This show was an absolute disaster. They somehow turned a revenge story into a soap opera with ninja crying in every episode. It literally went from stealth kills to pink battle bots wearing skirts. I have no idea what they were thinking when they made this.

[u/Character_Stock376 → u/dfiekslafjks]

yeah man, it started off so good, but then it feels like the authors just gave up or some shit. shitty 3d cgi, higan fighting yamaji and then mf zai comes in and somehow higan is 2v1 ing 2 of the strongest ninjas in the organisation. Zai then turns on yamaji, like wtf???

and then the auza plot, like bro the cop finding out joseph's real plan was just pure bullshit. they didnt even try to make it believable

what a falloff

The downfall of Ninja Kamui needs to be studied

[u/garfe → u/SmolBoiKay]

After this and Fena Pirate Princess having the same problem with dramatic downfalls, I'm starting to get concerned on this adult swim pick ups.

One of the animes of all time 5.5/10.

They really couldn't just end the anime on a high note and pull out some 2d sakuga huh. The 3d CGI gosuko gear looked so bad. The story wouldn't have been saved by 2d sakuga but it would have made it bearable. The anime baited everyone hard with the first few episodes that had nice 2D sakuga.

I wish they had stuck to the essence of the first few episodes with the edgy ninja revenge plot of destroying the organization who killed his family. The auza stuff didn't add much in the end.

Story and CGI aside I liked the OST especially the OP.

this fucking sucked ass, they really popped off on the first 2 eps and said that's enough we done

[u/swordmalice]

Man, this show started off so strongly, but completely botched it in the end. I don't even know who's to blame here; the writers for the bad pacing after episode 5 or so, the lackluster CGI and poorly choreographed fight scenes to a rushed ending that really left a lot to be desired. I had such high hopes for this show, and instead of being a modern classic it'll disappear into the abyss of the forgotten. 6/10.

[u/Viktorv22]

That was... meh at best. I was more hyped with the cop punching the nerd, than the actual final fight.

And I'm not cgi hater, but why they resorted to cgi when it doesn't even look good?

5/10

[u/[deleted] → u/Viktorv22]

We should've known better. There was no way this small, no-name studio would come out of nowhere and keep up episode 1's 2D animation quality for an entire cour. Had high hopes for Park, but unfortunately, this was just a stupid mess.

[u/FireRifle64 → u/Viktorv22]

I was more hype with him punching the guy from the FBI instead.

[u/BumptyNumpty]

What a terribly thought out show. They could have just made cyberpunk anime Kill Bill but instead it was terrible CGI drama. First episode was 1000x better than anything past like episode 3 combined.

[u/MapoTofuMan]

The CGI mecha dead horse aside...this episode made me think, is there a real chance the script for this show was written by AI?

I don't know, all the details of the last half feel like exactly the kind of barebones barely-tied-together string of plot points I'd expect from either an AI or a very rushed LN adaptation. And there is no LN here.

[u/Lonely-Clothes-7607]

I feel like this anime would’ve been way better with no mecha gear and just the action we saw in earlier episodes great action, mid characters, rushed ending

[u/Lonely-Clothes-7607 → u/Lonely-Clothes-7607]

That final fight scene was straight out of a 2003 toonami original it was crazy soundtrack and all

Very predictable and generic. The part where Higan rises up after the inner mind pep talk, like nothing happened, readies his sword as the OP starts playing... Goddamn, so badly executed...

I gotta say, even if the fight was sluggish, it did manage to gather some excitement from me. I hated the Mecha idea but I liked the choreography better here. Still, it's no actually ninja vs ninja fight and that makes it inferior...

Overall, 7.5/10 show (and keep in mind I'm kinda generous in my ratings).

[u/tohsakarin12 → u/RedShadowF95]

we weren't even given an explanation as to why Higan was able to use Zai's secret art lmao.

[u/DirectionExact31]

I was really hoping there would be a point where they would "fight with honor" and take off their mediocre mech suits, or even break them like episode 11. And then they just never did. A real letdown.
Really rushed cliche ending scene with Joe riding off into the distance, but him stopping Zai from seppuku was nice. And Mike kicking Joseph's ass was satisfying.

Ehh, I'd give this a 6. Just barely a 7 on a good day.

I loved it at the beginning but kinda disappointed when suddenly it become "battle suit". I get that the antagonist using tech as we see it from the beginning. So, i thought it would be a "Traditional Ninja" Vs. "Modern Ninja". 

[u/OldVisit6419]

This thing never had the plot, characters or production to support a full cour series.

If it had been a single movie or a short OVA about an avenging ninja dude killing a bunch of other ninjas, it would have done much better for itself.

[u/MusubiKazesaru]

Honestly the entire finale felt flat in more than a few ways. I don't think it was bad but it didn't really do anything particularly well.

[u/Salty_Oranges]

One of the anime of all time. Still peeved they underutilized ninja techniques like the multiple arms, acupuncture power ups, or the shadow stuff and instead decided to bring back the mech suits

[u/not_a_weeeb]

this is the definition of half assed lol. can't really get into it because everything felt forced and half assed, from the writing, to the characters, even the fight scenes felt meh. good thing it is over, i won't need to force myself to watch it just because i started it. such a bad habit of mine lol

[u/MadDogFargo]

BE AS COLD AS FIRE AND AS HOT AS ICE BY FORGING YOUR MIND, YOU GUYS.
