heh:

Now the question is how sustainable the style will be in the long run.

[Tactics]

It's literally Inferno Cop S2, and I don't mind one bit! :heh:

I'm surprised with Trigger using Inferno Cop animation style.

If its an original, I wouldn't ask why-- But this is an adaptation, isn't it? At least they should make it better ...

:heh:

[Fellen]

The opening and ending had more animation than the episode itself. Also those explosions slayed me.

[Chichiryuushintei]

Inferno Cop, but instead of Ghost Rider it has Ninjas.

I love it.

[rickiminato]

the animation sucks a lot

[Elestia]

YEEEEEARRT!

I'll watch a couple more to see where it goes....

[Sides]

Brilliant show. I couldn't stop laughing. This series will be my benchmark that other shows have to measure up to, for this year.

[Flower]

Wellll.

Not my cup of tea. Will skip for now.

[Dawnstorm]

Wellll.

Not my cup of tea. Will skip for now.

Sayonaraaaaa. *explodes*

(Seriously: I'm undecided. Leaning towards skipping it, too, but there's something I can't put my finger on that might make this worthwhile yet. Some more episodes before it's final.)

[Asuras]

YYYYYEAAART.

Well that was unexpected. I honestly was hoping for a bit more effort.

[Master_Yoma]

This feels like something that belongs of Adult Swim

[cupumanager]

DOMO HAJIMEMASHITE, NINJA SLAYER-SAN

*silence*

This is, hands down, The Anime of The YEEEART

However, Is this just gonna be Inferno Cop 2.0, or be something more? This can get old real quick...meaning its pointless to keep watching if it would be the case

*silence*

SAYONARA
*explodes*

[IceHism]

This is one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

Like seriously, how can you compete with this?

http://i.4cdn.org/a/1429225194663.jpg

[DidCart]

This feels like something that belongs of Adult Swim

The same feeling I had while I watched the first episode. This show has the look and feel of an Adult Swim show. Look at that explosions!

Nonetheless it is definitely not a show for everyone and probably most people are not gonna enjoy it. If you get into its craziness you are probably gonna enjoy it a lot since it is a show that all the time plays with what you expect and what you really get.

I really don't know if it can sustain itself on the long run. For me it works better as a one time gag, but we will see...

[kenjiharima]

Wow...the animation is only good when it needs to be good fo budget reasons perhaps?
Either way it's a fresh new look, but as mentioned on previous comments it's similar to Inferno Cop. I've watched Inferno Cop and it seems this is a lot better than ala South Park flat animation they pulled there.

I'm really intrigue more on the story on this one, but it's really hilarious when you get those slide show animation. Needs more episodes to know where this is going. 8/10.

Also don't forget the Figma Ninja Slayer! It's really badass.

[SinsI]

The most disappointing show of this spring...

[Benigmatica]

Episode 1:
Man, this Trigger anime is so bad that it's so damn good! Still, it's sucks that I'll have to wait for 2 weeks for the next episode (or wait for 2016 for a proper TV anime).

[PreSage]

Was not expecting something like this. Animation was so bad, it was funny,but I don't think I can watch any more episodes like this. I'm going to pass on this one.

[Gan_HOPE326]

I have to say, I liked Inferno Cop a lot, but this had at the same time a lower rate of jokes and a longer runtime, so it packed less of a punch to me. In addition, the fact that they DID use some good animation in fights kind of kills the "powerpoint animation" joke too. Dunno. It just feels like Inferno Cop except with less guts to go all the way. I don't know how it can hold for one season.

[DragoonKain3]

My biggest beef with this is that they claimed to have this to be only 15 minutes because of lots of action scenes, which was true I guess. But seriously, with the 'bad' animation, I thought they would've been able to make this a full episode in its own right.

Otherwise, pretty funny actually. YYEAAARRT!

[Kanon]

I was expecting an anime with proper animation and a stupid premise executed seriously (kind of like Afro Samurai), not Inferno Cop 2.0. This is just plain shit. Never dropped anything this fast.

[Master Assassin]

I kind of had a good laugh at the way they "animated" the thing. Well, I'll just say there's a need for a break against all those commonly excellent animations, if I may say so. :heh:

Also for a low-score ranker it boasts one hell of a soundtrack. Liked the one where Fujiki-- err, Ninja Slayer was running through the highways eating sushi. And that scene was hilarious I just can't stop replaying it. :heh:

[Tong]

1 episode is barely enough to judge a series.
Maybe the slideshow animations are just for fun and the next ones get normal and proper animations? It's Trigger, you never know!

