Ninja Slayer From Animation

What do you get when Trigger asks Michael Bay to direct a Japanese version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force but with more plot and less disgust? I'll tell you what you get - You get motherf***ing Ninja Slayer!

Time for a review and let's start with a summary.

Overall: 6

Ninja Slayer from Animation is a anime that I think only the special kind would enjoy, with it's plot-line being just fine, art like a car crash, sound and music that is decent enough, characters that you somewhat grow fond of over time and tons of YEEART, ARRGH and SAYONARA! So let's break this up -

Story: 6

Ninja Slayer's ... story is among those that is so regular these days that you can't really bash them for being overused. Main character has had some kind of loss and thus seeks vengeance by kicking everyone's sorry a** til he reaches the head of them all and gives him the boot as well. Yet it's the way Ninja Slayer presented / introduced us to the plot and made it go along the line that made it better than the "usual" way this sort of plot is presented.

Ninja Slayer's story gets a 6 at the end of the day, a rank worthy of "Well presented average"

Art: 3

This is a mess, an absolute total mess without remorse, this was the only aspect that had me almost dropping the show but I figured it's not 100% CGI Crap nor is it colorless paper flatness all the way and thus I can't give it a lower rating - And the show kept me entertained to a certain degree so the art at the end of the day didn't ruin the show, it just brought it down by a ton. Yet I assume this is what's suppose to be some of the "beauty" around Ninja Slayer, but I for one can't say that art style like this train wreck can be considered good.

The art of Ninja Slayer gets a solid 3 and well so that.

Sound: 6

I personally liked the soundtracks for Ninja Slayer although it was not many of them. They suited the mood and scenery just fine pretty much all the time, and so did all other background sounds. In the long run some of it might have been a tad repetitive but it was not bad. And besides that there is not much more to say about the sound.

Music, sounds and whatnot from Ninja Slayer scores a 6.

Characters: 5

So many, some of them short lived, others a mystery til series end, some lovable, others simply annoying and the last set was there with us til the end and became someone I could enjoy watching in action. Ninja Slayers issue was that all the enemy ninjas became a bit un-creative eventually and that made some of the characteristics lose it's glance. And most of them died off before we even could start properly: Once again - Most likely part of the shows "beauty" but that didn't strike the nail on the head for me. Yet those we followed from start to end of mid to end like Ninja Slayer and Nancy winded up as likable main characters which is important.

Ninja Slayer and it's crew gets a high 5.

Enjoyment 5:

At the end of the day, Ninja Slayer was not the anime I JUMPED to watch, yet I didn't let one entire week go by without making sure I watched the most recent episode. Ninja Slayer had a certain zing to it that made it fun to watch yet it was not tip top. It was average, just in the middle line and because of that I wont rank it higher nor lower.

The enjoyment for watching Ninja Slayer gets a 5.

And that concludes the review of Ninja Slayer with and overall rating of 6! Wait... What do you mean I should rate it higher? Who even are you? Wait?! What?! *YEEART!* AARGH! SAYONARA!

- Low rating reviewer's must perish!

Ninja Slayer is, well frankly, an experience not worth missing. The inferno cop esque style pairs perfectly with the outrageous sketchy art style of Trigger. There is practically no REAL story...but let me get right into that

STORY: 4
This is the tale of Fujikido's quest for vengeance against the fearsome boss of the syndicate organization, Soukai, for the killing of his son and wife. Simple...yes...Stupidly simple? Absolutely. There's no complex shit that requires deep thinking. It would be an insult to distinguish it's story as being superb over some of the likes of classics *ahem* Trigun, NGE, Fist of the North ... Star. I'm not gonna lie and tell you to watch it for the story...now on the other hand

ART: 6
The art is a calamity between shitty 2d fight scenes made from flash and 3D typical Gainax/Trigger animation. But, I do think this does it value. I appreciate being shown these well-enough animated sequences but then being immediately reminded that I'm watching a show made for us stupid Americans to stop thinking we know everything. As a treat, we get to look at the same frame for 50 seconds....like take the scene where Ninja Slayer and Nancy are sitting there. It's a grim reminder that my intelligence can be quelled under certain circumstances.

SOUND:8
BACK IN BLACK is a great intro. So rocking and catchy and the lyrics try and provide us a deeper meaning into absolutely nothing. The song that plays when Ninja Slayer goes into a fight is nice. Overall, I didn't want to lynch myself over repetitive music if that tells you anything

ENJOYMENT:8
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART. I think that's all I need to say here

Overall: a solid 6.
There's no point in giving it any higher than this. There will be some moments in the show where you'll be regretting even clicking on the first episode. So, heed my warning, this show is a shittly made, poorly presented, masterpiece at being bad....but I do believe its worth at least one watch.
