wonder if those auza guys made the masks that Higan and family were using... if so, then there's a possibility that auza company is related to the murderous ninja clan?
btw, im gettin nauseous from motion sickness, i hate the fights, the camera following them doing a loop movement it's just... 😵‍💫 so disorienting.

Even so, I'm increasingly curious about ninja techniques (I forget what it's called. Ninpo or whatever. My memory is very bad.)

ah... it's called ninjutsu. I liked Higan's technique and the enemy cloned himself, it's like if naruto went actually dark in its fights 😎

it's just great action/animation nothing more interesting

agree, the torture was disappointing tho... Morris it's funny so there's that 😄 magical ninjas still being dull

Time to start a dead pool for the main cast so far:

Mike? So dead. No one ever actually retires in these things, unless it's the euphemistic 'retire'.
Emma? Probably start to show interest in Higan, then end up getting a dramatic late stage death for extra pathos.
Higan? Ninja revenge stories don't tend to end with living ninjas. It has the mood that he'll probably succeed in destroying everything but die in the end, bleeding in the rain.
Every bad guy? Dead. Dead. Dead. Lots of blood, lots of stabby-stabby. I'm sure freaky billboard dude and old man ninja are going to die especially... poorly.

Clearly western inspired and aimed to, not only because of the similarities with John Wick, but also because of the soundtrack and well, for the weird combination of ninja techniques and Mission Imposible like technology. It's like a blockbuster rule of cool movie with a check list of things to have in anime, and I'm all for it for now.

Oh, and I love the opening because I was just listening to Coldrain before I began watching this.

Thought his revival would resemble X-men Wolverine lol.
Amazing execution and cinematography so far. The director knew what he wanted us to see, and we saw exactly what we wanted. They even use forbidden arts, now that’s the ninja way!🥷🔥
If only under ninja had taken this approach….maybe?

Just fights without any depth. Animation is good, but it's not enough to make anime great. It's just like John Wick movies.

Man the animation is awesome. This is like scifi anime John Wick. I just hope the story doesn't get too silly.

Not every anime in the existence has to be 10/10 masterpiece, if this one is solid 6.5-7/10, I am taking it.
It's weird to look for phylosophical debates in adrenaline action anime, maybe look somewhere else- like Ergo Proxy or Serial Experiments Lain.
Different series for different purposes, man, sometimes it's nice to watch something like SuperCrooks, Cyberpunk or said John Wick.

Great pacing, great animation and great choreography. I think this one is one of the best starter for 2024.
It is so good that after watching the first two episodes, I had to write a review and go back and rewatch the first two episodes once more. I greatly enjoyed the first two episode.

an even better second episode, the plot might be alil thin, since it's just another revenge storyline, but the fight scenes are carrying, and the characters are charming and take themselves seriously enough that the stakes feel pretty high, so pretty cool so far, also detective Emma is hot as hell... I guess it speaks to how nice the character models look..

Joe stabbed the dude multiple times and stuck four different knives into him before burning him alive. It's crazy how the guy didn't die from blood loss, but I don't think he'll survive from being burned alive.

The episode itself was pretty good, and the fights are still insane to watch.

This has a little similarity with Under Ninja with the animation just a bit leveled, but honestly I really like this one. (I also like the other one too, though)
There are a lot of questions unanswered so looking forward to the next episode

Damn he's really using the most hardcore methods burning that guy alive for his revenge, and of course the meeting with the investigator went wrong with these fake food deliveries guys all attacking him (getting destroyed though) but they EXPLODED the restaurant, this show is no joke

The first lesson about torture is that it is unreliable, of little use and labour-intensive. If you have to resort to it, it means things are bad and have been for a long time. There are a number of non-violent or less violent techniques for extracting information from an object. It takes a lot of time and quality personnel but the information you get is much better.
If you need to 'spill your guts', you are in a bad place and torture will not help.

There is, of course, the option of intimidating groups of people that you compactly contain. Take the fastest one, break him physically and mentally, and then bring him back. It's a form of bravado. But if that's what it takes, see point one. You've got it bad. There is also the possibility of holding prisoners in difficult conditions, where you have to 'improvise' with methods of confinement. In other cases, I strongly advise against it.

Action scenes are good, brutal, dynamic. The animation quality is good. It looks okay. There are nuances. Many scenes are strange. Quite strange. In comparison, something like "Jujutsu Kaisen" look much more coherent and internally less contradictory. Even the recent "Under Ninja", with all its austerity... It's not a question of realism but of the viewer's belief in what's going on. How well the author paints the picture of the story.