[Birdway]

First half was soso with the slide thing, second half was better until that last bit with the slide thing.

[Maxulous]

The collectively affronted reactions to Ninja Slayer is proof that people take anime way too seriously.

[dniv]

Okay, this show is going to be amazing. :eyespin:

Thank you Trigger. Just keep on doing... your thing. :heh:

[Myssa Rei]

Oh my god. XD It both met my expectations, and exceeded it in some ways.

Who cares if it's almost Flash-level animation? I was laughing through it due to how ridiculous the premise was.

[kenjiharima]

I just hope only the dialogue scene would contain the stiff animations, but the main fighting and other scenes should be well animated as seen in if serious the animation is pretty darn badass.

Also my new word add to my vocabulary YEAAARRT!!!

[Theo]

That was a bunch of hot garbage. It's diarrhea in cartoon form.

And no, it's not even a guilty pleasure.

[Master Assassin]

For those who might be interested in the source material, I just made a thread for it in the Manga/LN section.

I kind of gained some understanding why Trigger made it the way it is, but I have to admit they could've given it a... kinder treatment by giving it some serious animation. Well, from what I heard that will come sometime around next year, but I guess for now let's just watch it for the fun of it shall we? :heh:

(At least I now know the name of that blonde biker chick in the OP and what she does in the story. :heh: )

[Goty]

Well, from what I heard that will come sometime around next year, but I guess for now let's just watch it for the fun of it shall we? :heh:

So the tv version will have new animation? Is that confirmed?
Well, i understand why they wouldn't air something like this on tv. :heh:

[TJR]

So the tv version will have new animation? Is that confirmed?
Well, i understand why they wouldn't air something like this on tv. :heh:

No, they've mentioned something about a 2016 TV broadcast, but there are no concrete details. For all we know, it might be a mere joke (and will never happen....at the end of the day, the main purpose of their announcement was to stress their emphasis on modern viewing habits and delivery methods) or a slightly enhanced version.

The video discs go on sale soon, so this seems to be the real thing. It's obviously an attempt to monetize the overseas hype around Inferno Cop (which caused quite a stir but was never designed to make money....IIRC, Trigger even tried to bait a reaction from Americans by hinting at a hypothetical Inferno Cop 2 at AX 2014. Turns out they had nothing planned on that end, and it was a ruse to get people anticipating something on social media, etc.), and the global streaming strategy seems intended to promote a similar stir.

[Stark700]

Had to laugh at some of the action scenes again but damn, is it me or does Ninja Slayer looked fired up this episode? In that raging way.

[Sides]

EP2 is so hilarious. "INDUSTRY!"
Just noticed that the series is plastered with ads

[AntonKutovoi]

I liked the second episopde, although 12 minutes is too long, I guess - I tired a little at the end.

[moodie]

this was made for inferno cop fans in mind and i love it

[GDiddy]

This is the most stupidest show ever and worse than that crappy vampire detective anime.....


I. Am. Sold.

I find myself seriously grinning like an idiot over this show and its ridiculousness. This was MADE for someone like Adult Swim or FXX..:heh:


YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRTTT! INDUSTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!

[Birdway]

Oh god, that "INDUSTRY!!!" caught me off guard I laughed :heh:.

[Shadow5YA]

I do wish this had real animation instead of Inferno Cop flash, but given the content I guess Trigger couldn't have expected it to sell in Japan anyway.

Still hilarious nonetheless :heh:

[Master_Yoma]

For Ninjas wanting to kill each other there reather polite about meeting each other

[Chichiryuushintei]

This is a masterpiece of art. I'm glad it's not biweekly like some rumours said. Definitely gonna watch until the end. AOTC is right in front of us.

[Benigmatica]

EP2 is so hilarious. "INDUSTRY!"
Just noticed that the series is plastered with ads

Well, at least it's not changed to something like "KODAWAKA" and "BEST SMILE", nor having the usual "this program is brought you by the following sponsors..." cliche right after that awesome opening scene.

Anyways, it's still ridiculous for Studio Trigger to make Ninja Slayer!

[DragoonKain3]

"Turn brain off" fun, I like it. Also helps that eps 2 has less flash animation and more movement.

[dniv]

Wow, I''m really getting used to the style.

This feels very Triggeresque. They have got this one down.

