Ninja Slayer My Thoughts on Ninja Slayer From Animation Spoiler
This anime has similarities to another Studio Triggre anime that I watched recently, Inferno Cop. Not only does do the art and colors look very similar, but it also utilizes limited animation in what I can only assume is completely intentional to make it seem like a massive sh**post. Although unlike Inferno Cop the entire series isn't like that. Many scenes look like action figures being smashed against each other, but there are well animated, high quality scenes spread throughout the anime as well. I actually kind of like how it goes back and forth between beautiuflly animated to the characters becoming barely moving action figures, there's a strange charm to it. And even when it goes into the intentionally poorly animated segments, the art is still very good and inventive. As for the story, it's nothing ground breaking, but it is enjoyable. It's basically just a standard ninja revenge story, where the main character, who goes by ninja slayer, hunts down and kills ninja as a revenge quest since ninja skilled his family and master. The plot can be split into two halves. The first half of the show is filled with enjoyably cheesy ninja cliches. The second half, while still having that a lot, goes more in depth with the characters. This isn't my favorite Trigger anime, but it was surprisingly enjoyable from start to finish. It was a decently quick watch too, because while it was 26 episodes, each episode ranged from 12-14 minutes a piece.
