@mizukasa Are you for real dude ??? This is your complain ? 😭🤣🤣
| @ZXEAN It's a very logical way to do it, isn't it? Such a simple thing as well but with huge impact. Even slitting the throat would be fine or stab him the heart. It wouldn't even take 1 second considering their superhuman abilities and they still fail to do such an easy thing. Now we know how stupid the writer is. Stupidest plot armor ever made. There are other ways to replicate that same event without pulling that kind of stunt. -_- We can expect more stupid stuff from this show. |
 |
| Very predictable outcome. The show has got that western cartoony look, which I'm not too fond of - but the animation in the fight scenes is top notch. Overall, it seems like it's gonna be an enjoyable, action-packed, thrill ride. |

@ZXEAN demon slayer has way better animation than jjk s2 lol. You should remember that animation design has become simple in jjks2 meanwhile demon slayer is much more detailed
| @XiongYifan Strongly disagree but anyway have a nice day. |

| @mizukasa Almost every shonen/seinen action series use plot armour to move it's story forward. |

| @P3TE Cartoon look??? It's art style is top tier very similar to 90s anime art style. |
| Solid first episode. Not one but 4 amazing fight scenes. If they keep this quality throughout the entire series, this anime gets, at least, an 8 rating for me. Nothing that crazy so far when it comes to the story, but I am seated. |
 |
| The people commenting in this thread like "you must be crazy if you think this is just okayish and not super amazing!!!" are the same ones who would make it rated 6.58 instead of 8.58 if it didn't have stellar animation. |
| Didn't know that this was dropping at all. Just turned up casually on my HBO feed and it was a most welcome surprise. A classic, run of the mill revenge story it seems but visually it's just a feast. Film level animation. Gives me Gungrave vibes as well. The salt in some of the comments though.... Is it because it's a story occurring in the US instead of Japan? Guys playing guitars triggering some? Lighten up, it's one show out of the thirtysomething we get each season. |

| I hope my favorite under appreciated j-rock band coldrain can reach the fame that they deserved with this anime <3 Even if visual of the opening doesnt look sync with the song, the song itself is fire |
| Bloody and tragic first episode!!! The revenge is the worst way when theren´t way! kekeke |
| YOOO This was INSANE! I have no other words for this. So brutal and action-packed and these animations - just perfect. |
| tsuda's growling had me feeling a certain type of way |
| The first chapter was spectacular. If the following chapters maintain the same quality, it will easily be the best anime of the season. |

| @ZXEAN I wasn't referring to traditional cartoons, but to western animated shows that try to pass unsuccessfully as anime with their lifeless, oversaturated colors - hence the 'cartoony look'. An example would be Blood of Zeus. |

@mizukasa Are you bothered by the plot armour of One Piece ? I mean when it comes to plot armour that show will always be at the top despite that it ended up being your favourite manga.
| @ZXEAN Because it wasn't done as stupid as this one. These ninjas are supposed to be professionals but overlooks such a simple thing. Plot armor is not the problem but the execution of it. Like I said, the same scene can be done in a myriad of ways that won't look as stupid or even insulting as the one they decided to go for. What else is there to expect when the first episode is already like that? How many times I wonder should I suspend my disbelief. At least One Piece has something good going on with its story unlike with Ninja Kamui which fails to address even the simplest of things. -_- |

| @P3TE The show looks similar to City Hunter when it's come to character design and stuff. As for colour design it look is similar to Jujutsu Kaisan S1. |

| @ZXEAN Okay, so? Does it somehow excuse Ninja Kamui's use of poorly-executed plot armor? You can criticize every anime I like and it still won't erase the mistake NK just did. Does that bother you? xD |

| @mizukasa I am just suprised that you are bothered by Ninja Kamui's plot armour while having One Piece in your favourite that's all. I haven't seen a single battle shounen/seinen which doesn't have plot armour but One Piece really took the concept of plot armour to a next level. |
| I have too many questions but for a first episode/debut was EPIC! Very promising and i can't wait to see what is coming next. |

| Holy shit shit shit, this is FIRE. Hope this steals the thunder this season, just the first episode alone outweighs any other show this season. Banger OP from Coldrain, Sunghoo Park back at it, and this time we'll hear more of Kenjirou Tsuda (cherry on top). Can't wait for more |

| @ZXEAN I like One Piece for the story not for the characters. Plot armor is there but they weren't executed as deliberate as this one. Ninja Kamui's villains were supposed to be professionals and the MC's life were literally served on a silver platter. Plus, the police should've took at least 5-10 minutes before they arrived in the room, so that's more time for the villains to behead him but they left by only checking his pulse??? I'm surprised you can take a simple criticism and turn it to a long argument. Even if all of my favorites have plot armor, it won't erase the one on Ninja Kamui. They key is to accept that your/our favorite anime is not perfect. |

| Great animation but nothing special besides that so far, the story seems basic or at least the 1st episode was, they definitely went fastforward to the main point and tbh that wasn't that bad, I rather that instead of making me empathize with some random family that I know it will die very soon, 5.5/10. I'll keep watching because I like the american setting and I have nothing to watch this season. |