I am actually pretty intrigued by this show to be honest.

The unique style that they are building up for through their animation really feels distinct even if it is an adaptation.

Hmm... this is really good. I think I'm going to like this possible even more than Kill la Kill as this goes on.

I'm surprised this is actually working.

I just realized that this really ISN'T bad animation. It's really hard to come up with the idea of giving this sort of style a very consistent feel. It's very interesting... I have to say...

Also, to advertise better you need more explosions... looooooooooool.

[kenjiharima]

ep.2 YEEEAAARRRT! WASHOI!!!

Seems they heard and listened to the fans, the still animations are now less only a total of 5 scenes. When they got into the limo that was hilarious! :heh: first boss fight intro, running, second boss fight, power up mode and rematch.

Well the animation style is awesome when it needs to be awesome and the sudden still animations is kinda hilarious. This is entertainment, not to be taken too seriously, but it's story is indeed serious.


Can't wait for episode.3 ordered the figma!

[Birdway]

Expecting a live action directed by Michael Bay.

[MisaoFan]

I'm really not sure what to think of this. Let's start with the positive things: the series knows how to prioritize the fight scenes with wacky yet consistent animation, the color palette fit the tone and there's some instances of black humor in the midst of a serious story. On the negative side, I don't really like how the non-battle scenes are portrayed, I mean I get that this is from the director of Inferno Cop considering his stylistic direction choice, the big difference is that the latter doesn't take itself seriously, had little plot and provides focus on random stuff through the use of comedy, something that Ninja Slayer fails to do.

My impressions towards this series is similar to Samurai Flamenco, a series riddled with mixed aspects regarding the story and characters but still entertaining regardless. I actually laughed at some scenes, particularly the slideshow parts even if I feel sad it's not the way it was handled. I'll keep watching and then look forward to the special edition airing next year in case anyone wants to watch a version that's guaranteed to be fully animated.

[Sides]

Nooooo!
Too much story and animation in episode 4, i'm disappointed :/

[Birdway]

Hmm, I'm curious about this Yukano girl now...pretty sure she will be appearing quite a bit this season and I want to know the true extent of her new powers.

http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/05f249285a9b4c6901a0a861e67f6ed11430405662_full.pn g
Yukano? She didn't appear in this episode yet and I doubt she will in this arc.

[Stark700]

Yeah, got the name wrong, I get confused sometimes with names. Well anyways, entertaining episode...in a way.

[Birdway]

trying to introduce a story in episode 4...don't think the series can handle it

[tuckersister]

I want to see Yamato's first meeting with Ninja Slayer. I wonder did it go.

[DragoonKain3]

Nooooo!
Too much story and animation in episode 4, i'm disappointed :/
Took the words out of my mouth. I mean sure, there was only one scene with 'flash animation', but Ninja Slayer is best when it's over-the-top. :/

best sub. truly grabbing the essence on ninja anime

[Benigmatica]

Wait, so we got two ninjas emerged by being bumped in the head hard? Wow, this is so sugoi!

[MrTerrorist]

So the Ninja school girl finally makes her appearance.

[tuckersister]

I think that old man is an actual ninja, not a person with a ninja soul.

[kenjiharima]

from twitter

http://i.imgur.com/0Vw47PU.jpg

still watching episode.3 at the moment

[GDiddy]

Wait. What trickery is this? Is this the beginnings of a plot I see?

Yamato= the Ryuko Matoi of this series?

[kenjiharima]

Ok just watched episode.3

Wow they're toning down the still animations only a couple now. One is the school gang raid and the other is the jail scene.


From the beginning it was a rape scene and Yamato became a ninja similar to our protagonist. Yamato and the other guy now named Suicide because he committed suicide and landed on Yamato, interestingly there are two dead ninja spirits that possessed them.


Very interesting plot line wonder how will this tie in Ninja Slayer?

[Master Assassin]

Just a minor nitpick, guys - her name is Yamoto. O, not A.

That said, we're done with her arc in 2 episodes. I'm still struggling to recall what's going to be the next since I read it a bit (the manga they post on Twitter).

[tuckersister]

Yamato and Ninja Slayer fighting together was awesome. Hopefully they will cross paths again. I think Nancy will be in the next episode. She has tendency of following Ninja Slayer.

[Master_Yoma]

Finely Ninja Slayer shows up in a cool way eating ramen

[Shadow5YA]

"buddha fuck" :heh:

[MrTerrorist]

Just when i was thinking the anime will finally stop using paper cut outs during episode 4, the fight scene happens.

