Ninja Kamui, a new original anime series by Jujutsu Kaisen director Sunghoo Park, will be debuting on Toonami this February 10, 2024 at midnight. Last year, Toonami announced that they were producing Ninja Kamui, a new original IP directed by Sunghoo Park, known best for directing the Jujutsu Kaisen anime series.

Western Influence on Anime - A Short Closer Look At Lazarus and Ninja Kamui

I wanted to break down something that irks me, not in a way that sends me into a spiral, but one that bemoans Corporate America and their desire to beat things to death. I think Adult Swim is cool, I grew up on some of their series like Robot Chicken (which I definitely shouldn't have been watching when I did). I like a lot of what they put down. I'm just not a fan of all these American IPs and studios/networks getting JP studios to produce an "anime" based on their works. It's not an anime, and I really want to break down why that title is ill fitted to these works (based largely upon Lazarus and Ninja Kamui).

So we'll begin at the root. Both Mappa and E&H Production have been contracted by Adult Swim to produce series for them. Both of them are also working alongside Sola Entertainment, a 3D-based studio that's stayed close to Adult Swim in recent years (even has a US-based office). I think this is the biggest giveaway/red flag as to the departure from a typical anime style, personally. Sola Entertainment isn't just another studio on the series though, they're listed as a producer for it. When looking information up for these projects, neither MAPPA or E&H are listed as producers as well, just the animation studios. If it wasn't clear, this gives Sola the lead/initiative on how to approach both series, and the results speak for themselves.

With Lazarus, what you see is what you get: a 3D-first series. Is it expected? Sort of, they've got the action choreographer for John Wick on tap for the work. Do I think it meshes well? Arguably not, no. It finds an uncanny valley in a lot of the camera movement as it gets overly excited, and not only that, but the choreography lacks the weight usually ascribed to anime action. It floats and flutters rather than jumps and punches.

Could some of that struggle be the cause of the 3D environments? Quite possible yes, but it doesn't account for the struggle in its entirety. It's a very odd middle ground, and immediately you can see some of the shortcomings in terms of composition alone. The characters do a decent enough job of meshing (most of the time), but the difference between environment CGI and object CGI are pretty clear cut.

Fundamentally, I think what this comes to is a lack of understanding of 3D anime between Sola's inclusion and Mappa's experience. Studio Orange pulled Trigun Stampede out from their sleeve this year, and the camera work is on a totally different level. Of course, they had the advent of being a fully 3D affair. Because of that, you might say that Lazarus wants to be a fully 3D series like Blade Runner: Black Lotus (which Sola animated), but is stuck in uncanny valley with its 2D work. But well, I'm sure not many have watched Black Lotus, and I can't say I really recommend it. If you do though, you'll immediately understand the struggles that appear with Lazarus.

Anyways, onto Ninja Kamui, Sunghoo Park's seemingly first series post-Mappa. I'm rather sad about this one, honestly. Park's sensibilities are felt incredibly strong in the trailer, but even still are somewhat masked by the American interference in style.

I'm very comfortable in saying though that Ninja Kamui appears miles better and more confident in its approach and style than Lazarus does. Just take a look at the weight and movement of this action. Even under Sola Entertainment, Sunghoo Park's impeccable eye for action is unmistakable.

Obviously it's not all sunshine and rainbows as things like the camera are still a little trigger happy on shakes and movements compared to the usual. It's such a curious thing that the West prioritizes shock and awe in comparison to the East's more grounded and focused approach. Regardless, it's a very easy tell for the difference between the two.

Anyways, here's Sunghoo Park stating that the action is different because of a live-action influence. Clearly, since the words are coming from him, so we can't explicitly ascribe this to Sola or Adult Swim/Warner Bros, but I think most would be comfortable in making that assumption.

Truthfully, I think this is the crown jewel of reasoning for why Western-produced anime fail.

They try to make a Western anime

It's like trying to make a Japanese Western movie, or a Western Samurai movie (we all know how well these go over). They're entirely incompatible things. The sensibilities, the styles, the history, they are totally incongruent to one another. You're mixing oil and water with the two, and it produces weird things that occupy neither side of the equation, like the new Superman series (which is admittedly better since it's a shallow mimicry at best).

If you want to make an anime based on a Western IP or product, look no further than Cybeprunk: Edgerunners. CD Projekt supplied the story, and allowed Trigger to do all the heavy lifting. It remains a Trigger anime, it remains a proper anime. Series like Lazarus and Ninja Kamui dig up too much of their roots in the name of American greed and control.

Need I say more than Yasuke? The Mappa-animated, Western-created anime that people were hyping up for ages? The series that is in the top 3 worst scored anime series from MAPPA? I love Shinichiro Watanabe and Sunghoo Park, and I'm still going to be 1000% watching these series. But I already know what I'll be getting out of them, and at best, it isn't going to be an anime.

▶️ NINJA KAMUI: NUOVO TRAILER IN ATTESA DEL DEBUTTO L'11 FEBBRAIO DELLA SERIE NEGLI USA!

Sono un uomo semplice, sento Carpenter Brut e metto il like sulla fiducia.

Parlando dell'anime, è la storia di un ninja nell'era moderna, che per vendicare la propria famiglia sbudella altri ninja, cyborg da combattimento e chiunque altro si metta in mezzo.

Niente di eclatante, ma il progetto originale, prodotto per Adult Swim, è diretto da un certo Sunghoo Park (Jujutsu Kaisen, The God of High School), che in quanto ad azione può decisamente dare spettacolo!
