Adult Swim announced an original futuristic ninja action-adventure anime titled Ninja Kamui on Wednesday. The programming block also revealed the main staff and a teaser visual (pictured).

Seong-Hu Park (Jujutsu Kaisen, The God of High School) is helming the anime at E&H Production and Sola Entertainment. Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai, Garo: Vanishing Line) is designing the characters.

Synopsis
Ninja Kamui will follow Joe Higan who is a Nukenin—a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code.

Rising from his seeming "death," Joe will re-emerge as his former self—Ninja Kamui—to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him. (Source: Deadline)

so he will not direct Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2? if this comes out the same year as Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 that is

im not sure he can do like the God of High School and Jujutsu Kaisen directing in the same year again because those kind of experience does not happen often for a director

So... classic Hollywood shtick.

Not trusting any American company frankly, they should keep to kid cartoons.

Sounds like some executive producers at Adult Swim still have no idea what the hell the people want.

not sure how i feel about it being set in america and having cyborgs and what not, hopefully it's cool rather than goofy, but as long as the writing doesn't absolutely blow and it's not a shitty 3dcg fest, i feel like this could be a banger, the director definitely knows his way around badass action scenes.

This sounds like a Mark Millar comic, like Wanted or Kingsmen. I'm up for it.
By the director, I hope the action sequences would be dope.

And here I hoped for a translation of Sanpei Shirato's legendary "Kamui" series for a second...But it sounds like a very obvious ripoff? Or homage? Eh.

Honestly this sounds bland it smells like amother yasuke where the creators threw a bunch of nonsense together because they think anime fans are stupid

Literally sounds like an anime version of the game Mark of the Ninja. Which is amazing btw. Ill stay optimistic. Its about ninjas in 21st century. All it has to do is be cool. If it succeeds at that, ill be entertained.

Looks as bad as could be expected from an "Adult Swim Original Anime helmed by Seong--Hu Park".

The Toonami originals haven't been great, but the director has done some really cool work.

This plot sounds like someone just got a Mad-Libs book and filled in "Ninja" here and there. Generic as hell.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Yeah, I want to add it too. the premiere date is on 11th Feb. and this snip was the only news about it. if the entry for the database is pending for approval why it wasn't already tho 😳