[GDiddy]

This episode was going so smoothly until 'OOPS We're back at the South Park school of animation'

Ninja Slayer gets a sidekick.

Yamoto =definitely the Ryuko

'YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT'

Buddha f**k

[Benigmatica]

Sad that Punk Ninja Suicide got killed by a Soukaiya Ninja, but at least he saved Yamoto-san from joining the dark side!

[Maxulous]

Insert generic overpowered school girl and suddenly this show forgets its raison d'etre.

Punk Ninja will be missed (why couldn't he be the one to survive?).

[kenjiharima]

Ep.4 seems they have a budget for Yamato-san for the animation, but whenever it's Ninja Slayer we are South Parked animation in the fight scenes yet again. :heh: Didn't laugh at any of the scenes today since it was a bit of a serious episode, though the BuddaFuck and slurping made me grin.

BuddaFuck, Yeeeeaaaaarrrrtttt!, Origami Pysic blasts, Afro Guy still alive, henchmen clones and most importantly explosions! Not the most entertaining episode, but one of the most interesting one.

WTF?! She killed her parents?!

[MrTerrorist]

So episode 5 is about workers going on strike at a Tofu Factory, which unknown to them is part of the Soukai Syndicate's revenge against the factory who refuses to join their group.

[AntonKutovoi]

I felt this was the weakest episode so far.

[DragoonKain3]

I concur. Too much plot, not enough YEEEART!

[kenjiharima]

Ep.5

FIRST EVER EPISODE WITHOUT THE SOUTH PARK/SLIDE SHOW ANIMATION! I'm VERY impressed! I knew if the animation with Ninja Slayer was like this from the start it would be awesome and not entertainingly funny. Well we got the killer of his family and they just started fighting, man damn cliffhanger with a nonsense side character.

All episodes should be more like this, great interesting story, action pack scenes and lots of YEEEAARRT!!!

Actually, there is some traces of cheap animation like the mob going up and down as if they're running.

On the other hand, I'm hyped to see Ninja Slayer taking on Dark Ninja next week!

[kenjiharima]

That is a bit forgivable and not really noticeable and they can get away with it since it's not Ninja Slayer and the baddies who are getting the south park treatment the minor characters are.

Same here they better not half ass the Ninja Slayer and Dark Ninja fight, I'm hoping it will still have the flashy animations and not the slide show.

[Sides]

Yay, finally back to simple animation fights and cheap jokes!
Will Ninja Slayer survive the banzai nuke!?!.. guess we have to wait for next week

[Stark700]

That's a pretty big cliffhanger wow.

Still following this series as I'm getting more interested in it now with the recent episodes.

[Shadow5YA]

Someone needs to make a gif of the part where Ninja Slayer is spinning with his head in place :heh:

[bakato]

How did I not notice Yukano's huge bust in the op?!

[kenjiharima]

ep.6 WTF?! What happened to continuity? They shifted to another battle or we can go on ahead and say Ninja Slayer defeated Dark Ninja? I'm confused?!!

Either way the South Park animation is back, if I'm piecing it right the opening when Ninja Slayer got injured he fought the Dragon Dojo and was taken care off.

Also cliffhanger?! YEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRTTTTT!!!!!

and yes Yukano reminds me of Kazumi's alternate costume in DOA with a longer hair style. Also all the budget gone to the animate Yukano? lol :heh:

[tuckersister]

Ninja Slayer already knew Gendoso in the episode. He said that Gendoso saved him twice. The next episode will be a flashback of how he met Gendoso and Yukano.

[Birdway]

and yes Yukano reminds me of Kazumi's alternate costume in DOA with a longer hair style. Also all the budget gone to the animate Yukano? lol :heh:
In the novels design she looked more like Mai Shiranui in ninja clothing.

[kenjiharima]

In the novels design she looked more like Mai Shiranui in ninja clothing.

Really? That is interesting, after the anime I'll take a peek on the novels since pretty much the budget of the animation goes to all the girls in this anime. :heh:

[Benigmatica]

ep.6 WTF?! What happened to continuity? They shifted to another battle or we can go on ahead and say Ninja Slayer defeated Dark Ninja? I'm confused?!!

This week's episode didn't say about the battle between Ninja Slayer and Dark Ninja.

On the other hand, Ninja Slayer spinning his body like a helicopter (while having his head remain stationary) makes SHAFT Head Tilt looked pale in comparison!

