Best Ninja Anime Other Than Naruto
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Befitting how ingrained it is into Japanese history and pop culture, ninja anime is one of the most popular subsets of anime around. The cultural appeal and folklore surrounding ninjas allow for a lot of creativity in the stories that utilize them, and the occasions where anime and manga can use real-life ninjas add an extra layer of charm to their overarching narratives, as well.
TMS Entertainment produced a 12-episode series in 2012. Disappointingly, the run only covers a small part of Kairi Shimotsuki's original manga, which ran for eight volumes before receiving a nine volume sequel. Nonetheless, with this brevity, the adaptation provides a short and sweet complement to Naruto. Even Saizo is an absolute delight, as his brooding, black-haired appearance makes him resemble Sasuke Uchiha.
Despite being a Japanese production, its aesthetic feels lifted out of a Western comic, as Rikka explores an American-style city, and her struggle with revenge is familiar to any fan of comics like Batman. Thanks to it unknowingly aping such comic conventions, Blackfox is a bit of a curiosity as an animated film.

Ninja Kamui is the first full-length anime by E&H Production, and it's an incredible watch. Owing to its clear John Wick inspiration, Ninja Kamui is filled to the brim with intense and gorgeously animated action in every episode, and the animation ends up easily being Sunghoo Park’s best work since Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Jigokuraku is a change of pace, with its visceral horror and cast of miscreants inhabiting a dark interpretation of Edo-era Japan. That, and the fact it is being adapted by MAPPA made it a highly anticipated show for the 2023 spring season. The studio once again proves its chops with stylish art direction, accompanied by gorgeous renderings of Kotaku Island's jungles and monsters. While the second season of Jigokuraku has already been announced, the manga is already finished at 127 chapters.
