Ninja Kamui (2024)
It has potential.
As an action series, it has potential, the choreography in particular is great however it's not amazing, it lacks detail, only some scenes of the choreography actually has detail beyond a typical fist fight and the animation is great as well but hopefully the long/wide range shots will be as good as the close range shots but even then with the close range shots things seem to just be appearing and disappearing, one ninja appears, they die, they disappear, another ninja appears, they die, etc rather than showing the audience what's actually happening in the environment through a long/wide shot angle but the close shot angles are fine, just lack a bit of detail in terms of choreography but the animation makes the choreography seem outstanding, however imagine that choreography but with horrible or semi horrible animation, it wouldn't look to good right? My point exactly, choreography is only good when it would look good even with amateur animation. Think of Fog hill of Five Elements for example, rare choreography, rare animation, absolutely amazing, and each scene of fog hill of five elements has a lot of detail, the fighting scenes in particular has a lot of detail that you wouldn't seen in any other series, and fog hill of five elements utilize physics a lot more correctly compared to other animes. This review by the way only focuses on the action side of things for Ninja Kamui since we haven't seen much of the story side yet (that means the 10 stars are solely for the action)