[quigonkenny]

ep.6 WTF?! What happened to continuity? They shifted to another battle or we can go on ahead and say Ninja Slayer defeated Dark Ninja? I'm confused?!!
"Continuity"? What is this "continuity" you speak of, and why in the world would you expect to find it in this series?

Seriously, though, read the tone of the series. I had to shake my head at all the people last week who were going on about how great it was that we'd see Ninja Slayer versus DarkNinja this week, and how awesome that would be, because I knew that as disjointed a series as this is, there was almost no chance that they would indeed give us the payoff of that meeting this week. Continuity-wise, I fully expect this series to make Space Dandy look like Death Note.

This week's episode didn't say about the battle between Ninja Slayer and Dark Ninja.

On the other hand, Ninja Slayer spinning his body like a helicopter (while having his head remain stationary) makes SHAFT Head Tilt looked pale in comparison!


Battle or budget to animate it? :heh:

Seriously though I was really looking forward to the fight... :frustrated:


"Continuity"? What is this "continuity" you speak of, and why in the world would you expect to find it in this series?

Seriously, though, read the tone of the series. I had to shake my head at all the people last week who were going on about how great it was that we'd see Ninja Slayer versus DarkNinja this week, and how awesome that would be, because I knew that as disjointed a series as this is, there was almost no chance that they would indeed give us the payoff of that meeting this week. Continuity-wise, I fully expect this series to make Space Dandy look like Death Note.

Oh well...better mix match the episodes then...YEEEAAARRRT!!!

[Benigmatica]

Episode 7:
"Continuity problems much?"

Looks like this week's episode has two stories: One involves Nancy being saved by Ninja Slayer (obviously), the other is Ninja Slayer not fighting an evil ninja and instead having a chat with an old guy... Oh my Buddha!

[Azuma Denton]

So what happen to last previous episode?
Is this the same gimmick from first Haruhi series where they mix the story sequence on purpose?

[kenjiharima]

ep.7
Nancy episode all the budget went to the fan service scene.

Venom-Bane ninja YEEEAAARRRTTT!!!!

Some Zen talk with an oldman.


Nancy 10/10 :D

[Birdway]

The series DUB is very good and hilarious as the original.

[bastek66]

Nancy Lee is pun on "nan shiri" - nice ass. Almost all her fanarts on pixiv are about her butt.

[Soshishi]

I want more of this Nancy Lee character. Along with the other two girls as well. Kinda wished to see a Dark Ninja fight this ep, but oh well, bet we'll see it sooner or later.

[Sides]

Yeeart!
Great episode this week. Some action scenes reminded me of old 2D games The bit where ninja slayer took care of the guards, in front of the building

[Benigmatica]

Episode 8:
So it seems that there's a new ninja group separate from the Soukaiya Syndicate, I presume?

On the other hand, I feel that Nancy failed to stop the clone cops by uploading a virus, although seeing her cleavage is so damn hot! :heh:

[kenjiharima]

Episode.8

New enemies, some low budget scenes naked body guards and clone cops.

Fanservice Nancy! I WANT MORE OF DAT ASS!!! and that boob! All the budget has gone there along with her drooling. I think she likes getting tied up lol.

In the end I'm not sure if Nancy trusts Ninja Slayer.

[SQA]

I don't think we give this series enough credit for its sound track. Some of the EDs, specially, have been really awesome.

Oh, and they dressed Nancy up as a something very cheap. Trigger be Trigger.

[Benigmatica]

Agreed, it keeps me pumped up with the soundtrack!

By the way, are you referring to Nancy's sexy spy outfit or that oiran garb from Episode 9?

[SQA]

The oiran garb.

[kenjiharima]

Ep.9

Looooooooooooong stare in the intro a full 2 mins
Nancy uses drugs to hack
lots of fanservice and groping on Nan-Shiri and oppai lol :heh:
same old high budget animation
The plot thickens... both Nancy and storywise :heh:

[dniv]

Caught up again. This series is so great. :D I'm glad I waited like 6 weeks before continuing.

Each individual episode has been good, but all together they were pretty great, have to say.

Yeah, the show finally has a plot, and an interesting one at that. Also, it's doing a great job of making fun of what it's supposed to.

The fanservice budget versus the animation budget for everything else is the best.

Also, I just have to comment (since I didn't the first time) about the time they broke into the lab under that windmill ... she unzipped her suit completely... and then zipped it up again lol.

