Animation: First and foremost the animation studio EH Productions ability to create exquisite 2D bodytobody combat choreography while remaining fastpaced and extremely fluid to the eye. https://64.media.tumblr.com/084020db7f8da0fb0a61f6f408aa057a/bcf941a14864b74474/s540x810/1ef91b9eb4251906f5e5280b3140c157400bf8cf.gifv Next lets talk about the characters who are on the whole rather simple with no real development beyond the ordinary. We get to know most of the animes cast pretty quickly including some characters who only get a few lines of dialogue before being relegated to the background as the anime starts rushing fights and ending them in 5 or even 10 minutes. And Im talking here about fights against people designated as important opponents.Apart from that well have a few endearing characters but nothing that will really upset the viewer if youre an anime regular. Why has Ninja Kamui become so bad ? First of all as I explained above its classic veangence with a story thats extremely simple to understand. Extremely predictable events and an abundance of useless characters to make us believe that Higan has adversaries. Even the characters who do get screen time are sorely lacking in depth their characters far too undeveloped preventing us from becoming attached to them. The main antagonists are deadly boring Between a 20yearold kid who has a big head but ultimately people dont respect and an old wreck with a character design that says Im bad which serves no purpose throughout the series. Finally the 2D handtohand animation that was the great strength of the anime up to now has been replaced by CGI for the armored battles which have lost all the fluidity and magnificent intensity of the battles at the start of the season. Im not criticizing 3D I just see a lot of studios trying to save money and not producing quality It wasnt horrible either just cruelly inferior to the animes 2D 3D can be excellent animation if used well just as 2D can be ugly but more acceptable today due to its popularity.. I have to admit that I enjoyed following the series to the end even if the finale is full of clichs about feelings the kind of thing that works without breaking too much ground to innovate xD. To sum up this series Ill use one word: SIMPLE. Dont expect anything just enjoy the exelent bodytobody choreography at the beginning of the season which has nothing to envy to other popular animes.