This show is great. :heh:

[MrTerrorist]

So Nancy's attack sound is "Take This!" unlike Ninja Slayer's "Yeart!".
Also, the F word was just said!
And the recent episode had lot's of fanservice.

[kenjiharima]

Ep.10

WTF?! That's almost a hentai scene there with Nancy makes me wonder how Ninja Slayer got in cyber space.

Anyways lots of Nancy fanservice yet again all the budget gone there. The storyline is reall good and intriguing, problem is the very "HIGH" budget animation.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 11:
"Eat, Sleep, YEART!, Repeat!" Speaking of repeat, Studio Trigger sure made use of the same damn footage where Ninja Slayer beat the shit out of Darkninja-san!

[quigonkenny]

episode 11:
"eat, sleep, yeart!, repeat!" speaking of repeat, studio trigger sure made use of the same damn footage where ninja slayer beat the shit out of darkninja-san!
"yeeart!!"
"kuahh!!"

"kuahh!!"

"kuahh!!"
"yeeart!!"
"kuahh!!"

You beat me to it! :heh:

Ep.11

OMG! Finally they fought! Dark Slayer is awesome!
BEPPIN - SEXY NINJA BABE Sword....REALLY?! :heh:
What is this Naruto where Ninja Slayer can control his Ninja Soul? lol :heh:
Oldman dies ala Obi-wan?! :twitch:
Also finally we see Ninja Slayer's face in the anime...Is he producer-san in Idolmaster Cinderella girls? lol

This show really has amazing humor in it and knows how to REALLY work with a tight budget.

[SQA]

12:

Lobster-san jumps to his death in hot water, lol.

And Nancy was all tied up. And I'm still not sure why. (Unless that's known as a "lobster" binding. I really don't want to google that, either.)

A Mad Scientist has to wait for the proper timing to emote his master plan. That's just required.

At least they're consistent with what Nancy's purpose is, haha.

[Benigmatica]

12:

Um, she's here to provide fan-service remember? C'mon, being bound and gagged is so kinky!

[MrTerrorist]

Episode 13. We meet Silver Karasu voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.
He's also Yamato's Iaido master.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 13. We meet Silver Karasu voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.
He's also Yamato's Iaido master.

Too bad that he has cancer and he's about to die soon... Better have him teach Yamoto-san on how to be a better ninja before his time was up!

[AntonKutovoi]

Fujiwara Keiji's voice here was amazing.

[tuckersister]

Fujiwara Keiji's voice here was amazing.
Definitely!!!

It's been awhile since Yamato appeared.

[kenjiharima]

ep.12

Lobster, Bondage of Nancy Lee and Dark Ninja nuff said.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 14:
Well, that was a sad way to end Tanaka Kagi's life... While he didn't explode, he just passed out for good! Rest in peace, Silver Karasu-san! :(

[R.D.Blax]

The ending theme of this episode with really nice. Anybody know the name of the song ?

[Benigmatica]

Episode 15:
Wow, seems that Dragon Yukano returned... but she got amnesia and that's why she got her name based on it! :heh:

[MrTerrorist]

^And sexier as well.

[MrTerrorist]

Episode 16:
Ninja Slayer joins Yukano/Amnesia rebel group to keep an eye on her.
Turns out, the group are a bunch of Communist hardliners who would kill innocents just because they only ride a train owned by the Syndicate.
This pisses Ninja Slayer off which you can probably guess what happens next.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 16:
Well, those commie ninjas sure get a beating by Ninja Slayer. In any case, he should rescue Amnesia-san fast before something bad will happen to her!

[tuckersister]

Episode 17:
Another Yamoto episode. She meets a zombie ninja named Genicide. Again, you see Yamoto carrying Tanaka's sword. Good episode. Still wait for her to meet Ninja Slayer again. Both of those ninjas fighting together would awesome.

Also, Dr. Lee is shown. I bet he's related to Nancy.

[MrTerrorist]

^Nope. His full name is Dr. Lee Araki so they aren't related.

[tuckersister]

I'm hoping there will be an episode with both Ninja Slayer and Yamoto in it.

[kenjiharima]

Just caught up not gonna review the older episodes that where already discussed.

ep.18 - Yukano/Amnesia-san super cute in casual clothes, Ninja Slayer failed to convince her to go back with him.

ep.19 - Nancy getting choked and her files hacked, Ninja Slayer helps with domestic abuse and probably got some if you know what I mean lol :heh: and pretty much killed 4 forgettable ninja's off screen.

The length and animation really is the main prob here, but the story is great.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 19:
Wow, that's some poetic justice coming from Ninja Slayer by beating a wife beater to hell! Still, he was caught in a trap by rouge ninjas that were defected from the Soukaiya.

[tuckersister]

Just watched Episode 20, Ninja Slayer got his ass whooped for the first time. Also amazing, Ninja Slayer...on a motorcycle!!!! Ninja Slayer will need to gather allies to make a raid on the Soukai Syndicate.

[AntonKutovoi]

What can I say about this episode?

[blakstealth]

Ah, I thought it was gonna end at episode 24.

The ninja inside Fujikido finally makes his appearance. oh god

[Benigmatica]

Episode 24:

Damn, Laomoto-san couldn't be beaten by Ninja Slayer! On the other hand, what happened to Fujikido's soul after being taken over by Naraku Ninja?

Gotta love how the figures have more detail than the anime (can it even be called that?) Itself.:heh:

[Kuroageha]

Anime is pretty detailed, depends on where too pick.

[Master_Yoma]

With the whole city in chaos


6/10 Need more of Nancy

[Kuroageha]

Loved the last episode, it really delivered, and I'm going to miss this show.

[Magewolf]

I quite liked the show. They certainly put in a lot of sequel hooks but I do not see this making any money, so this is the end I guess.

I would like to know what was going on with Dark Ninja and if Ninja Slayer ever ends up with someone.

[tuckersister]

It continues on in the novel series. Still can't find the translations.

I really want to know how Yamoto bonded with Ninja Slayer and become his comrade in the Kyoto Hell on Earth Arc. She is in this arc more than the previous one. I wonder she became a geisha?

I also wonder if Yukano regained her memories as there is a novel volume dealing with the history of the Dragon Clan and their rivalry with an enemy clan who is present day come to exterminate the Dragon bloodline.

Again, really interested in the Kyoto Hell on Earth arc and the Nina Slayer Never Dies arc.

[dragon1412]

Ninja slayer doesn't end with anyone, there are individual heroine arc which is scale as Yukano > nancy > agatha. Generally Yukano is considering the main heroine during the final arc and her side story along with their interaction, and the fact that she is the only girl is a Ninja(dragon ninja), on 1 ss confirmed 3 of them are heroine. Yamoto isn't really interact much with NS . The dragon clan is mentioned in Kyoto in hell and NS never die
All in NS is not that great as a novel in my opinion, the interaction between characters is one of the main problems, the action scene and plot line is rather generic, the novel selling point is only their characterisation and their unique setting

The novels are now available at Vertical Comics. (http://vertical-comics.com/books/ninja_01.php) Even the manga as well. (http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Slayer-Kills-Koutarou-Sekine/dp/1632360861/ref=pd_cp_14_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=02GY4041JS06XTR1NR6C&dpID=51JDXnfcJXL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL70_SR70%2C70_)

[Benigmatica]

Episode 26:
Loved how Studio Trigger broke the fourth wall by breaking the black bars, revealing the widescreen!

While Laomoto Khan was defeated, it's sad that Ninja Slayer won't fight against Dark Ninja and Ikki Uchikowashi for the time being... unless the 2016 special might solve things out!

[kenjiharima]

Just finished Ninja Slayer skipping things....revenge plot kills the main baddie, leaves it open ended with 2 other ninja's Dark Slayer and Amnesia/Yukano and Yamoto doing her own thing.

Overall the story is good, great characters and an awful...err I mean "AMAZING" /sarcasm animation.

7/10

[kyuudere]

[Chibiloli]

Yeah, I gotta ask? How far are the ninja slayer vertical comics? I heard something about a tournament?

[kampfer91]

sorry for dug up this thread but seriously i need to get this off my chest after watching the anime ( yes i know i am late for it ) .

What happen to Yukano after Saitama in flame arc , will she recover her memory and is Ninja Slayer right to leave her with communist ninja group who will do terrible thing and in the future he will sure to kill Tetsuo thus getting in the way of Amnesia ? Ninja Slayer kinda a doomed soul at this point , his original family ded , his second one basically gone and he won't be able to fulfill Gengoro request and forever on a bloody path of Yeeart out ninja .

For a series that is 7 years old i can't find any information or spoiler and it really messing my feeling so i want to lay it to rest ....
